Obama Portrait Artist Likes to Paint African-American Women Holding Heads of Decapitated White Women

Looks to me like the Obamas are still trying to send a message to America and to Americans.  What do you suppose the message is... considering some of the art of the artist they chose...?

The shape of the dress, rising pyramidally upward, mountain-like, feels as if it were the real subject of the portrait.
The painter was just trying to cover her massive hips.

Well, now I know -- next time I visit the Smithsonian, I will avoid the portrait gallery. 

A few years ago, the Smithsonian had an exhibit of gowns worn by First Lades.  There were some lovely gowns worn by Laura and Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan, Jacqueline Kennedy and so on.  Then there was a gown worn by Michelle Obama.  Ugliest looking sack I ever saw.  (Hurl)

The one of her looks like charcoal done by a child.  The one of him looks like a paint-by-number, done by another child.

Looks like they decided not to go for a likeness of Michelle in any way.  Odd choice.

As bad as the Cristiano Renaldo statue!

Smithsonian to Unveil Portraits of Barack and Michelle Obama
 By Ted Johnson
Variety   Not just an artist known for large, colorful portraits of African American subjects (apparently incapable of painting anyone else), but a celebrated hip hop portraitist!

This is what he did with Michael Jackson:

Where are these going to hang?

Obama looks like he is sitting on a bush...and that doesn't even look like Michelle....

The way his knees are higher than his hips he looks like he's dropping a deuce.

Symbolically apropos.

The sad part in choosing these is, while he was President, he had many great paintings done (as is tradition) and great artists to choose from that would be befitting the office. An example:
