Certainly no President has been much concerned with the Constitution since (at the very latest) Andrew Jackson, but that may be a secondary point.  The utter disregard for the problems of real people seems to be a greater point in the painting.

hell, even Jackson had his supreme moments of fail...well, douchebaggery, but still.

Frankly, the Constitution has been pissed on one way or another since just after the ink was dried. And to my mind, almost every president--if not every--has violated it one way or another--either deliberately, or otherwise.

"Intentions are everything, since you are saying why was an action good for one economy and bad for another. It was the intention of the action, so that in an economy not requiring stimuation since it was at full capacity, additional cash in circulation would have a de-stabilising effect through increased inflationary pressures. Rationing was actually about re-directed supply. If you think the real inflation number is actually hyper-infaltionary, do you have some research showing the real number?" --asianlife53 in the comments of this video

If that boldface part isn't a fail, I don't know what is.

Looks like most of the figures (approving or not) aren't even noticing the Constitution being ground underfoot (although Thomas Jefferson is), but most are gesturing towards the despairing man sitting on the bench which Obama and his approvers are studiously ignoring.

Something that I would take more seriously if I had not seen some of the artist's other work; e.g. the piece I just linked you to...

Conspiracy theorists believe that the Colorado shooting was a conspiracy and that there are two different "James Holmes."

In fairness, I ran into some who were convinced otherwise after people told them to look into a mirror and smile and see what happens to their nose. It really does change shape like that!

You don't even have to smile.  Just flare your nostrils, which people commonly do when they want to maximize the good feeling of the moment.

Which "only black kid" is he referring to? John Conyers? Charlie Rangel? Maxine Waters? Jim Clyburn? Ed Towns? John Lewis? [fade out as names keep being read...]

The National Atheist Party

They're basically a bunch of democrats who want to act like they're not democrats.

A fail from the end of OKCupid.com's "The Politics Test":
"Higher permissiveness, on either axis, indicates a "live and let live" philosophy. Of course, we're almost conditioned in America, "Land of the Free", to think positively of such a philosophy. But practically speaking, permissiviness (or its opposite, regulation) can create any number of outcomes:

For example, on the economic axis, a highly permissive system, like the American system of the early 1900s, might mean things like low taxes and increased scientific innovation. It might also result, as it did back then, in unrestricted child labor and millions of poor people with black lung.

At the other end of the economic spectrum, a highly regulated system might conserve the environment, establish national health care, and eliminate poverty. But as we've learned from the Soviet system, extreme regulation can also lead to stagnation, sameness, and unhappiness. "

"Unrestricted child labor" existed LONG before economic permissiveness (read: freedom) existed to any large degree.  And the working conditions IMPROVED, as people went from back BREAKING work on farms to back ACHING work in factories and mines.  gotta love the ivory tower nirvana fallacy--and outright lie--they pull here.

"A highly regulated system...might conserve the environment" bullshit.  Government is the world's biggest polluter, even if you don't count war--which you totally should. "Establish national health care" which in turns kills because of the waiting lines and decreased innovation...yet this idiot says that like it's a good thing... "and eliminate poverty" only in the sense that EVERYONE save for the political elite are equally poor, so you can call that shit standard that most have "middle class".  If that's not what they meant by 'eliminate poverty", then what else can I say, but: [Citation needed]
