You're not seeing things and it is not a spoof picture from The Onion or any other satirical website. The image you see to the right (larger version below the fold) is a painting by artist Michael D'Antuono called "The Truth" that will be officially unveiled at Union Square in New York City on April 29 to mark President Barack Obama's hundreth day in office. Here are the details from the official press release:

Can You Handle 'The Truth'?

NEW YORK, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael D'Antuono may raise more questions than answers when he unveils his highly controversial new painting, "The Truth" on the South Plaza of NYC's Union Square on the 100th day of Barack Obama's presidency. The artist's politically-, religiously- and socially-charged statement on our nation's current political climate and deep partisan divide has been privately raising eyebrows (and voices) since its creation.

Each President has their portrait done and hung in the White House. I guess this is Obama’s official portrait!

The obamma worship is crazy. CNN was running a ticker asking if Obamma was a “superpresident”..... it’s insane.

Jesum Crow! This country is filled to capacity with fools!

It’s soooo creepy.

High creep factor. In more ways than one I guess...

The false christ. Only Satan can pull this off. Has anybody wondered why he named his car “the Beast”?

Left to their own devices the ungodly always create a “divine” idol to worship. Obama is their one. So what does it make them?

[maica]

Caligula?

$$$$$

I have been thinking of that comparison for a good while.

Feh. This "artist" is simply looking for his 15 minutes of fame.

He mixes in religious iconography with a figure that conservatives deeply distrust, with the sole purpose of creating controversy and "buzz."

Notice that the link is from PR Newswire?? He probably put it there himself with the hopes it would be picked up like this.

Best course of action? Ignore him.

Has anybody wondered why he named his car “the Beast”?

I remember seeing that and being momentarily perplexed and amused. I had a jeep cherokee that I called the beast. I named it that because of its gas usage.

His name for his dog is amusing, Bo. That's his initials! Sheesh. How creative.

Heard a term used by author Neal Stephenson in a novel called Cryptonimicon. "Fractally dysfunctional" means dysfunctional on every level from major to minor. (Fractals are repeating geometric patterns that have ratios which do not vary as the geometry goes from large to small.) I read that B Hussein had publically stated he would rescue a dog from the pound when he and his family did get a dog, but went back on that promise in order to get a Portugese water-dog. When I read that, I thought of how on every level he says one thing and does another, down to the smallest little thing.

5And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain and stepped into the floodlights where they had built for Him a temple, and His disciples gathered around Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

6"Blessed are the poor, For theirs is the kingdom of State expropriated wealth.

7Blessed are the jobless, For the taxpayers shall be their keepers.

8Blessed are those who lost their homes, For they shall inherit a bailout.

9Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for Change™, For they shall be filled with a great taxpayer-funded feast.

10Blessed are all who have grievances, For they shall be compensated through civil rights lawsuits.

11Blessed are the peace protesters, For theirs is the Progressive World of Next Tuesday™.

12Blessed are those one illness away from disaster, For they shall obtain free health care.

13Blessed are our homosexual brothers and sisters, For they shall be married and receive Intensive Family Preservation programs and Family Reunification privileges from the immigration authorities.

14"Blessed are you when Republicans revile and persecute you falsely for My sake. 15Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for people love me, so when you follow me, the world will love you, also.

16"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, it is then good for nothing but to be thrown under the bus.

17"Do not think that I came to shrink the size of government. 18For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one dot above an 'i' will by no means pass from the law or government till all of my audacious dreams are fulfilled. And then I will build more.

19"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'We are responsible for ourselves,' but we in truth rise or fall as a collective; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper - unless he lives in a hut in Kenya.

Here endeth the lesson...

The reason they are having to do this is they know he is losing popularity and they have to give everyone a false sense that he is a genius. The only way he gets to shove his communist agenda down this country’s throat is by still being popular. He cannot do this in the 30-40% favorability range.
