Obama’s artwork matches indecision on Afghanistan

I guess you can learn a lot about a man from the artwork he hangs in the White House (all of his records are sealed, so what else do we have to work with?). From The Times:

…it has not gone unnoticed among [Obama’s] generals that among the works of art chosen by the Obamas to hang in the White House is Edward Ruscha’s painting about indecision, I Think I’ll … The picture superimposes phrases such as “maybe … yes”, “maybe … no” and “wait a minute” on top of a blood-red sunset.

The Guardian says of the painting:

That pretty much sums up the 44th presidency as seen through the eyes of Fox News.
