We became a cult-of-personality banana republic early into Obama's first term.

We are now at the "Dear Leader Raises Monuments to himself" phase.

    I wish someone create a mural of me in the dirt using six acres that I can view from my windows.

    Nay, that would be tacky.

    How much is the grant he received to do this? How much will it cost the tax payers to return the area to it's previous condition?

      I 'm confused. It 's made up of dozens of faces resulting in the President 's face? That 's creepy. We don 't put the sitting president 's face in public places like that as a national statement. The idea of the art I think is cool and since it was interactive, why not keep it - but for the giant likeness of the President. Can you imagine the outcry if GW would have done something like that?

        We also don't teach little kids to sing songs about our sitting presidents, but they did. It smacks of kim jong ill. Although I did hear last night that kim may have been removed from power while in the hospital for his broken ankles. Unconfirmed reports.
