Which White Guy Should Obama Replace When We Honor Him on Our Currency?
Slate ^ | April 20, 2016 | Ben Mathis-Lilley

In a triumph of common sense, historical awareness, and crazed enthusiasm for a Broadway rap musical, the Treasury Department has announced that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, which will void a previous decision to take Alexander "Hamilton" Hamilton off the $10. (Update, 4:45 p.m.: Treasury says there will still be some sort of image of Jackson on the back of the bill.) This is great news, and it brings up another important question: Which historical figure should our current president, Barack Hussein Obama, replace when we honor his legacy by putting him on an item of currency?

Wilson on the 100K would be fine with me with the reverse side showing the back of Maconnell’s and Boehner’s heads.

But in this case it's like reusing someone else's used toilet paper.

I suspect he wants himself on the one dollar bill, to replace George Washington AND because it is one of the few bills to stay in circulation as the war on cash clamps down. No point in putting your face on 50s or 100s if no one will see them.

Sounds good to me.

Then 5 minutes later, follow that up with another vote to do away with the $1 bill.

The Canonization of Obama has already begun even before he’s out of office.

The Left will demand schools, or any public buildings be named after him, and that his Birthday become a National Holiday. To oppose such would be racist.

To really honor Lord Foul’s legacy, there is truly only one possible way that could live up to the magnitude, and that would be a requirement to have his image printed on each and every single sheet of toilet paper used in America!

Why would we honor him?
He was a pretty lousy president, the country decayed under his administration, budgets were not made, debt went through the roof, progress in race relations took a step back.

Other than that there was nothing special about his administration.

I wouldn't consider it an honor. The $3 bill is a joke almost as old as the US Mint.

Obama should go on the inevitable 100 trillion dollar bill.
