Joe and Jill Biden invite Barack and Michelle Obama to the White House next week so they can finally see their official portraits after Trump wouldn't host them
2022-09-01
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will host the Obamas to the White House next week for the long-delayed unveiling of their official portraits

  • If he had followed tradition, former President Donald Trump would have invited the Obamas to the White House for the ceremony during the spring of 2020

  • He did no such thing - meaning it's been more than a decade since a first-term president has invited his predessor for the event

  • Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will be at the White House next Wednesday for an East Room ceremony

#8  I created an Obama portrait today. Come to think of it, I did every day since I was born and he became Preznt. Weird.

#7  'Wouldn't host' or did the O's claim scheduling conflicts unless they got a ceremonial grovel themed photo-op from Trump? ...Yes, I feel that they are that petty.

#6  They live in town. Joe has been there for almost two years. Sounds like this sacred event was a high priority for all concerned.

#5  Are they going to keep having new portraits of Bath House painted until they get one with the correct number of fingers on each hand?

#4  Calling Bullshit.

Trump didn't seem to have a problem at all walking into staged event hit pieces.

And when he did, it was usually the gigglesofts like Trudeau who looked bad afterwards.

Source CNN... This was known before July 28, 2022, that Sept 7th would be the date for the staged show and tell.

So I have to ask the Liberal media avoided question.

How is it the WH portrait PR event wasn't done sooner under Biden, or is it being staged for the Midterms?

Could it be the Obama's both criticized Trump explicitly and in personal terms, as even CNN reported? Or C-19/22 played a role?
