…which four presidents do you think belong there?

Here’s what some callers say:

Now showing (L-R):
George Washington, first U.S. President, “father of our country,” a lock.
Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president, wrote the Declaration of Independence.
Theodore Roosevelt, #26, started Panama Canal, monopoly “trust buster.”
Abraham Lincoln, (16th) freed slaves, held USA together during Civil War.

Which would you replace with presidents who served since?
Mount Rushmore was carved from October 4, 1927 to October 31, 1941.

Presidents post-Teddy Roosevelt, and until-carving-began:
William H. Taft
Woodrow Wilson
Warren G. Harding
Calvin Coolidge
(“Zzzzz…”)

Presidents since then:
Herbert Hoover
FDR: No other president was elected 4 times, or ever will be.
Harry Truman
Dwight Eisenhower
JFK: Hey, it’s “a monument,” “a memorial.”
LBJ
Richard Nixon
Gerald Ford
Jimmy Carter
Ronald Reagan: Iconic to many Americans.
George Bush Sr.
Bill Clinton
George Bush Jr.
Barack Obama: Still unproven, but undeniably historic. Put him next to Lincoln?

Which recent presidents belong on Mount Rushmore?
There’s only room for four, so who-now-showing there would you bump?
