Enjoy the play “Hamilton,” but please don’t mess with $10 bill.

Among the 1,319 audience members set to enjoy Saturday’s matinee performance of the acclaimed musical “Hamilton” is Barack Obama. The opening number will sing of “the ten-dollar Founding Father without a father.” Although Obama is certainly well-versed in the life of the extraordinary Alexander Hamilton, the President’s few hours in the Richard Rodgers Theatre should provide fresh time for contemplating the supremely wrongheaded decision by Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to remove Hamilton’s picture from the ten-spot.

Like Obama, Hamilton barely knew his father and, as happened to Obama, dastardly political opponents repeatedly attacked Hamilton’s place of birth (the island of Nevis).

Both came to New York to study at Columbia College (once called King’s College) and made their first mark on the world with their writings, Hamilton with a quill, Obama with a computer.

Despite his humble start as a penniless, orphaned immigrant from the West Indies, Hamilton racked up unmatched stellar achievements, even if he did found the New York Post.

He was the only New Yorker to sign the Constitution, would pen most of the Federalist Papers and through lawyering would help establish precepts of constitutional law that Obama would teach law students two centuries later.

In private life Hamilton founded the Bank of New York, the country’s oldest. As George Washington’s first Treasury secretary (the first-ever cabinet member), he founded the central bank, created the federal budget and taxes, established debt and credit, and founded both the customs service and Coast Guard.

Believe it or not, all of this and more is wonderfully presented on stage to rousing song.

Lew is pursuing the noble objective of placing the first image of a woman on U.S. currency. For speed and bureaucratic convenience, he has chosen to dump Hamilton from the ten while leaving Andrew Jackson on the twenty.

Put the two men head-to-head and the call as to who should go is a no-brainer.

Hamilton was an abolitionist who never owned slaves. He helped found a college for Indians (today’s Hamilton College).

Jackson was a slave owner and Indian killer. He hated paper money, despised banks and shut the Bank of the United States.

Enjoy the show, Mr. President, while recognizing that it’s an uplifting stars-and-stripes production because it’s about a genuine American giant. Then recall “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,” the Broadway flop and horror show. Which is what exiling Hamilton and preserving Jackson would be.
