This is bad art - and not just because of all the Jackasses in the painting.

The composition is terrible, the perspective and scale are skewed, and the lighting is wrong. The primitives love it.

You know, that's an insult to Andrew Jackson, including him with those clowns.

If any recent presidents resembled Old Hickory, it was the second George Bush, the man with the common touch, the president who defied the eastern establishment, &c., &c., &c.

And Hell, George Bush could even cut his own firewood, among many lesser things.

In all honesty, most of the other Democrat presidents in that awful picture would be expecting 0bama to be serving the rest of them drinks.

Exactly. And the only reason the DemonRat presidents are laughing is because Obama thinks he is one of them.

I'm not sure that Kennedy, Jackson, and Truman could even be a member of today's democrat party.

Problems with the painting :

1) Look at the light over the pool table - the more you stare at it, the less sense it makes. Now it is possible that the light will 'flatten' like that, but the rest of the painting should be from light level looking down, it isn't. Seems the focus point is Clinton's left nipple, which is probably exactly how Clinton would paint it.

2) The left side of JFK's face is getting illuminated by a nonexistent source.

3) The door on the right side. Unless the corner of the room is an angle based on the fibonacci sequence, instead of the usual 90 degrees, it makes no sense.

4) George Washington portrait - though it is true that famous portrait has Washington seated far down in the composition, its not that far down.

5) The 9-ball is larger than the 2-ball. But not as large as the cue. The three is the size of a tomato, and could eat the one ball for lunch.

6) Jackson was 6 ft 1 in tall, JFK 6ft. Seems Kennedy is wearing lifts today... As is Wilson, who at 5ft 11in is as tall as Kennedy even though he is on the other side of the table.

7) Look at the bottoms of both of the paintings on the wall behind Bubba. Seems this artist missed the lecture on lines of perspective.

8) The pool table is well done, but i cant help to wonder what the light source is under the right side - maybe JFK has a camera phone and is taking a picture of Wilson's stiletto heels ? Eat your heart out J. Edgar Hoover....

Indeed.
This is the man whose glowing response to the film 'Birth of a Nation' (His exact words were, "It was like writing history with lightning. My only regret it that it is so terribly true.") is considered to have been one of the major factors contributing to the second rise of the KKK around that time. No way he'd be all chummy with Obama like he is in the painting.

I wouldn't go that far, although personally courageous and quite a friend of the common man, he also had no respect whatsoever for the Constitution if it got in his way. In that sense, he'd fit right in.

Yeah, no kidding. Ain't no way Wilson would ever let him in that pool room.

You're right Miskie, the perspective is so bad, so wrong, especially on the side with the George Washington portrait and the door.

Um, that would be Woodrow Wilson, who was a racist:

Quote

WILSON'S RACISM

Wilson and Segregation

A southern-born president, Woodrow Wilson's legacy has been dogged by his outright racism. In his writings, Wilson eulogized the antebellum South and lamented the period of reconstruction that followed the Civil War. To quote Wilson himself on this subject, "self-preservation [forced whites] to rid themselves, by fair means or foul, of the intolerable burden of governments sustained by the votes of ignorant negroes."[17] Wilson excused the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in similar terms, calling it understandable in view of the "lawless" situation that victimized whites in the South after 1865.[18] Wilson carried his racism into the public arena, both as president of Princeton University and as Governor of New Jersey. While the former, Wilson discouraged black from applying to his university, and as governor, Wilson refused to confirm the hiring of blacks in his administration.[19]

Being a consummate politician, Wilson was not above lying about race when he felt it was necessary. For example, during the presidential campaign of 1912, Wilson thought it necessary to make a statement on the so-called "negro question". In late October 1912, Wilson wrote Bishop Alexander Walters of the African Methodist Church to decline Walters' invitation to address a mass meeting of the Church at Carnegie Hall on October 26. In the letter, Wilson wrote, "I want to assure them (i.e. Black Americans) through you that should I become President of the United States they may count on me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interests of their race."[20]

Re-segregating the Federal Government

Once in office, however, Wilson appointed a number of southern Democrats to his Cabinet. These men proceeded to push for the segregation of black and white employees in their departments. Wilson did not oppose this practice. To quote Judson MacLaury, an historian for the U.S. Department of Labor,

"At a Cabinet meeting early in the Administration, Southern members expressed disingenuous concern over alleged friction between Negro and white government employees. Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson, a Texan, proposed segregating the races to eliminate the supposed problem. Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo supported him. ... The rest of the Cabinet, along with the President, while not explicitly endorsing segregation, did not oppose it."[21]

Upholding a policy of re-segregating the federal government, which had been gradually de-segregating since the end of the Civil War was entirely consistent with a president who claimed repeatedly that "Segregation is not humiliating but a benefit" and "distinctly to the advantage of the colored people themselves."[22]

See this and then shut the ****ing **** up, you ****ing ****head liberals.

See, I don't understand how this Wilsonian racist bullshit didn't ruin the demokrat party forever. For some moonbat to stand up and proudly gush "I'm a Wilsonian Progressive!!!" You'd think you'd hide in shame, or never admit to such a thing. People are stupid.
