For a moment there I thought you were going to post about the Obomination being on our currency.

WHEW!
With any luck I'll be six foot under when that happens.

Considering the administrations of these four presidents totaled less than 10 years they should release five or six presidents next year.

Thanks. I see “In God We Trust” has moved off the edge.

"Where’s Obama? "

I propose a new rule...to get your moniker on a coin, you have to be a natural born citizen, and have proof.

I want to know why Obama’s picture is not going on a coin.

I heard a rumor that it would be on the new issue of food stamps.

Harrison gave the longest inaugural address ever, 1 hour 40 minutes long. It would have been even longer but Daniel Webster, the incoming Secretary of State, edited it. I think he is said to have remarked that he had just killed off 6 Roman proconsuls.

By my math, we’ll see Ronald Reagan on the dollar coin in 2016. I vote they make it permanent at that point.

If Carter is still alive, will they skip him?
