Obamas Spruce Up White House With Borrowed Art - NYTimes.com

Another contemporary work chosen by the Obamas is a word painting by the California artist Ed Ruscha. Called “I Think I’ll ... ” it deals with the subject of indecision. The work depicts a brilliant red sunset against which Mr. Ruscha has painted phrases like “Maybe ... Yes ... ” and “Maybe ... No ... ” and “On Second Thought.”

If this doesn't sum up this milquetoast administration, I don't know what does. There's a picture of the work in question (which is, IMHO, godawful and sophomoric, but I'm not an art critic) at the link.
