Putting the image of rulers on coinage has a very long tradition.Exactly. You went straight to my point. Until 1909 we only put allegorical images of Liberty on our coinage, except for occasional representation of people such as Indians, but they didn't represent actual people. I know it sounds worse than corny now, but the President is really supposed to be the First Citizen. He and his family have all the trappings of the Sun King. I'm it didn't start with Obama. It probably really got going with the security after Kennedy was assassinated, and accelerated after the attempt on Reagan. |
