Greenpeace activists were arrested Wednesday for scaling Mount Rushmore and hanging a banner next to the carved face of Abraham Lincoln urging President Barack Obama to get tough on climate change. A video posted on the environmental group's website showed the massive banner hanging on the South Dakota mountain face. Its message""America honors leaders not politicians: Stop Global Warming" and an unfinished portrait of Obama"was barely visible as it was whipped by wind.
