LOL, these people really don't understand how much they're perceived to be out of touch with normal people, do they?
Don't forget to check out that slideshow if you have a sec - speaks for itself.

OMG - the second one looks like a piece of carpeting. The rest could have been done by a child.
So they have time to choose art but no time to think about our soldiers plight?

"he went on to paint
seminal 'square' abstractions that were hugely influential on American abstraction."
Wasn't this the artwork found on the famous blue dress and in the sink off the Oral Office during klintoon's term??

Glenn Ligon’s “Black Like Me #2” from 1992 will hang in the private residence. Ligon’s work is known to explore the topics of racial and sexual identity.
Sounds perfect for Obama. He seems to be exploring his own racial and sexual identity.

In addition, the Oval Office is now home to a patent model of Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph

The Obamas are deeply superficial and dangerous people. I think of our soldiers and pray for them all.

I wonder if Obozo took these portraits of his heroes up to the living quarters?
To: Baladas
I’m surprised. I would have expected self portraits.

I laughed when I saw this. I remember it from college art classes, as the ultimate example of "will they believe THIS is art?" art.
To: Baladas
Homage to the Square. Absolutely amazing and though provoking piece of ... uh ... art.

Surely there must be a picture or two of Assata Shakur.

I adore Richard Diebenkorn but some of the contemporary stuff they chose looks like it is from the same school of taste that picks out Michelle’s wardrobe. A couple of those at the slideshow, in particular the Alma Thomas, makes my head hurt.
