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 “Uncle Sam is outdated,” said Axelrod.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.
What a Dicktator Communist Moron he is. Only a Dicktator would put his own face on Currency that looks like Communist money
Then we will all get his picture to put up on our walls.
Are you so consumed with right-wing hate that you can't see the clues that tell you the story is a SATIRE?
Oh, that's right. Cutting education is part of the right-wing agenda. Point made.
Obama should be on the trillion dollar bill, cause he is the only president to put us in so much debt that such a bill is even necessary!
I love it, people crying over President Obama alledgedly dragging this country to the poor house, if memory serves anyone correctly we were already here! President Obama had 8 plus years of problems to fix, the deficit not the only one, he has been juggling a lot on his Presidential plate, President Bush spent the surplus in which President Obama was to use to begin reparations on the economy, it was done purposely to give him a rocky start and finish,scream and holler at him!, also money wasted on an unplanned war because as he said they messed with his daddy , people overlook the good done and complain, amazingly,The love, respect and care shown by The First Family for each other is even a topic of hate. some have tried to manufacrture scandals, go back a year before the Obama administration, oh wait the Kennedy clan isn't finished yet! Oh and btw if Bush would have been able to capture Bin Ladin, as desperate as he was for him, he would have had him!
Sheeple, Sheeple, Sheeple
That would be you marie, had you half a brain you'd realize that of which i've written are my words, and at least i have the conviction to stand behind those words., you on the othe hand attach yourself to my comment and call yourself giving me a peice of your little mind by saying i follow behind someone else, something in which i never have to do because i certainly am without fear of retribution for what is in my mind and heart, not to mention i see not even a smidgen of where you spoke about the topic itsself! So in all actuality the sheeple's on you, because honestly if you had anything to say of consequence, you'd have said it and stood beside it instead of focusing on me, stop riding on the backs of others, stay on topic and stop hating!
I'm confident to state i know you have it wrong, and i really do wish you would have thought before writing one silly word which means absolutely nothing in correlation to the article above, nor to me, you see what i wrote came from no one but me and well you know it, i also have the conviction to stand up for both my thoughts as well as my beleifs, your a fine one to yell sheeple when thats the only thing thats come from your mouth taking you off topic without an original thought in your head, you stupidly attach yourself to my reply box and shout one word 3 times accusing me of following someone else's thoughts when clearly it is you who is doing so otherwise you would have found your way to your own comment box and whether people agreed with you or not written your own opinion, nothing in the article asked you to critique anyone you silly girl. in short the sheeple award goes to you and only you! Now try again, get thee to your own comment box, stay on topic, stop trying to critique, and wash the sheeple off your face!
It is amazing that years and years of hoping that people would began to get rid of this sickness and become color blind would began to takeover, but so many websites i've seen poisened with it that i can't help but wonder to myself will it ever end and in who's lifetime? Sadly it doesn't matter how much the Obama's have accomplished, it doesn't matter that unbeknownst to him that nasty man Bush had forsaken the country in order to be spiteful and people would stupidly ignore that and blame him, the problem was that he and his existed at all and didn't come in the back door but instead came in the front, and that they did'nt answer to others but others answered to them, Well i for one love that Obama's ride on no one's coat sleeve's and I want to thank the PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY for all that they've done and continue to do, you deserve to be on that dollar bill, nothing is more befitting than america see your face every day (i have a great big smile on my face)
HELLO
What has this got to do with race?????????????? This is about egotism and narcissism. This man has done more to destroy good race relations than any person black or white has ever done. You want the glory for yourself. You identify with him. If you want us to be color blind than stop blaming white people for this man's incompetence.
