I believe that a carving of President Obama's face should be added to Mount Rushmore.

1. how about a campaign to name something after him in every state

[LoZoccolo]

2. I think that he should also be on the five-hundred-dollar bill.

[Shiver]

18. You're thinking too small.

Carve his face into the moon with a giant laser!

[Hawkowl]

3. How about renaming Afghanistan to Obamastan?

[LoZoccolo]

4. He doesn't live there.

[Hawkowl]

21. But he has spilled a lot of blood there

Women, children, US soldiers. It would be a fitting memorial, no?

[Wilms]

5. .

[Tx4obama]

12. LOL. But he needs to smile and flash his pearly whites. n/t

[blondeatlast]

6. O. E. +

:popcorn:

[jpak]

7. And name 3 aircraft carriers after him

That would make them chase their tails

yup

:D

[Zanzoobar]

28. I would say there's a pretty good chance of having a USS Obama.

All the big spenders get their boats.

[ecstatic]

8. I'm thinking a monument in DC would be nice

:P

[MannyGoldstein]

9. Obama Goldman Sachs?

The Bush-Obama Tax Cuts?

[LoZoccolo]

13. How would they make a carving of tax cuts?

[Sonoman]

10. Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln?

You must be kidding.

Obama?

Different dog, same handlers.

Maybe they could do one of those really weird two-faced things with GWB and Obama.

No difference.

[LoZoccolo]

11. You do sound serious.

[Sonoman]

22. I am serious...

and I am tired...

Sonoman

[jillan]

14. Why?

[LoZoccolo]

15. There's a big list of things that Obama has accomplished.

[jillan]

16. He's not even done with his first term yet. Isn't it kind of early to be talking about this?

[LoZoccolo]

17. I would think the list would get even bigger.

[tekisui]

36. The list of what he does as president will inevitably grow longer.

But not necessarily with good things or accomplishments. It is inane to suggest any sitting President be added to Rushmore. At least let him finish so you can make a retrospective statement. He could be caught in a nasty scandal at some point or get us bogged down in more useless wars.

[JoePhilly]

42. Heck, some on DU claim he is the worst President ever after less then 2 years.

So, if you support him, why not try to get some room on Rushmore ... ?

:shrug:

[Safetykitten]

19. He should be on the 50 dollar denomination HC voucher.

[grahamhgreen]

20. They could never fit his ears! I suggest a giant ear memorial near the reflecting

pool, that doubles as a fountain and a slide for kids!

[donheld]

23. Oh for fuck's sake

give it a few years

[Electric Monk]

25. Consider the source

[villager]

24. Some people believe their dogs are whispering deadly orders to them, too

n/t

[Fuddnik]

31. You mean, they're not?

[Romulox]

26. Is a shit statement. nt

[Ozymanithrax]

27. Obamerica... Just imagine.

the possibilities.

[SheilaT]

29. In reality, there's no suitable spot

there for another head.

And no matter what, Mt. Rushmore should remain as is. Plus, let's wait a little while before we fully know what his legacy will be. It's bad enough they renamed National Airport after the genial idiot who fired the air traffic controllers. I'm in favor of a fifty year moratorium on naming anything after anyone.

[Keith Bee]

30. Fishing for Recs?

Hmmm? :evilgrin:

[RandomKoolzip]

32. Let's shoot for Noel Gallagher first.

[dionysus]

33. !!!

"when me and my brother noel aren't fighting, we're in our hotel room, snorting cocaine..."
:rofl:

[tekisui]

34. What a stupid idea.

[Raster]

35. Jesu Freaking Christe...

...seriously??? This is a DU gotcha, right?

[Motown_Johnny]

37. As I understand it, that is not possible

because the rest of the stone in the surrounding area is to fractured to be carved properly.

[cynatnite]

38. This would be an excellent way to punk the repukes....they're so damn gullible anyway. n/t

[Rex]

39. I second that.

[CBGLuthier]

40. Mount Rushmore is disgusting.

The arrogance of carving a mountain to create new gods to worship is sickening.

[Rex]

43. Gods? Hardly! It is just the faces of a few great leaders

and an incredible piece of artwork. I think Obama being added is a great idea!

44. Americans don't make monuments to the living.

So your post seems just a bit on the negative side. Tacky. He's the President, not an object for your exploitation.
