'If Teddy Roosevelt is the measure, I think it strengthens the case for President Obama'
Al Sharpton aired a segment concerning a recent National Journal article which analyzed President Obama’s chances of attaining a coveted spot on Mt. Rushmore Friday evening on MSNBC. Teddy Roosevelt’s presence on the landmark garnered particular attention from Sharpton, who expressed his opinion that Roosevelt’s thin resume as a “transformative president” strengthens the case for Obama to be included:
ABBY HUNTSMAN: You look at Reagan, he ended the Cold War. I think they have to have a legacy that changed America. Obama was the first black president. That is something that will always be remembered.AL SHARPTON: And he stopped two wars and the whole question of finance reform on Wall Street and health care. I mean, he has done some concrete things. I can, again, the reason I raised Teddy Roosevelt is that a lot of people could say that Teddy Roosevelt was more of a character than a transformative president. I can name, literally, things that President Obama has done. Now, I’m going to say that if Teddy Roosevelt is the measure, I think it strengthens the case for President Obama.
Teddy Roosevelt is credited with accomplishments such as completing the Panama Canal and establishing the National Parks system. Historians typically rank Roosevelt among the top five greatest presidents.
Is Al Sharpton able to manage 1st grade level grammar?
Yeah. Lets dynamite Abe Lincoln and put up President Unprecedented Pretentiousness.
That’s a great idea.
And maybe we could carve the clenis’ curly-q dork on George Washingon’s forehead.
First they need to blast off the statues of those racist honkies. /s
The only thing worse than a white fool is a black fisheyed fool. Time man of the year twice, nobel peace prize and now MtRushmore. Forcing the people into believing we have a legend on our hands. I say give him his statue! Ina town overrun by pigeons so they can sh## on him for eternity
Obama has surpassed JFK as the Dems beau ideal.
Camelot is already taken. Look for them to find some similar mystic aura to place around Obama.
[And ‘we’ thought those styrofoam Greek columns in 2008 were fake.]
It will be blown up within days after the last chisel stroke.
Obama needs a mountain all to his own - Mt Barfmore.
I’d rather see it destroyed, than allow that POS’s face to be put there.
That would take an immense amount of money, and harm the environment.
Perhaps a Sharpie drawing on the wall of the mens room at an I-80 Rest Area in Illinois would be more in line.
Well, the Taliban are into blowing up statues and Obama does seem to have an affinity for them...
is sharpton suggesting the demise of Obie, I thought presidents had to be dead before they are memorialized?
He has the same qualifications he did the day he won the Nobel Peace Prize from a box of Cracker Jacks.
How about a life size statue made out of bovine excrement?
Eco-friendly and recyclable to boot!!
Regards.
Only in America can an absolute idiot like Al Sharpton be given the chances in life that he doesn’t deserve and be a media presence as well. These are the type of people the establishment GOP wants to find common ground with?
Upon Arrival it will be hauled into position at the top Mount Rushmore.
Skilled artisans will then begin the long task of carving likenesses of our
beloved 44th President, Barack Obama, and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Sharptown might as well suggest taking Lincoln out of the Lincoln Memorial and put a giant Obama in the seat instead.

They will have to provide 24/7 SS protection to that statue.
..needs a whole new mountain
