If this one doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what to say…
According to a survey of George Washington University professors, some 30 percent generally endorse the eventual addition of President Barack Obama’s face to the Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
The survey, conducted and reported by The College Fix, is hampered by an extremely limited sample size. Nonetheless, the results are fascinating. Of the 10 history and political science profs queried, three suggested that Obama may eventually be added to the huge sculpture of four enormous presidential heads carved into the granite face of a mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Professor Paul Wahlbeck, who chairs the political science department at GW, apparently believes that Obama could become some sort of affirmative-action addition to the monument.

If there was EVER any doubt about the leanings of most college profs, it’s gone now…
My guess is if this happened the carving would end up with a few pock marks roughly 7.62 inches in diameter.
Duke- dammit man, THAT made me snort coffee… 😀
Only snort your coffee?
Heck, Ihad to change my underware after reading this.
LOL
I think we should get a number of his staff and cabinet up there with sledge hammers and chisels and get started right away.
IMHO they should be breaking rocks in the hot sun for the next 20 years.
Duke — YOU are the man.
Dude is the DUDE!
But GWU is a liberal, socialist college. What did you expect?
It wouldn’t surprise me if they try to do this, but I predict the work in progress will be halted by the outcome of his trial.
“If there was EVER any doubt about the leanings of most college profs…”
Hey, gimme a break. That may be true for the history/polisci/liberal arts types, but there’s a number of us business and engineering profs who are on the side of the angels… 🙂
Gerry- Damn you too… 😀
LL/CP- Yep!!!
Rev- One hopes!!!
Tim- Yeah, but y’all are outnumbered by the assholes!!!
You’ve seen the FB photo with the truck hauling the large boulder of coal for that purpose?
The old joke goes that as you go higher in higher education you learn more and more about less and less until you know everything about nothing. In calculus terms, the question is whether your knowledge converges on infinity or on zero.
This tends to remove a lot of doubt.
+1 Gerry
Ed- Point! 🙂
BP- Yep, it does, doesn’t it!
WSF- Yep!
If that ever even hits the planning stage, I’m gonna start taking night classes in rock blasting and rappelling.
What the hell?
Putting my hands in my pockets to keep my fingers from spewing the barrage of cuss words my brain is trying to tell them convince them to type.
words just fail me…….
Murph- Get in line…
Snigs- Heard that…
Bob- Me too!
I can only see this happening if Obama’s face is added to a lesser monument. Like a depiction of the Worst US Presidents carved into cheese.
Dear Lord- I just re-read my earlier comment. I swear I am more literate than it reads. Is “tired” a valid excuse? >.<
An ego that big? It’ll take a whole mountain.
Heck, the FIRST comment nailed things immediately!

Opus- LOL, agreed
Snigs- It is!!!
BZ- Yep!
Phhhhhffffffffttttttttt
Note that the sample size was 10. If I took a survey of 10 people around MY cube the results would be 100% against… Just sayin.
When the inevitable collapse of the credit rating happens, because the entitlements that are driving the whole problem aren’t being touched, as a temporary jobs project, we should put qualified laid-off government workers to work building the Architects Of The Financial Disaster monument, right on the front steps of the Capitol building.
There should be a statue of the President flanked by the Speaker of the House and Senate Majority leader (since that’s more important than Vice President/President of the Senate) responsible for the New Deal, The Great Society, and all the do-it-harder bailouts, standing with bowed heads in front of the accusatory pointing finger of Lady Liberty.
Craig- same here!!!
Tirno- Agreed! In spades!!!
I heard that on the radio as I was riding with one of my sons to a job. I said to him, “It won’t be a week before some old retired guy will roll up with a 105 howitzer and remove that particular piece of sh—, er graffiti from the wall”! But I want to be the guy to yank the lanyard if that is what they still do!
Ev- Oh, pick me, pick ME! 🙂
I want to tug the lanyard at least once myself
