boy, blacks must be a huge majority in this country one would think , rather than the little 13%....

I really think they should have featured OJ and omprah, and maybe a rapper or two...

And there is NO ONE from the gay rights agenda included, so that will be the next big protest.

I’d rather have General Patton on the $5 than MLK.

My choice would have been Ayn Rand.

I have a 25 guilder note I brought back from a trip to the Netherlands in the 1980s, which features a portrait of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, who is sort of their national composer. Our currency could feature portraits of Mark Twain, Chuck Berry, the works of Normal Rockwell, etc.

I would also like to be on the back of the $5 bill. I have been to the Lincoln Memorial, have an electrical engineering degree, worked for an aerospace company for 32 years, and am a husband, father, and grandfather. An opera singer is only an entertainer. Next they will put George Clooney and Susan Sarandon on the $5 bill.

The looneys are definitely running this country.

Put Reagan on the $1 then.

Nobody is going to put Reagan on any bill, $1 or otherwise.

Do you know the gets to make the decisions who to put on our money? Winners. That's who. And right now liberals are winning.

Reagan was a conservative and conservatives are not winning. Conservatives are losing.

And, of course, the new 3 dollar bill will depict Baraq Obama on the front and Reggie Love on the back . Obviously we’ll only be able to see the back of Reggie’s head.

You’ll see Reagan on the Polish Zloty before you’d see him on the US Dollar.

I don’t care if they put Bugs Bunny on the money as long as I can still spend it.

“Civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., famed opera singer Marian Anderson and first lady Eleanor Roosevelt will be depicted on the back of the updated $5 bill.”

Perhaps we can exchange: ‘first lady Eleanor Roosevelt’ for ‘first lady (and famous Star Wars character Chewbacca) Michelle Obama?’

Just a thought...

Actually, it should be a newly-implemented $500,000,000 bill for Mrs. Obama, because that is probably more in line with how much she has cost us in vacations and servants.
