The Presidents on the President
Here’s an interesting video about a new work of art by Jon McNaughton (via Michelle Malkin):
McNaughton’s Web site has an online version of the painting that shows closeups and offers clickable summaries for each president (and other components of the painting).

In no instance have… the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people.
That’s from the guy looking like he wants to shine Barack’s shoes
