Bush pokes fun at unveiled portrait

President Bush got a look at how history will remember him -- at least in one artist’s view -- as he presided over the unveiling of his portrait at a private club in Philadelphia.

“Welcome to my hanging,” Bush said, drawing laughs at the Union League.

The president put his hands on his hips and eyed the painting, as if to judge whether artist Mark Carder got it right. His verdict:

“He did a really fine job with a challenging subject.”
