Someone took the time to morph all the faces of the 43 presidents and the one president-elect, into each other. It's interesting because it graphically makes a point made so often since Election Day and that will likely be made for a long time going forward, that President-elect Barack Obama gives the presidency a strikingly new and different look.

Maurice Ravel's "Bolero" as a soundtrack wouldn't have been my choice. A better choice might have been a loop of the musical introduction of Aaron Copeland's "A Lincoln Portrait." Or how about "Hail to the Chief?"

Kennedy
Carter
Obama

As a President, Kennedy was a waste of time. Carter is generally considered one of our most ineffectual Presidents. Let's hope Obama does better than they did.

Or you can just watch the History Channel or order some of their videos and learn a lot too.

Better to watch TV than to read something.

I thought Obama supporters flattered themselves that they were so smart and well-educated.

Guess not.

Yeah. Who the heck are some of those guys?

If you don't know who "some of these guys" are, you shouldn't have been allowed to vote. Voting is not for ignorant people.

Oh Gosh , me too. I was like. Who are these guys? And I thought everyone with a Mc in front of their name was Irish so was Mc Kinley Irish ? And what was Van Buren or whatever?

Lots of blue eyes though.

Mc is Scottish, whereas Mac is Irish.

McKinley was American. All of them were American. We need to get rid of that other stuff, where people are sorted out by where their ancestors came from.

43 Old White guys (or 42 cuz saw one guy twice)...and Obama standing out like a sore thumb. Man, the country has come a long way (we've said that a billion times since Nov. 4th but it still resonates)

I had a real stange feeling when I watch this its like I was watching a movie. It just seemed so surreal and there is something else different about Obama other than his race I mean but I can't put my finger on it.

He's skinnier than the others and has bigger teeth.

I miss politicians with facial hair. Show me a man with a beard I can lose my wallet in and I'll show you a man who has got my vote.

The president is a man of many faces. When we have a woman president, the metamorphosis will be complete.

Did anyone else notice?

The first time we see teeth is with Jimmy Carter. And after that, we always see a toothy smile.

I said the same thing..... I wonder why the prezzies started to smile from Carter to Obama?....Hmmmm.

When their likenesses could be captured quickly by photography. Imagine having to smile for hours and hours while your portrait was being painted.

Eyes are the window to the soul. I noted three presidents who appeared to have a soulfulness.

Who? I'm guessing Carter is one. And Obama. Who is the third?

Beautiful job. It shows that we have, indeed, come a long way since Washington. Ravel's Bolero is a nice touch, it adds a touch of class to the presentation and makes the morphing process seem much more solemn.

Just a wee bit creepy. But still good.
