અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...: 'Timmy, when I was young and my Mom called me 'Buster,' perhaps I was already thinking how great I would one day become.

You see, I have to make sure activist ideology and racially divisive politics can then be attached to a definition of the 'Middle-Class' and Left-liberal politics. I owe those NPR ladies a lot. We've spent a whole lot of money and made a lot of promises, Timmy.

You see, all this is then spoon-fed to the American public through careful image management, political rhetoric and frankly, a lot of bullshit, Timmy.'

'Go away, Mister'

'You're now part of the Dream machine, Timmy, like you Mom and Dad here.'

'Thank you'; 9/9/14 02:15 PM
George M. Spencer કહ્યું...: The two paintings at left?

When I noticed them, I thought, "How sad. How lonely." No majesty. No people.

Both by Hopper and added during Obama's term.

From The White House Blog: "Emblematic examples of his work, the two paintings lent by the Whitney Museum capture the strong sense of atmosphere and light as well as the empty stillness that characterize much of Hopper’s imagery."

The empty stillness.

(In fairness to Obama, other paintings in the Oval Office include portraits of Washington and Lincoln, a Childe Hassam watercolor, a Rockwell rendering of the Statue of Liberty, and a depiction of the Grand Tetons.) Interestingly, the Rockwell painting shows the Statue from the rear. Rather lonely. Aloof.; 9/9/14 02:20 PM

Hopper was undoubtedly a fine artist, but his paintings are among the most depressing works I've ever seen. I call them "landscapes for slit wrists."
