Liberals Seek Spot for Obama on Mount Rushmore

-Satire-

Buoyed by the astounding triumph of anti-W. hysteria over good old-fashioned sanity in Oslo, Norway, a trifecta of liberal intellectuals has launched a campaign to add the face of Barack Obama to that of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln at the Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and the president himself have pooled their political clout in petitioning those responsible for the General Management Plan at Mount Rushmore to include Obama in future plans.

Details concerning this highly unusual effort are included in a letter forwarded to Mount Rushmore management early Sunday morning, but which is unavailable for review by the public because of national security concerns.

Although homeland security prevented her from divulging all of the exact details of the letter, Speaker Pelosi defended the action with this press announcement:

“Rarely are we blessed with the presence of a leader who is so extraordinarily gifted, inspirational, and humane as our young and vibrant president, Barack Obama.

“His type comes along but once in a lifetime, and we thank God that President Obama was sent at this crucial time in world history to heal the divisions fostered by his most recent predecessor.

“Because our president has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his first eleven days in office, leaders of the progressive movement have concluded that immediate action should be begin to enshrine the face of President Obama alongside the faces of four dead white guys whose names escape me at the moment, at the Mount Rushmore Memorial in South Dakota.

“We understand that some may see this action as premature and partisan. However, let me reassure the American public that Harry Reid, President Obama, and I have gone to extraordinary lengths to be objective, even skeptical, of this proposal when it was first aired.

“While we recognize that the rock at Mount Rushmore is a light-colored granite, we take pride in noting that the Memorial is in the Black Hills of South Dakota, perfect for a nation committed to diversity and inclusion.

“Still, some will ask, “Why now?â€

I think I am going to be sick. This better not happen. He is not a president he is a traitor to our country. Traitors deserve no place with historic presidents. The only historic thing he has done was to become the first half black man to be elected. Sorry, that doesn't count, To be half black and an outstanding prez would count, but that itsn't him. Plus, these are historic monuments. This isn't communist China or Iraq where monuments are bulilt to worship a standing leader. We do not bow down to craven images in this country, yet!!!!!!!!!

AS7 - Things are really SO wacky and crazy anymore, that under the circumstances, maybe the "satire" warning above needs to be in big, bold print. I swear I've read so many things recently that I initially thought were jokes, and they turn out to be true, that I'm ready to believe almost anything!!

Sorry.. I'll keep that in mind but I do know what you mean

Why not? Mt Rushmore seems most appropriate since Obama is the Rushmore president. Rushmore stimulus bills through. Rushmore towards socialism. Rushmore towards national bankruptcy. Rushmore illegal aliens into the country. Rushmore illegal aliens into ACORN. Rushmore illegal aliens into voting booths. Rushmore apologies for America to the world. Rushmore nut cases into phony Czar positions. Rushmore US citizens into unemployment. Rushmore US citizens into poverty. Rushmore citizens into nationalized health care. Rushmore illegal aliens into nationalized health care.

And most important of all, Mt Rushmore is located in the Black Hills.

Reagan should be added if anyone is added

Knowing that his arrogance has no bounds, this seems like it could be believable story.

4thhorseman, I LOVE how you put it. Made my day. Rushmore.

There isn't enough room on that mountain for Oblahblah's EARS!!!!!
