Proposal: Statue of Awesomeness (VANITY)

Our Beloved Leader, His Awesomeness, has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for being awesome. Unfortunately, it might land His Awesomeness in further legal issues due to it being unconstitutional to accept as FReepers Swordmaker and Paleo Conservative have pointed out.

I originally suggested in a recent thread that His Awesomeness should commission a bust or portrait of Himself to grace the front entrance of the White House. FReeper Hot Tabasco pointed out that I was not being properly respectful of His Awesomeness and suggested instead a replacement of the Statue of Liberty. After careful meditation, I have decided that Hot Tabasco is correct.

Given that Article 1, Section 9 of our constitution forbids such gifts, we must come up with a properly awesome and legal solution to this dilemma.

My first idea was to have a Statue of Awesomeness commissioned by Norway, assembled in Cuba (blessed be our friend and ally Fidel Castro) and transported to the Mexico/Texas border to welcome all of our fellow world travelers who wish to live in this country illegally. After further meditation, I think this is still not awesome enough for someone who managed to achieve world peace with less than two weeks in office.

My proposal is the following.

1. We commission a Statue of Awesomeness to be built and paid for by Norway.
2. The Statue of Awesomeness will be an image of our Beloved Leader holding in his hands the Nobel Peace Prize.
3. The Statue of Awesomeness is to be sent in pieces to somewhere along the west coast of Mexico, where it will be assembled into something truly awesome.
4. It will then be transported via boat, the same as the Statue of Liberty, to be delivered to somewhere in Pasadena, California.

By having the statue commissioned, paid for and built by Norway, we completely bypass gift issues. By having the statue assembled in Mexico, we show proper respect for all of those from the south who choose to immigrate to our fair lands without paying proper attention to immigration law. Placing the statue in Pasadena is the true genius of this idea, if I may say so myself.

What is one of the highest rated TV events year in and year out? The Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena on New Year's Day. Having the Statue of Awesomeness located in Pasadena gives all TV broadcasters free bumper video as they cut to and from commercials during the broadcast. The same can be done for the Rose Bowl broadcast that follows.

The Tournament of Roses doesn't have as much international exposure as it should, so something else is needed. The Super Bowl does have widespread international exposure and thus instead of floating it around the nation, it should be permanently located in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl. That way, we have a never ending opportunity to show the world how awesome our Beloved Leader is. After all, as the last nine months have shown, we can never be told or shown too many times how awesome His Awesomeness is.

So there, that is my proposal on how to deal with this glorious opportunity that has been bestowed upon us by our Beloved Leader, His Awesomeness.

Are the doors wide enough at the White House to allow both His Awesomeness' ego and Michelle's rear end to pass through at the same time? Inquiring minds want to know!

I think a statue of liberty sized statue of him taking a leak would be perfect. He could be standing over a vast open plaza that has the US constitution engraved in the pavement he’s pissing on.

I’ll nominate him for a Statue of Awfulness

"We commission a Statue of Awesomeness to be built and paid for by Norway"

Since the statue would pay homage to Dear Leader's self-image, no nation on earth could - by themselves - afford the genital region

It is only unconstitutional to accept without congressional approval, something the gilded one will have no problem obtaining.

Hey! I like Captain Kirk, but that is an appropriate picture.

“Ha! Ha! Suckers!” It matches His Awesomeness perfectly.

We commission a Statue of Awesomeness to be built and paid for by Norway.

This could be considered a political donation funneled through an American citizen, illegal. Norway would have to initiate this entirely on it's own. The statue must be gifted to the American People by Norway.

His Awesomeness could not request or receive the statue or direct or receive a monetary or value award from anyone above the gift limit, and the gift will remain in the White House after Zer0 leaves (unless stolen by a Clinton).

Pardon me, I’m going to gag.

You are correct. Bad wording on my part. Oops!

Obama the new Pope of the Church of Awesomeology? Better not let Eddie Spaghetti know about that.
