RE: Me likey, me likey a lot many!
OLB said I brought up monuments to Obama. I did.

If it didn't bother him why make a very horrible joke to downplay his significance?

No, what a rational person would say is, "Good for him".  That is not what he did, which says to me he IS uncomfortable with Obama having a monument to him.

Obama is not a cheap novelty like a "Chia Pet", that would be Trump, not Obama.

And I said I passed on it.


In case you never pay attention - I VOTED for President Obama - and think He's a pretty good guy.....


But - if screaming is your thing - have at it..

Sorry, but considering the climate right now, I didn't find your joke funny.

We have an orange asshole right now kissing up to dictators and vilifying our allies at the same time. An asshole who panders to the very people who'd think your "joke" was a lagit criticism and not merely a joke. An asshole who has supporters who hate Obama for no good reason. 

Next time you attempt humor like that don't simply leave it at text. That was  a piss poor attempt at South Park Humor.

Make it more clear, work on your delivery.

Nope sorry, that was simply poor taste. And you are talking to a Dave Shappelle and South Park, Simpsons and Family Guy fan.

A better line might have been, "What do you mean we cant have statues of Hitler?"  And follow it up with an emoji indicating your sarcasm.

Quote:He is deserving of a monument.

I couldn't agree more.  I did a quick search on Wikipedia and found out that Barack Obama has the following named after him:

-13 species of animal

-1 species of lichen

-18 schools

-14 streets (and one pending)

-1 mountain

-1 plaza

-3 holidays

-1 public library (pending)

-an indeterminate number of Chia Pets

I think he's doing rather well.

After twenty years in SC I can't think of anywhere progressive enough for that yet...unless they put up a statue with him in butler attire. 


I would be less surprised to see a statue of Darius Rucker in the Five Points area of Columbia.

RE: Me likey, me likey a lot many!
Interesting discussion over dinner ---

Does a President maintain any rights over his personal image?

Shouldn't the ChiaPet people owe President Obama a buck or two for use of that image?

Where in law is it codified that a public figure waives his/ her right to that image?


I say the ChiaPet pricks owe the man a paycheck....
