4. That's lovely and very restrained for Lacey, copying that photo. Much of his other work

is strange and likely to be offensive, including other paintings of Obama that Lacey has admitted some people would consider pornographic.

Again, I DO like this particular painting. But no one should think this is typical of Lacey's work or his paintings of Obama.

7. Nice

8. Gotten a lump in my throat

Every time I see this. So, so touching.

John Lewis' face says so much.
