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."

OMG! This is sooooooo awesome!

From one painter to another, I’m inspired! This actually makes a brilliant, and easily understood point on all levels!

And he knows how to paint realistic figures to boot!

How long until WH makes comment on this..4....3..2..?

Hussein cannot ban entry for life to the USA for this fellow. He is already here...

Looks like Bill, FDR and Teddy are clapping.

Hope the link works. His pricing is quite reasonable, and he has some other interesting pieces as well. He has links that name each person and what they did, and why they are designated as conservative or liberal for each of his paintings.

May God bless,

Brilliant.

Wow. Terrific job! Artist's Web site where image can be looked at close up and prints can be purchased.

You know it. They allow no dissent against the first black "president". Responding to negative comments directed at BO is the daily full time job of this administration. In fact, that's all they do.

Politcal Cartoon/Constitution by Amos Doolittle c1787

google: The Looking Glass & Doolittle

Really stunned when I saw this...

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And, if the libs don’t like it, we can always say that it isn’t really Obamugbe...ther’s no teleprompter in front of him.

[Politicalmom]

It is absolutely beautiful work.

Nice — Hussein is hardly the first!

Notice the other progressive presidents clapping their hands and the more conservatives begging for the man on the bench to do something... very clever.

[giotto]

It hangs in the Denver Airport? Where—the janitor’s closet? That is truly repulsive. I don’t even want to think what the “artist’s” intentions were.

[mojito]

Agreed. TR would never applaud the trampling of the Constitution.

[SaveTheChief]

Got it, thanks!

[BenLurkin]

Honest Abe should be standing a closer to Hussein. He stomped it a few times himself.

[BenLurkin]

Really? Close enough to flick boogers at?

Is there a direct link to the painting?

Maybe it's because I'm on dial-up, a grey block shows up.
