Is there pic of the Clintons' portraits yet?
I just wanted to see what they look like. Is there a pic out yet? I can't find anything except press releases w/o pics.

1. Here


Former U.S. President Bill Clinton (news - web sites) (L) looks at his portrait as he stands with his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) (D-NY) after their official portraits were unveiled during a ceremony in the East Room at the White House, in Washington, June 14, 2004. The portraits, painted by artist Simmie Knox, will hang in the White House. Knox is the first African American to paint an official portrait of a president. REUTERS/Gary Hershorn

3. Thanks wndycity and Fenris
I heard Simmie Knox talking about them on NPR this morning and I was really curious.

I don't know about Bills, but Hil looks Fab!! And it's a trademark black pantsuit! LOL!

4. Those are classy
As that sort of portrait goes, they appear vibrant and stately at the same time.

5. Yes, the look so lively
like you really see them most of the time. They really are wearing those expressions.

8. Gosh, this REALLY makes me miss the Clintons...................
I was never one of the folks who thought they could do no wrong and I strongly criticized some of the things he did, but its good to see what a REAL president looks like. I wasn't savvy enough to realize it at the time, but the Clinton 90's was one of the best times in my life.

12. If they had not persecuted them (and if he could have kept his penis in
check) he would have been even greater. Too much time wasted defending themselves against the RW conspiracy...which did and still does exist.

It really bothered me that he did something THAT stupid and risked the entire country's future, not only his own future in the process.

But most outstanding people have flaws... Hopefully, his is not FATAL. We need him around.

13. Well said ...
I loved Bill and Hillary Clinton, and thought them FABULOUS ...

But Bill's indiscretions and his penchant for 'strange pooosay' reduced him to mere mortal status ...

I was deeply upset when he placed OUR trust, OUR honor, and OUR future on the line for his own petty carnal desires ...

He could have waited a few years ...

I still adore them ...

14. I don't like his
I'd think he'd want his to be smiling and reasing out. That's how I remember Clinton. This one doesn't even show a smile, and looks too stiff to me. Hillary's looks better to me.
