Would it be that painting that Obama would unveil?
This portrait is already well known.
I figured an ‘unveiling’ would be for a piece never seen before by the public. Something by a different artist.
Now that I think about it, Kehinde Wiley: the artist who painted the
Leafy Obama painting, made his reputation by painting scenes of angry black women beheading white women. Kehinde himself said ‘this is a play on the “kill whitey” theme.”
Some of those paintings were inspired by biblical stories, such as Judith Beheading Holofernes, but with black people substituting for the original models.
Many were asking, of all the artists to chose from, why did Obama chose this one to produce his official portrait?
Naturally, the media never followed up with the story.
Love it— Trump with the “Weed” killer. Remove the obi-won’s “cover”... and the chemicals which created his schizophrenia and stupidity above and beyond his parentage (the one’s he claimed anyway).
Hey Obama consider yourself served. LOL
So what. Belongs in the trash, anyway.
Just cancel the unveiling ceremony.
Trump should unveil it. Praise it and the man to the hilt. Then he should whip out a marker and draw a moustache on it...

Right you are. See post #30.
What a petty little ass.
Petty or pansy? Or puny?
Cowardly? Guilty?
“Two months after we gathered here, America’s highest court struck down the order of God, and the day on which it did was the 9th of Tammuz, the ancient day of mourning that commemorates the day that Israel’s hedge of protection was removed, and the approach of judgment.”
“The official portrait is distinct from the presidential portraits hung in the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, where the Obamas’ portraits premiered in 2018, with the former president painted by Kehinde Wiley and Michelle Obama painted by Amy Sherald.”
Thank you for this information, BenLurkin
This is a case for Monty Don, the British garden guru.
C’mon, Monty...get out those hedge trimmers!
What a stirring speech!
I guess that His Arrogance learned that the portrait was to be hung in the Transgender Press Corp bathroom.
They should have the ceremony in absent. Have an empty chair, to represent Obama. Better yet, and empty suit.
nobama is such a preener.
IMHO, it’s a good thing he’s not going to the White House. I heard from a reliable source that they have finally begun to get rid of the eight year stench.
“In the Weeds”
Just where Miss Prissy belongs.
