Not everyone is happy about Britney Spears' recent comeback tour.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that before presidential hopeful Barack Obama gave a speech Tuesday night at the Plant Zero art gallery in Richmond, VA, his people asked for a painting of Spears, 25, to be covered.
The piece is a 6 by 10 foot reproduction of Brit's infamous panty-less car exit, called "Snake Charmer" (and it can be yours for just $5,000!). The artist, Jamie Boling, told the Times-Dispatch that the painting "depicts this culture's preoccupation with celebrity." We're guessing the Obama campaign had a different interpretation, adopting the parlance of Ms. Spears' driver that fateful night, Paris Hilton, in order to deem the piece a "not hot" speech backdrop.
Boling can see their point: "I understand that a politician would want to avoid being photographed in front of Britney Spears' crotch."
