Which White Guy Should Obama Replace When We Honor Him on Our Currency?
Slate ^ | April 20, 2016 | Ben Mathis-Lilley

In a triumph of common sense, historical awareness, and crazed enthusiasm for a Broadway rap musical, the Treasury Department has announced that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, which will void a previous decision to take Alexander "Hamilton" Hamilton off the $10. (Update, 4:45 p.m.: Treasury says there will still be some sort of image of Jackson on the back of the bill.) This is great news, and it brings up another important question: Which historical figure should our current president, Barack Hussein Obama, replace when we honor his legacy by putting him on an item of currency?

Leave our currency alone. The last time the mint touched it, it made the paper look burnt. Now dimes feel like the toy change in Europe.


Dems burned that bridge. I say put Reagan on the $10 now. Imagine the angst among liberals when that happens! LOL.

The new 100 Trillion dollar note, because if we ever get to a point where they country is such a socialist cesspool that Obama would be put on a bill, then I’m guessing all the endless currency printing to pay for the socialist boondoggles and interest on the debt will have led to such hyper-inflation where 100 Trillion will be worth about what $5 now... (think it can’t happen, look up Zimbabwe.)

He can just replace the face on one of the coins that the Franklin Mint makes.

I expected to see that this article was from The Onion. Alas, no such finding. What institution will the Left leave untouched? Sadly, likely none.

Two phrases that never will be uttered:

I really miss Jimmy Carter as president.

I really miss Barack Obama as pres(id)ent.

I suspect he wants himself on the one dollar bill, to replace George Washington AND because it is one of the few bills to stay in circulation as the war on cash clamps down. No point in putting your face on 50s or 100s if no one will see them.

That will obviously happen. It’s not going to happen anytime soon, so drop the subject.

None. We should issue invalid $3 bills with his picture.
