http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/03/20/controversial-painter-depicts-obama-with-burning-constitution/While McNaughton previously depicted Obama stepping on the nation’s founding document, “One Nation Under Socialism” glowers directly as if challenging the viewer. His right hand is holding the Constitution and his left hand is pointing to the flames.
McNaughton tells CBSDC that the hands “represents his recognition of what is happening (to the Constitution) as it goes up.”
“There are numerous symbols and subtleties in this painting, and I’m not ready to reveal all of them,” McNaughton said.

Wonder how many in this country know of the Mormon prophecies concerning Mitt and how he will save this burning constitution with a thread hanging from his white horse's tail?
I would like to see McNaughton paint that. Heck, I would even volunteer to pin the thread on the horse (although to play it safe and avoid being kicked, I might forgo the horse and pin it directly on Mitt).
Wonder if this painting will end up in Vault J at Little Cottonwood Canyon or in some underground compound bunker? It stands as a superlative example of graphic hate speech which is protected by the Constitution. Sort of ironic in a circular manner.

Bc, is your problem with Obama the fact that he is black?
I know you still believe the Priesthood Ban is doctrinally correct and that the black skin isn't the lineage curse but only the sign of the lineage curse. But is colour playing a part in you political affiliations?
What if the President had exactly the policies etc that you would vote for, but he was gay - would that stop you voting for him?

I guess not accepting socialism is racist now as well.
