RSSMore Obama Art … Art Imitating, Um, Art … Or is it Plagiarizing Art? (Watusi – L’Escargot)
Obama’s choice in art seems to snail, sorry pale in comparison to the real deal.
Who knew that “Watusi” actually translated to “L’Escargot?” This White House certainly has an eye for detail. Oops, Mr. President … that looks an awful lot like a snail.
“Watusi (Hard Edge),” by Alma Thomas
Art? Looks like the collage I made in the 3rd grade.
What’s up with the Obama art collection in the White House? First we have the “art of Maybe,” now we have the art of plagiarism.
From Michelle Malkin via the Free Republic comes this little artistic remake gem.
Today, a Free Republic poster notices another of the Obamas’ curious art choices: “Watusi (Hard Edge),” by Alma Thomas, who is described by the NYTimes as “a longtime Washington resident who is an African-American painter.”
L’Escargot, left, Watusi, right
The Gateway Pundit confirms that there is a fraud in The White House. But we already knew that didn’t we? What a metaphor.
This is cool, Brian Ledbetter at Snapped Shots has an animation overlay of the two pieces of art. Glad to see someone has an eye for detail.

Can Obama Get Anything Right? While Presenting the Medal of Freedom The One Messes Up Billie Jean King’s Tennis Stats
Can this President get any thing correct?
It appears not. One day after President Barack Obama made the incorrect and false statement that the AARP supported his socialized Obamacare single payer health care plan in New Hampshire, the Obamamessiah managed mess up the career stats of Tennis great Billie Jean King as she was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Before presenting tennis legend Billie Jean King with the Medal of Freedom Wednesday, President Obama ticked off some …
… of her accomplishments: 12 Grand Slam titles, 101 doubles titles, 67 singles titles.
“Pretty good, Billie Jean,” he quipped.
But he didn’t get any of it right, according to King herself.
“They didn’t get any of my facts right,” King lightheartedly noted afterward. “Did you see all the – how many titles I won? I was cracking up.”
“Not even in the ballpark,” she continued.
This screw up on the part of the President and his handlers is a metaphor for his Presidency. A lack of detail and preparation. How does one mess up Billie Jean King’s tennis stats? Come on. Obama just makes it up as he goes along and no one calls him on it. No one until Obamacare. How difficult is it really to fact check some one’s career tennis statistics. This is the person you want in charge of your health care when they cannot even get some thing as simple as tennis wins correct?
Obama’s Teleprompter Metaphor … Teleprompters came crashing down to the floor & crashing in Many Pieces
Omen? A sign of things to come? With Obama’s continued eroding approval rating and his continued want to bankrupt America with high taxes, universal healthcare and cap & trade, it’s not only Obama’s teleprompter that will be crashing into many pieces.
TOTUS … RIP
Talk about your metaphors … even TOTUS, the teleprompter of the United States, can’t take what is sprawled across it’s monitor these days and crashed to the ground much like Obama’s approval ratings have lately.
Midway through his speech on urban and metropolitan policy in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building this afternoon, one of his two small glass prompters came crashing down, hitting the wood floor and crashing in many pieces. It made quite a ruckus.
“Oh, goodness,” a startled President Obama said. “Sorry about that, guys.”

Room With a View Fallout … “I would have boxed their ears” Says Teens Mom of Obama & Sarkozy
And now the fallout from the family of the 17 year old Brazilian beauty and the “butt shot” seen round the world.
According to the NY Post, the mad-as-hell mama of the 17-year-old Brazilian beauty would have boxed their ears if she was present.
“If I were there, I would have boxed their ears,” said Lucia Rodrigues, 37. “They should be ashamed of themselves.”
Patriarch Eduardo Tavares, after finally getting around to seeing the famous photo of his daughter from behind, quickly changed his tune from proud papa to furious father.
“My daughter is not a model and she is not a sex symbol,” he told The Post. “That photograph has ruined my whole family.”
Some great comments at The Gateway Pundit. This might be one of the best:
“I did not have ogle with that teenager . . . “
Caption Contest … Barack Obama Style … Who Says The One Does not Provide Comedy Material?
OBAMA CAPTION CONTEST
Who says that this President does not provide comedic material … what do you call the pic below?
Stimulus You Can Believe In …
President Barack Obama seems to have had a “Bill Clinton” moment as he stares at a 16 year olds assets during a G-8 with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The beauty who prompted the president to channel his inner Bill Clinton was identified as Rio de Janeiro resident Mayara Tavares. The girl from Ipanema had been selected to attend a meeting of young people held in conjunction with the summit.
From the NY Post … TAIL TO THE CHIEF and BABY GOT BARACK!
I wonder what Michelle Obama will have to say to Barack behind closed doors?
Let’s see your captions … have at it..
UPDATE I: Leave it up to the Obama water carrying Newsweek to make excuses for the Obamamessiah being human. Because to those at Newsweek, Obama could do nothing of the sort. Who knew that Newsweek knows what Obama thinks and does. Watch the VIDEO for yourself. Sorry I still do not see what they are looking at or making excuses for.
Macsmind has a different point of view than the apologetic media …
The only problem is that the girl in the floral gown was a good six feet back before Obama offers his hand. But those eyes were fixed squarely on the butt of that 16 year old. He’s not “innocent” by a long shot.
From Politics Daily: Ogling is in the Eye of the Beholder
However, what is most telling is the quick excuses that the MSM came up with to brush this snap shot in time away. Maybe they will do the same thing the next time a Republican finds them self in a similar situation? Or maybe the MSM won’t go out of their way to take a visually fake compromising photo? Nah, I doubt it.
UPDATE II: Looks like out buds at The Jawa Report are having a caption contest as well. Be forewarned, they will be really racy, but humorous.
