And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Navajo weaver Elle of Ganado and her rug for President Theodore Roosevelt
If I were Teddy, I'd have that rug prominently displayed in a place of honor in my home. Great gift, Elle!
If it was in the White House as a momento, Barack would have torn it down in the same way that he sent the bust of Churchill back to England.
