Agreed. I'll donate to the fund so the Republicans don't have to pay for any of it. Btw, did you ever fly in or out of Davis-Monthan? We have 130s overhead all day long.
I'm former USAF...but yes, I have transited Davis-Monthan, though my Reserve unit was based in Youngstown, OH. Davis-Monthan, is home to the 43rd ECS, and the 79th RQS...those are EC-130H Compass Calls you're seeing... special operations.support...or HC-130P flown by the rescue squadron. I think the 79th may have the C-130J now...come to think of it. I flew a slick...a trash hauler...C-130H2, the most common bird of the C-130 family you'll see...though we did aerial spraying on occasion for mosquito control like after the Katrina hurricane.
The patriotic and appreciative people of America (and the world) should launch a movement to remove all the other useless presidents from Mount Rushmore and replace them with a single finely sculpted and glorious portrayal of Barack, Michelle, and their beautiful daughters.

I've done some private flying, not enough to be proficient anymore. My hometown is Oshkosh (EAA) so I kinda grew up with all that flying stuff. More fun than you can shake a stick at.
Oshkosh is great...a must see for any aviation buff. The only thing I fly now, besides a desk, is a Cessna 172. I keep my PPL certificate and IFR rating current, but don't fly commercially. It's an expensive hobby, to say the least. I have no kids or a wife to nag me about being a hangar bum...I'm sure if I did, I'd probably have to give up the flying.
I used to work with a guy who had a Beech Duchess that I learned to fly. He had to keep it rented out to make the payments so I rented it whenever I had a couple hundred dollars that weren't doing anything. 172s are MUCH more enjoyable, imo. And, yeah, it was my wife who told me to find another hobby. Watching the EAA show from the lake with a large cooler is just this side of heaven.
I dont get it, why put Obama up there? Is it because he will kill his own citizens like Lincoln just to get his way? Because he is big authoritarian like Teddy? We know libs dont like Washington or Jefferson, so he doesnt match up with them at all. Why not just use stone mountain in GA to carve his face into, right over the picture of Gen Lee and other confederates riding horses?
Let me give you folks a heads up. If President Obama's likeness appears on Mt. Rushmore there won't be enough soldiers in the entire US Army to protect the monument from direct citizen action. Spectacular dissent would be triggered.
Only three of those belong there. Roosevelt has nowhere near the stature of the other three. Obama deserves a sand sculpture.
