Obama makes North American Bison National Mammal.....

[MMC]

Move over, bald eagle; you've got company.

The North American bison became a national symbol of the United States on Monday, as President Barack Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law. The legislation adopts the once-nearly extinct species as the country's official national mammal.

The House and Senate moved on the legislation last month, which sought to put the bald eagle on equal footing with the bison as an official symbol of the U.S. Bald eagle lovers need not worry. Contrary to rumors, the law does not mean the bald eagle has lost its status. The move followed lobbying from a varied coalition of conservationists, tribal groups and ranchers.....snip~

It would be more fitting for him to have named the weasel as a monument to himself.

Yeah the same can be said for the House and Senate. Now they can say they came together over that Bi partisanship issue they are always talking about.

Some real important work here.....huh?

Your tax dollars at work . National mammal? Good $#@!ing grief. What's next "national fish", "national insect?" You'd think if they were going to waste tax payer money on such drivel they'd at least pick critters that ranged across most of the country.
How about a National rock?

Yes we would, because just like the "national mammal" it's a waste of time and money
