Fake portrait of Michelle Obama unveiled to stunned public

The National Portrait Gallery unveiled portraits of former President Barack Hussein Obama and his wife Michelle on Monday. It's unclear who the "artist," Amy Sherald, used as a model because it sure didn't look like the shrew who goes by the feminine monicker Michelle.

The woman in the portrait looked charming, soft and pleasant, unlike the former first lady who is often repugnant, hard and angry.

Former failed president Obama praised the Baltimore-based Sherald "for so spectacularly capturing the grace and beauty and intelligence and charm and hotness of the woman I love." 

Just another Obama lie.

For the portrait, the model was painted in "grayscale" --a charcoal color with taupe undertones. She is seated with her hair falling around her shoulders which are not as muscled as the former first lady's shoulders.

"Michelle Obama is an elegant lady and the portrait looks nice. But clearly, the artist drew someone else," Dr. Eugene Gu, a health care columnist for The Hill said.

Michelle did not show disappointment in the painting--perhaps she knows the model who sat for it in her place.

When her portrait was unveiled, Michelle said she "was a little overwhelmed, to say the least."

Then never missing an opportunity to bring race into the discussion, she added, "I'm also thinking about all the young people, particularly girls and girls of color, who in years ahead will come to this place and they will look up, and they will see an image of someone [we don't know who] who looks like them hanging . . . on the wall."

Yes, and if Michelle had a son, he would look like Travon Martin.

Sherald is the first-prize winner of the Portrait Gallery's 2016 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. She beat out 2,500 other artists, while the model only beat out Michelle Obama.

Former failed president Obama's portrait was painted by Kehinde Wiley.

It features a seven-foot portrait sitting in a field of pansies or some such flower, and includes chrysanthemums and jasmine, along with African blue lillies to symbolize Obama's Muslim father who was also from Kenya.
