'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 Obamas chances of attaining a coveted spot on Mt. Rushmore Friday evening on MSNBC. Teddy Roosevelts presence on the landmark garnered particular attention from Sharpton, who expressed his opinion that Roosevelts 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, Im 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
“Is there enough rock/room for such a big head?”
head yes EARS No way.
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 Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood beat us to it.
Al Sharpton owes his “career” longevity to his protected-class status.
Sure...we can put him on the backside as the butt.
How about Mt. Douchemore?
0bama is ready for Mount Olympus.
Mt. Rushmore??? heck I figure they will erect a 275 ft tall italian marble sculpture of the one right at the end of the reflecting pool in the District of Criminals. after he retires from office in 2030!
Maybe something easier , a smaller project .. maybe he should be on a postage stamp or a coin...
I won’t honor in any way Wee-Wee Herman!!!
President Nigcom already has a head made out of stone.
i wouldn’t let either of the SOBs wipe my A**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ready for mt rushmore...sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heeeeeeeehll Nah
Zer0 can be on the Trillion $ coin.
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?”
“Civil rights leader and MSNB-Hee Haw host Al Sharpton - Larry Elder
As long as whtey kowtows to their demands, they pretty much will get whatever they want.
Al should be up there to represent the “civil rights” phase of America’s fall into stupid and evil.
