This painting called “The Truth” by Michael D’Antuono is our most outrageous photo caption contest ever.
Here is an explanation from The Boston Globe website:
A painting that was removed from an art installation in New York City because of public backlash is now on display at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery, sparking outrage as well as an outpouring of support for the artist. The portrait depicts President Obama as Jesus, wearing a Crown of Thorns with his arms outstretched.
Michael D’Antuono’s painting, which is called ‘The Truth,’ is part of a larger exhibit ‘Artists on the Stump: The Road to the White House 2012.’ According to the gallery’s website, the exhibition is an opportunity for artists to ‘weigh in on the issues, candidates and country.’
“Some of our shows are meant to be thought provoking,” said Karen Norton, spokeswoman for Bunker Hill Community College. “The exhibit was intended to coincide with the presidential election, and it represents different points of view pertaining to politics and our political leaders.”
So now Tatler readers have an opportunity to weigh in with “different points of view pertaining to politics and our political leaders” and caption this painting in an appropriate manner.
My personal opinion is that the above named painter will experience a very hot climate at the end of his days.
Due to the absurd nature of this image, we are suspending normal contest rules of civility and decorum which means just go for it!
The contest winner will receive many blessings from my experienced, professional team of personal guardian angels.
“The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization”
Alternate version:
“The History of the Decline and Fall of the American Republic”

what a narcissistic asshole
Finally, Satan on a cross. Saul Alinsky would be sooooo proud of
his creation.
BORING!
Mr. D’Antuono, if you really want to stir something up, than portray Obama as Mohammed. You could have him on horseback, killing an infidel, or maybe show him going down on an unwilling underage virgin.
But the Big Won as Jesus? Come on, when was the last time anyone in the Vatican declared a death sentence on an artist?
“Behold, the sticker on the bumper of my car!”
“For Barack so Loved Himself, That He Gave us Eight Years of Time”
I Don’t Normally Allow This Kind of Criticism, But When I Do, Remaking The Country In My Image”
Who would have thought that Jesus would come back to incite class warfare and hatred. To think, I was always taught that we are all God’s children.
I guess they better change that saying to “Democrats are God’s children”. EVERYTHING has become politicized. Puke.
“The Lie”
“No question is above my pay grade now!”
His crown, our thorns.
False idol. False God. False hair color. False promises. The first affirmative action savior.
“I was just standing here trying to imagine what it was like for Jesus to be crucified, but all I can do is smirk because you know I just realized I haven’t ever even had to deal with criticism because I have been coddled all of my life. All I am is a man and people think I’m a God. This is the life. Sorry Jesus, but this is way better than being crucified”.
“This is the picture that caused riots in all the Christian countries and that caused the attack to the American Embassy in Paris where the American Ambassador was murdered.
President Obama, in his speech at the United Nations, apologized to the Christians worldwide and we have now been informed that the author of the image has been arrested for violations of the building codes of the area where he built his house.”
Winner.
+1
For the win!
Please. It’s obvious once you look at his (His?) hands:
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”
“Oh, enter in, bow down and worship me.”
– it was a talentless, syncophantic painter who came up with this.”
Jeez, who does this painter dude think Obama is, Kanye West?
“I’m standing in a tub of urine”
“All hail Ceasar!”
“Its a brave new world”
best I can do. this is frightening because it really captures how Obama portrays himself.
“Even my armpits don’t stink”
“I didn’t paint this. It took a sycophantic national main stream media to build this image of me out of a lowly community organizer/sometime law school lecturer who smoked a lot of weed during his ‘missing years’. It took a corrupt and perverse culture to produce a painter so lacking in any relevant insight into man and man’s relationship to God to be able to produce this and call it art. And it took an artistic establishment with its collective head so firmly embedded in its collective ass to accord this any prominent attention whatsoever.”
Unfortunately, this observation is too true to be funny.
CR: You are correct and thank you for making the comment. I didn’t write that from my humorous side, I wrote it in attempt to staunch the blood that is squirting from my eyeballs — this is beyond contempt, but contempt is all we got — for now.
The Great Whore of Babylon…
No, that’d be Valerie Jarrett. Or maybe Huma Abedin.
Antichrist much?
“Heh, look at all those suckers down below there.”
Damn that flypaper really works.
