I'd argue: no, because he didn't do anything "great", anything that "changed the nation for the better in a conspicuous way". Typically the fellows on U.S. currency (Presidents or not) are people who "changed the nation for the better in a conspicuous way".

  He made the first real step towards a national health care system in 100 years of presidential attempts to create one. That will someday be regarded as a very important achievement. He also steered us through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, one not of his making. And those are only two of his accomplishments. There were many more.

  You have a partial point with regard to ObamaDon'tCare (what a disaster, just ask me re my personal experience), but none with regard to the second. That is DEFINITELY not "changed the nation for the better in a conspicuous way".

  Obamacare never went far enough towards being a national healthcare system because it continued support of for-profit insurance carriers. Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, originally formed for specific employee groups but later becoming national, were once the "public" option operated as non-profits. But by the 1990s many of the plans were allowed to become for-profit.

  "what a disaster, just ask me re my personal experience" Don't really care, actually. You've shown on this site that you are a racist who also hates democrats. You are uninteresting and a coward.

  Chicagoan: I love being the target of ad hominem. It clearly demonstrates that the user has no reasonable response to well-reasoned statement(s).

Maybe eventually, but we don't put living people on our currency.

No person's likeness should be honored on US currency who endeavored to overthrow the government. They should go back to putting symbolic figures on our currency so as to not promote bias.

  Anyone who thinks Barack Obama "endeavored to overthrow the government" belongs in psychiatric care. Get professional help.

  Obama is a Communist. It was because he tried to pass the administration over to Hillary that the country took a nosedive and exposed the Swamp for the Marxists that they are.

  @1465 - You're a Radical Far-Right Republican walking in Trumps footsteps ..Look with the Username 1465 must mean something I will have to trace that down and see where it's located

  Barack Obama is not a Communist, not remotely. If you think otherwise, you do not know what Communism -- Marxism in general -- actually is. Like many ignorant people, you are throwing around words that you do not understand. Go back to school. Your education to date has been extremely limited.

  @ Dances - I'll save you some trouble. 1465 is the earliest my genealogy has been traced. I come from Switzerland.

  @Victorine - I understand how you feel the need to dismiss Frank Marshall Davis and Barack's own father as Communist influences in his life, but you can't change the facts as much as you wish you could. No one is even sure of Obama being his real name - he has refused to produce his birth certificate.

  "No person's likeness should be honored on US currency who endeavored to overthrow the government." Nobody mentioned the Fat Orange Whore-Buying Pig, you moron.

I thought it was decided that Harriet Tubman was going to replace Andrew Jackson on that bill. In the US, our money usually only has dead faces on them.

  Fortunately, that plan never materialized. Nothing against Harriet Tubman, but her likeness was chosen for reasons of Political Correctness (aka "racism"). There was no logical reason to replace Andrew Jackson - especially with that of an African-American during a period when racial tensions are at a critical level. Nothing against African-Americans, either - it's the timing of the concept and how it ties with Political Correctness. Political Correctness is a cancer on society that seeks to erode the fabric of co-existence and the moral values of this country.

  Ah then, so they have decided against Harriet's likeness on the money eh? I had not heard that before, Thanks.

  I can't say that they've "decided against" it, but it's not being talked about as of late.
