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 guess they put that huge dress on Michael so his junk don’t show.

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.

I am no art expert so I guess from my perspective I can only say that it appears they have gotten the “art” they deserve.

Figured this would be closer to an honest depiction of the former FLOTUS.

Michelle’s portrait looks honky.

That looks like Clint Eastwood’s empty chair with an empty suit and an empty head.

Both paintings look stupid and unprofessional- are those the artists standing there? I knew Mooshelle’s wouldn’t resemble her too closely - I’m surprised they didn’t portray her as a size 6.

They could have just used this, and not bothered with official portraits. This sums up what they were/are:

Obama looks like he’s surrounded by poison ivy.

What a disappointment! I was hoping they were going to pick this as the official portrait.