“****”.
Stanley Ann sure as hell weren’t no virgin.
How many people have been beheaded by Christian rioters?
Also, what does it mean to say this is “thought provoking”? What do they mean by “thought”?
1)Welcome to the off off Broadway version of South Pacific as Barry outs himself in his solo, “Happy Talk”, a favorite of his voters.
2)Not surprising that the anarchists and atheists would continue with this theme after 8 years of trying to make George Bush into Punchless Pilot.
3)The New Democratic Party, where they boo God and cheer blasphemy.
4) Blasphemes of my Father and the Atrocities of Mope.
5) He lied for our spins.
6) Funny, he doesn’t look Jewish. Can Janet Reno or Michael J. Fox perform the bris?
7) I don’t know, the son of the Virgin Stanley may need a rewrite.
8) He DID say he was going to lower the seas. Then with the global warming hoax turned water into whine.
9) And, another miracle…he took a handful of loafers and filches and turned them into a multitude.
10)God Bless America? No, God Damn America! Jeremiah Wright’s Passion Play Comes To A Town Near You.
“He lied for our spins”. Hahaha. This one gets my vote.
Forgive them for they know not what I do.
False hope + False prophet + False messiah + False god + False heaven = True hell.
This is formatted better:
False hope -> False prophet -> False messiah -> False god -> False heaven => True hell.
1) The faithful democrat asks, “Does God exist?”, and I can reply to you, “I do now.”
2) “Why yes, my feet are made of clay. But don’t worry, the media will never report it.”
3) “Behold, I am your savior! Worship me!”
4) “I don’t ask that you stand up to me, only that you bow before me.”
(with apologies to Frank Miller)
5) “Have you ever seen anyone as glorious as I? Of course you haven’t…”
6) “It is good to be the king. It is better to be god.”
7) “Who was that booming voice? What were they saying about sacrilege? What did they say…oh…look down? Wait a minute, what’s that? It looks like a lake that’s on fire….?”
The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away
Barack to himself:
“Finally, an artist captured the real me! Except I am sacrificing them for MY sins.”
Barack to Michelle:
“Hey, honey, wouldn’t this make a great Christmas card?”
Barack to WH staff:
“Take down that moldy portrait of Washington, we’re hanging this in it’s place.”
Barack to Axelrod:
“Hey, Axie, the artist is willing to paint you as a disciple. The price? Thirty pieces of silver.”
Barack to D’Antuono:
“Not bad, buddy, but can you fix it and make the crown real gold?”
Barack to the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts):
“Give that guy, D’Antuono, some grant money. You already did? Well, give him more! Gold paint is expensive.”
Barack to secretary:
“Call the Queen. Find out if she knows someone who can make me a crown.”
Let’s indulge the left. Crucify him and then we’ll see if he rises on the third day!
Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite, Barack Obama.
1) “Starting my own religion was the best con I ever came up with!”
2) “So you want proof I can do miracles? Check this out – no one has seen my college records yet!”
3) “I forgive all of those poor Mexicans, and the border agents, who died for my sins.”
4) “Hail to the Chief has now been replaced with Messiah!”
5) “Now that people don’t take the idea of an Anti-Christ seriously anymore, I have more flexibility!”
6) “Behold, I come as a thief in the night – to take your freedom of speech, your weapons, your very freedom and to steal trillions of dollars from generations yet unborn….”
7) “Muwhahahahahahaaaaa….and you thought that whole Anti-Christ thing was just a myth!”
8) “Does this crown make my ego look big?”
9) “Now to do my Father’s bidding. He will be here soon, I can already smell the sulphur!”
10) “Behold, I fed the multitudes, with platitudes.”
11) “Where’s my whore of Babylon? I wanna party and get all high and get all fluked up!”
12) “Feed a man a fish, and you have fed him a day. Put him on disability and you can get him off the U6 unemployment statistic for life!”
“Vengeance is mine” God said, and it will be. “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,” all ye atheists, but eternity is God’s domain. Some may find their place in it less than pleasant. Dante has posited a ring for some of them already.
Nothing original here. Just a repeat of man’s original sin – the arrogant belief that he can be God’s equal.
And on the third day he rose…taxes — then again on the fourth; and fifth; and sixth…
The end of days…
Evil sits upon the throne
