3. So, now he's Harriet Tubman?
Add that to RFK, JFK, MLK, and however many others there have been so far.

Maybe Obama should just be...Obama.

4. Ummm ... Harriet Tubman died March 10, 1913
It's a little late to be worrying about her getting killed.

16. Katzenkavalier is a known racist and slavery supporter here

18. No I think perhaps just a person who plays coy, denies comparisons he/she is making and plays
"dumb" in order to play "gotcha"

Racism, if any, would seem to me to be of the unconscious variety.

17. Harriet Tubman was vastly overrated.
Everybody knows it was President Andrew Johnson who did all the real work.
