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 is 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.
