JOHN MCNAUGHTON PAINTING

A picture is worth a 1,000 words.

A simple painting and a simple explanation says it all.

Please read the narrative under the painting.... "The Demise of America"

Many Americans today feel a sense of dismay and horror as we see our country in a downward spiral; both economically, morally, and politically.

President Obama's indifferent attitude and the continuous list of scandals and bad policy

are leading the country to ruin.

As an artist I am reminded of the old saying "Nero fiddled while Rome burned."

History believes that Nero himself may have set the great fire that burned a part of Rome

during his leadership.

Afterwards, he blamed it on the Christians who suffered great persecution under his rule.

I see great similarities to what we are experiencing today.

Obama fiddled, while the people witnessed the demise of America.
