(Al) Sharpton: Is Obama Ready for Mt. Rushmore?
Washington Free Beacon ^ | January 11, 2013

Posted on 01/12/2013 1:47:28 PM PST by Zakeet

'If Teddy Roosevelt is the measure, I think it strengthens the case for President Obama'

Al Sharpton aired a segment concerning a recent National Journal article which analyzed President Obama’s chances of attaining a coveted spot on Mt. Rushmore Friday evening on MSNBC. Teddy Roosevelt’s presence on the landmark garnered particular attention from Sharpton, who expressed his opinion that Roosevelt’s thin resume as a “transformative president” strengthens the case for Obama to be included:

ABBY HUNTSMAN: You look at Reagan, he ended the Cold War. I think they have to have a legacy that changed America. Obama was the first black president. That is something that will always be remembered.

AL SHARPTON: And he stopped two wars and the whole question of finance reform on Wall Street and health care. I mean, he has done some concrete things. I can, again, the reason I raised Teddy Roosevelt is that a lot of people could say that Teddy Roosevelt was more of a character than a transformative president. I can name, literally, things that President Obama has done. Now, I’m going to say that if Teddy Roosevelt is the measure, I think it strengthens the case for President Obama.

Teddy Roosevelt is credited with accomplishments such as completing the Panama Canal and establishing the National Parks system. Historians typically rank Roosevelt among the top five greatest presidents.

What they can do is make a similar sculpture on a man made mountain.
Believe the one in Norfolk/Virginia Beach area is called Mount Trashmore, a mountain formed out of a landfill.

We can get some artist like Crisco to form a sculpture out of the garbage, a fitting monument to BO and maybe, in honor of both, add Jesse J and Al S to flank BO....

Of course BO fans will liken it to Jesus’ crucifixion, and once they do that we will be able to say complete with being flanked by two thieves

I have to agree with Empireoftheatom48. Your title should have been “Al Sharpton (Super Barf Warning Don’t Click on this link - No really, I mean it)”.

Al Sharpton owes his “career” longevity to his protected-class status.

I would have loved to have been able to respond to Sharpton.

“well Obama’s main accomplishment - his only accomplishment really - is being born half-black. Actually that is his parent’s accomplishment and not his. In case I missed it what has Obama ever accomplished over his lifetime?”

There's probably plenty of room at the bottom for an ass.
