Provo resident David Chiu said he enjoyed the program, but didn't even realize there was a picture of Obama in the montage, amid the three or four pictures of Bush.

"I thought one (of Bush) would have been enough," he said. "It was nice and all, but it was kind of too much."

Kristen Brown was most concerned about the message a lack of Obama photos could send.

"It was really touching … but they kept on showing picture after picture of President Bush, which is fine, except he's not the president anymore," the BYU senior from Vermont said. "They weren't showing any pictures of the current president while they were talking about supporting America. That's not really supporting the man who is in the White House right now."

Unsure if she had missed other photos of Obama or if she was blowing the situation out of proportion, Brown talked with several friends, who also agreed they found the lack of current photos strange.

"I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, like to believe they didn't do this purposely to dis the president," she said. "But it is something that they need to be a little more sensitive (about.)"
