@azul – re Obama being on the dollar coin, by US law, Presidents must be deceased for two years before they appear on a coin. These coins are coming out at the rate of 4 per year and started in 2007. So, at this point, our 38th President, Gerald Ford, who died in 2006, would be eligible to be on a coin in 2016, but our 39th President Jimmy Carter will have to be skipped if he doesn’t die before 2014. Assuming he does, he and Reagan will fill out 2016. Assuming Bush Sr. who is now 84 dies within the next 6 or 7 years, he might be the last coin minted in 2016 or the first (and likely the only) coin minted in 201, but for anyone else (Clinton who is now 62, Bush Jr who is also 62, or Obama who is 47) to get on a coin, they would need to die in the next 7 years, and that just doesn’t seem all that likely. Though of course Obama IS the first black President and there are a lot of racist rednecks with guns, but I place a LOT of trust in the secret service these days…I mean if they could keep Dubya alive for 8 years, that’s saying something. I mean this guy was almost brought down by a pretzel.
