Not going to lie. I do like the bottom $1 note with Washington on the side......I think it looks cool.

However the rest are colorful crap.

Can I get those $1 Obama bills in perforated rolls? They also have to be soft or my wife and daughter won't be happy.
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.

The paper dollar and $5 note need to be discontinued. Get rid of them and replace them with coins. We already have $1 coins minted; they should be used in circulation. Even the Europeans have coins for 1 and 2 Euro. :|

I also like the last depicted George Washington dollar note as an artistic excerise, it's reminisant of the two dollar bill reverse, BUT leave the dollar bill alone!!! It does NOT need a stinking politically correct update. No indian maidens, teepees, Kenyan-American presidents, FDR etc. Leave it alone or get rid of it and go to a coin.

I don't know if you can get TP like that, I have seen these BHO notes.

You can find BHO TP online.

There is a federal law on the books that says no living president can be depicted on currency........ so does that mean this trial balloon presages Obama's reign might get cut short?

I noticed that quote too. That is definitely going to get us out of the global recession. My first thought was "I'm sure that there are a bunch of people out there who are just waiting to work hard, earn money and spend it... if only they could have cool, colorful currency." These boring old green dollars are just so boring I don't want to work for them. But if I could get a dollar with Obama's picture on it...
