Here are Barack and Michelle Obama's official portraits
Business Insider ^ | 2/12/2018 | Michael Kranz

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."

No. I just wanted people to imagine a gay version.

If Barry were an American . . . wouldn’t it be a ‘given’ that his mother is an American?

Amazing! She wore the shower curtain to the unveiling and she wore the bedroom guilt for the sitting . . .

These artists only paint black people. Facebook is having a ball with this. All sorts of photoshops. Obama on a toilet.

Many years ago I would sometimes have scary bizarre dreams of planes crashing and buildings collapsing, but that was before I knew I was safe in Jesus’ arms and he would take me (and all his saints) to Heaven before the horrific and terrifying Tribulation.

Actually many detailed dreams have taken me to places where I see have seen the end from the beginning. Hard to explain, but your comment ties in to the date of the last dream about the crashes.

It was a series of three dreams in three days, the first one having [seemingly] nothing to do with those airplanes, but rather in perceptions. It involved a sly person ostensibly an expert, wanting me to believe something permanent and negative, so that my belief would become the reality she desired. It could only happen, though, if I believed her.

She kept explaining why I should arrive to her same conclusion, but I didn't fall for it. She unwittingly overplayed her hand, in trying too hard to convince.

And dreams are supposed to be the realm where the mind unwinds from the day, lol. I suppose they are, so if they reveal the state of my mind at rest...

Never a dull moment!

Looking at Obi’s painting, I expect to see Bugs Bunny pop out of the leaves, saying: “Ehh! What’s Up Doc?”

There's a retiree in Spain who would have been more appropriate as a choice of artist.

Never said if “preferred” the definition, I only posted the definition. Select that which you will.

I can not for the life of me figure out what this kind of mean spirited thinking has to do with conservatism.

Forget the “manspreading,” look at the size and proportion of his hands!


Six fingers on his left hand...(Artist obviously a victim of public education).
