Obama hugs Shrub43...BWAH HA HA HA HA!

[gophangover]

At the unveiling of Shrubs portrait at the White House yesterday, Obama gave Shrub a big bear hug for the photo op. It was hilarious! Shrub looked like he was going to be sick, being hugged by a black man. He had that same look when he couldn't find the door. Shrub was stupid enough to liken himself to George Washington, sheesh! Shrub is the perfect example of the stupidity of the con voters.

Probably as close as GW's come to being hugged by another woman since he met Laura.

Ahhh, a flash of class in the WH... been awhile now.

Must be the photo or the angle or something, that portrait doesn't look very good to me. And no, wisearses, it's not because of the man who's in it. :laugh:

Looks like a reflection... I'm sure it'll look great hanging on the wall... overseeing Michelle's Biggest Loser workout in the State Dining Room.

Here it is...dunno, still don't think it's that good. I have no taste in art though and no ability either!

President Obama Insults Former President Bush At His Own Portrait Hanging

Apparently, as with so many other things, some people who hold the Presidency have class and some don’t. To all appearances, former President George W. Bush is the former, and current President Barack Obama is the latter, at least if this afternoon‘s unveiling of former President Bush’s Presidential portrait is any guide.

This event – which is, at least in theory, supposed to be free of partisan sniping, got an earful of just that when President Obama gave his introductory remarks welcoming Bush (http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/article/obama-jabs-bush-portrait-hanging/573446):

President Obama on Thursday twisted the knife he‘d stuck in his predecessor’s legacy, reminding former President George W. Bush that he left the economy a mess and al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden alive when he left the White House three years ago.

“The months before I took the oath of office were a chaotic time,” Obama told a crowd of mostly former Bush administration officials and members of the Bush family, including Bush’s parents, former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush.[...]

“We knew our economy was in trouble, our fellow Americans were in pain, but we wouldn’t know until later just how breathtaking the financial crisis had been,” Obama continued, raising some eyebrows among the Bush crowd seated just a few feet away.

Obama stopped short of blaming Bush for the recession, something he has done repeatedly on the campaign trail.

Instead, Obama couched his remarks with praise of the former president, thanking Bush for going out of his way “in the middle of that crisis … to make sure that the transition to a new administration was as seamless as possible.”

Translation: “Thanks for getting out of the way and letting the smart people take over, you jerk.”

Bush, however, was the picture of grace, not saying anything remotely insulting about Obama or his wife, and instead treating them with all the deference a sitting President might expect. Indeed, the only place where Bush could have been construed to say anything insulting was when he named his own wife the best First Lady ever, with his mother Barbara Bush maybe tying her. And as to himself, he didn’t pull any punches there, using his typical self-deprecating humor.

“Madame First Lady, thank you so much for inviting our rowdy friends to my hanging,” he joked.

Look at the expression on Barack's face... was he stoned or coming down from some good blow?

[Mainecoons]

Nice to see a first lady with class in the White House again, if only for a short time.

I agree it isn't very good....especially when compared with previous presidential portraits which always seem to capture something of the man's character, especially Kennedy's - because his face is not seen.
But this is just bad painting...I don't get a sense there is a personality in there.

Drum roll......Ta Da!

Enter the trolls to toot "Because Bush doesn't have a personality."
Now you don't have to [mis]-type anything.

I doubt it and Laura better check her jewels.

[Aristophanes]

Nice to see a first lady with class in the White House again, if only for a short time.Exactly. She is the consummate lady.

[Aristophanes]

I winder if GWB still has a walletHA! Good one. :grin:

[Smartmouthwoman]

Notice Laura wears a watch. I've never seen Michelle wear a watch... guess the queen doesn't have anyplace she has to be. Gawd knows they won't start without her.

Don't forget the boob belt...;)

[Goldie Locks]

You're absolutely right...can't say that about Moochelle, who wasn't proud of her country until they were in power.

[Smartmouthwoman]

Laura Bush is so sweet. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body.

Who could not like Laura Bush? She's seen out & about in Dallas pretty often... likes to meet up with girlfriends at a neighborhood Mexican restaurant. The paper ran pics everytime she went out for awhile, but now she just kinda blends in. And I'm glad. She deserves some peace.

[Trinnity]

Boob belt.....rofl. <slaps knee>

[Smartmouthwoman]

Actually, I think the Bushs' official portraits are lovely.

I love this one too...she is so beautiful...LOL. How much work do you think she's had done to make her look presentable???

[Aristophanes]

She always looks so mean........and angry. And not just in that particular picture. It's just her aura in general.

[keymanjim]

I hope they find a nice closet to hang obama in after the Romneys take over next year.
