Is a painting of Obama wearing a crown of thorns a fair portrayal??

On his 100th day in office, President Obama will be “crowned” in messianic imagery at New York City’s Union Square. Artist Michael D’Antuono’s painting “The Truth” – featuring Obama with his arms outstretched and wearing a crown of thorns upon his head – will be unveiled on April 29 at the Square’s South Plaza - Is this the right portrayal or wrong portrayal ?

Answer #1

What bothers you more, Obama or the blasphemy? - neither…people that are lost.

Answer #2

But it’s so spooky…

Answer #3

I think it’s actually kind of appropriate. Obama seems to be almost a messiah character for so many people.

Answer #4

Okay, let’s take this step by step…

  1. an artist has painted a painting…
  2. Obama did not commission the work…
  3. Obama is not attending the unveiling or dedication ceremony…
  4. like most art, it is meant to encourage discussion…
Answer #5

Has Obama died for our sins yet . . . . Is he the son of God . . . .

NO

In my opninion it’s the wrong portrayal.

Answer #6

Huh? Crown of thorns?? …”The Truth”??? I’d say it’s a laughable portrayal…

p

Answer #7

That HAS to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard..

Answer #8

Who really cares. It is a peice of art. Either you like it, or you don’t. If it is meant as a parody, then I guess it is kind of funny. If it is meant to inspire adoration, then I would say it is a load of crap. But then again, it is no more whacky than any other religious iconography.

Amblessed, if this painting had protrayed John McCain as christ-like, would have bothered to ask this question? What bothers you more, Obama or the blasphemy?
