Barack and Michelle Obama re-emerged on the public stage Monday in Washington, only this time for an event that has nothing to do with politics. 
The former first couple's official portraits were unveiled at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, a rite of passage for most former presidents, all of whom have their portraits hanging in the museum.

    Anything good enough to use practicing at 200, 300, and 400 yards?

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

    Those weeds Obummer is sitting in look suspiciously like marijuana.

    I never thought there could be anybody worse at painting art than me.

    Michelle’s glaring sneer almost perfectly matches that of the woman head-cutter - wonder what she was thinking......

    agree, but looking at the artist’s other works, artistically, these new ones are the worst the artist has done.

    Figures Obama hired him to do this. It’s for his politics; not his skills as an artist.

    This artist is not “sick”, as some folks on this forum have said. He is evil. We have seen his attitude in the past. He’s not that different from the Third Reich or the Khmer Rouge. He just hasn’t the guts to actually try it. Propaganda tends to beget action, though. He’s not (yet) willing to attempt genocide, but he has no trouble with fomenting it.
Be aware.
Be prepared.

I think it fit both goals for Obama. Obama likes that kind of crappy, Progressive art.

    Helps his violent thug racist artist get some street-cred.
Obama knows exactly what he’s doing. Any which way he can (with apologies to Clint Eastwood).
James Woods needs to pick up on this guy — friend says the guy did the Mooch painting.
