Looks like he’s taking a dump. Which is what he did to America, so it’s fitting.
Nah doesn’t have his iPhone with him. Can’t take a poo without the cell phone.
Her's is just as bad.
The painting was done by Baltimore artist Amy Sherald, who is known for her social justice painting style.
But what do ya want from a Walmart photo booth in Baltimore.
Evidently the first attempt at painting them together was rejected.

I think maybe hiring better artists would have helped. President Obama's picture isn't so bad, but the background and stuff is kind of .......odd I guess. Michelle Obama's doesn't look a damn thing like her. I guess even the people that love Michelle Obama don't want Michelle Obama to look like Michelle Obama.

I never realized Michelle had such a long left arm.
And they forgot to add her man-bulge in the front
I wonder how this "artist" would paint the current president? I don't think he would portray him sitting on a chair among flowers and poison ivy looking like thinking man's president.
Well to be honest both of her arms are very long. My daughter noticed in a people mag article back in 2010 or so.
I saw an article somewhere wondering if he has 6 fingers on his left hand. It does look weird.

Obama Portrait Artist Kehinde Wiley Once Painted Black Women Decapitating White Women
Fans of the Obama portrait will recognize Wiley’s distinct colors and prominent use of flora and fauna backgrounds

Judith beheading Holofernes
With his rendering of President Barack Obama, Kehinde Wiley became the first African American to ever paint an official presidential portrait, but the new-found fame has also drawn attention to some of the artist’s more boundary-pushing past works.
Two paintings from 2012, depicting the Biblical story of Judith beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes, began making the rounds online on Monday. In Wiley’s rendering, Judith is depicted as a black woman and Holofernes as a white woman.
Fans of the Obama portrait will recognize Wiley’s photo-realistic human figures, distinct colors and prominent use of floral backgrounds.

Seems to me the artists were selected more because the color of their skin than their ability.
Kind of defines Obama's presidency and policies in my opinion. Diversity for diversity sake and not ability. I think the painting of Michelle is downright horrific. Looks like freshman artwork in my opinion. If there aren't 50,000 people in this country that can paint like that I'm not deljzc.

How appropriate for him to be sitting in poison ivy. To be honest though, at first glance I thought it was mary jew awna

Don't be fooled, Barrack Hussien Obama was an angry man when the reporters and camera left the room. I actually think the portrait is accurate.
Sad day when a so called "Presidential artist" can't even get the proportion and anatomy quality of a tattoo artist.
Never get past them ink master judges, that's for shur....LOL
#2's arms look like the painting.

My completely non-partisan take is that Bomma's isn't too bad except that he's in a patch of poison ivy but Mooseshell's doesn't look anything like her.
