I'm told this is a compilation of public domain photos, and that we should pass it on!

Which is odd, since there are 43 of them... (presumably they only put Cleveland in there once, but that still leaves us 42 + Obama). I wonder who got ditched?

I was wondering about that. Go figure it out, please, cuz i sure don't have the brainpower to do it today.

Hard to say with precision—they cleverly dropped one from the period where they all look kind of the same—but I think it's Calvin Coolidge who got dumped (you can look at the pictures on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidents_of_the_United_States) and draw your own conclusions: Coolidge should be between the end of the fourth row and the beginning of the fifth). Somewhat appropriate, that we don't hear anything from Silent Cal... <grin>

Yep. I was about to post and say I thought it was Coolidge.

Without a doubt the missing person is between Taft and FDR (who are both rather distinctive looking), and based on comparing Wikipedia with the extremely tiny pics in the compilation photo, I do think it is Coolidge.

Which is, indeed, sadly fitting.

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering this...

Surely you know you can count on me for things like this? ;-)

I thought 42 didn't sound right...

Somebody should create an animated version, in which one president seamlessly morphs into the next.

What a sweet, beautiful, perfectly perfect square with such a wonderful new face.

I'm proud to be an American today. :)

Well, 44 makes a nice rectangle too. :-)
