    We'll never 100% know who delayed the portraits being unveiled, but I'd bet anything the Obama's were as opposed as Mango Mussolini was to doing it during that period.

    Thought they were both nice, although his was slightly better than hers (IMHO)

    Saw some of the event.... miss that guy..... he commands a room (with respect) like nobody else in this country today...

    If there is any remaining sensibility in this country, we won't see T**** being painted eating fried chicken on a pile of classified documents until....... well............hopefully never...

    I guess Obama didn't like this one even though he paid $500k for it.

    It may be valued at $500K, I can't find where President Obama paid for it.

    Snotloller Barry’s doesn’t look bad but his husband looks like a cartoon character lol

    I wonder if Barry is going to wear that suit for his subpoena to testify to congress on what he knew in regards to the FBI illegally targeting the trump campaign?

    I think donors or his library paid for it. He didn’t shell out any cash.

    But the cartoon painting does make her look better than she does in real life.

    Those paintings of Obama and Michelle were not supposed to be the White House portraits. They were painted for some other purpose. I can't recall what they were for, although they are still being displayed. Obama mentioned them today.

    Not bad for Obama. Almost looks like someone took a picture rather than it being a painting. Michelle's....I'm not going to lie, looks a bit slutty. And I'm not saying that to be mean. I'd say that about any woman wearing a dress like that, with the strap loosely down around the arm. You can tell when a dress's strap is supposed to be down around the arm and when its not...and for that dress its supposed to be up on the shoulder. Other than that, doesn't look to bad.

    It was a nice ceremony, Biden was as generous and enthusiastic as always with his comments, and Obama was the guy who brought humor to the room. It was Michelle who's comments could have been interpreted as having a maybe hint of an edge. One could have read some of her focused comments on democracy and inclusivity as suggesting that someone wasn't quite prioritizing the vote and inclusivity as much as Biden and Obama administration, all with a velvet glove, and a gracious smile. I do like that lady!

    Yes, her speech was much better than Biden's was. Biden alienated half the country with his comments.

    Wow that rendition of Mooshell is a work of imagination, she is no way that attractive, no way.. Just like all things DNC, they never show their real face ;)

    I will always call out the division between loyal Americans who respect our constitution and rule of law and those who love trump more than their country and excuse his crimes.

    Michelle also skillfully "crushed" Crooked Donnie's wee g'nads in her speech, this event should have taken place under the Trump Admin. What a very little and vindictive boy Trump is...
    As for Joe, he's is responsible to protect America from threats, foreign and domestic. He must call out the neo fascists like Trump and sadly those that hang on his every word.

    I believe the term is "paid for on behalf of". Like everything else he's accumulated since he left the white house....

    Biden did the ceremony because mental case Trump didn't want to follow tradition by doing it himself.

    I wonder if Hunter Biden painted those? He's quite the artist, I hear.

    No, it shouldn't have... Yesterday was a lighthearted celebration... it would have been a typical unhappy chore under the previous administration.

    Right decision to wait... In fact, on the remote DISTANT chance a MAGA wins in 2024, Biden should have his own unveiling during the transition period (skipping the T**** unveiling altogether)

    Lol…Sisyphus had it easier than trump apologists.
    How depressing it must be to have to polish trump’s turds every day.
    And the turds just keep coming.

    Indeed. The malignant narcissist would have turned the occasion into another self serving screed.