And thats your story and you're sticking to it as his is still being questioned, and was made to prove over and over again! what in the world are you talking about what glory for myself? you must be on the girls base ball team because you're really out there in left field, i am on no one's podium, but i'll tell you this much i can feel what i like, and have as well as do have the right to express those feelings, It is after all my comment box whether you or anyone else likes it or not, and as far as my statement on colorblind goes, it was a question, and he who excuses himself accuses himself, for as many times as people yell they're tired of hearing the black man blaming the white man for his transgression's my my are'nt you the perfect picture of the kettle calling the pot black (no pun intended). I bet you thought you were the best thing since popcorn huh? Now back up , you remind me of Sylvester the cat, i can feel your slobber coming through the monitor, furthermore go spew your dumb behind angry opinion in your own comment box, next week you'll be blaming President Obama killing Robert Kennedy.
Plenty, you see what you see i see what i see he's destroyed no relations, he's brought our young men home, he started no wars , he's screwed no one's daughter, i could go on., i have no idea what glory your talking about, thats really out in over the top land somewhere, i'm no celebrity nor am i in the running with someone to be famous, and i certainly did'nt blame any white people for someone's incompetence so my answer to you on those notes are RIF or take a class on reading comprehension before you throw out a couple of out of place big words in a nonsensible conversation which has no correlation to what the author wrote! good day to you sir.
MOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN
The other day i came across the following article above, after reading it asked for a comment, i gave it, The mere fact that you MR Ja had nothing intelligent to add in the comment box except a basic name call, based on you not agreeing with me, no one asked you to, in that case just trudge along! which had you had a quarter of an inch of brain in your scull should have let your feelers out that i could care less whether you agreed with my thoughts or not, what comes to mind when i see something like that is reminiscent of a two year old, standing in the middle of the floor fists balled, turning red, cheeks puffed screaming as well as stamping and crying i want my way, i want my way, now go to mommy curl your teary eyed goofy self on her lap and take a nap! PS STILL SMILING!
Nice to see they pick a BRITISH company to re design OUR money.
And you believe that? There are enough clues in this story that even the densest person should realize it's a SATIRE. As in HOAX, as in PRACTICAL JOKE, as in PRANK. But we're dealing with right-wing readers here, so no chance of that happening.
"GOP" starts with the same letter as "gullible". The reference to the British company was one of many clues that the story is a fake, a practical joke – but your right-wing prejudice seems to have blinded you to that.
Hint: FOX is only slightly more trustworthy.
This is UNBELIEVABLE…wait a minute…no it's not…I forgot it was B. Obama's idea to redesign it! What an egotisicale, communist plot he has in store….this is nothing folks…WAKE the F UP!
Oh, yes. You read it on the web so it has to be true, right??? FACT-CHECK BEFORE POSTING! This tabloid site got hold of some mockups from a private art group and blew it into "reality". Next you'll claim it was a true story when the National Enquirer claimed to have a photo of JFK at age 80 having a secret meeting with a space alien…
PS Please take a course in economic theory and learn what a communist really is.
Right. You read it online so it has to be true. THE ARTICLE IS A SATIRE!!!!
Mr. “ohstoplying”, it’s hard to even understand wtf you’re talking about… Your speech is almost unintelligible and devoid of any point or meaning. Learn to take a joke!
But since you seem to be interested in politics, then let me teach you a very simple set of equations…
Bush = idiot
Obama = idiot
Clinton = idiot
Romney = idiot…
The list goes on and on… They all suck. There’s very little difference between any of them, and the Republicans and Democrats are far more similar than they are different. They’re all war-mongering, authoritarian, Keynesian bastards…
Then take your time and let it marinate, its plain plain english, there's no big dictionary words to look up, i crack up when people get pissed when they don't agree with someone says so they cuss with toilet mouths, and fein they don't understand, well you don't have to agree, not once did i ask you to nor did i say i'd care, moving along!
PS i can take a joke i'm talking to ya aren't i?
Oh and by the way, there is nothing you are teaching anybody, what you've actually done is added your very own opinion that you can keep and while your at it try a laxative! and that would be MS stop lying!
Dan, I understand your pain but in realty, we HAVE to pick the lesser of two evils. We MUST get this dictator out of our white house. At least Romney is an American!
