I like the new one but it would be better if the background wasn't so busy. They should probably have closed the curtains.

I agree the curtains should have been closed, and I'm not sure what message the crossed arms convey.
I like the facial expression on the new protrait better than the old.

I love it. It shows the confidence of a man in full possession of his presidency. And to tell you the truth, I didn't even notice the background - the Prez is just too damn handsome!

I like it. The office is quite comfortable and the open curtain makes it absolutely clear where he is. As jane said, his crossed arms exude confidence and full possession of the presidency, which is made clear by the background features. You know where he's at. It's the ultimate "I Got This". I love it.

I like it... but! -- the First Lady has such lovely strong features, I prefer to see a bit more of her face.

Michelle has a personal hairstylist. For him, it's an easy job because he has such great material to work with. Michelle is lovely no matter what she does.
All us gals out here wish we had the style help the FLOTUS gets. Trust me.
