I understand they contacted Chritiane Amanpour to see if she would sell this painting glorifying 9-11, but she loves it so much, she wouldn't let it go.

I will say the artist did a masterful job of upgrading her appearance.

Colt 45 knows its market. Check out its
age-control page, which features an oh-so-optimistic looking brand ambassador Snoop Dog relaxing against a cheery brick wall.

I remember as a kid using a Spirograph and making a picture like that.

Very observant of you! Very Jungian analysis, and spot on, IMHO. Both of the occupants are filled with irrational hatred and seething rage against white people ... and sadly, they are infecting their daughters with that same evil core which will consume them, too.

It is the ‘artwork’ which captures the eye and thus enters the soul of those who would sit in that room.

The painting by Iranian artist Farideh Lashai is on the wall in that photo. Christiane says it brings her “great joy”.

"The Old Family Dining Room, once a private space for first family meals, has been refurbished by Michelle Obama in her first major attempt to leave her mark on the interior of the historic house."
If she wanted to leave a mark, she should have just pissed on the wall, because that's what the redecoration looks like.

That’s closer to Bill and Hill style circa 1993.

"Is that a target at the end of the room?" hahah That is supposedly some ground breaking work by a female artist. That dedicated her life to painting after she retired in the sixties.
Jasper Johns is probably doing a facepalm at such ignorance by the reporter.
he painted this in 1955:

GHETTO yard sale chic.... Fixed it.

Is that a bull’s eye on the wall down there? Don’t like the rug. The other painting isn’t so hot either.
I guess she’s no Jackie Kennedy.

It looks like every overpaid Hyde Park Democrats interior. Seriously, you need to go on a walking tour in Chicago’s Hyde Park when they have an open house. It’s all socialist junk art meant to make them look smart and sophisticated.
