This is a piece of art that an artist wanted to unveil on Obama's 100th day in office as President of United States.  Provocative.
The artist wanted this piece to be provocative.

As someone who is 'religious' the portrait is offensive.  After reading the artist's reasoning (or lack of reasoning) behind his painting, I am a little less offended.

Look at these links to read more about the art and it's purpose.  In the end the artist decided to cancel the unveiling because of how much reaction his art had garnered. 
Please click the last 2 links.
The 2nd to last is a Catholic's perspective on the art.  The last is an interview with the artist - interesting.
