Regarding green background of OBAMAS portrait...
Green
The color most strongly associated with Islam is green because it has represented Islam for centuries. Many Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran feature the color green on their national flags. Some believe that green was the Prophet Muhammads favorite color, and it is mentioned in a number of verses in the Quran as the color that will be worn by the inhabitants of paradise.

Green has other properties, too, that make it a natural fit for Islam and the Middle East. Its a symbol of nature and lifeespecially potent in the dry desert. Mohammed invoked this connection when he wrote about a folkloric figure called al-Khidr, or the Green One, who symbolizes immortality.
