This is a awesome painting by Andy Thomas. Democrat Presidents playing pool is titled “Callin’ the Red.” Just imagine what President Obama, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, President Kennedy, Harry S. Truman, President Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Andrew Jackson are talking about. (Probably Romney’s gaffes, as well as Romney’s complete incompetence for holding the office of Commander in Chief.) Yes, Andy Thomas also has one for the Republican presidents… but I won’t go there. It is on his website if you want to check it out.
Now, there is one item in this painting that has me puzzled. Look at the painting on the wall right behind Obama’s head. It is of these guys, but slightly different positions and arrangement. I wonder what the significance is. And why do JFK and Clinton have identical blue shirts on? I just may have to email the artist and ask him. There may be some meaning behind these two items, or he may have simply done so as an inside joke – getting a kick knowing people like me are scratching my head and going ape-shit trying to figure out the wall painting and two matching shirts….
