Honk Honk...

Tuesday on CNN, host Don Lemon said President Barack Obama should be added to the Mount Rushmore sculptures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.

While discussing a California couple charged for painting over a “Black Lives Matter” mural, Lemon said, “You see the right-wing machine kick in, media kick in and see Trump’s poll numbers go south. They kick in with Democratic cities are in chaos right now. Is this what you want from Joe Biden? And they are taking your country away sand they are going to take down statues. Crime is rising. It’s so bad. Oh my, defund police. And the people who you saw there for the most part —not specifically, as a whole, fall for it. They fall for it. That’s why they do things like that. They want to paint over signs and think it’s our country. This is the country that we built. Even though a rich diversity of people helped build the country, and many of us, meaning ancestors, for free — did not get paid for it, could not get an education, could not build wealth, are not on statues, Confederate or otherwise, are not on Mount Rushmore. I think, listen … if they are going to put someone on Mount Rushmore, considering the history of the country, the first black president should be front and center.

I’m hoping they put Obama’s picture up at the Post Office instead.

Why would we add a very mediocre president to Mt. Rushmore? He did nothing of significance while he was in office but hurt the country in multiple ways.

First black president-- Wow he achieved that the second he got sworn in. Pretty telling that that's Obama's most important accomplishment in an 8 year term, right lemon?

MIXED president.

Which should have been a point of pride and unity, btw.

But nah, identity politics, right Donny boy?

Obama isn’t fit to shine the shoes of any of those giants of history on Rushmore. He’s a stain on American history and should be treated as such.

Furthermore, just from a practical standpoint, I’m not even sure there are people still around that could even begin to do a project like that.
