I'm anything but an art critic, but the official portraits
of no-longer-POTUS-Thank- God Barry Hussein Obama and his wife Michelle are
anything but presidential or statesmanlike.
Compare what has been mocked as "taking a dump in a
marijuana patch" painting of Barry and the water color of Meeshell Mah
Belle to the following portraits of First Families before the Obamas below.
President George W. and First Lady Laura Bush:
Bill and Hillary Clinton (fellow Democrats like the Obamas,
by the way):
Yet... THESE works are considered worthy of being the official portraits
of the Obamas? Not only that, but old Barry - race baiter that he is - had his
done by an artist named Kehinde Wiley who is (in)famous for two paintings each
depicting a black woman swinging a decapitated white woman's head! (see below).
Now can you imagine if Presidents GWB or Donald Trump had even associated
with an artist with such racist works in their past as these
two paintings, let alone appointed them to paint their official
presidential portraits? The hue and cry and rioting would be heard as far away
as the planet Jupiter and would never die down!
Now, in fairness, it must be noted that the artist for
Michelle's portrait has no such "violent painting" history.
But, how disgusting, divisive and destructive - not to
mention embarrassing for our nation - to have these two paintings hang in a
gallery and represent the 44th First Family in American history. These are more
pop-culture, Andy Warhol kinds of works, not dignified statesmenlike portraits. And are in NO WAY the caliber or portraiture that should represent a statesman like a President of the United States.
Then again...Obama was pretty worthless as a statesman AND A POTUS. So....
