I like to imagine that they are laughing at her, not with her. Also that Lincoln is facing away from the viewer so that we don’t see the stinkeye he’s fixed upon her.
I like that the focal point of the original painting is Eisenhower’s penis. What school of art was it that always tried to have the central regions of a painting taken up by a mans crotch?
First of all, wouldn’t it have made more sense to have all the folks be from the same political party, not just some completely unrelated party that just happens to have the same name? Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Eisenhower were not the same party as Nixon, Reagan, and the Bushes.
Second, the original painting was a bunch of Presidents, which at least made some sort of sense. What’s Palin doing there? She never got elected to any national office, and the one time she ran, it was for VP, not President. I guess that if McCain had died in the past four years, the artist could be saying that she should be President right now, but last I knew, he’s still alive.
Third, is this the same artist that did the one with a whole bunch of Americans standing around Jesus?
Blue Dogs playing poker?
Looks like the set-up for a Republican porn site. Palin loses the hand and has to take her blouse off. Things get a little wild after that.
Eh, its just a cheesy, feel good painting, not a political analysis of the changes in American party structure over the last few decades.
Because someone had to be added to cover the original’s bizarre focus on Eisenhower’s crotch.
Googling no. This guy seems to just do feel-good patriotic posters for either party. He also did Democrats playing poker and Obama giving a speech while Rosa Parks et al look on.
Teddy Roosevelt was also a member (and founder) of the… bum bum bum… Progressive Party! Is it just me, or does GWB look like Beavis in that picture? He has a prominent fivehead. And there’s no room at the table for Warren G. Harding?
Chronos, tineye.com is my go-to site for that kind of question, but I’m not having any luck. I think you’re thinking of McNaughton? I can’t find it there with a few searches, either. And Palin’s God-given nomination was stolen by a socialist plot.
No that’s Jon McNaughton, the card playing picture is by Andy Thomas

Jon McNaughton
That’s Ike? Looks more like Kruschev.
Andy Thomas has also done a sequel, Callin’ the Blue. Notice that the original Grand Ol’ Gang painting is on the wall. And there are Democratic counterparts, True Blues and Callin’ the Red.
A non-political example of Thomas’ work, Pirate Party. If you look at the faces, you’ll notice the pirates are actually famous musicians.
If Palin is going to be sitting there, she needs to be facing the other way.
Someone should add Sarah Palin to that picture, too. Like this.
Rococko, I believe.
Wow. That was completely… uh, nothing. I’d be more interested in seeing an all-woman picture along the same lines, but they’d probably have a tough time finding any from 50 years ago or more who would be widely recognized.
Okay, that one’s pretty fun. I see Jimi and Janis and Morrison, and Kurt Cobain, and Roy Orbison behind Jim Croce. I think Jerry’s back off to the left. There’s Elvis. Is that supposed to be Phil Lynott with the red sash and his head tossed back? And Patsy Cline behind the captain? Who’s the captain?
I would totally buy that if he could ink Levon Helm in real quick.
I first saw them at an actual gallery and noticed that in “True Blues”, Bill Clinton seems to be cleaning out with the chips… that’s the Bubba we all know and love 
Also some nice details in the original Grand Old Gang, such as Reagan’s jellybeans and Ike’s golf clubs.
I like how they all seem to be looking askance at Palin. Especially Nixon.
Watch it! That penis won the war.
What Simplicio said. But technically speaking all the people in the painting are from the same party as Lincoln. It was Jefferson’s Republican party that was a different party. Of course the politics of the party has changed several times since Ljncoln, but that’s a separate issue.
