the most decayed president is woodrow wilson. pretty much looks like he has leprosy. the question comes up is there a rhyme or reason as to why these guys are decaying at a faster rate than the remaining. i just don't understand or know if there is any reason behind it. perhaps he's in a wind pattern or rain pattern that makes him more susceptible to cracking. i don't know. if you come look closely at this president who was one of eight virginian native presidents, look in his right eyeball. that is a wasps nest which is not uncommon. often you see them in the nostrils of the sculptures. lyndon johnson is starting to lose the end of his nose. ronald reagan was one of them that was struck by lightning a few years back. he's been successfully cleaned up since. probably the most difficult of all of the presidents to identify is back here behind president reagan. no one's ever got this right. as a matter of fact i had to really study him hard to figure out who that was. that is warren harding. behind him is john adams who is tough to see because of all of the overgrowth.
