They just ran a graphic. It\u2019s a quote from Barack Hussein O, who said, &#8220;We are not powerless to change our gun laws.&#8221; So after the portrait unveiling, Obama has surfaced to weigh in on this. Speaking of the portrait, do you know &#8212; have you heard &#8212; that the Obama portrait was outsourced to China? This portrait, this artist outsources portions of every painting. I mean, actual brush strokes are made by outsourced painters?<\/p>\n<p>And the guy admits it! He admits it! So I\u2019m wondering who paints the sperm in this guy\u2019s pictures. But it\u2019s true. Obama\u2019s picture, his portrait, was outsourced. Kehinde Wiley outsourced it. I\u2019ve never heard of that. Is nothing real anymore? Does nobody actually do their job? Does everybody have somebody behind the scenes actually doing the work while other people are taking credit for it? It boggles my mind how often I run into this.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t keep of any other examples here, but it boggles my mind. Well, news anchors on TV. Somebody else is writing every word they say, and probably making one-twenty-fifth (if that much) of the salary they make.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The story on this Kehinde Wiley outsourcing his work to the ChiComs, specifically as it relates to the Obama portrait? It\u2019s in New York Magazine! <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2018\/02\/14\/barack-obamas-portrait-may-have-been-made-in-china\/\">And then Page Six has picked up a version of it<\/a>, but this is not (chuckles) in conservative media.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-264641 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021518-Obama-Portrait-MADw-IN-CHINA-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021518-Obama-Portrait-MADw-IN-CHINA-B.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021518-Obama-Portrait-MADw-IN-CHINA-B-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>New York Magazine reported six years ago that Kehinde Wiley &#8220;relied on outsourced labor to reduce costs.&#8221; To reduce costs! You are a commissioned artist. If Barack Hussein O wants you to paint his portrait, what reduced costs are there? Charge him what it costs and your profit markup based on your reputation! What do you mean, &#8220;reduce costs&#8221;? Charge the perp, the customer for it. Anyway, the report said that Wiley &#8220;employs anywhere from four to 10 workers, depending on the urgency, plus a studio manager.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New York Magazine\u2019s report &#8220;made it clear that Wiley allowed his employees to actually paint for him and to a substantial degree,&#8221; and Wiley doesn\u2019t deny it. He says, &#8220;I have never have told everybody every stroke is mine,&#8221; is a paraphrase that\u2019s pretty close to what he said. So&#8230; (laughs) He outsourced a portrait? I thought that the portraitist was chosen for his unique, distinct flares and touches and painting-fingerprint identity and so forth. But you telling me that you got four to 10 schlubs in there, and the strokes they paint are not identified.<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s no way they can claim, &#8220;Yeah, I painted that flower. I painted that sperm cell in the Obama portrait. I did it.&#8221; (interruption) I can\u2019t, either. I can\u2019t&#8230; Folks, if I were getting this done, there\u2019s nobody, nobody would do my strokes. I would own every one of them. I can\u2019t imagine. I\u2019m trying to think, &#8220;How do I outsource a portion of this program?&#8221; Well, I guess you could say taking calls outsources it, but it\u2019s not the same thing. I\u2019m not passing the callers off as actually me.<\/p>\n<p>So where\u2019s the outrage from anybody that Obama didn\u2019t do his due diligence and have the FBI check the background on this guy?<\/p>\n<p>Outsourced!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Actual brush strokes are made by outsourced painters?
