UPDATE (04/28/09): Apparently this so-called “artist” has caught a clue (click here)
"The Truth" by Michael D'Antuono
This hardly needs any commentary, so I’ll just give you some info from the press release about this “art work” that’s to be installed in New York City’s Union Squared:
The 30″ x 54″ acrylic painting on canvas depicts President Obama appearing much like Jesus Christ on the Cross; atop his head, a crown of thorns. Behind him, the dark veil being lifted (or lowered) on the Presidential Seal. But is he revealing or concealing and is he being crucified or glorified?
D’Antuono insists that this piece is a mirror; reflecting the personal opinions and emotions of the viewer; that “The Truth” like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. D’Antuono expects that individual interpretations will vary as widely as they do in the political arena. The work will be seen by one viewer at a time behind a voting booth-inspired public installation.

The truth? Glorified or crucified? What’s to be interpreted when the image of President Barack Obama is clearly smiling and is in no distress. What a joke. When will the man-worship end? I am convinced this has to be some kind of practice run for the anti-Christ, whom the Holy Bible says the whole world will worship (Revelation 13).
i think that this is a horrible painting and a total abomination. God have mercy on his soul!
