Having Barack Obama on a New Dollar Bill

Do you ever take a serious look at your money? Do you know who is on the various coins and dollar bills? Does this matter to you? If this does matter to you, you know there is a historical significance to the figures on the various currencies. For example, George Washington is featured on the one-dollar bill because he was the first president of the United States of America. Plans are under way to place the nation's new president, Barack Obama, on a dollar bill. You will learn what the portrait of Obama could represent.
One thing Obama's image will represent is a major contrast to George Washington. If you pay attention to the current dollar bill, you realize Washington was the president over two centuries ago. By looking at something featuring Obama, you will see a man who just became the nation's first black president over two centuries later; yet, we should never eliminate the dollar bill that features Washington. Having a dollar bill that features Washington and another one that features Obama will create an awesome combination that would be almost impossible to beat.
Another thing the president's image will portray is history. Looking at his image when you see or hold a dollar bill will remind you of the spectacular progress and change that has been made in our nation.
This portrait could be an inspiration to black people. Each time they see a dollar bill with the new president on it, they might think, "Hey, there truly is hope for me. If I put my mind to it and work hard, I can become the president or become someone who will always be admired or remembered for doing extraordinary things."
Obama's picture could represent an incentive to plenty of people to earn as much money as they can. They might be inspired to earn lots of money so they can have lots of dollar bills that feature the likeness of Obama.
We have a five-dollar bill that features Abraham Lincoln, the nation's sixteenth president; consequently, it is only fitting to have a dollar bill that features Obama. Lincoln emancipated black people from slavery and helped pave the way for them to acquire political and economic opportunities. By the way, Barack looks up to Lincoln and is trying to establish his presidency based on Lincoln's political greatness.
Obama's currency inclusion will signify a lifetime treasure. It will let future generations know the nation has not only had presidents who are white men.
You have learned the significance of having a dollar bill that features Obama.
