VIDEO: Hear Obama’s joke after unveiling White House portraits

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama headed to the White House Wednesday for the unveiling of the couple’s official portraits.

It marked the first time in 10 years since a sitting president has invited former leadership back for a revealing of the portraits — a tradition that stalled when an unveiling did not take place during the Trump years.

Tapped for the assignment of a lifetime were artists Robert McCurdy, for the president, and Sharon Sprung, for the first lady.

“These portraits have a special significance, Obama said, adding that “it was important to find the right people to paint them.”

Obama made a joke during the unveiling of his and former first lady Michelle Obama’s official White House portraits.
