首先的这位总统是开国元勋华盛顿,华盛顿率领北美十三个殖民地的人民,脱离大英帝国获得了独立,当之无愧的建国英雄。同时又在适当的时候放弃权力,缔造了美国共和国制度,位列突出责无旁贷。加拿大人怎么看华盛顿呢?草根写的《加拿大历史》提到华盛顿,用到的两个词“大奴隶主”和“自由战士”,完全引自一本加拿大人写的历史书的说法,详见《加入我们》。
另一位“地位”比较突出的是林肯总统,林肯总统是解放黑奴的伟大总统,然而林肯一开始打美国内战可不是为了解放黑奴,并且涉嫌非法发动战争。这以后草根扒《美国历史》的时候会提到。
躲在华盛顿后面的是汤马斯杰斐逊总统。杰斐逊是美国第三任总统,是美国立国精神的《独立宣言》的主要起草人。他还在1803年为美国从法国人手里买来了路易斯安纳,一下子让美国国土面积翻倍,今天美国的十五个州都来自于那一块买来的土地,不但为美国起草了立国之本,还为美国开疆拓土,当然应该占有一席之地。
这位挤在中间一脸可怜相的是第26任总统西奥多罗斯福,这位罗斯福总统还不是咱们经常提到的那位领导美国参加二战的罗斯福总统,这是那个更有名的罗斯福总统的叔叔。想起来西奥多罗斯福总统都有什么伟大业绩了吗?好像也没有什么里程碑式的功绩。对于谁应该被刻在山石上,可能每个美国人心中都会有自己的名单,其他三位入列的几率很大,就是这位罗斯福总统可能争议稍多。
据说伟大的雕塑家罗丹说过:“塑像其实就隐藏在石块之中,我所要做的,就是把它多余的部分切除掉而已。”
为了找到石头中隐藏的总统们,一共有45万吨石块被切除掉,九成是用炸药炸掉的。大块石头被去掉后,工人用手提钻继续清理,最后再用小型钻和钢钎把总统们挖出来。
