| bigger government = smaller citizen  |
I'm actually kindof surprised that Bill Clinton doesn't have his index finger poking out of his fly in his official portrait. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

The picture is almost as bad as the suit the artist is wearing. Looks like a fricking horse blanket. " May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am". | |||

This is what happens when you go with the lowest bidder!  " May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am". | |||

He is enshrined in what he has always been...a wallflower. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

Maybe this is a paint-by-number picture. The quality rivals a 9 year old's in that respect... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Bad dog! |
Obama could not lead and his official portrait painter-- and Michelle's-- could not paint. Again, perfect! ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

Looks like he was photographed sitting on a Squatty Potty, and then painted sitting on that chair. ------------------------------------------------------ Though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria | |||

Hopefully that's Kudzu. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

They could be stick figures, and the gushers would gush. It is really funny.... ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

It is. Those paintings are appallingly bad, no matter how you look at them. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

Here's how the NYTimes described them:
Talk about head up your own ass...  _________________________ Their system of ethics, which regards treachery and violence as virtues rather than vices, has produced a code of honour so strange and inconsistent, that it is incomprehensible to a logical mind. -Winston Churchill, writing of the Pashtun | |||

Barry's taking a shit Michelle obviously sat for her own portrait while it was being finger-painted. Fucking real classy. | |||

That was his original portrait. He had a second one done because the first wasn't "kick ass" enough (his words)...  _________________________ Their system of ethics, which regards treachery and violence as virtues rather than vices, has produced a code of honour so strange and inconsistent, that it is incomprehensible to a logical mind. -Winston Churchill, writing of the Pashtun | |||

If you listen... it sounds like only one person clapped when it was unveiled: "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

If you look at her face the instant it's revealed, you know she thinks it's crap, then instantly it's gone and she's all smiles. It's that first instant that says it all. There were lots of gasps from the audience from what I heard too, and not much applause. It looks like a half finished paint by numbers watercolor to me and not very good | |||
