Here are Barack and Michelle Obama's official portraits

The Smithsonian Institute has just revealed an official portrait of former President Barack Obama in Washington, DC.

Just before dramatically unveiling the former president's portrait, which depicts him sitting in a garden amid green ivy, the Institute presented a portrait of former first lady Michelle Obama, and it looks like it definitely left a huge impression on her.

The portrait was greeted with gasps and applause.

"Wow, wow," Obama said in awe once the portrait was unveiled. She gave a short speech afterward.

"Can we just say wow again?" she said. "I have to tell you that as I stand here today with all of you and look at this amazing portrait that will hang with so many iconic figures, I am overwhelmed to say the least."

I think Trump should put them on permanent loan to either BHO’s library, or even better, the Guggenheim.

OK, I thought this was some kind of joke but these portraits are apparently real. Wow. Can we just say wow again?

So are these portraits really the official ones or just a joke, like you know, they are?

The Kenyanesian Usurper should never have been allowed into the office of President.
He is not a natural born citizen.

Moochelles’s portrait also looks like those paint by numbers back a few decades ago.

The Obama portrait looks ridiculous, Michelle’s portrait looks like Whistler’s step-mother.

You’ll also notice that nothing denotes any pride or any indications of USA.


Noticed that too. Absence of our flag, or similar iconic symbol speaks volumes.

Does not look like her, at all. Fake hair, for sure. The face is just not her.

Please tell me it is real and not satire!

Obama appears to be “manspreading” in his “portrait”.
