skelly423 Valued Member Canada 187 Posts	Posted 06/15/2008 12:54 pm Is anybody else excited about next year's stellar roster of Harrison, Tyler, Polk and Taylor? Are these really the caliber of people who should be seen on change that represents America to the world. Three of the four were so mediocre that they earned a reference in a song aired on the Simpson's. The Simpson's did get one part wrong, they are all being "honored" on the dollar. Here's the song for those who don't know what I'm talking about: We are the mediocre presidents. You won't find our faces on dollars or on cents! There's Taylor, there's Tyler, There's Fillmore and there's Hayes. There's William Henry Harrison; Harrison: I died in thirty days! All: We...are...the... Adequate, forgettable, Occasionally regrettable Caretaker presidents of the U-S-A Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188130 Posts	Posted 06/16/2008 12:30 am I love the Simpsons! As for the entire roster of Presidential dollars, we should respect the office enough to honour any person to have ever held it, no matter how underwhelming their term might have been.

garakguest New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 06/16/2008 12:38 am I agree with jbuck. Besides, if our criteria were familiarity and significance, I could think of a few states that could've been left out of the State Quarters program. If I knew my history well enough, I am sure there are things that I could say in defense of those presidents. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: In 1844, the Democrats were split The three nominees for the presidential candidate Were Martin Van Buren, a former president and an abolitionist James Buchanan, a moderate Louis Cass, a general and expansionist From Nashville came a dark horse riding up He was James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTiCU_fqCg Gotta love the Johns! Cause they might be giants and what are we going to do unless they are?

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 06/16/2008 3:21 pm Leaving out states in the State Quarter Program? Leaving out Presidents and just honoring the achieving few ? There are more than a few Native Americans who'd like to "leave out a few" of these too I suppose !.....and they'd like to have their territory back! But, no, the programs can't possibly work that way......just honoring "favorites" or opinions of who should be honored....... But yeah.....I'm not overwhelmed with excitement about next years Presidential dollar coins.....Look at it this way.......THE WHOLE PROGRAM ISN'T EVER GOING TO BE WORTH MUCH MONEY ANYWAY, BECAUSE THEY ARE MINTING WAAAAAAAYYYYYY TOOOOOO MANY OF THESE !!...............
