Would you like a picture of you as seen in reply #67 to be on every front page in America?
Anyway maybe they can't change where he holds press conferences, due to logistical reasons. That statue is another FDR legacy, I could do without.
I wouldn't want my picture on the front page of every paper, but if it was, the statue wouldn't bother me. If it did, I'd just move the podium.

That is a possibility, but I doubt something as trivial as moving a podium is impossible.

I'd prefer to work on undoing FDR's influence in government policy first, and worry about this statue later.
They left me with an upbeat mood about the building, and by association the Justice Department. I like good art, and I note that the artist, Gutzon Borglum who carved Mt. Rushmore left plenty of bare female secondary sexual characteristics in the open in a few of his breathtaking sculptures he did before age sixty when he started his last great piece of enormous scale in South Dakota.
I don't want to go look at elephant dung, or jars of urine in some art that has been controversial lately; but I also don't want to see art become the commercial grade, cleansed product that used to make me want to throw-up whenever I saw Soviet or Nazi enforced standards present in their art.
No, I have a bad feeling about this, as I do about the art BYU had redone on campus to show historic Mormon figures without their beards because the students were not allowed facial hair either.
