Van Susteren: Obama “needlessly dividing the country” by putting Tubman on the $20 bill

The worst part ? In accordance with The Narrative, the Tubman Twenty will only be worth $15.40. . . .

[Tallguy]

Same here. Put Tubman on the $20 and drop the founder of the Democrat party. And while we’re at it, let’s egg on the radicals at Princeton U who want Woodrow Wilson’s name taken down. Wonder how long it will take today’s Democrats to figure out that they are shooting themselves in the foot?

“The currency change is one more “in yo face mo fo.”

THAT is exactly what it is. If this change would have been done under a different administration, I likely wouldn’t have had any issue with it. I will refuse to use this Obama money. It will likely get the nickname of N**ger money.

[BubbaBasher]

Whether you think it’s a good idea or not, this is the race-baiters way of keeping the slavery issue alive. This is definitely an in-your-face move to keep the blacks perpetually agitated.

[Gator113]

Ditto.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Agreed. The bottom is now on top. That is why morals seem “inverted.” Many have complained about the “inversion.”

[proud American in Canada]

I nominate this for post of the decade!

[Carry me back]

Agree, the govt likes to stir the pot. They do it continually. They always pretend they are the champions of some cause.

[Savage Rider]

The treasury just wants people to hoard Jackson $20 bills as souvenirs so their money inflation printing can continue.

[teeman8r]

It’s not what’s on the money, it’s what is happening to the face value of the money

[Osage Orange]

Jackson, spoke like a this day and age real Conservative.

FWIW-

[Rapscallion]

In protest to the pandering I will return all twenties to the bank as deposits to my checking account.

[Osage Orange]

How about never....

[LaRueLaDue]

I haven’t seen this question anywhere yet, so I will ask it:

How much will it cost to make this change?

Seems to me simple economics that it would be cheaper and easier just to leave things as they are. We are bankrupt: why incur more needless, pointless, useless expenses than we already are?

[reg45]

It won't cost that much. Paper money is routinely redesigned every few years as a hindrance to counterfeiting.

[Doogle]

.....that’s what usurpers with NPD do when feeling inadequate

[piytar]

Van Susterern:

Yup, but the right (who is generally far more educated about history) is GOOD with this concept.

It’s the left whose heads are exploding.

And I LOVE it!

#HALF-black presidents matter

---

And the half that is black is African black, no relation to USA at all, no slavery ancestry...that fact should have caused more blacks to criticize him and our side to rail against him, but our representatives are milquetoasts.

[hal ogen]

They aren’t “milquetoasts”...they are “Traitors to their Electorate”.

[thirst4truth]

I don't know if it will keep them agitated. What will agitate them is when it is explained to them that their messiah changed the picture from the founder of the dem party to a Black Republican woman who fought slavery with the Republicans and was a gun owner.

I think he has opened a fantastic educational moment for our history, probably without a clue.
