arriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson as the face of the $20 bill, and Jackson will be moved to the back of the bill alongside an image of the White House, Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said Wednesday.

Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first Treasury secretary, will remain on the front of the $10 bill, but the back of that bill, which currently bears an image of the Treasury building, will feature leaders of the suffrage movement.

The reverse of the $5 bill will be overhauled to include opera singer Marian Anderson, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr
Lew said the designs of all three bills are slated to be completed and unveiled by 2020, the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

Looks like we are going with a black meme. Fitting coming from Obie, surprising he didn't pick a prominent muslim.

Why mess around? We should just go full banana-republic and put Obola on all our currency.

Rumor: they're movoing Andrew Jackson to the back of the $5.

This new $5 bill will now be known as the Jackson Five.

My daughter dressed up as Harriet Tubman when she was probably 7. That was when W was president. Blackface — the whole deal.

I thought it was fantastic. It actually didn’t occur to me that it was “bad”. Tubman was a famous American, my daughter liked her, wanted to dress up as her. So she did. No big deal.

Obama, on the other hand, is thinking about the race, race, race, screw whitey, race, race, race, I hate whitey, race, race, race.

What is wrong with putting Michelle’s face on a $5 and maybe Obama’s on a $3?

I needed a new monitor anyway. I'll never get the Diet Coke off of this one. :D

What a waste of money. Just throw it away on stupid crap like this. We need to put our govt on a strict austerity budget. No wasteful spending on stoopid stuff!

"What is wrong with putting Michelle’s face on a $5 and maybe Obama’s on a $3?"

More appropriate to put Obama on the trillion dollar bill. (Which will be the price of a burger and fries soon.)

It would not surprise me if he did that as a parting shot.
Obama would love to stamp his mug on our currency, forcing Americans to look at his visage day after day.

Next, they will nominate Margaret Sanger the racist who founded Planned Parenthood to kill black babies.
