ANTIGUA WANT TO CREAT OBAMA MONUMENT

NewsOne reports that Antigua(which is an island in the West Indies) is planning to develop an Barack Obama Monument similar to the heads on Mt. Rushmore.

Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer says his government wants to create Mount Obama Monument and National Park with a new network of hiking trails. He also plans a museum with entertainment and educational facilities.

Spencer says Mount Obama will be a “beacon of hope for all people.”

He outlined his plan to reporters Monday. He did not say how much it would cost or how the government of the dual-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda would pay for it.

The 1,319-foot (402-meter) mountain is currently known as Boggy Peak. It will be renamed on Aug. 4 — Obama’s birthday. Spencer says the U.S. president will be invited to the ceremony
