#1 I still say he's taking a crap, which is consistent with / emblematic of his eight years in office's effect on our country.

#2 "I feel like I’m looking at a Highlights magazine for children and I’m supposed to hunt down a cat, a pencil, and a thermos"

#3 Haven't read the article yet, and, not keeping close tabs on "modern" "art," I've only flipped quickly through a few instances of PlaidMan's "work," but who cares? I gotta throw down my sippy cup right now and scream:

1) I. Knew. It. All of it. Textbook hustle, right?

2) I LOVE this guy. I've been waffling about going visual for years, and THIS cat, of all people, has reached down like Sistine Jehovah to yank me across the line (ow, my finger!). Me and, probably, hundreds of other people. Thanks, Mr. [DDGs] Wiley.

#4 I believe it's a good thing - anything to keep reminding you (Americans) about Obama era and increasing your determination that it never should happen again.

#5 B.O. is tasteless and tawdry, over-busy, and utterly unlike any other presidential portrait. The background distracts from what should be the central focus. One of his hands (the right) is anatomically incorrect, and it looks like he sat so long for the portrait that he was being overgrown by the plant life. Yuck.

Madame Obama's portrait is merely bad. It looks more like a sketch. Her dress is better done than her features. Ptui.

#6 Birth certificate, extended family, passport, books, education, phony baloney Chicago job, senator no-show, presidency, Nobel Peace Prize, Kudzu portrait.... all in the same category.

....pre-koffee morning yawn.

#7 Lets not forget the recurrent sperm motif. This is agitation and propaganda. If he stays out of jail I expect Obama to be less coy about Marxism.

Perhaps the oversized hands are simply a message.

Ya mean 6-sticky-fingered Soetero wasn't Born in the U.S.A.? It was all a fake?

#10 I thought it looked like something Warhol would do. Certainly non-traditional. Certainly bizarre. But, hey, that's Baraq.

#11 Maybe the portrait was to have been a kind of "Where's Waldo" thingie?

#12 Not the first rendering of a famous black man that was Made in China.
