While it's still a ways off, it's most likely going to be Rand Paul unless something drastic happens.

And it's not hard to rise in the polls for republicans anyways. A few months ago, Mike Huckabee had that outburst against women and rose to the number one spot from out of no where.

Yes. There will be a library for Obama, and it will be in Chicago.
/thread.

If they named a free-way intersection and library after George W. Bush in Dallas-Fort Worth I see no reason why not Obama.

That's the least/most that should be done for Obama. He is certainly no Clinton or Reagan.

I think there should be a library named after Obama and I think that library should be empty just like promises of hope he gave to us.

FTFY

Clinton has a library also, and there used to be bullet holes in the "Welcome to Hope! Home of President Bill Clinton." sign in Hope, Arkansas in the 90's.

Clinton is overrated as he presided over an unprecedented upswell in prosperity in America and signed a bunch of legislation that deregulated the hell out of everything that led to our ditch in the road later on.

Honestly with or without Obama we'd still be drinking ***soup unless you think Romney has magic powers to go with the magic underwear. Obama has been mediocre and will be remembered cause he was the first not-white dude to roll El Presidente and that's fine. Obamacare will most likely shake out and be what he's remembered for alongside all the intense derping we've had Congress collecting checks for.

I'm also fine with him cockblocking President McCain and Romney from happening. Sarah Palin going down in history as Vice President? I can only imagine some scholar facepalming in 2167 if that did happen.

Great presidents? Lets talk Lincoln, LBJ, both Roosevelts, Eisenhower or hell, Truman. Reagan gets his props. I mean Iran/Contra? Brilliant.

I saw Palin was back in the news today, promoting waterboarding. I'm glad she is unemployed.

Presidential libraries are basically museums. Not the same thing as those sad buildings where old people gather to vote or where you can check out a ragged copy of 50 Shades of Grey because you find the librarian less judgemental and just because you're a guy doesn't mean you can't enjoy female-centric erotica dammit SO SPARE ME YOUR DIRTY LOOKS SHARON AT BARNES & NOBLE.

What was this thread about?

Also doesn't George W. Bush have several libraries named after him in the DFW area?

I think both Southern Methodist and University of Texas have libraries and departments(i think?) named after George W. Bush....

EDIT: I forgot about all the ***named after him in Plano, TX too!

I personally associate a library with knowledge/learning and no president belongs in the same sentence as those terms.

Reagan has a prestigious university hospital named after him, it's quite insulting that a man who *** up during the 80's HIV/AIDS crisis has a hospital named after him, specifically since that institution is a leader in HIV/AIDS research.

But its better than the USC white memorial hospital. That place is depressing.

I get why Hamilton is on money though. You know, founding the financial system and first Treasury Secretary.

LBJ for 20s! Reagan for 100s!

I vaguely remember that but it still makes no sense for a monster like Andrew Jackson to be on arguably the most popularly used currency in the country for the sake of a running joke. Thomas Jefferson being on the defunct 2 dollar bill is more entertaining than that.

Jackson doesn't deserve the honor. It's like JFK being on the half-dollar but who actually uses half dollars.

Old hickory is great for BBQ though.

Now a good question is why is Salmon P Chase on a US Note?
