    Doesn't really capture the deeply sour sponge that exists at the center of her soul.

  3. hmmm: no brown in it. just black and white and blue.

    and most of her skin is depicted as white.

    what does that signify?

    is it post-racial?

    i think not.

    it postmodern.

    the first postmodern portrait of a first lady.

    how apt.

  4. Am I the only one who expects to see the alien second mouth come snapping out of her trap?

  5. I would call that a poor representation of the subject. It attempts to hide her (lack of?) humanity, and further the 'fashion icon' image.

    The white skin, however, shows exactly what she has been trying her entire almost 47 years years to achieve--a very poor goal, IMHO.

    It looks like one of those matchbook covers that says "draw me".

  8. They missed her look of pure, unadulterated hatred for the U.S.

    "Sullen bitch" doesn't really do her justice.

  10. That looks more like Felicia Rashad, the wife on the Cosby show. She would have been a much better choice for first lady.
