The presidential portrait: Weird, but fitting for a narcissist-in-chief

Demonstrating once again a serious deficit of seriousness, almost alone in taking himself seriously, as most people won't any longer, Barack Hussein Obama unveiled two portraits of himself and his wife.

One cannot help but be reminded that these two works of industrial design barely adequate for a Hallmark card embarrassingly look like cartoons painted on high-grade canvas. Wholly improperly conceived as either serious art or dignified enough to be hung along the row of presidents similarly honored in the corridors of the White House, not only do we see in these mind-numbingly tasteless works a deficit in seriousness, but we see an absence of cultural depth.

I like the official portraits!


The Dear Leader is shown rampant upon a field of choom while the Bitter Half is a paint-by-numbers Malia did in the 3rd grade.

What in the name of Zeus were they thinking? They're awful!!

Michelle just needed a better background and a

President Obama's official portrait is somewhat peculiar but I think it captures the essence of the man . . .

Lots of good alternative Obama portraits. I'm really torn . . .


We need to add an entire "Obama Portrait" wing to the Smithsonian.

I thought Michelle's portrait was inspired by the television test pattern. I started playing with it to see what happens, and made another discovery, sort of like the Da Vinci code. I call it The Obamas' Code.

The Obamas: The Outer Limits.

Nobody does it better than The People's Cube.

A helpful artist has touched up the First Lady's portrait to make it more lifelike.

Antonio Salazarinski has captured the essence of the man.

But then again, so was their presidency.

Both portraits remind me of the kind of pictures where they tell you if you stare at them long enough, they'll start moving or they'll turn into some other image or reveal a hidden message.

Someone on FB posted an extreme close-up to show there's a sperm cell running down the left side of Obama's forehead, and that it's something the artist puts in all his paintings. It looks like a trickle of sweat, but it can't be. Everyone knows Obama doesn't sweat.

The story above concluded with this picture and a comment:

Obama painter Kehinde Wiley was [ ... ] notorious for a pair of paintings depicting white women beheaded by black women. Wiley being gay, it's likely that a psychologist would call this "displacement."

I don't think it was "displacement." It was Michelle's daydreaming catharsis.

The other side

A good reporting from the Gateway Pundit:

A Racist Con-Man: Obama's Portrait Artist, Who Hires Cheap Chinese Labor To Paint “His” Work, Says “Kill Whitey” Is A Major Theme

Since Obama's portrait was unveiled, I've received a flurry of text messages from outraged artist friends I made while living in New York. No, they weren't outraged because they saw Kehinde Wiley's other painting that feature black women murdering white women. They were outraged because Kehinde Wiley is a terrible artist who only rose to prominence, something they have been attempting to do their entire lives, in the art world because he is a racist gay black man. And if that weren't enough: he doesn't even paint his own work.

A common technique used, especially by Chinese labor “painters” who mass produce work, is to repeat a pattern over and over rather than use an artist's intuition to create a scene.

And...there are 6 fingers on his left hand.......

Who wore it better? MOO or Grace Jones?

I once knew an Arab Lieutenant-Colonel who had six toes on his left foot.

Must be a Mooslimical thing.

There is no way his fragile ego will be able to take the public ridicule. I expect this “portrait” to be quietly retired to a Chicago bathhouse and another one commissioned for the Smithsonian that makes him look like he was present at the signing of the Constitution.

People's artist Wiley lived in Mother Country when youth. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government ... -portrait/. Great rendering of BO and Mooch. Maybe hang in Hermitage next.

Ah, Mine Comrades. It has long time been, as I take cruise as offered by the many fractured more equal and more deserving Clinton. For this many many long time I have toiled in the education camp as I had many unofficial thoughts.
I am now better person now.
But, I find disturbing that great leader for life, the mighty majestic Barrack is in picture performing most disgraceful action. For our deep state master to show such unwanton...Ah, I know now it is not fearless leader, but artist that make great Obama imply that he commit thought crime.
We all must shame the artist for portraying the Barrack as infidel and guilty of the most horrendous crimes against wohmans.
The Trumps have made artist show our light and leader of Next Tuesday appear to...to...Oh the horror of it all...he appears to be MANSPREAD!

A stroke of genius Chairman Meow. I love the head fake to Jesus silent scream.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Komrades! Obviously this must be a secret, dog whistle call to arms! The unveiling of these grotesque obscenities portraits could be the signal to begin the Glorious overthrow of the Orange Baboon/Hitler! Stand ready!!

It's on the internet, it has to be true...

Now we know why Michelle is called Big Mike!

LET US NOT LOSE OUR HEADS OVER THIS, COMRADES. AFTER ALL THEY ARE JUST PICTURES

Bukake Obama - The Sperminator


What Wiley and his subjects do behind the scenes may be none of our business, but his paintings kiss and tell. Saint Andrew grinds his crotch against a wooden cross, and in case we don't quite get it, Wiley has painted free-floating spermatozoa across the canvas.

The same goes for the bear of a fellow in Napoleon Leading the Army Over the Alps, which could be subtitled “(Through a Light Ejaculate Mist).”

And if the painted tadpoles aren't sufficiently suggestive, several of the gilded frames contain sperm reliefs of their own. (Talk about painting outside the lines.)

Now there's Bukake Obama's portrait with a large spermatozoa on his temple. Very presidential.

As much as Snopes denies it (without actually showing the spermatozoa, but another part of the image); the Village Voice recently ran an article calling Kehinde Wiley 'pervy' and commenting on how spermatozoa was snuck into much of his work.

https://www.villagevoice.com/2015/03/11 ... ospective/

So fitting.


In case you missed the hidden sperm in the above image, just look at the frame Kehinde Wiley made.

The presence of sperm on our Dear Leader's face is easily explained by the fact that his schlong is hidden up his sleeve. He merely wiped his brow with his backward attached left hand and achieved orgasm.

Perhaps Comrade Obama saw something that we did not?
