What are those plants in the background? Poison ivy?

He has never had any respect for the traditions of his office or the country. I don't see why we would expect him to do a traditional portrait. Everything is about him.
Bonus: Washingtn Post Headline: "The Obamas’ portraits are not what you’d expect and that’s why they’re great"
Of course.

Too bad it isn't Kudzu... perhaps it could engulf and smother him!

Looks photoshopped all to hell to me. I know that's what floating out there on the web but how shitty can you get?

It's most appropriate for a shit pile like that fraud.

I love the symbolism.
Each leaf represents the times Obama stuttered or went, "uh..."
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

It's in keeping with the portrait of Bill Clinton, both are out in left field also. Chris

My wife thinks I am full of shit when I tell her it is the portrait. She can't believe it. "it can't be true."

He looks like he should be holding knitting needles, with big balls of yarn at his feet. And a Teddy Bear.
The portrait of Michelle looks like Michelle in the way that a portrait of a generic black woman looks like just about any black woman.
I think the portraits are perfect. The Obamas as they really are. The Obamas as libs see them. No connection.

Those hands look kinda big, big enough to do the work of helping the downtrodden. Unlike the small hands of putins right hand man. The open button no neck tie says he's in touch with the common man. The "choom" background? Not symbolic of anything other than choom.
If king stampy feet wanted this for his home it'd be fine. For the white house gallery? Hopefully his last FU to America. Moochelle's was supposedly painted by a "social justice artist" Whatever the fuck that is. Might be she has a knack for bringing out the "red" in commie portraits.

Yep.
In future generations, this will be known as the time, children elected the coloring book president.

Perfect.
