Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not for or against this. I'm not big on national monuments. They're symbols to me. Nothing more. I'm all about the here and now. But some people do want Obama on Mount Rushmore.
Is there a case?
I'll play devil's advocate and point out a few things.
1) He may have saved the country from going into a second depression. We were in an ugly recession when he took over. Malls were uncharacteristically empty Christmas of '08. The economy started to improve almost immediately after he took office. We were out of the recession later in 2009. The economic numbers are far better today than when he took office.
2) He killed Bin Laden. Bush couldn't even locate him, and with all of Bush's efforts in Iraq, he'd pretty much let Bin Laden run free. Obama kept the hunt on Bin Laden and eventually got him.
3) First black president. That is a huge accomplishment in a nation with such a history of racism. Think of all the black people in America who never thought they'd see a black president. His election was certainly a magical moment in U.S. history based on that alone.
Again, I'm not for or against Obama on Mount Rushmore. I couldn't care less. Just thought it would make an interesting topic.
First black President. Get outta here. His dad abandoned him, moved out of country to avoid child support and his white grandparents raised and took care of him. Technically he is half white and half black. America has not elected a truly Black President. Not yet. I hope soon they do. A black Conservative Republican will be a blessing to America.
wait so obama ain't black but a black republican (uncle tom) is a real black man?
since when are people even considered half black in america?
Why would a black Republican be considered an Uncle Tom?
The party who opposed and fought to end slavery?
Why would a black man support the party of the KKK, aka The Democratic Party. A party who to this day practice 'the bigotry of low expectations' to manipulate minority voters, treating black people like children or pets.
A party who destroyed black communities through the creation of the welfare state, keeping poor blacks dependent on the state without ever attempting to meaningfully improve their circumstances.
Do you ever wonder why all the sh1thole cities in America have majority Democrat councils?
Stop being used by these people. Start reading great black political authors such as Thomas Sowell.
