The Obama's Presidential Portraits

[Sylvain]

Some people obsess over such things.

Since the invention of photography our presidents don't get their official portrait painted anymore.They just have an official picture.

It made sense in the 1800's.

Some people obsess over such things.

And some obsess over other things.

still hungry?

 

[Vigilant]

Yes, I think obama has hidden some sperm over the years.

Not for long though, bean burritos tend to clear it out!

If he'd leave out the distraction of the people, he might be a pretty good wallpaper designer

IKR? I'm wondering if that background IS wallpaper. It looks like a pattern of the same flowers repeated. If you look closely, they seem identical.

Interesting.
I didn't know it was even still a thing.

Are we talking about paintings or the Mueller trump-Russia thing?

I'm sure he has no problem with that...he had the MLK (Mao) statue made there. Sending money to commies, dictators and muslim theocrats is what he's all about.

I get the Russian obsession.....I just put it in the same category as 9/11 Conspiracy theories and the Birther Movement...I loved when Trump came out and said he was wrong about the whole birther thing...Brilliant....

Huh? A statue of MLK, which looks like Mao, was commissioned by Obama while president?

A King Statue 'Made in China'?
A King Statue 'Made in China'?

Atlanta resident Lea Winfrey Young says the "outsourcing" by U.S. companies and organizations to China has gone too far this time. She and her husband, Gilbert Young, a painter, are leading a group of critics who argue that an African American -- or any American -- should have been picked for such an important project.

A former adviser for the memorial has accused the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation Inc. of promoting Lei to head artist in the hopes of getting a $25 million donation from the Chinese government to make up for a shortfall in funding. In a 13-page critique, Ed Dwight, a sculptor who has created seven King memorials, called Lei's proposed statue a "shrinking, shriveled inadequate personage."

Our Team Of Experts - The Memorial Foundation
Leadership

Harry E. Johnson, Sr. is the President and CEO of the Friends of the Memorial Foundation, Inc. Prior to this role he led the Washington, D.C. Martin Luther King Memorial Foundation as President and CEO since 2002. The President of the United States and the U.S. Congress charged the MLK Foundation with erecting a memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Under Johnson’s leadership, the MLK Memorial Foundation has raised $120 million to complete the memorial; positioned three boards (Executive Leadership Cabinet, Governing Board and Honorary Board) for the foundation; and garnered support from all living U.S. Presidents, Congress, members of the corporate and nonprofit communities, and celebrities. The memorial dedication was held on October 16, 2011, with the President, Vice President, members of the cabinet, congressional members and others in attendance.

Lol, yeah but that's a painting. Thor said something about a MLK (Mao-type) statue. Surely he's not talking about the one in DC which was commissioned, artist picked, and location chosen before Obama took office? Did Senator Obama have THAT much power? Whoa.

It's good to criticize China texting on a Chinese-built cell phone. Insanity is free.
