Dubya Re. Recently Discovered Painting Talent: 'Of Course Some People are Surprised I Can Even Read'
Reaganite Republican ^ | 25 April 2013 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 04/25/2013 9:21:56 AM PDT by Reaganite Republican

I'm no art sophisticate or anything, but I know what I like. And as much as I didn't like George W Bush's spending and government expansion, I DO like his work in watercolors- the guy is good-

But if you're surprised, so's Dubya... he had no idea he could paint: seems about a year ago he did some 'doodling' to explain something to the Bush daughters at the ranch one day, and and lo-and-behold a family friend in the art business told him he may have a hidden talent.

Bush had read a book by Winston Churchill on amateur painting, and took the lessons in it to heart: now just a few months later, a few pieces of his were submitted to the Dallas Morning News and published in the ramp-up to the Bush Library opening today... color me impressed!

More at the Dallas Morning News...

Obama: “I inherited Bush's talent, too!”

And whatever he produces (could be painted by someone else), Matthews, MSNBC, and a whole other bunch will say it is BETTER than Bush.

In fact Obama will be the #1 most talented president in our history./liberal whacko logic

Has Obama ever shown any talent in anything at all? Heck, does he even DO ANYTHING outside politics besides vacation and play golf? Is he even decent at golf? Supposedly he can't even properly smoke a joint according to the "choom gang".

All he's ever done in his life is be a half-black puppet for race-marxists. All because he was raised by whites and has “no negro dialect”.

He knows he is a talentless turd and wishes the entire world could be brought down below his level. Like this: http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/harrison.html

I remember Barney as a neat little dog. The Christmas videos with Barney at the White House were a hoot! :)

Erm ... that's "deprecating." "Defacating" is altogether different - and I don't know how one does it to oneself.

There’s a sculptural quality to the Barney painting.

Perfect description of Obama's futile stabs at humor.
