Not a bad idea, because that is where you can park your behind when you are in between jobs. Because somehow, businesses will feel the incentive to expand and create new jobs with higher taxes and increased gov't regulation.

A wooden bench is all the furniture anybody will be able to afford when president obama starts consfiscating an even larger chunk of your paycheck. When they say they're going to "tax the rich" that of course means anyone not on welfare.

"Great. That Doug Fir comes from National Forests in the Northwest. Salvaged wood would be patriotic AND support Obama. First-cut timber is just stupid." Agreed. Although I'm no Obama supporter I admire the initiative - just not the execution.

No, they should use a light wood and just artificially darken it.

Those benches look a tad white. They should use some sort of darker wood.
