What’s next? Putting Jimmy Carter up there? If Carter II, why not Carter I?

Since when do we honor “Below Average” presidents? Both devastated the economy with their liberal tax and spend programs. And before you liberals blame Bush, remember that Obama was in the Senate for 4 years and supported Bush’s reckless spending.

If he can stand up to the idiots in CONgress who want to destroy the economy I say start carving the granite.

He’s prompted hate-filled right-wing extremists to stock up on guns. He must be doing something right.

Wow, the trolls are out here in force today. Everything in the cartoon is true. And everything the trolls say, pretty much, false. The president is not a socialist by any definition. And so-called “Obamacare” was the biggest deficit reduction bill in the past four years, according to the CBO.

How can our health care be worse? Isn’t the government the same people that run the DMV?

His chosen handle is much more clever then yours, jealous much.Ah, so you’re a fan of Goldwater then? You would support his views on labor unions, the welfare state and his fight against the new deal legacy?AuH2O, don’t remind them of Obama’s past, he is the anointed one, he has made no errors and is omnipotent.

an intelligent president for a change! one who actually UNDERSTANDS what’s going on and what will make the country stronger for future generations instead of making the chosen few of the 1% stronger for their kids to inherit big bux at the expense of future generations!i hope he stays strong. he’s accomplished an amazing amount of foundation for the future. i don’t agree with everything he’s done/not done but he beats the crap outta the wasted 8 years that brought one of the strongest coutries ever to its knees. imagine what he could have accomplished if he didn’t have to negotiate with tantrum-throwing, whiny, self-centered children!y’know the ones… the ones in the states at the top of the ‘gimme’ list – yes, the republican states that are the biggest draws on the help line. look up the figures and facts!

Uhh………….Health care reform ~ All that seems to have done is to take full time jobs away from people. Oh and for the companies that aren’t reducing hours, it puts more money into the pockets of the insurance companies..Wasn’t it Bush who “saved the auto industry”? I clearly remember Bush making the announcements.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N5kRVfmMoEYep, doesn’t look like Obama to me..Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Then why are soldiers still dying over there? .Of course there’s the fact that Guantanamo Bay is still open (remember he “closed” that right away). He’s brought the US to the brink of civil war. Yet somehow he deserves to be up there? You’re kidding me.

Been there?Be difficult to work in a fifth head

I found AuH2O’s name to be kinda clever. It required some thought by the reader, and at least some by the originator.

“He’s been [following] Bush’s timetable for the wars in Iraq and Afganistan…”-Maybe Bush’s revised timetables, but originally the GWB administration planned for being done in months rather than around the decade mark.

There’s a reason why you old farts that get your world view from Fox News, Glenn Beck and Drudge are called Low information Voters.

Never

“…some pompous reference meant to imply regal power….”-No, his name refers to regal power over himself, no-one else. Claiming power over yourself isn’t exactly pompous.

I never cease to be amazed at how “dittoheads” especially, and other right-wing extremist can’t find a fact if chained to them, and cite everything they disagree with totally backassward. As Rush says, obfuscation and outright lies are the nearest thing to “godliness”, like himself.

There was talk a while back about putting Reagan on Rushmore as well.I hope they never change that monument.Obama will get his library. And Texas will write the history books.Respectfully,C.

“He doesn’t stand up to anyone, Rock—except maybe a policeman that he called stupid a couple years ago.”-He did a pretty effective job of standing up to the House Republicans at their Baltimore retreat in 2010 – so much that they haven’t invited him back. You can find other examples of Obama standing up to people/groups if you look, and can be objective and honest.

“… the vast majority of Americans who think that Obamacare is the biggest truckload of crapola ever to roll out of Washington.”-What vast majority is that? Do you mean this?: http://www.gallup.com/poll/155447/Americans-Issue-Split-Decision-Healthcare-Ruling.aspx[]…or this?: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/24/us-usa-campaign-healthcare-idUSBRE85N01M20120624[]…or this?: http://thedailybanter.com/2012/06/americans-hate-obamacare-while-loving-everything-about-it/[]…or do you just say “vast majority” to make it sound like a credible statistic?

And if you would just quit your neoconservative-socialist whining and BUY SOME HEALTH INSURANCE FROM A PRIVATE COMPANY LIKE A GOOD AMERICAN CAPITALIST the rest of us wouldn’t have to pay for your health care through our taxes.

But Obama never cared about the lives and treasure lost in Iraq anyway. It was Afghanistan that he called “the good war”. Under his “leadership”, we’ll see that effort go to naught also.-———————-Oh, like Bush/Cheney gave a flying helical fastener for the lives involved in their toy war. He couldn’t be BOTHERED to go after the guy who gave the orders to attack US, but he just HAD to go after the one that insulted his Daddy. And they couldn’t even be BOTHERED to put the costs of their war into the budget deficit.And it’s funny how the Republicans in Congress yelled and screamed when Obama actually stuck to the withdrawal plan. From their reactions you would have thought that he had just pulled a date out of thin air for the pullout, instead of following the plan of Their Lord and Savior Dubya.

In one stirp Bensen has mananged to trivialize the greatest four presidents in our history.

Insufficient room on Rushmore. A statue on the National Mall near the Lincoln Memorial would be cool.

And… BOOM, goes the right wing-nuts heads. LOL!

Saved the auto industry? Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne had this to say.“As part of our global expansion of the Jeep brand, there are some cars — that because of the price position in the market — can never be made in the U.S. and exported,” Marchionne told reporters on the sidelines of the North American International Auto Show. “We’re going to be announcing the first step in the globalization of Jeep (in China). There’s another one that’s going to come in Russia. These things are part of a natural process of expansion.”

The power of the pen. A picture is worth a thousand words.

“The Gallup poll you site, from last June, only says that it’s a 50/50 split on the Supreme Court ruling. The same organization, Gallup, 2 months later, said 60% of Americans thought Obamacare would make things worse for taxpayers, compered to 30% who that it would make things better for taxpayers. Same pollster. You lose.”-If you want to cal 60% a “vast majority”, that’s fine, though I disagree. I see it as simply a majority. Since there is no actual definition of what percentage defines a vast majority, we’ll just have to have differing opinions. But I did notice that you didn’t address my two other links that pointed out that even the Americans who say they don’t like the ACA like it’s contents. Sort of cancels out the disapproval, don’t you think? I believe you’d be better served by looking for truth and accuracy than a weapon that allows you to look down on someone who “lost”.

Aw hell no.

Ha, what a ficticious dream. Nice job on the healthcare bill, one that sucks the life out of business and actually raises the cost of healthcare considerably.

Having Obama up there is an abomination.
