    I'd vote for Ayn Rand 1st as many in that gulch did, but outside our world she wouldn't' get a lot of support. Personally being a new england male I do not embrace change (or hope) very well.

    No woman.
    Not because I have anything against a woman, but the one dollar bill is the most commonly used paper money in our land, and very correctly, we wouldn't have a land if it weren't for George Washington. He is correctly, the father of our country and very few humans have risen to the stature of this great man. No one, man or woman should usurp Washington's place on the dollar bill and even though we name our capitol after him, and put up monuments to him, there is nothing that would be too much to honor him.

    Why? Who is pushing this? Is this mandatory now because of The Fairness Act? Or is it because of the new Political Correctness Law? How did they select who went on our current currency? Does anyone really care? I'll apologize now, I'm just so depressed and worn out by the actions, non-actions of this administration of ours that everything else seems mute. I think George needs to be the only one ever on the dollar bill, it helps some people remember he was our first president. And let’ see, Lincoln (16) divided by $5 equals 3 with 1 left over. It must be some trigonometry they used, I just don’t get that one, how was Lincoln selected for the five dollar bill? Why a woman now, why not another man? Just be glad we don’t have a forty four dollar bill. Oh no, you don’t think this subject came up because, oh never mind, I wouldn’t want to held responsible for even suggesting it.

    There is only one proper person: Ayn Rand. Rand's picture would restore meaning to the dollar and pave the way for a gold-backed dollar in the future.

    "Is it time to put a woman on our paper currency? President(sic) Obama went on record today saying it’s a “pretty good idea.”"

    No. Making new currency just to pander to a voter block is not a pretty good idea. That he thinks so makes it undoubtedly a bad idea.

    You realize you're all talking about replacing GEORGE WASHINGTON on the dollar bill?

    If we're going to replace George Washington, then let it be with one of the women who signed the Declaration of Independence... or the Constitution. Or led the Continental Army. Or turned down the crown.

    These bastards are seriously considering replacing the most significant and symbolic man in American history with a woman whose contribution and accomplishments, whatever they might have been, could not possibly compare... except that she'd had a vagina.

    Let's move on from this question, onto the more serious, and important and impactful question: Who should be the first Transgender on the five dollar bill?

    After which we can consider who should be the first illegal alien on the ten dollar bill?

      George will go to the new thousand dollar bill because it will buy what a dollar did in 1913 (before the federal reserve act.)
      I'd welcome real heros of liberty for the $5 and $10 instead of the mass murderer and elistist bankster.
