Barack and Michelle Obama’s official portraits were unveiled at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery on Monday morning.

True, absolute garbage when the “art” resembles nothing so much as a color blindness test diagram, indeed so much so that CNN had to retouch it to add at least a little contrast.

Citizen, I note your lack of enthusiasm.
You are not even clapping and wildly cheering.

You are hereby assigned to watch 90 minutes of NORKS fawning over their leader!

Failure to change your attitude, well, Otto Warmbier.

(please note, this is satire directed at the crazy progressives)

Looks like it was one of those “paint by the numbers” things to me.
And not very well done.

Reminds me of the bushes he likely hid in as a teenager waiting to service older men in exchange for drugs.

You’re right. It takes all the bitter anger from the Mooch, captures her real appearance as she’d like it, makes her look physically attractive, and gives her a thoughtful, pensive look. IOW a perfect portrait for a first lady to have displayed in the White House or anywhere else.

Another way to say it is we all have photographs taken of ourselves, some good and some bad. This looks like one of the most flattering photographs that ever could have been taken of the Mooch.

Another agreement for Diana as to the GOOD portrait (not the official one just unveiled) that she posted of Michelle.

That’s the one they should have used. It is true to life, it is flattering, and it is respectful.

The other one does not even look like Michelle. It is also disproportionate. Basic art when doing a portrait, come on now.

If we’re able to save our Republic, I’m thinking History is NOT going to be kind to those two Grifters.

“Obama had a lot of nerve showing up there after all that has been found out about what he did.”

He thinks he’s bulletproof. And, sadly, he probably is. :(

THAT was a really funny episode - all of them were pretty good. Always made me chuckle.

So glad she escaped her ‘cult!’ I read her book; it was actually quite good.

The tweets give me an idea. Conservatives should tweet in excessive over-the-top praise and effusiveness to see if there is any limit to what people will accept in deifying the Obamas. Would the leftists ever get it, or would they really believe these 2 dumb crooks are worthy of such adulation?
