Some moments deserve a monument. Some do not. This point is apparently lost on the owners of a Hyde Park shopping mall, which just installed a ton-and-a-half stone marker to commemorate the spot where Barack Obama first kissed his future wife, Michelle. The plaque, which features a picture of the couple dancing – Obama looks like he’s grimacing, and Michelle looks strangely pleased – states:“On our first date, I treated her to the finest ice cream Baskin-Robbins had to offer, our dinner table doubling as the curb. I kissed her, and it tasted like chocolate.”

On this site, President Barack Obama first kissed Michelle Obama.
It is a good thing that admirers of Bill Clinton did not attempt the same publicity stunt. We might have a three thousand pound boulder in the middle of the Oval Office to cover the rug stains.

i am no longer sure who is the bigger loser; obama or the idiot who wasted money on this hollow example of hero worship.

How about a monument to where Obama told "Joe the Plumber" that he wanted to "Spread the wealth around"? Another one where he claimed the "Private sector is doing fine" and of course the "You didn't build that" memorial.
Those three markers will serve to sum up the Obama administration and tell everyone all they really need to know about America's four lost years.
