So Jackson is out and Tubman is the new face on the US $20. Hope they use a better picture than this, that's a disappointed and disapproving look she has and its going to sour the mood as I hand over or stuff 15-20 of her into an envelope. May have to switch to $50's.

In keeping with the slanted lefty liberals they've replaced one of the founding fathers.
I don't like change for PC reasons, would rather have merit decide

Jackson was 8 years old when hostilities broke out. He acted as a courier & became a POW at the age of 13. Doesn't make him a founding father though. He was definitely a founding father of Tennessee. And he was a Democrat. So if the "libs" are up to something, it's removing members of their ranks from currency.

He was 9 years old in 1776. He was elected in 1828. It's a mystery to me why he was ever on US currency.  He abolished the Bank of the United States, the forerunner of the fed, leading to a constitutional crisis. He committed genocide against the Cherokee nation. And he killed a guy dueling.

Andrew Jackson also hated paper currency. So it's fitting that he should be replaced on the twenty dollar bill.  
I guess you just needed an excuse to vent against liberals.

is on the $20 bill in Canada, talk about getting the stink eye when using your money for illicit activities.

finding their way to freedom. I think she only judged slave owners!

Better go back and do a little more research on Jackson, sport.
We'd be speaking with a different accent
I guess being president, a soldier during the revolutionary war and the war of 1812 wasn't enough?
Ohhhh, and genius, he was both Democrat and Republican.
Look him up.
Nice try attempting to look intelligent. Let me know when you want to try again

You have no knowledge of history. Just the made up one in your head.
Jackson was not a founding father. He did have a good day in New Orleans and one of our more interesting presidents .  
Of course his established political policy of genocide of the Native Americans of North America as the final solution to the " Indian Problem " should probably make him more of a war criminal than an American Hero and disqualify him to be on a piece of currency in the first place .

If not, I don't see why she would be judging you.

This wasn't a debate on her creds or if she should be on the $20. This is the pic they have been circulating in the news so it's was about the disappointing and judge look she has in it

I have no knowledge?
Spoken like a true clueless liberal.
Not only was Jackson president but he also fought in both the revolutionary war and the war of 1812
Without his participation you'd still be drinking tea and paying homage to the queen.
There was no shortage of colorful characters in those days, read some history. He was more colorful than most  
As for the "Indian problem" it was the common thought of the day: kill Indians, steal their land and gold.
So don't pin it on one guy.
You sound like one of these clowns trying to judge people long dead by your present day standards.

they are changing the twenty.  Did Andrew Jackson own her or something, and this is a balancing of the scales of justice, or what?

Exactly!

Lol it has nothing to do with racism, she has a very stern and judgmental expression on her face, can't they get a better picture?

There was a huge backlash at the idea of removing Hamilton. I guess in the pecking order of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Hamilton, Grant and Franklin, Jackson had the least support as "someone" had to make way for a woman to be on the face of one of the seven current US currency bills.  

Well none of this is going to happen for several years and just like many of our TER hookers, in four years she'll probably be ten years younger and better looking than today, thanks to a little Aldo magic. lol

It's a well deserved honor, for the things she had to endure and help others get freedom.

Hahaha, let's get congress to pass a bill that Aldo has to beautify all currency photos. I bet she'll come out looking like Halley Berry.

were commemorated on US currency and coin.

Fuddy duddy!

I don't think many black folks slaves or former slaves had pictures taken of them smiling!  

Remember this was before photo shopping.  If one of today's boudoir photographers had done the sitting she might have looked more like this.

was he a "fondling" father?

and to refresh my memory, which number POTUS was he? lol

I concur.
In these changing times I'd like to feel we are changing for a reason and not for change's sake.
I once stood on the banks of the Delaware River at the site of the Black Bass inn.  
Washington crossed there several times..
The water is very fast moving, it's cold year round.  
Couldn't help but think that the people who settled this country were damn tough. No good cold weather gear, simple rafts instead of boats, no real medical care.
My past includes two deployments as a Special Forces sergeant...18bravo for those who know what it means...Green Beret for those who don't.  
And my thoughts were: my training makes me a tough guy but these settlers and revolutionary soldiers were a helluva lot tougher and more determined than me.  
It's a miracle that they ever survived

Start by boycotting the Oscars and demand that Lucy Liu or that guy playing Sulu in Star Trek (old or new) get an Oscar. Then we can talk about getting General Tso on currency because you know at some point corporate sponsorship will take over

Let's open it up to bidding, and put whoever pays most on the money. Would we be paying for Franklins with Tubmans?

but I had ZERO desire to re up and I will 100% concede they were MUCH tougher than me as well.

So what is wrong with this female face?  
Very expressive and portrays true feelings  
Nice change to see face with emotion. What ever this emotion is

Yup, I made Ssgt e-6 in 3 years 8 months.  
When it came reup time they were sure I'd rejoin for the $2500 bonus.  
Buy a new car, they said.  
I'm thinking why? Bury me in it?

I'll place the first one I receive on the wall.

Maybe Teddy Roosevelt? We could call them Teddies ....
Or JFK, he had an eye for the ladies AND hookers ... Call em Johns?  
And before JD chimes in on this, one could call them Jacks ... as I pull my fist from my throat ... God help me ... lmao

Does anyone think that there could be a non-controversial replacement? No way! Based on her biography and accomplishments, my contemporary analysis would say that she is 20-worthy. But then I'd be slighting someone else's favorite choice.  

I'll admit I'm clueless on this whole story as to why they're changing, who and why they picked etc...... But my first thought is why didn't they put MLK on it. He seems to be the most respected african American around? Anyone know?  

Headline:  Gun-toting Republican to replace founder of Democrat party on $20 bill.

I guess by picking a black woman they killed two birds with one stone.

I really mean that.
For that reason I'm not going to ridicule you any more about your limited grasp of American history.
Ben Franklin was a founding father ( unlike Jackson).

Except for the old bills, they have zero collector value.  Just spend 'em, and move forward.

Plagiarized portions of his PhD thesis Some have argued it should be revoked.  
May have cheated on his wife (extra-marital affairs).
