Obama removing presidential portraits from White House
Illinois Republican Assembly -- An Affiliate of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies ^ | 5-23-2009 | Illinois Republican Assembly

President Hussein and Mrs. Hussein are reportedly removing portraits of presidents past from the White House and replacing them with abstract art.

Remember, in Cambodia, when the Khumer Rouge took over, they declared it to be "year one," and removed all references to the past.

Abstract art rather than pictures of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln? Yes, those oppressors, in Obama's mind, represent the stale US past

No, the WSJ article does NOT support the garbage in the post at the top of the page. Nothing about removing the portraits of prior presidents. Read the WSJ article, not just the excerpt.

Thanks, I will.

I’m on my way to a Ground breaking ceremony for an new Medal of Honor Memorial in Farmington, NM. It will be good to mingle and hear what people are saying.

Don’t be surprised if we see a “Saddam Hussein’ or ‘Castro’ result.

Free and honest elections ended last year.

The WSJ article didn’t say he removed the portraits.

Any other real sources?

There is enough real problems with Obama to be upset
about without getting upset about unproven internet rumors

Pesonally, I have thought that there should be NO presidential palace at 1600...!!!!!
Nor all the other minor gubmint palaces right down to community level.

An abandoned strip—mall with chain link fence surrounding it and those concrete barriers now so commonly seen all over— seems appropriate enough!

“The People” voted for “change!” I don’t think that many of the voters realized that by voting for “The Divine One” they were totally replacing Anglo American Society with black tribalism. Enjoy!

Its frightening, during the Clinton years, i’d hear people talk or write how they wouldnt give up their guns. I agreed, but in all honesty, i think Clinton just viewed it as a method of attacking street crime. I never felt it would lead to a second “Concord”.

There is something deeply unsettling about Obama. I think he is actually trying to end America as we knew it. He is a Socialist revolutionary every bit as much as Castro, Lenin, Hitler, or Hugo. He is nationalizing everything he sees, moving to consolidate power, and trashing everything about the true America. The path he is on ultimately leads to Dictatorship. The BEST we can hope for is a British-style totalitarian government.

Ive never seen a man so determined to end America. Ive never seen so many people on our side so determined not to lose it. We are armed, they want us to accept the revolution as a Fait Accompli.

I fear this will not end peacefully. It makes me very sad for our children. The only thing sadder is if we do nothing. Obama should listen to the Teaparties.

Ok, I really can’t see a “tweet” as a source.

the WH is not a portrait gallery ,a museum nor a public space express the Obama’s personal choices to be displayed as such and any art is not hung in such public spaces unless approved by the committee that oversees the hanging of ANY art in the WH. The oblubbo’s may choose various artists’ work to hang in their private residence and Oval Office in the WHT

I suppose we’ll soon see portraits of Lenin, Marx, Stalin, Mao, Castro and the ubiquitous Che hanging on the walls in their stead.

I soon expect that pictures of Marx, Engles and Lenin will be prominently displayed and Kwanzaa rather than Christmas will be celebrated at the White House. Note in his recent speech Obama pointedly had his back to the original copies of the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution...the symbolism was inescapable.

It was in the WSJ yesterday with pictures of the art being hung on the wall by Michelle. It is pretty crappy stuff. At least one of the pictures removed was Dolly Madison’s portrait. Another was a beautiful landscape of I believe Yosemite. The stuff be put up it their place were “paintings” by noted “60’s” afro-centrist artists.

Yes it’s true.

“I suppose we’ll soon see portraits of Lenin, Marx, Stalin, Mao, Castro and the ubiquitous Che hanging on the walls in their stead.”

Actually I think Obama will replace them mostly with portraits of himself.
