SALT LAKE CITY -- A new painting of President Barack Obama by a Utah artist is stirring things up politically.

The piece, which includes every U.S. president, is titled "The Forgotten Man" and shows Obama stepping on the U.S. Constitution.

"I feel like our presidents have really forgotten who put them there," artist Jon McNaughton said.

The painting shows conservative presidents on one side and liberals on the other. It also features dollar bills blowing around and depicts the American flag at half-mast.

"The flag being at half-mast usually happens when there is a tragedy in the country," McNaughton said. "I have painted the flag at half-mast because I feel that right now our country is experiencing a tragedy at monumental proportions."

I would have used his Karate pose rather than have him stand with arms crossed. Where is Teddy with the big stick?

Obviously, the artist’s a racist.

Another artist that will soon have to go into hiding, when the fatwa is issued against him.

Looks like Clinton and the Roosevelts are applauding.

"...as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical.

It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties.

Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf..."

- Barack Hussein Obama

He really got Lincoln with an angry look well...

RR looks disgusted...

Blow up the image. Woodrow Wilson is to the right of FDR. It is not clear if he is applauding. The guy to the right of Woody, however, clearly is-- it might be TR.

Teddy had his faults, but I would never question his patriotism.
