The painter, Kehinde Wiley, has a history of adding semen into his art . . .

Though I would have expected in this case for it to be dripping from the subject's chin . . .

Sperm on face. How appropriate.

From the last “LGBTXYZ” White House gay-la?

The portraits are worthy of these two losers. The only thing missing in the tackiness and tasteless department are that they are not painted on velvet and didn’t come from a garage sale or that they are not accompanied by a bunch of dogs sitting around a table playing cards.

Tacky, tasteless and obnoxious. Just what we came to expect from this pair of bums.

To get serious for a moment, doesn't this fit into the narrative of the angry black man?

We have what would otherwise be considered a career high achievement, the painting of a Presidential portrait to be hung in the National Gallery. But to this artist, it was nothing but a platform for his subversive messaging.

This was meant to be just as "in your face" to gallery viewers as "taking a knee is to NFL fans." The common denominator is the angry black man.

GROSS!!! I’m talking about Obama being president for 8 years.

The best part about the whole thing with these truly awful portraits is that the Obama’s chose him as their artist- and he’s black!

SO - they can’t condemn, object, demand changes - they’re stuck with the worst First Couple paintings EVAH

gotta love it
