This Is Michelle Obama’s New Official White House Portrait

Feb. 20, 2013 3:00pm Erica Ritz

The White House unveiled the official portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama Wednesday for her husband’s second term, and in the words of the New York Daily News, it seems “the bangs are now official.”

Though she earlier joked that she got the new hairstyle as a “mid-life crisis,” now all of posterity will remember Michelle Obama with bangs.

Here’s the photo:

The Atlantic notes that, in a change from the official photo of her husband’s first term, Michelle Obama’s famous arms have been covered.

Here’s her her first official photo:

a portrait can be painted to do away with whatever wrinkles are on your face etc… this portrait obviously has been touched up to help out flotus to try to appear nicer looking. Sarah Palins natural beauty would have been so much nicer to look at!

Likes some of you guys I’m stick and tried of the media treating her like a movie star. She does not act like a first lady but like a Hollywood star and she is way from that. I don’t really care what she wears, her arms or anything else. She does not have any class but she is classless!!

Giant ape hands… At least she is covering the giant sloped forehead. Wonder is Barry still makes her/him tuck it or if he likes it to hang?

Ah, sitting on the color of money, with more color of money as a backdrop! Money, money, money! So many people, so little money! Surely, those who have more cannot mind The Great Obaminator leveling the playing field AFTER THE GAME to make the score MORE FAIR! Ah, cometh the tax man! Ah, cometh the Obamacare man! Ah, rile the races, stir it up for fairness! Ah! Ah! Ah!

I like the first photo better.

When ever you hear the word “sensitivity training” they mean, lets attack someone’s civil rights, and disguise it with progressive distortions of the english language? Let’s attack the rights of Americans to assemble public opinion, even if it means we don’t agree with others, and distort that attack on civil rights by inventing the word “discrimination” or “affirmative action”?

Americans don’t have a mid life crisis, they forgot who they are?

I see arrogance, hatred, racism, bigotry, contempt, and treason. I see a conspirator.

  Hm, seems that “beauty (or the lack of it) truly IS in the eyes of the beholder.”

She does look a lot better with bangs. Rosegrower mentioned “her first ****-ugly inauguration gown.” Do you know that is the first time I remember hearing someone else say exactly the same thing I felt about that ugly, white, no-support, droopy, unattractive fabric dress? I finally gave up when everywhere I looked in the media they were all falling all over each other talking about the “style” and the “gorgeous gown” she wore. And I thought, “Am I blind or something? It’s ugly!” So glad I read that comment today. I feel so vindicated!!!!!

Wouldn’t it have been better if they just cropped her picture from the movie, “Gone with the Wind”?

I, personally fail to see an improvement in the “beard.” For two people who wanted to be in the WH, I wish both of them would stay there and focus on something besides themselves and live on a budget like I do.

She got a new wig. Take the wig off and she looks like Nelson Mandela.
