Using a photo as an impression for a painting is acceptable if you change it enough to make it unique to your vision.
Simply making a bad copy of a photo is plagiarism and wrong.

put me down as not caring that he pulled up some google images and painted them. but they are leading contenders for the MOBA, no doubt.

I don't think that copying from a photo would preclude an artist from adding "insight" to the portrait. I also don't think that Bush is artist enough to do so. But as a former President, he is going to enjoy perks such as exhibits and interviews on national television conducted by his daughter. Personally, I am kind of fascinated with his paintings, they are so bad: he's kind of a reverse Hitler, as it were, if I may be so bold as to Godwinize the thread.

I have to admit, that painting is light years better than anything Bush has done so far.
