@Wingnut with God as my witness and on my father's grave and mother's eyes, I swear that was what I was thinking right after I hit "Post", but was just too darn lazy to go back and hit "Edit."
Thank you for correcting that for me.

What in Godâ€™s Name is This?
Posted on February 13, 2018, 9:16 am by Keith Koffler

For decades, Americans are going to trek to the National Portrait Gallery and have to look at this. Iâ€™d say centuries, but if this is how we portray our leaders, we definitely wonâ€™t last that long.

Letâ€™s start with the composition. You have cartoonish-looking man in a chair. The man and his chair seem to have been pasted into a painting of a garden. The juxtaposition isnâ€™t jarring or thought-provoking. Itâ€™s just peculiar. The president looks peculiar.

Now, he does look resolute. As if he intends to remove not just a few weeds from the garden, but every last one of them. Once, he smoked a lot of weed. Now he removes a lot of weed. See those pinkish-red buds behind him? They are going to bloom, dammit!

But I guess this is the perfect metaphor for a society that, at least among its elite, is trying to erase all traces of masculinity from the culture. ... Rest of article at White House Dossier.

A Racist Con-Man: Obamaâ€™s Portrait Artist, Who Hires Cheap Chinese Labor To Paint â€œHisâ€ Work, Says â€œKill Whiteyâ€ Is A Major Theme
February 13, 2018 by Lucian Wintrich

Since Obamaâ€™s portrait was unveiled, Iâ€™ve received a flurry of text messages from outraged artist friends I made while living in New York. No, they werenâ€™t outraged because they saw Kehinde Wileyâ€™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 werent enough: he doesnâ€™t even paint his own work. ...

Rest of story at Gateway Pundit

A racist gay black man? No wonder Obama chose him.

Barack Obama's presidential portrait wasn't quite what I was expecting...

A common technique used, especially by Chinese labor â€œpaintersâ€ who mass produce work, is to repeat a pattern over and over rather than use an artistâ€™s intuition to create a scene.

It makes them paint fast as lightning.

Was Mooch painted with a pearl necklace?

Oh and at the end of that article there is examples of how the artist has repeated patterns in the hedge. Apparently he hires cheap Chinese artists to do the grunt work that Americans wont do.

No, and I can't believe they are passing this crap along. Hannity posted this earlier too but then pulled it. What the artist painted was an actual vein in Obama's head (you can see it clearly here) but people with their minds deep, deep in the gutter see sperm in everything.

The painting is bad enough without having to make stuff up about it.

it is also just another imaginary rabbit hole. When I saw this early today on Facebook, it was being passed around by one of those obvious troll pages that like to play games with the Right.

If you read more than the title, you will see this "artist" adds sperm to many paintings, often hidden in the background. And he added a "head" to the vein on the president that doesn't exist in real life.

@What in God's Name @ mountaineer

It doesn't even look like him. Nor does the painting of Mooch look like Mooch.

That's ok,though. The alleged "artist" is a black trannie/homo/multiple choice,kinda like them,so that's all that's important.
