Groupon Celebrates Presidents Day by Honoring Alexander Hamilton (Idiots think he was president!)

Market Watch ^ | February 14, 2014

[2ndDivisionVet]

Starting tomorrow, Groupon ( www.groupon.com ) (NASDAQ: GRPN) will be kicking off Presidents Day weekend by giving customers 10 dollars off 40 dollars when they purchase a deal for any local business. The $10 bill, as everyone knows, features President Alexander Hamilton -- undeniably one of our greatest presidents and most widely recognized for establishing the country’s financial system.

Beginning Saturday, Feb. 15 at 9 am CST, shoppers will be able to redeem this offer by using the promo code “10OFF40LOCAL”, which isn’t very catchy, but neither was President Hamilton’s famous saying, “nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.” (continued)

"Actually, Arnold ran as a Federalist. Maybe he was a FINO."

"Lobster tail and beer. My three favorites."

"I thought Daniel Boone was a great president also."

------------------------------->

His vice president was Davy Crockett (who was also "king of the wild frontier").

I always forget - was it before or after CC ll that Lafayette was pres...?

[Publius]

Lafayette was born in France. He could not become president until 2008 when the new precedent was set.

[windcliff]

I would like a Boone/Crockett ticket.

[mikrofon]

But Obama's a GAZILLION times better than anyone else so far ...

[Conspiracy Guy]

I did too. But I have a vivid immagination.

Hamilton is the only guy (that I know of) on our money not born in the USA or American colonies that became the USA..he was born in the Caribbean on Nevis

[catnipman]

“Cool, next we can get a discount for the president that discovered electricity with that kite!”

I can’t believe they’re not honoring President Gore for his invention of the Internet; after all, Groupon wouldn’t exist without the Internet.

[NoCmpromiz]

twice as good as Grant, five times as good as Jackson, ten times as good as Hamilton, 20 times as good as Lincoln and a hundred times as good as Washington.

If true, what does that make Salmon P. Chase?

[Publius]

An abolitionist senator from Ohio who served in Lincoln’s cabinet at Treasury, schemed against him and got kicked upstairs to Chief Justice?

Well...

Yes.

And just as presidential as President Hamilton.. ;-)

[Loud Mime]

I thought Daniel Boone invested in international shipping. He had a harbor with docks named after him.

[Loud Mime]

he was born in the Caribbean on Nevis

I think he was born on the island. ;)

[eddie willers]

One of the best presidents we never had. Ben Franklin was even better

Damn right!

That's why he's on the $100 bill.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Nope. It was Abraham Lincoln who was the first “black” president. That’s what a lot of his critics called him.

Wasn’t Eleanor Roosevelt the first woman president? She filled in for Franklin when he died until the next election.

I lerned that at schol, you no.

[onedoug]

Crockett/Boone. Great Presidents, ‘cept Davy was kilt at the Alamo and Boone had to take his place. Awful tragedy. But Boone encouraged American hunting, even more than Crockett would’ve some sixty years later.

[Praxeologue]

but it sure comes across as a tongue in cheek joke to me

Presidents' Day, or any day, is not the time to mock the intelligence of the average American. It is an elitist endeavor. It's not the average Joe's fault that John Dewey's followers dumbed him down.

[Rodamala]

10 times better than Tom Jefferson... but he was only 1/5 the man that Steve Cleveland was.

[xp38]

A mere piker compared to Wilson! He also starred in that Cast Away movie.
