Michelle Obama Unveils Portrait at the White House: ‘A Girl Like Me’ Was Not ‘Supposed to’ Be First Lady
Breitbart ^ | 09/07/2022 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Former first lady Michelle Obama indicated Wednesday that as a black woman, she was never meant to serve as first lady of the United States of America.

“A girl like me, she was never supposed to be up there next to Jaqueline Kennedy and Dolly Madison,” she said. “She was never supposed to live in this house and she definitely wasn’t supposed to serve as first lady.”

The former first lady spoke as she joined her husband, President Barack Obama, to unveil their official portraits at the White House on Wednesday.

She said she often wondered about who was responsible for creating the “supposed tos” in American life.

“Too often in this country people feel like they have to look a certain way or act a certain way to fit in,” she said.

“If the two of us can end up on the walls of the most famous address in the world, then again it is so important for every young kid who is doubting themselves to believe that they can too,” she said.

I like the very appropriate radioactive warning symbol immediately below her belt line.

And a cowbell!

It’s a color thing, but it’s not her black African skin that we find objectionable. It’s her red communist ideology. Same as her wife, Barack.

It's not quite that bad. But we don't have painters like we had in the past - or the Obamas don't have the taste to choose a really accomplished one, and the truly gifted don't get traction when everything has been so dumbed-down.

Here's Nellie Taft in a somewhat similar presentation:

Oh my gosh! She looks positively pissed off in that portrait. A perfect likeness! Well done!

The line from Ozymandias: “Tell that its sculptor well those passions read”.

I agree with Michelle. A whiny virtue signaling bitch should never be First Lady.

I think the artist captured "her" sneer quite well. But look at her left hand...

If the painting is accurate, "her" index finger is clearly shorter than "her" ring finger.

The future is in your hands

I don’t care for the lounging on the couch with a very, very low cut dress.

Very low-cut evening wear in the 18th and 19th centuries made some of ours look downright modest.
