Some thieves walked away with the John F. Kennedy bust that was located in El Presidio Park during the weekend, according to the Daily’s Darren DaRonco.
It’s highly unlikely that we will ever see the bulbous, granite Kennedy head again. We need to find another face to fill the void in the historic courtyard, so it’s only right that we replace the bust with the greatest President of all time: Barack Hussein Obama II. Barack gave us health care, passed the stimulus that gave us funding for the popular street car, had Moammar Gaddafi killed, gave the orders for Seal Team Six to assassinate Osama bin Laden and he saved the auto industry. Obama is no Kennedy, but he’s all we got.
Need I say more?

Just make another Kennedy one, but not out of any kind of metal that tweakers will want to steal.
Have we checked to make sure it hasn’t shown up at The Shelter yet?
Obama is destroying this country and you cheerlead? Shame on you for being so ignorant
I’m astounded it took an hour and 17 minutes for the first kook to comment.
But if not The Shelter, I’d go for the top of the Tiki Head, because who the hell would look up there?
Keep drinking the kool aide
Now you know why all those ancients used marble for busts… they knew the bronze ones would be melted down to make coins… as happened to all the statues in Constaninople after the Latins and then the Turks.
Theirs some used diapers some where that can be used
“…Let’s Replace The Stolen Kennedy Bust with Obama’s Head…”
Why, so we’ll have something to throw darts at?
obama is NO kennedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama is more like Hitler than Kennedy! I personally use his picture for my dart board. I say forget about the bust and Impeach Obama.
Great idea! The idiots who are writing that Obama is a Nazi or ruining the country never lived in a real fascist environment like my family did, and are blind to the fact that thanks to him, we are no longer the only industrialized nation without national health care (imperfect as it is). To all the sad sack pessimists who get off dissing our country and our President, I will repeat what was said to me back in the sixties when we were trying to get our troops out of Viet Nam, “This is America. Love it or Leave It!”
Anyone who thinks Obama is anything like a Nazi or Socialist is obviously cracked. Take a look at history. Like actually read. I know it’s difficult for the right wing to actually employ logic-to-knowledge but difficult is not impossible. What exactly is Obama doing to ruin the country? Being black while in office is about the only thing “wrong” about his administration… At least more wrong than any other. Really guys? Are you that ignorant that you can’t see past his skin color?
Ok, what asshat recycle company is going to buy a big chunk of bronze that maybe looks like some dead president?
There should be a cop stationed at every recycle shop in AZ!
Someone please tell me that the response to the stolen Kennedy statue is satire. A bust of Obama in the middle of Tucson. Seriously? It isn’t bad enough that we have a statue of the criminal Pancho Villa downtown? What kind of low is my hometown sinking to? smh
Looks like the ADI crowd found the comment section. What a shame.
OH geez. Either the author of this post is just joking with the readers or he is truly one of the most gullible Liberals. If they are able to identify the criminals they need to arrest and prosecute them. They also need to replace the bust with Kennedy. Obama has disgraced all Nobel Peace Prize Winners, he just received the “Lie of the Year Award 2013”, uses scare tactics against his own American Citizens and the horrifying list goes on. The only reason Obama is worth remembering, is to teach people a lesson of who Not to be.
Judging the order of comments in this post, Dan Gibson identifies the “kook” as “clear mind” for his comment:
“Obama is destroying this country and you cheerlead? Shame on you for being so ignorant”
Friends report to me from Tucson by identifying their subject matter as originating from the land of “dumb” and “dumber”. Maybe I weigh in from time to time because I’m not so jaded. Or maybe Tucson has rubbed off on me after all the years wasted in this town.

Dear “media”: DO NOT POST THESE SICK OFFENDERS’ FACES/NAMES ON TV.
Let the under paid/worked/outcast incredible police force go after these people.
Thank you TPD/PCSD/US Military et. al….Thank you.
Yeah, let’s do an Obama bust in Tucson, to symbolize why almost all UofA grads move OUT of Tucson to Phoenix, because there are no jobs in this wasteland. Phoenix has the jobs though.
@Belle Jordan – You are the typical retard that explains why Tucson has no jobs other than a call center. smh.
Nice tongue in cheek Henry. Ain’t nobody got time to steal that.
Rip, I’m flattered that you’d confuse me with Dan. But make sure you read things fully before jumping down someone’s throat.
Obama is certainly not a superstar; the health care debacle proves that much alone. At the same time, I’m not convinced that anyone else who may have filled his desk chair would have done any different, policy-wise (Obamacare aside).
