Presidents Barack Obama $1 Coin?

Why would anybody want an Obama dollar? Well its a simple answer. Over 100 million of Americans love the current President. Over 60% of Americans voted for him. He will go down in history with the likes of JFK and FDR.

He's also still pretty young, so it will be a long time before he appears on a coin (living people cannot appear on coins), by which time his young voting base will be running everything. Also, there will be a desire to commemorate the first African American president.

I will try to be polite and not state what I really think so as to not get politcal

Anyway - I have often wondered about this..

What will happen when an actual Black person is elected? Mr. Obama is Mulatto, he is neither black nor white but 1/2 of each. I wonder if someone was elected who actually was black would want to be known as the ACTUAL 1st black president? They certainly would have a right to

Also - as to the 60% who voted for him, its been proven that the inner city and minorities had record voting to do this. He played up the minority side of it and we suffer this was the result (oops - I tried!). I think b/c of his politcal strategy of identifying with the blacks, people forget he is not.

Were they supposed to go on minting the dollar coins as collector sets? I thought they stopped all production anyway.

And I also wondered how they would make all of the presidents series anyway since some of them would not be dead by the time they got to them?

As a commemoration of the first non-purely Caucasian President, I can imagine a presidential Obama denomination of currency coming into existence many decades from now. Most certainly not, however, a commemoration of a good president who succeeded in bettering America and upheld the constitution.

If they made one, I'd collect it.

I don't think he ment "black people" were too stupid but rather "THE people"

And 60% is not a very large margin to win by.