At least we won't be left in the dark lol We know what is ahead and it is hell to pay on this earth. Keep your faith..Pray!
Amen!
Its apparently not difficult for you to comprehend at all, exspecially since you so angrily responded., and the only way that can be done is through understanding, hence why i, a female chose the name i did.furthermore, you are'nt teaching me a thing, what you've manged to do is angrily spew YOUR opinion which is actually not a reply, it is just that your opinion, something in which i could give two pennies rubbed together about, now take thee and thy stupid whitless opinion to thine own comment box, in short GET OFF MY PROPERTY! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Well, if that's tghe case, won't be accepting those dollar bills. I'll take my change for a five in quarters.
You'll need a big sack, mostly to hold your gullibility. You let your hatred of the black guy in the White House completely obliterate the fact that this is a SATIRICAL site. You got pranked, big time!!!
What a load of shit! Just goes to show you how much Obama really hates America! These new bills look like something straight out of a Communist country. How dare this Communist lying Muslim sack of shite replace the great George Washington with his smug lying American hating face. What a travesty. Look who is on the hundred and it explains it all, FDR one of the top 5 worst presidents ever not to mention a progressive socialist liberal puke.
If you believe this story is true there's a bridge in New York you might be interested in buying.
IT'S A JOKE!!!
PS If FDR had been the right-wing fanatic you wish for, dieser Artikel wurde auf deutsch geschreiben sein.
Shouldn't he be on the food stamp?
i'm sure you'd know.
This is another example of how a communist thinks. He is a dictator – God help America before it's too late!!!!!!!!!!
Do you REALLY believe this is true?! CHECK FACTS BEFORE FOAMING AT THE MOUTH. It's a satire!!
Finally Obama gets some well deserved recognition.
You people do realize that Weekly World News is a tabloid, literally for entertainment purposes only, non-informational, right? This is a funny haha, something to make you think.
oh wait, I guess my comment won't be posted… you guys like all the crazies to come on and rant, I guess that's the fun of it. Carry on then, haha
These days Coach is best known for ladies handbags as well as items such as luggage, briefcases, wallets and other novelty accessories.
Elvis is still alive and OJ is not guilty!!!
haha nice joke… some people believed this im sure (idiots).. the website for the dollar redesign project looks really official too (not)
On a side note, I would burn my money… I WOULD BURN IT!!!
I have actually been spending a ton of time on the internet lately. Because of my recent activities, I saw this weblog on online bingo. Having actually seen your blog here, I have undoubtedly found a keeper. I simply like finding out new facts and brand-new facets to a person’s capability and imagination. Cheers!
Where is "In God We Trust"?!!!! This is Madness!!!!!
The only madness is in your fevered brain. THE STORY IS A JOKE POSTING. You right-wingers get so worked up over anything that feeds your prejudices that you can't stop for 15 seconds to fact-check.
And if you had done any checking you'd realize the motto wasn't introduced until 1864, wasn't on all coins till 1938, and not on all bills till 1963. So much for God's interest in what's on our money. GEEZ.
i don't care! i just wanna see more kim k pics!
WHAT'S NEXT, " United Socialist States of America "?
That's about as real as this story. You fell for the fakery hook, line, sinker, and brain.

If they hand be that Im gonna tell them just to give me 4 quarters! That is just plain BS!
You stumbled on an unbelievable story about Obama and your right-wing hate switch kicked in so quickly you never bothered to fact-check. This is a humor/satire site but you fell for it just like you fall for Fox "News".
Sick.
While reading these comments, I had an epiphany. You see, after seeing that the majority of republicans accepted certain nonsensical and at times, racist comments from certain GOP candidates, I assumed that they were either ignorant or mentally damaged. You know, a side effect from all of that early brainwashing. But after reading these comments, I’ve come to realize that the side effects were worst than I thought. All of that brainwashing has washed their slate clean. They’ve turned into cattle who have lost the ability to think for themselves.
