Favorite Smithsonian Presidential Portrait?

Post by _Doctor CamNC4Me »

I'm a little surprised no one brought this topic up. But it seems the Obamas' portraits for the Smithsonian elicited quite a bit of reaction from people:

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

That six fingered left hand is pretty cool. I guess to really fleece America it requires more than 10 digits!

Ya mean the two portraits that were recently unveiled? They're artistic representations of the Obama's. They aren't intended to be photographs.
