Barack Obama also doesn’t want to see a pantyless Britney Spears
May 11, 2007 by Staff
MAY 11–When Barack Obama arrived this week for a campaign fundraiser at a Virginia art gallery, one large painting was covered by a curtain and another had been removed entirely before the Democrat’s arrival. Obama’s staff apparently was concerned that the paintings–both by artist Jamie Boling–would somehow embarrass the Illinois senator, who spoke Tuesday night to a crowd of 500 supporters at Richmond’s Plant Zero gallery.
One of the paintings, a 6′ x 10′ work titled “Snake Charmer,” is a reproduction of the famous paparazzi photo showing Britney Spears, sans underwear, stepping out of an automobile driven by Paris Hilton.
The 33-year-old Boling’s oil painting can be seen below. The second work, “Honest Abe,” shows a woman wearing a t-shirt with the words “Kill Lincoln.
” Fans of “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” will recall characters from the 1982 movie wearing a t-shirt with the same slogan (though it referred to a rival high school, not the 16th president).
