2,300 Obama portraits go on display at Detroit museum

The seriousness of Pruitt's latest project is clear from the moment you walk into the main MOCAD gallery. The paintings run floor to ceiling in an overwhelming, 360-degree sensory rush that drowns a viewer in what at first seems like a single abstract painting. As the eyes focus, however, the individual images, many vaguely familiar as if recalled from a dream, become clear. There Obama is meeting Pope Francis. There he is signing a bill. There he is dancing with the first lady, boarding Air Force One, giving a speech, playing basketball.

    Title of exhibit is; The Obama Paintings and the Lincoln Monument. Since it’s The Lincoln Memorial, I’m guessing he’s saying that Obama’s election is the Lincoln Monument. Wonder how many of the images were from official WH photos that press was barred from pics. I think we’ve found the decorator for the Obama library.

    No matter how many paintings or photos or whatever they are, BO is still a jackass.

    Me thinks that the great one (Obama) now has more pictures/portraits of himself than all of the other despots, Mao, Stalin, etc throughout history. Is he the culmination of them all with his world sized ego? I cannot comprehend how he has befuddled and fooled so many people into believing all of his B.S. I guess he is the star pupil of the lord of darkness and king of liars. 🙁
