For what it’s worth, here’s my take on it...
If it was ANY other administration, and the idea had been in the planning for a long time, with public discourse, etc., it wouldn’t bother me.
But this is about political correctness, and it’s about slowly erasing American history and replacing it with something else. It’s about this lame duck assh*le ramming things through at the end of term, just to stick it our faces.
Got nothing against Tubman. She was an American who had her place in history, in her time, just as Jackson did.
My problem is with who’s forcing this issue.
Anything done can be undone.
I thought that Tubman was the best choice if they were going to add a woman to paper currency (she was a true hero, and as brave as they come; Susan B. Anthony would be good, too, but she already had her chance and Treasury blew it for her by giving her that nearly quarter-sized dollar coin), and the populist rabblerouser Andrew Jackson (whose main achievements were winning a battle after we already had agreed to a ceasefire, relocating Indians to Oklahoma, and founding the most destructive political party in U.S. history) was the obvious choice to be replaced. Alexander Hamilton should remain on the $10 bill.
Of course, I would have preferred for Ronald Reagan to go on the $20 and Tubman to go on the $50, with General Grant being given honorable discharge, but that wasn’t going to happen under Obama.
