By Jack Brummet, Mona Goldwater, and Pablo Fanque, ATIT Editors

As you know, if you've been reading ATIT for long, one focus on this blog is the U.S. Presidency.  We've published hundreds of articles and photographs of the Presidents over the last seven+ years.  Here are 20 of our favorite images.

Nixon, the Johnson Treatment

President Abe Lincoln pre-beard

Soon to be President Obama, happy on the campaign trail.  We wish we could see

this look on his face again.

President Dick Nixon meets some actors in space garb.  Jack can't
track this down, but seems to remember it was taken at Disneyland

Paul Krassner's realist gave a twisted spin to this photograph of President Reagan at a meet
and greet.  This is Pablo's favorite Presidential photo, because Pablo is one sick biscuit.

President Howard Taft in all his voluminous glory

A bandaged President Jack Kennedy ekes out the last bit of a cigar

One of Jack's favorites - President Harry Truman serenades Lauren Bacall. After Truman's wife

Bess saw this picture, she hit the roof and forbade him any more shenanigans like this.  This is Mona's favorite, and she says she understands why Bess was angry.  Look at those pins on Bacall!

Maybe the most famous of the all - Blitzed out on goofballs, Elvis meets President Dick Nixon at the White House and asks for an honorary drug agent badge
