Baroque Obama vs. Simplistic Conservatism

I love this image. I had not seen it until a friend shared it on his Facebook page today. When I saw it, I had to share it on my Facebook page, but I did so only after adding the following disclaimer:
I share this image at the risk of having my conservative friends completely miss an excellent pun and instead see it as an anti-Obama statement.
Because complexity, nuance, and detail are the hallmarks of baroque architecture and music, the image is quite pro-Obama.
However, I suspect many conservatives will miss the point because they tend to avoid complexity, nuance, and detail and instead rely on simplistic solutions to complex issues.
I hope they can Handel the truth.
