    >This is great! Thanks for sharing. I just showed it to my eight-year-old and made her read the names out loud!!

    >What a stunning video. Especially the way the morphing seems to begin with the eyes. The technology involved is astounding.

    I’m not sure the 19th century Presidents would have quite approved of Ravel’s “Bolero” and it’s connotations, but I thought it was great. Thanks for this.

    >Maybe portly was IN then. Thanks for the interesting post.

    >I agree with Julie. There were many in the past that were quite portly and wouldn’t have looked good in high def.

    Loved the morphing in the video.

    >WOW-how fun to watch the past morph into the future.

    My husband could name them all – he became a citizen his senior year. He’s sooo much smarter than me.

    >Interesting!

    >And we’ve sure had some interesting- (read: creepy) looking Presidents.

    I would venture a guess many of them would not have been elected today given our media driven world that is focused on beauty.

    >Wow. Isn’t it strange to think that God chose us to live in this particular era? Life would have been so different if we’d been born, say, 200 years ago.

    And we’ve sure had some interesting- (read: creepy) looking Presidents.

    >Hello Rachelle,

    There once was a time I could give the names of all the presidents in order. I can still get most of them right. Ah the sweet life of a nerd.
