    Exclusive: Pres. Barack Obama’s official portraitist, Kehinde Wiley, tells me that the Obamas “are signalling to the rest of the world that it is okay to occupy skin that happens to look like this.”http://snpy.tv/2speYat

        I am so grateful to have raised my children under President Obama's tenure in the White House. I miss him so deeply. It's depressing how far we've fallen as a country, but I'm grateful we were able to have this great man as our @POTUS44. #ComeBackBarack #ObamaPortraits

        Kehinde Wiley said it right there: @BarackObama @MichelleObama are the definition of true leaders & what leadership looks like and be expected to act like especially in these times.

        Michelle Obama's portrait is one of the most challenging portraits I have seen. The blue background, the muted tones are the perfect foil for her radiating regal presence and affirmation of black power and confidence in it.

        The Obamas' choose that not all deserve life. They support abortion. This did not disclude Third-Trimester Abortion. When did your mother first start loving you? Only after you were born? No when she knew of you. Or she hated you.

        ....the incontrovertible message from Obama's choice of portraitist is that's o.k. to be sectarian and a racict as long as you an African-American
