the first portrait created since he was elected. The portrait will join 44 other presidential portraits as part of C-SPAN's
American Presidents: Life Portraits exhibit which has been touring the United States since 1999.

Very blah and not distinct. Very pedestrian.

So on edit: I was under the impression that this was the one going in the Portrait Gallery, and I was incorrect. It's part of C-Span's exhibit that tours the nation.

Still looks pedestrian.

And as far as the Presidential Wing of the Portrait Gallery goes, I think after Obama's portrait goes up, that'll be it for me. If America no longer takes this position seriously, why should I?
