Text of excerpt:
Barack and Michelle Obamas official portraits were unveiled at the Smithsonians National Portrait Gallery on Monday morning.

These portraits will undoubtedly hang somewhere with all the others of like status and the two portraits will stand out like a sore thumb. It is a big f**k you to all the other portraits and American culture.
Seeing them together in your post, I note that if you had to choose the subject who had a white parent, youd pick Mooch. They de-Africanized her features to quite the extent. Say it loud!
HOW DARE YOU INSULT HORSES!
Ghetto art
Its a big FU to evil whitey
A.K.A. the soft bigotry of low expectations.
The Mooch’s portrait ain’t bad. She looks better here than when she was imitating the Wookie or sasquatch.
Barry’s ain’t bad either. He doesn’t look like Mussolini and he’s in his favorite place...a cannabis patch.
Incoming!

They be runnin, jumpin, singin ?
You know what I’m sayin ?
I’m expecting Bugs Bunny to pop out of Bambi’s cartoonish picture, saying: “Ehh! What’s Up Doc?”
You can bet it was an Affirmative Action painter.
Affirmative Action in action.
... and this is why we can’t have nice things.
#4 is that suppose to be Michelle? Going up or down a creek in an outboard with 2 dogs? Oh wait its her Avatar? It doesn’t look anything like Michelle, where is the resemblance? Why would any sane person wear a nice white dress in a rowboat with 2 dogs? What was the artist thinking? Maybe some day when the truth is learned, these two portraits with be thrown out in spite of the burning city riots. Love the manly portrait of Obama, it showS so much strength and fortitude of a great leader! (LOL, LOL, LOL!!!) Amerika, you have totally lost it, we ARE doomed, and there is nothing Trump can do to stop it.
That artist is 6 shades of horny right there.
That’s what they tell the Obamas and they believe every word of it. How will the Obamas ever know how bad the portraits are. No one in their circle would dare say anything. Obama had a lot of nerve showing up there after all that has been found out about what he did.
What’s with his hand? No thumb and the wrist goes halfway across his body. Did they owe a Brother a favor?
When was Mooch ever in a flat bottom row boat? Right.
I hate to admit that I kind of like that one.
Regardless of the subject matter, the artist has some real talent.
