George W. Bush - A Perfect Example Of "What Goes Around Comes Around"

[Initech]

Want proof? Hitler was a failed artist who became one of the most maniacal dictators of all time. George Bush was a failed wannabe dictator who now makes a living as a mediocre artist.

1. I disagree

His work does not even rise to the level of mediocre.

2. To me, those portraits resemble paint-by-numbers

exercises.

But here's an interesting article that posits that the portraits (the author calls them caricatures) unwittingly reveal quite a lot about W - likely much more than he is even capable of realizing - pathetically stunted excuse for a man that he is. http://www.salon.com/2014/04/07/portrait_of_a_failed_president_inside_the_art_of_george_w_bush/

3. The article in Salon is shallow.

The author has no idea what Bush was thinking when he was painting the portraits. The paintings speak for themselves, they are awful. I don't think they need any further interpretation.

4. "Mediocre artist" is an extremely generous characterization...
