President Obama Spent Shutdown Day Three Sitting for Portrait?

by Breitbart News 4 Oct 2013, 10:12 AM PDT


Photographer Tony Powell is, according to the Washington Post, a "renaissance man." He's known for his choreography, painting, composition, and graphic design along with his photography. But it's certainly odd that on October 2, two days in to the government shutdown, Powell announced that he would be holding a Thursday photo shoot with President Obama via Facebook:

 

Powell photographed Obama and Lady Gaga for Washington Life magazine in 2009.

How about this FB reply:

Andy Doyle I'm trembling in awe and joy - just peed myself - divine - I would die for Him

All are not so nice:

Matthew Woelfersheim I guess the White House isn't "Shut Down" for photographers.

Cate Richards So the priorities of the WH are still all about the emperor - our president is soooo out of touch with reality

Roman Smith So glad to see that the petty tyrant King O doesn't miss an opportunity to admire himself! What a diminutive dictator we have.

Gerry Neumann Roman is right. How anyone could take a picture of this tyrant is beyond me. Elitist pigs all.

Don't complain, his most effective body part is being put to good use for once.  Although I don't know how he breathes when he's sitting.
