Put him on the $3 bill, with Reagan.
-
Barack has only been president just over a month ... NOT quite enough time to determine if he has EARNED a place on any money etc .... Let's see how he does as a president ...
-
He needs to at least complete a term, first. He will probably get money with his picture on it anyway, just for being the first African American president, but he's gotta be a president for more than a couple months first. I mean, all other things being equal, how many of the 40+ presidents are on money? He's gotta be pretty impressive, I think. He's just got a boost up because of the 1st AA thing...
-
I don't think money should have people's faces on them while they're still alive, and certainly not while they're in office.
-
Even better: we've got commemorative plates. Now I can eat pasta off of Obama's face, just like I've always dreamed of doing.
-
Money is called the Dead President's club because that's the one requirement. They have to be dearly departed before their face can grace the coin of the realm.

it was jan 20th

Heck no! He hasn't done anything for our nation via his presidency yet! If we coined and printed the face of every president that made a small historical marking then every president should be printed and coind just because they were a president.
-
I think we should judge a man by his deeds and not by the color of his skin. If Obama becomes a president to be in the same category as those on our currency then great put him on some currency.
-
Let's wait fifty years and see how his presidency looks with a little historical perspective.

No. Why lower the value of our money even more. :-)
-
I wonder - why is he the first African American president when he is only 1/2 black.
-
Yes, they should make a $25.00 bill with his face on it. HOW KEWL!!
-
No. That's an honor that one has to earn. Presidents must prove themselves before they are accorded such a distinction. Just winning an election and being black just don't seem like big enough accomplishments to me.
