Obama on Mt. Rushmore?

[underpants]

To rid the world of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi within six months: if Obama were a Republican, he'd be on Mount Rushmore by now.

1. Nah... Timmy Geithner on Mt. Rushmore is the way to go nt

[Surya Gayatri]

9. Oh, jeez, give it a rest, will ya' Manny?

Your anti-everything snark re Obama is barely relevant, much less funny.

[MannyGoldstein]

11. At least Timmy agrees with me, I'll bet. nt

2. rec

3. Offing those three means all of jack shit in the big picture.

Other then being able to pat himself on the back, killing those guys doesn't do shit for the average American.

[jenmito]

5. Tell it to the relatives of the Americans that died on the Pan Am 103 flight who were

on TV today talking about how happy they are about this and how they credited Obama for it along with all the relatives of those killed on 9/11.

[Arctic Dave]

6. And by next week mo one will remember a word they said.

Hell, you would have been lucky to find ten people under thirty that ever heard of PanAm 103.

[jenmito]

7. The families and those who care will remember.. n/t

[Arctic Dave]

23. Yep. Like I said, another vague footnote in time.

Accomplishing nothing.

[JuniperLea]

25. That's pretty weak tea...

Bilgewater is at least honest.

Save your agita for when Obama actually does something you can complain about. He didn't do this, so...

[CakeGrrl]

16. +1000. I wish I could see that poster say that to the faces of

the families and friends of the victims of the terrorist acts / atrocities masterminded by these men.

But hey, if it doesn't help "the average American", who really cares?

:eyes:

[TygrBright]

4. How about NOTHING on "Mount Rushmore," since it is in fact a sacred site stolen from First Americans

And since each of the faces currently on the monument is the face of someone who stole from, betrayed, lied to, or otherwise damaged First Americans, their land, their sovereignty, and/or their human rights.

The best possible thing that could happen to that abomination would be to hand it back to the Sioux with profound apologies and allow them to do whatever they want with it.

Not to perpetuate the outrage further.

irritatedly,
Bright

13. +10000 n/t

[Mendocino]

8. Mount Eyesore

By KKK member Gutzon Borglum. No thanks, I'll hope for a earthquake or an avalanche.

[Surya Gayatri]

10. K & R n/t

[Number23]

12. The man is simply a BEAST when it comes to foreign policy

He may get beaten up for his economic stances (and I'm not sure that he shouldn't) but his foreign policy successes are simply unreal.

[Ter]

18. Like 6 wars at once

Or is it 7 now?

[Number23]

20. You seem confused. About more than one thing, apparently.

[MisterP]

14. Sullivan's just wet that we have a Michael instead of a Fredo--still a Corleone

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. if he would just imprison Cheney!

[Ter]

17. People are rec-ing this?

Obama only belongs at Mt. Rushmore as a tourist. The rebels rid the world of Qadaffi, not Obama.

[totodeinhere]

19. Obama did not rid the world of Qaddafi. The Libyan people did with the help

of NATO. And if the Arab Spring uprisings, which Obama did not start, had not happened and inspired the people of Libya to revolt then Qaddafi would still be alive and in power today. Yes, the USA was a part of the coalition that helped the people overthrow Qaddafi. But Sarkosy and Cameron were more at the forefront getting NATO involved.

[ClarkUSA]

21. The NATO mission would have failed without the U.S. military's technological expertise.

Ever wonder why EU nations can afford to national healthcare? It's because Americans underwrite a huge chunk of their defense costs and supply technological expertise and tech hardware our NATO allies lack.

So, yes, in a very real way, President Obama committed action to ridding the world of Gaddafi. Of course, he did not pull the trigger and gave ample credit to both his NATO allies and the Libyan people today in his public WH statement.

[ellisonz]

22. But he is...

[Phx_Dem]

24. He deserves to be there. He's done more in his first term than most

presidents do in two terms.

[JoePhilly]

26. We should propose that just to drive the right wing insane.

[LittleBlue]

27. Not sure if serious

[opihimoimoi]

28. They gonna do it......Maybe on DIAMOND HEAD....??? HAWAII???

[RFKHumphreyObama]

29. He will go down in history as one of the greats

The haters will continue to hate and the professional left will continue to whine themselves into irrelevancy but the achievements of this President in domestic and foreign policy will be fondly remembered by generations to come
