Yesterday, the White House announced that it was removing Alma Thomas’ plagiaristic piece “Watusi (Hard Edge)” from its walls. The White House announced that the painting was moved “because it didn’t fit the space right.” The Washington Post pointed out that posters at FreeRepublic.com had examined the similarity between “Watusi (Hard Edge)” and Henri Matisse’s “The Snail” (1953), ignoring the fact that Big Hollywood actually broke the story. The Washington Post covered for the White House, explaining, “Stephens’s explanation makes sense because it is inconceivable that the White House’s art experts would imagine Thomas’s painting was fraudulent or a copy … Elaborations on earlier artists’ work, even full appropriation, have been common practice in art for hundreds of years.”

We’d be better off with Jethro Bodine as president.
I think he’s smarter and better educated than the 0bamunist losers in zer0’s administration.
Disclaimer:
I am not a racist. Zer0’s amateurish, narcissistic stupidity has nothing to do with his ancestry, but rather with his ideology and his grooming therein by the communist elites.
The Obamba’s really are a bunch of uncouth criminal hood rats.
Sadly that is by far the nicest thing I can say about such perverted filth.
...everything is fake,or a scam in the White House.
“You can take the man out of the hood, but you can’t take the hood out of the man.” Said to me a long time ago by a black police officer I worked with.
Obama was never in “The Hood” except as a Community Organiser, who went home to a nice place.
Obama is a fake. Everything about him is fake.
That webpage contained some bad mojo for my computer.
All I can say to that is, yep....
I went back and reviewed the page and noticed that my virus protection (Kaspersky) stopped and logged an interfering routine.
Breitbart is normally a good site, but I guess some advertisements are loaded with junk.
But in Chicago politics...that something to be admired!
And given Pres__ent Zero’s spending of trillions we don’t have, while simultaneously claiming to be “fiscally responsible”, I’d say he did get as far as Jethro in his “double naught” math abilities.
Looks like a pre-school art project
Holy cow! I need to have a stern word with my kids. I didn’t realize that they had been plagerizing art work. Damn it, now I am going to have to take down their art work from my refrigerator. Of well, I thought it was junk anyway.
Alma Thomas' work is derivative at best.
