Activists Deface Mount Rushmore with Obama

A group of environmental activists connected with Greenpeace unfurled an enormous banner showing President Obama's face and calling for an end to global warming.

The 65-foot by 35-foot banner — which read "America Honors Leaders, Not Politicians: Stop Global Warming" — was hung to the immediate right of Lincoln at about 10 a.m. local time, said Patty Rooney, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service's Midwest Regional Office.

She said an undetermined number of people were taken into custody following the incident.

Authorities were too busy keeping mini-vans with fish bumper stickers under surveillance to stop the "attack" on our National Monument.
