Of course, my paranoia kicks in and says "What if the repuglicans/russians decide which portraits are allowed?"
Stupid old rational brain - get with the Program!

There is a huge difference between grace and the moral and intellectual elegance of the Obamas when compared with the venal garbage class now staining the White House with their slovenly classless and oppressively boorish behavior.

(11,480 posts)I think this portrait of her was very unflattering. The dress looks like that of the southern slave era. I did not care for these portraits. I can think of much prettier ways to capture Michelle Obama.
