Keep the Confederate statues up, but put Obama on Mount Rushmore and/or on the $100 dollar bill.

Too many crazies on the left. They'll never be satisfied.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
What's wrong with my proposal? Obama is the first black president and has a very high approval rating. He should get a place on Mt Rushmore. What's wrong?

No question that Obama currently is, and will be ranked by history as a top tier president, within the top 15 if not top ten.
I like the humour of your idea.
But, I have never liked the idea of deifying American presidents. I mean, Mount Rushmore is a bit over the top, when you think about it. It has the foul whiff of how totalitarian states deify their dear leaders. And I do not think it respects America's founders who were largely men of the enlightenment, of the renaissance, men who in theory stood against the divine right of kings and privilege.

Good point. Obama is an even better candidate to be used as the symbol of racial healing from a historical perspective. Black and white, embodied in one popular president. The personification of racial harmony.
Too bad that Trump supporters just see him as another black immigrant from Kenya. But their opinions will soon be irrelevant.
