Being racist to the core, Obama selected an artist for his color rather than his ability as a colorist.

There is little doubt that the Obamas were the most stylish and sophisticated first couple since the Kennedys Balderdash!
There is little doubt that this self-so-called "art critic" is a communist; everything he says is anti-American propaganda.

You want realism? This pic more accurately depicts the individual who usurped our WH.
The Congressional Black Caucus suppressed this pic of then state Sen Obama with Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan.
Farrakhan on white people: The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the late of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years. -Louis Farrakhan

ROTFL. That crap looks more like graffiti than art to me. JMO. Should be on the side of a building, not in a presidential portrait gallery.

There is little doubt that this purveyor of faux art, this human without any judgment - let along artistic judgment, is fully in the tank for his benefactors Mr and Mrs Zero and playing his highfalutin audience for fools.

“There is little doubt that the Obamas were the most stylish and sophisticated first couple since the Kennedys and, as powerful individuals in their respective roles, the Obamas elected to each choose a different painter, thus breaking the tradition of commissioning official portraits from one - always white and always male - artist.”
I just can’t read any more.
