Obama removing presidential portraits from White House
Illinois Republican Assembly -- An Affiliate of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies ^ | 5-23-2009 | Illinois Republican Assembly

President Hussein and Mrs. Hussein are reportedly removing portraits of presidents past from the White House and replacing them with abstract art.

Remember, in Cambodia, when the Khumer Rouge took over, they declared it to be "year one," and removed all references to the past.

Abstract art rather than pictures of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln? Yes, those oppressors, in Obama's mind, represent the stale US past

He's the tenant. Tenants have the right to put their own things on the wall. As long as he doesn't damage the old portraits, which presumably are property of the landlord (us).

He's a typical lib narcissist. They don't recognize anything that happened prior to the glorious 1960s, when their hippie generation started remaking the country to suit their warped whims. (That is, unless a recall of something older (slavery and Jim Crow, for instance) helps their agenda. In those instances, they're all over it.) Let's hope the next tenant has a more developed appreciation for the history and heritage of the house he lives in than this one does.

Abstract art isn’t art... it is crap. Real art takes talent.

If it’s true, once ascertained, this needs to be broadcast throughout the fruited plains. People are already pissed, this will add more to the list of BS. The dictator and Socialist Congress are not a majority even though they think they’ve defeated the American people already.

It’s basically TRUE. Here is the article from the Wall Street Journal:

Remember when the taliban destroyed all of the buddist(sp?) statues in Afghanistan in the late '90s?

It would be nice if this Twitter person would include a link to his/her source. I would have been especially interested in the WSJ reference to the ACLU and Obama. But they don’t care to source items.

Remember to use tinyurl.com to shorten the addy.

But their tweets are useless without them.

Past Presidents have looked to those portraits for inspiration and guidance.

This should speak volumes about Zero's respect for our nation's past.

What a very stupid thing for the Obamas to do. It’s the Presidents house.

It's extremely stupid on any number of levels. It's not the "audacity of hope" it's the "audacity of power and ignorance."

Just proves that obozo is such a fraud & an illegal. He’s a foreigner & has absolutely no respect and no clue as to our past as nation. Deport the SOB back to Kenya.

How about demanding these pictures be put back in place or another President replace them? The WH is not Obama’s to do with as he pleases.

Going down the list, I note that the commies have to date accomplished a good number of the items listed, most recently #15.

Now before you go all half-cocked on this, remember this is from the Republican Assemblies crowd. These goofballs could have gotten this from a NewsMax article or from some talk-show host.

Take NOTHING from the Republican Assemblies Pod People at face value.

Trust, but verify.

Best,

Chris

Affirmative Action causes as much false self esteem as droopy pants or a .38 Special. What an arrogant empty suit he is.
