Washington was "a leader" of the Revolution, but not the Leader. His military career would never survive a modern hearing. However, he did provide an excellent symbol for the disparate colonists, and he set the two term limit most Presidents would follow before it was made law.

Lincoln, while my favorite President, did some pretty despicable things from a civil rights perspective in his thankfully successful quest to preserve the union of the United States.

Hamilton almost proves his amesomeness also by being a non-President on our currency, His reaction after being fatally shot during a duel was to tell the doctor to be careful of his gun, because it was still cocked and loaded.

Jackson, while indisputably not someone to mess with (Davey Crockett pulled him off a would be presidential assassin he was beating to death with his cane) was responsible for signing the Indian Removal Act. As his administration came to a close and the Van Buren administration came into power, this act removed the Cherokee nation from its land and resulted in the deaths of 4,000 innocent Native Americans.

Grant, while a brilliant General, was only Lincoln's last General in overall command of the forces of the Union. When it came to pass that Robert E. Lee was being threatened with prosecution for his actions during the war after he had granted him amnesty at Appomattox, Grant threatened to resign his position in protest to Lincoln's successor. Unfortunately his administration was among the most corrupt in U.S. history.

Franklin had a wee problem with things like partying and being quite the ladiesman. That said, he really does deserve to be on the $100 bill. Some of his accomplishments: unofficial ambassador to the Iroquois, ambassador to France, Founding Father, inventor, media mogul, engraver, and was asked by the Vatican (while in Europe) if he knew any colonial priests who would be a good Bishop (Franklin was one of the least anti-Catholic politicians of the era); he recommended John Carrol.

As for Obama on the food stamps...food stamps come in credit card form now with no picture on them. So I highly doubt it.

The link doesn't work for me? (The Phorum did something to it to include the word language, fixed it, but didn't see Franklin?)

Okay I love some Tesla, but I'm not sure, did he ever actually get to test his wireless electric charging thing he built in New York? The comic implies he did, but I thought some people *cough* like Edison *cough* blocked the test. Not sure though.

Why thank you good sir, I spent a good amount of time checking facts as I wrote to make sure my memory wasn't being misleading.

Put him next to Lincoln on the fiver. They both seem to enjoy a peculiar and inexplicable saint-like status by the majority of people.

Uuuum racism definitely still exists and was legal for 100 years after the civil war ended. Lincoln's intention wasn't even really to end slavery. It was to stop the states from succeeding.
