That slogan always struck me as the most idiotic political slogan, ever, for all of time, without even a close competitor.

Barack Obama is taking on health care, financial regulation, torture and environmental policy. He’s also revamping the White House art collection.
The Obamas are sending ripples through the art world as they put the call out to museums, galleries and private collectors that they’d like to borrow modern art by African-American, Asian, Hispanic and female artists for the White House. In a sharp departure from the 19th-century still lifes, pastorals and portraits that dominate the White House’s public rooms, they are choosing bold, abstract art works.

...the talentless...Maya Angelou who poems sound like a cross between wet farts and Al Sharpton sermons.
Congrats for saying "the [Empress] has no clothes."

sad, but true... He was elected by a generation of Americans raised with propaganda instead of history in school. They believe that America is an oppressor nation. They personally don't want to have less or work harder, but they think you should do with less.
They need to add Clementine Hunter paintings to the walls if they want real African American culture...
I have some of her paintings and I love them.
She worked on a plantation in Louisiana and one of the guests left some painting supplies when they left. She said that she could do that. And she did!
Too bad Puff Daddy voted.
I wouldn’t “loan” those people anything. If they’re going to take it, let them come and take it.
And here is the picture of Lenin I was telling you about children. Right next to it is the picture of Mussolini I also mentioned, and around that corner there is the one of Hugo Chavez, and Fidel Castro. We’re waiting for the one of Manuel Noriega. We’re very excited about that one. Over there is the picture of Allah. Upstairs well see portraits of a man named Soros and a man named Ayers.
I have these two. Wash day & picking cotton.
There is fine African American art. But don’t expect any to be imported by the Obamas unless it’s PC. That means relatively recent and by non-artists.
Maybe Puff Daddy voted. You never know.
Cotton Pickers and Wash Day: Primitive, in the Grandma Moses tradition, but very charming.
Burn the flag and break the crosses off the churches and the headstones of our war dead. Memorial Day? Feh, time to party.
I don’t like “that man.”
Re dogs playing poker pic —
Thanks for posting — that’s the one I was asking for!!! I’d rather see that in White House than some of what Zero proposes.
RE the pic of Meeshel and Zero — nice teeth!
The only thing that’s going to make the black radical militants happy is if they can enslave white people for as long as they perceive their ancestors were enslaved. We’ll be like the greeks to the romans. Except, the black radical militants ain’t no Romans. Not enough discipline.
How bout “eat the rich?”
I could do what Clementine Hunter did.
I don’t mind Clementine Hunter’s art — believe the style is referred to as “naive art.”
Do we think that sort will be represented? Hmm........
LMAO
We submitted this painting by my wife, but it was rejected.
