My name is Thomas Jefferson; my friends call me Tom or TJ; and I represent the third President of the United States.  From the bottom of my shoes to the top of my head, I am 7 ½” tall and I stand on a ½” black base that has my name emblazoned across the front.  When anyone touches me, I usually nod in agreement – mainly because my head is attached to my body with a long, metal spring. 

Except for being a lot shorter, I look exactly like Jefferson did in 1792; which was nine years before he became the nation’s third president and 16 years after he drafted and signed the Declaration of Independence.  Unlike the original Sage of Monticello, I am made of high-quality resin and am hand-painted by skilled artists who didn’t spare a single detail.

  That’s right, you guessed it, I’m a bobble head.  Not just any bobble head, mind you, I’m a Royal Bobble; one that was created with the greatest attention to detail and quality craftsmanship.  My original design and sculpture was fashioned at the parent company located in Alpharetta, Georgia in July/August 2009; but I was born in China (likely in late 2009) and shipped back to the United States in a very comfortable, Styrofoam-lined decorative box that was filled with information about Jefferson and his life.

As a bobble head, I am proud to represent one of the greatest men in American history; but I wanted to do more than simply sit on a shelf and wiggle my head.  Within the posts of this blog, please join me and my personal photographer on this journey around the country as I walk in the footsteps of those who served our nation as its Commander-In-Chief.  Everywhere I visited; everything I touched, stood on, or was photographed near; was done with the greatest respect for those great men – no matter what their political affiliations, personal ambitions, or public scandals may have been.

Now sit back for a historical excursion as well as my personal tribute to the Presidents of the United States – a homage like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. I proudly present to you: Through the Eyes of Jefferson!
