Milo February 8, 2012 12:16 PM Provo, Utah (CBS Las Vegas) -- Sales soared for a painting depicting Obama trampling on the Constitution after a story CBS Las Vegas produced last weekend went viral. John McNaughtonâs âThe Forgotten Manâ sold in one day âwhat we would sell in three months.â The amount of traffic the story generated even crashed his website. âI hate to think of the sales I lost with the site being down, but Iâm pleased that the message got out,â he told CBS Las Vegas. His webmaster needed to increase the amount of bandwidth for the site four times before it went back up Saturday night. While sales of the painting went up, McNaughton said he got reactions from a âmixed bag of peopleâ over the story. âPeople really loved the painting and some were really angry,â he told CBS Las Vegas. âOur country is really divided and emotions run high on both sides of the aisle.â Because of the delicate subject matter raised in his art, McNaughton was often accused of racism. âI think racism is a legitimate issue. But I think if you want to speak out against Obama and his policies is one thing, but being called a racist gets tiresome when it has nothing to do with the painting.â McNaughton was hesitant to paint âThe Forgotten Manâ before it was released in 2010, but âpushed to do itâ despite his friendsâ reservations. Since âThe Forgotten Manâ was released, McNaughton painted what he described as âa sequel.â The painting is called âWake Up Americaâ and it features âThe Forgotten Manâ trying to saw himself out of the chains of debt. Throughout the tableau there are faces of sadness, blame, and desperation. President Obama is also prominently featured as a ring leader to the madness. McNaughton also did another painting called âVia Dolorosaâ in which historical figures bear witness to Jesusâ crucifixion. âA lot of it has to do with modern day Christians and where they stand in history,â McNaughton said about the painting. As for his next work, McNaughton is keeping the details under wraps. âItâs called âOne Nation Under Socialism.â Itâs political, but I want to keep it under my hat. I want to surprise people so there are no misconceptions.â âOne Nation Under Socialismâ will be released in about a month.
