Foreign leaders making the pilgrimage to an audience with His Obamaness might consider bringing symbolic offerings of gold, frankincense and myrrh...

First thought:
"Guess what class, today is the day we paint our dear leader using a pea soup colour thyme to signify his commitment to turning our planted into an environmentally 'green' one, Forever!
Yes we can!"

That is one ugly depiction no matter what the subject.

The John the Baptist painting is hair much I think.

Liking the Colonel Sanders in front of the White House one though!!

But I REALLY need the Mexican flag over the White House while holding underwear in the hand thing explained..........

Best Satire I've read all year so far. He catches the moonbat mentality perfectly. I await the building of Obama’s temple.
Obama =Jimmy Carter in Robin Hood hose.

If this wasn’t a satire, just think of this article as someone who is in the final stages of drinking the Kool-Aid. When he becomes entirely insentient just put a dog collar around his neck with a leash & call him Dummy.

I think this painting is describing the sound of whooshing air as it passes through his empty skull.

All that green is not just an artistic statement, it's also prophetic. There'll be lots of green spread around to fund the nation that Barak envisions. Green that'll be weighing on the backs of the great grand children of every American parent alive today. I hope they're not too annoyed with the burden.

The USA , through THE ONE, has bent over.
Terrorists the world over will set him straight.

Never send a preppy boy to do a mans job.....

If that is the artistic talent he attracts, I dread the political talent if it is of the same calibre.

the picture with the mexican flag on the white house and underwear is just so weird, I wish I'd thought of that.

You stole my line, Dave :#/

Those thin-skinned, stuffy, sniveling Brits, whining that The Messiah didn't sufficiently acknowledge their mortal PM's pilgrimage to The Promised One.

Only their pre-Obama arrogance could lead them to have expected a decent welcoming gift, a full press conference and a dinner.

Hopefully they too will soon learn that The Most Merciful Lord Barack Obama works in mysterious ways.

So what is the difference in quality between these paintings and that ridiculous one of the Queen and Prince Philip that used to hang in rideau hall....

Obamas task is only to make America irrelevant for the next few years on the world stage so that Israel can face destruction alone.

Jim, nothing says Hope and Change like tacos and underwear.

Or maybe he's got us by the b*lls.

My fav is the obamessiah with folded hands and the 3rd eye peering out from his forehead. Metaphorically-speaking, I suppose this is his eternal vigilance watching all forms of privately-held wealth, and the resulting "fair" redistribution thereof.

His "Mr. Roarke of FANtasy Island" pose in the white linen suit in front of 1600 Pennsylvania is a hoot, too. Because if anyone represents fantasy (in a disturbing light), it's D'Ohbama.

Nothing says hope and change like Russian bombers sitting at bases in Venezuela and Cuba.

Unlike some of y'all, I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis. I was still little, but I remember pretty well because frankly, it sucked. This time around, Obama may be every bit the total narcissistic doofus that JFK was, but Putin isn't half the man Khrushchev was.

That's a really bad combination.

The one with Him in a white suit in front of the white house looks like Pacino in scarface.

Wow, those really are bad paintings of Barrack Obama.

Feel the decline.

Kind of an interesting take on how the four most dangerous totalitarian dictators in the past 100 years all used brands, then think about Obama's symbol that appears everywhere, and his image that appears everywhere. Of course then writer is bashing evil corporate brands, not feel good pretty boy politicians who just want to fix everything that was ever wrong with the world.

I like the one where he's eating the White House. Actually, I like them all.

Two fingers to the mouth - ghost of a Mona Lisa smile - penetrating eye contact - he's got a secret, he's considering... what?; he'll never tell... (but maybe you can guess? Maybe you ALREADY KNOW?)
...sorry, I'm not exactly Lileks. I'll stop. I wish this came in book form, though.

Gold, Jerry! Gold!

I dig the one with the sylised Obama in blue suit standing in a corner with red/brown walls and white ceiling. Reminds me of all kinds of bad 70s art. At least it is not attributing superhuman abilities or mystical powers to him.

The freaky one is the Obama Earth-Mother one with the globe in his forehead, a red halo, and blue veins. Even if he somehow, miraculously turns out to be the best president the United States ever has... the rest of the planet didn't elect him Gaia-saviour, thanks.

I think some of those paintings are so deep they need interpretation.

For instance the flag swirling about Owe's head symbolizes the US nation swirling down the toilet following Owe's leadership.

The "I had a dream" slogan is actually a misquote. It should read "I had a clue". Unfortunately he actually had two clues but one got lost, the other went looking for it and neither have been seen or heard from since.

Assho!e. Everyday street corner assho!e. Dress him up, give him a title, he is still nothing but your common everyday street hustler.

