WASHINGTON – The White House has approved the redesign of U.S. currency. Barack Obama will be on the new dollar bill.
The Obama Administration feels that the American dollar is in bad need of a makeover. They have partnered with the Dollar ReDe$ign Project to pick a new design for U.S. currency. Currently, the design that the administration likes best was done by Dowling Duncan (a British duo), which features a unique vertical design. It also features President Obama on the one dollar bill.
“We love the Dowling Duncan look. They’ve come up with a creative design and put President Obama where he belongs… on number 1,” said David Axelrod, Senior Adviser to President Obama.
The Dollar Redesign Project was organized by creative strategy consultant Richard Smith. He is still soliciting ideas for the dollar bill of the future. “Our great ‘rival’, the Euro, looks so spanky in comparison it seems the only clear way to revive this global recession is to rebrand and redesign,” the project notes on its website.
Here’s the web site for The Dollar Redesign Project.
“Don’t waste your time submitting a design, it’s a done deal,” said Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff. The President wants “change” in the currency and we’ve unanimously picked Dowling Duncan’s work. Fed Chairman, Benjamin Bernanke, has signed off on our choice for the redesign. We intend to have the money in circulation by December, 2012.”
Emanuel went on to say that there are plans to redo U.S. coins as well. “We don’t need a complete redesign of our coins, but we do want to put President Obama on the penny and move President Lincoln to the nickel. Thomas Jefferson, who was on the nickel, will be… discontinued.” Republican Congressman Paul Ryan suggested President Obama be put on both the “nickel and dime” instead of the penny.
Another American icon might also be replaced. “Uncle Sam is outdated,” said Axelrod. “We need to update this icon as well. It will now be Uncle Barack.”
Republicans are apoplectic about the changes the Administration is proposing. “They won’t get this passed when we get control of the house,” said Minority Leader John Boehner. “Typical Republicans, they want to block everything, even a little meaningless design issue,” said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. “It doesn’t matter what they think, we’re going to pass this and every American will be carrying Obama dollars in their wallets and purses come December, 2012.”
FYI: The Obama dollar will reportedly be worth $0.47.
Personally, I'm glad that it's happening. I think we should celebrate the election of the first African American President by putting him on our currency. Maybe we could have him shaking hands with George Washington as the water mark.
Or kicking Jefferson Davis in the ass
I believe that everyone will be welcomed back with open arms into the family of America. Slave owners and slaves will embrace in a spirit of mutual love and caring. Come join us in this new America.
so we are going backwards now…replacing the man on the dollar bill (that was responsible for helping create the greatest country on earth) with the man that hates everything about our country and wants to destroy it. This is nothing more than a bad joke.
This is a joke, right??!!!
No, this is not a joke. This is real.
Obama!!!!
Obama!!!!!!!!
very funny
The new White House toilet paper.very funny!!!!!
great thanks
Obama is a guy who is respected but I do not like him he wants to get rid of the penny, the U.S first coin ever to be marked United states of America in !793 and stop the dollar coins which are just cool.
He killed the Bin laden who will just be replaced, you need to burn the Hydra not keep chopping off heads.
That’s the only thing he did, big thing.
Washington is cool

Obama on OUR currency?? They have GOT to be kidding. NO friggin WAY!! Our currency that is in circulation today was designed to honor REAL, OUTSTANDING, American Hero's from our PAST. Those who loved the liberty and freedom of this proud nation and would lay their lives down defending it. NOT this pseudo "American", arrogant, narcisstic, Consitution annilating, freedom destroying, lying dick……oops, dictator we have in OUR White House right now. He has no business being there and is a total disgrace to the office and position he holds.
Shut off your far-right prejudices long enough to look at the rest of the site. This is SATIRE and HUMOR!
Of course if you believe Fox it's only a small step to thinking practical jokes like this are real.
Wow… seriously? What a moron (that translates to "moran" in teabagger).
This is satire, as in funny ha-ha, but you have FOX News shoved so far up your ass that it's actually cutting off the blood supply to your brain, and now you're brain dead. But since you're still alive, it must have turned you into a mindless zombie instead. Go eat some brains; hopefully you'll absorb some intelligence.
SouthernBelle is a good pseudonym… you're a real ding-a-ling.
Give it a rest…
Great to see that you are a southern belle as well as myself. But how do you feel that men of honor were the same ones who did not want to end slavery? You obviously are not an African American southern belle or an honorable one for that fact.

Come on lets get on the Obama train, not only is the money going to be more fun to spend, I mean who wouldn't be happy spending rainbows? But it will also create new jobs, women will have to have wallets that color coordinate as well as individual compartments to separate each bill by size and color. Uncle Sam will never be out dated, because he is being replaced with Uncle Tom or if you prefer Uncle Remus and they were around just as long as our patriot Uncle. The design of that money is the most ridiculous design ever, concert tickets are designed better. Just like Obama plays at bring President now he is giving us Monopoly money. Come on folks wake up and smell the money, oops oh yeah you can't because there isn't any.
