Bizarre Obama Portrait Features a Six-Fingered Left Hand

Did you see it?

Take a closer look at the president's left hand:

The painter, Kehinde Wiley, apparently forgot how many fingers a hand has. Or, forgot which side of the hand the thumb goes on.

Or, accidentally painted a thumb on the left part of the left hand, and then tried to make it look like another pinky finger.

Or ... perhaps Obama has six fingers and no one's ever noticed before?

The strange mixup was first noticed by Twitter user Leslie Ann Dowd:

As we reported yesterday, the relatively obscure artist has a controversial past, previously painting images of blacks decapitating whites.
