    Barack and Mount Rushmore...Inevitable?
    Is this not one of the most monumental moments in American history....regarding Presidents at least? Should his face be engraved with the other 4 gentlemen already there? I t would be a hard sell to say no. The guy broke threw race relations in this country and has the world celebrating his victory. Should he be on Mount Rushmore or not?

    No, but believe the White Sox will no longer play in what is called Comisky Park. It will someday be called Obama Field.

      However, considering he has a better than even chance of becoming one of the top five Presidents of all-time, yes he should be engraved at Rushmore.

        Fish, if this guy pulls the US out of the Iraq war, fixes the economy, and stabilizes America. People will start asking this question. Just watch. You heard it here first. People will want Barack on Mount Rushmore.

          They have to finish up the Indian out there first though.........when will that be completed?

          They cannot start on the chin of Obama until the Indian is 100% completed......that's in their agreement.

              Doc, I voted McCain. I can just see where this is headed. Everyone is celebrating this election and the breakthrough of race. Mount Rushmore is next. Trust me. He cant do worse than Bush. It will get better because it cant get any worse. That is when people will want him on Mount Rushmore with the 4 white guys. Trust me.

                  I guess they want him on there just for being black. How about him doing something worthy first. It'll be hard to do anything worthy of being on Rushmore. How about putting Tiger Woods on ther too?

                      Great point, Seer. What did he do to warrant getting elected to President to the United States? Because he was black? Young? I know it wasnt his experience. What was it?

                          can only hope he'll be that good. At this point this is more silly than saying OJ Mayo is the next Jordan.

                            How is this more silly? Do you know who is on Mount Rushmore...and what have they done?

                              Yes, and I trust that you do too. So I'm not sure what you're getting at. You seem to be saying that it doesn't matter what he does; the he'll get on there because of the color of his skin, as long as he doesn't screw up too badly?

                              If that's your argument, you mgiht be right... I don't know.. maybe I'm missing something..

                                George Washington (1732–1799)
                                Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
                                Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
                                Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

                                These presidents were selected because of their role in preserving the Republic and expanding its territory

                                  You are correct, Doc. Now lets hear their accomplishments that warrant being put on Mount Rushmore. Lincoln freed the slaves...so we'll start there....

                                    I don't see him being on MT Rushmore unless they can find a way to keep it dark all year round... in the winter with some snow cover people might think he was being a true sell out
