Barneys Window -- Anti-McCain?

There's one store potential First Lady Cindy McCain may want to think twice about before dropping any of her beer heir millions ... Barneys New York.
Obama and McCain
The high-end NYC department store's windows currently feature paintings of all the First Ladies of yore and include portraits of both Michelle Obama and Mrs. McCain. While all the works by artist Laurie Munn were made to the women's general likeness, Cindy's looks uniquely ghoulish.

So the question -- by putting the pics up, has Barneys not-so-subtly endorsed Barack Obama? We contacted the store -- a little defensive.

A rep said the the pics are an artist's interpretation. We pressed and mentioned it was Barneys decision to plaster the pics in its windows. The rep told us to go talk to the artist, adding, "We do not take any political stance."

91. Obama is a true socialist just google "new society" and look for the newsletter they put out. Also google the Consortium on Chicago School Research/Chicago Annenberg Challenge and see where he and Ayers worked together.

Dare TMZ to post this. Liberal media is not telling you the truth. Do the research yourself people

94. Do you think that there will be some sort of retribution for your actions toward us? Makes sense, if I'd enslaved an entire race and then continued to keep them down for hundreds of years and lived to see a man of said race run MY country, I'd be petrified too!

HAHAHAHAHA!

You are correct in that OBAMA scares me but not at all because of his race - because of his anti-American beliefs, his many associations with bigots, terrorists & crooks & most of all because of his socialist beliefs.

& BTW - I never owned any slaves or empowered any white slave owners. I am pretty certain that era is long gone so why do so many black people want to blame their CURRENT problems or their own personal failures on slavery???? Were you or are you currently a slave??? NO!

Many races & people have been considered lowerclass & used as slave labor in many different societies & lands -there were numerous WHITE slaves - called sharecroppers who worked others property, lived in their "owners/masters" shacks, were beaten & made to work for nothing, were not allowed to own any property & were not allowed to vote. & many Chinese were brought to America as slaves to work in the mines & the railroads for nothing except enough food to provide just enough nourishment to continue work. They were also held & sold as prostitutes, cooks, maids & slave labor.....why dont the decendants of those white sharecroppers & Chinese slave workers lay all their current problems at the feet of how their long dead ANCESTORS were treated?? I can tell you why - because they took responsibilty for themselves, for their OWN LIVES & didnt except any handouts or aid. Most Chinese Americans, most of whom are decendants from SLAVES just like you are, are now the wealthiest, most well educated & HARDEST WORKING Americans in this country. WHY CANT YOU DO THE SAME???? I already know the answer to that, so dont bother just making more lame excuses for yourself.

Play the victim for the rest of your life & see where it lands you & your decendants/children....right where you are today. NOBODY ENSLAVES YOU EXCEPT YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

96. Michelle is an ugly duckling. Cindy is beautiful. I don't give a damn if she had botox or surgery, she still looks great!

If you believe in all of your current rights as an American, vote McCain/Palin November 4th! Wake up people! We don't want socializm!

97. Obviously they made Cindy look bad. She is a very pretty women. Michelle on the other hand looks like a horse with her huge mouth & big teeth. She is a very ugly women that needs a makeover.

99. Cindy M is one of the most beautiful potential first ladies in history. Only an artist can make Michelle Obama look good. Frumpolicious!

103. It's not biased. Mrs. Obama is just a better looking woman.

104. No real surprise, but Laurie Munn and her husband own A.P.F. Munn, which is listed as a contributor to the Obama campaign.

105. Give me a break. Michelle Obama is NOT an attractive woman. Put a picture of the real MObama up next to this rendition and you can plainly see the artist was WAY WAY WAY TOO kind to her. She really looks like a mean person, not very approachable. You can spin that any way you like but the truth is the truth. Cindy McCain is much more attractive although the color of her eyes is kind of strange.