Was that supposed to be Colonel Sanders in front of the White House, or was that the man from Glad?

I guess with art like that depicting the Mighty One, we should respectfully be addressing him as Obama Ram Das
Is it possible that the Chosen One could in fact be a disciple of Richard Alpert(among other things,a long time buddy of Tim Leary)and his following?
Alpert...another from that fine hall of higher learning known to the plebs as Harvard.

My favourite is of him in white in front of the Whitehouse.

A cross between John Travolta and Colonel Saunders.

Who knew Obama is the Incredible Hulk.

I actually think a couple of them are nice.

The Obamessiah satire's a hoot!

It's hard to laugh where this guy's concerned, but not at all when well deserved derision is heaped upon [H]im.

And, unlike Obama's literal and leaden swipes at [H]is political enemies, this piece is clever, funny, and dissects this pretender with surgical precision. And it's TRUE too, unlike the fantasies and downright lies that spill out of Obama's mouth with such ease.

I truly think Obama's lying and dissembling are malignant. E.g., Re [H]is stem cell research bill: Not only did [H]e misrepresent the Bush initiatives, [H]e restored government funding for the use of living embryos for research.

NB: At the same time, [H]e also DISCONTINUED government funding for very promising stem cell initiatives which do not use embryos. (Bush had provided government funds for this important and successful research.) Revenge, it seems: how mean spirited and counter productive is that?

Like ET, I believe that Obama's a dangerous narcissist, with a serious Messiah complex. What's even more scary is that so many people have fallen for this fraud hook, line, and sinker. Even [H]is many gargantuan blunders seem to be overlooked. Fortunately, “the Emperor has no clothes” chorus is rising. I just hope that people, who have ears to hear, will.

Dangerous? Doofus?....You bet ya!

WASHINGTON -- President Obama paid a surprise visit to members of the White House press corps Thursday evening when he walked through their working area of the West Wing, but he quickly became agitated when he was confronted with a question by one of the journalists.

According to reports, when the Politico's Jonathan Martin asked the president about his nominee for deputy secretary of defense, William Lynn, Obama refused to answer, saying he was not there to take questions.

"I came down here to visit. I didn't come down here -- this is what happens. I can't end up visiting you guys and shaking hands if I am going to grilled every time I come down here," the president said.

Pressed further by the Politico reporter about his Pentagon nominee, Obama turned more serious, putting his hand on the reporter's shoulder and staring him in the eye.

"All right, come on," he said, with obvious irritation in his voice. "We will be having a press conference, at which time you can feel free to [ask] questions. Right now, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to you guys -- that's all I was trying to do," Politico.com reported.

The situation came to a close when a cameraman in the room interrupted, declaring: "I'd like to say it one more time: 'Mr. President.'"

The nominee in question, William Lynn, is a former lobbyist for defense contractor Raytheon, a pick Obama made in contradiction to his much-heralded anti-lobbying rules.

Obama was willing to field lighter questions, though.

Yes, he's discovered the gym in the White House residence. No, he hasn't played basketball yet on the outdoor White House court because it's been too cold.

The president's walk-through came without notice, causing a bit of a wild scene. Reporters started running toward him, wary of missing a single word. When one reporter who hadn't spotted Obama yet asked what everyone was rushing toward, another one responded: "The big guy."

Obama made it to the back of the briefing room, in a narrow hallway, where he shook hands.

"I've got to say, it's smaller than I thought," the president said as he looked around for the first time.

He introduced himself to those whom he didn't already know from the long campaign trail and said it would take a little while to learn everyone's names.

The president then continued on, walking by the media outlets' booths on the same floor.

Obama asked about the reasoning behind why certain media outlets had work space where they did. When he got an answer involving the intricacies of press corps protocol, Obama responded: "This is worse than the Middle East here -- who's sitting where and all that stuff."

As he walked through the area where journalists have lunch, Obama noticed a pair of vending machines that dispense soda and junk food.

"Looks like you have some healthy snacks, guys," Obama said.

Then he walked through the basement quarters, where several other news outlets set up shop. He said that was smaller than he expected too.

Y'know, the scary thing is that the pea-soup looking painting is really one of the better ones of a scary set. They really do look like something taken from the kindergarten fingerpainting class (especially the smurf one).

Gotta admit, I like the underwear and tacos painting, I dont understand it, so I assume it has to be great art. It really MUST be saying something profound about the new land of plenty that Obama will usher in. Or maybe that's all we're going to be left with when Obama is done with us.

Barack Hussein Obama is a "cornucopia of awesomeness"

If he were a community organizer he would be prime minister if the candajun media had any ballz

like Barack - just three words , yes we can.

So, is it the painter or the President who wants to be a member of the Blue Man Group?
