“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

How is this controversial?

Oh, wait, it shows Obama in a bad light.  My bad:
Controversial Artist Depicts Obama Trampling The Constitution

Provo, Utah (CBS Las Vegas) - In front of the White House a man is sitting on a park bench in the throes of depression. He is surrounded by all 43 presidents. In the forefront, purposefully ignoring the depressed man is President Obama, whose right foot is stepping on the Constitution. James Madison is next to Obama, pleading with him to stop.

This tableau is called “The Forgotten Man”, a painting by Jon McNaughton, an artist who is known for his politically-charged work.
 The painting can be seen here, at the web site of the artist, Jon McNaughton, who has a large selection of very fine paintings.  At the time of this posting, the web site was having server issues, so check back later if you can't get through.
