"So what they are going to do is make you scared of me. You know he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like those other presidents on the dollar bills."Apart from the pesky, inconvenient fact that he's not yet president, Senator Obama certainly has a high opinion of himself, doesn't he? If we take him literally, he's comparing himself to Gerorge Washington, the president featured on the dollar bill. Let's see, Abraham Lincoln's on the five, and Thomas Jefferson's on the twenty.
That's pretty impressive company for someone with zero executive experience, and no significant legislative accomplishments to speak of either. Apparently, this guy thinks so as well, and does a handy comparison of the comparer with the comparees:
Barry, you ARE right about one thing. You aren’t like the “other presidents on the dollar bills.”
Who are the other presidents? Well, the one president on the dollar bill is, of course, George Washington. Some other presidents on other bills include Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson. Of course, not all bills have presidents. Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin come to mind.
Let’s have a gander at some of their life stories, shall we?
To be fair, since Obama has never been elected president, why don’t we begin with another never elected president: Alexander Hamilton.
It's a good read. Read it all here.
