[quote=Anonymous]I agree that MLK looks angry and oppressive in that statue. And I hated the outsourcing to China. But the WWII memorial has set a VERY high bar for Worst Memorial on the Mall. That thing is godawful, tells us nothing, evokes nothing. Just an exercise in how much granite can we use. I also use the term "soviet" when describing it. The FDR is one of my favorites, though I know that the man himself wouldn't agree with me (too much, too big, wheelchair as PP mentioned). It tells us so much about the era and his principles, and has an excellent narrative flow for something as static as a granite memorial. It includes his wife, who was a major influence on an important part of our history. And it's pleasant. The best, though, is Teddy Roosevelt. I think he would have loved it. Larger than life, presiding over a wilderness, removed from the crowd... [/quote]
