Should Obama's Face Be Added To Mount Rushmore??

Cybercubed · 15-01-2012 07:56PM #1

Does anyone here think Obama's face should be added to the top of Mount Rushmore??

First of all the guy his presidency is historic and the guy simply gives amazing speeches. The guy is ludicrously popular around the world, especially here in Ireland where people were almost in tears when he won. He maybe can even eclipse Mandela, Ghandi, Martin Luther King and become the most historic figure to the human race of all time. Everywhere I go around university everyone simply adores him.

I mean he did win the Nobel Peace Prize afterall so I'm just thinking this might be next right??

He's been a poor president. Stick FDR's head up on it and ye'd be talking sense.

As long as its not in O connell street near Danny boy they can stick em where they like,

joshrogan · 15-01-2012 08:08PM

No, he'll be remembered as the first black president and that is it, didn't do anything particularly noteworthy during his term in office, oh unless you count the inevitable capture of Osama or the healthcare debacle that the majority of Americans did not want.

Sure isn't it a natural wonder of the world... ya can't go messing with it

Hes not as popular in the us as he is around the world with other countries. He may be good at speeches,but so were most of the other presidents, so why should he be on the mt. and not jfk or roosevelt etc?

Actually strike that, he deserves a spot for that reason.

Kennedy shuck up the establishment.... He was the last us president to press Israel on the nuclear issue too.

Big mistake...

Killer Wench · 15-01-2012 08:24PM

Considering that he has a very light complexion, the comments about "not being black enough" are just plain dumb and ridiculous.

As to the Mount Rushmore, I would go see it but I would not support any further developments to the mountain. I have friends who are Lakota and Dakota and those mountains and hills belong to them per the Ft. Laramie Treaty. No matter how much the government has paid for them, that monument represents another broken promise made by the federal government to Indian people.

He was shot in the head.

Would you then have to paint it to match his skin colour?

If he made speeches like that... yes :pac:

philologos · 15-01-2012 08:30PM

For the record I still don't know why he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Anyhow, the reasoning behind why Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt were on there is given as follows:

Between October 4, 1927, and October 31, 1941, Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers sculpted the colossal 60 foot (18 m) high carvings of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln to represent the first 150 years of American history. These presidents were selected by Borglum because of their role in preserving the Republic and expanding its territory

OP forgot the "This is stupid" option

The fact that such a 'historic' president is in danger of being a one-term president says it all really - just shows that he has done absolutely nothing of note. Just the fact that people are speaking of Romney as a credible challenger (whether that will actually come to pass or not) shows how disappointing Obama's tenure has been. Obama's apologists would blame Republicans in Congress for using blocking tactics, but he is the president and it is his job to overcome that kind of thing . In that respect he has spectacularly failed.

Sindri · 15-01-2012 08:57PM

^^^ Says it all really.

I think its very annoying that every single time he gives a speech on anything, its over-killed with rhetoric - could you imagine if someone you knew was that annoying!

Personally, no. He has been a "solidish" president with some good points but some bad ones too. Nothing ground breaking.

First of all the guy his presidency is historic and the guy simply gives amazing speeches.

Kennedy, Reagan, and Clinton were very good speakers and they're not on the mount. You have to be incredibly accomplished in domestic and foreign policy and to go down well among the public and history.

The guy is ludicrously popular around the world

Not quite. He isn't that popular especially at home.

He maybe can even eclipse Mandela, Ghandi, Martin Luther King and become the most historic figure to the human race of all time.

Debatable but I can't see it.

Everywhere I go around university everyone simply adores him.

What University?
