These pictures painted by the same painter aren't very good either. Portraits of Black women holding the severed heads of white women.

Only a bigoted hate filled a-hole could pick such a painter for his portrait.

That is exactly what I said to hub, and it looks like it is growing up his legs. I just can’t imagine that the Obamas are happy with these portraits. Or, maybe, they are. :shrug:
Edit: Now that I think more about it, the Obamas did want to fundamentally change America. That prob explains the portraits, and the artists who painted them.

Which sums up his legacy. His portrait does seem appropriate in that respect, and to think it might not have been intentional.
The more I think about this, the Obamas would have to approve of these portraits, right? If so, what were they thinking?

Now they are a joke for all see in perpetuity as a reflection of the black race small mindedness, shallowness. In addition to soiling the office of the Presidency by not having the forethought to appearing presidential or as a thoughtful leader. Which of course he, and she, was neither anyway. At least for our lifetimes, and that of future generations, there will be something to laugh at, and to be used as a warning to NOT repeat history. Maybe next year these can be moved to the National Museum of American History?

They're a bit strange.
But at least Barack's picture LOOKS like him - if you saw the painting without references, you'd know it was him.
When I first saw the Michelle painting, I had no idea who it was, even though after eight years, I can spot
her face in a cold second. I do kind of think that a good painting should at least accomplish THAT - it
should LOOK like the subject.

You live in your own world.
Yea, honey, the real world where most of us are a bit more media savvy than your lot.

The official presidential portrait for Obama was taken with a digital camera.
Michelle's portrait doesn't do her justice. I hope she likes it because this is the portrait that will represent her through the ages.
