A painting that depicts President Barack Obama as Jesus Christ on the cross on display in Boston is causing an uproar of emotions and opinions online.
According to the Daily Mail, the artwork, titled 'Truth,' was supposed to be shown four years ago in New York's Union Square but the exhibition was closed due to public outrage.
But the painting is now on the walls of a community college art gallery.
According to the Daily Mail report, the painting is part of a larger exhibit called 'Artists on the Stump – the Road to the White House 2012."
