Why Master Chief? He's just a faceless old deathdrone, a symbol of just how awful the future have gotten in the Halo universe. I mean, he's even called a Spartan, darnit. In this day and age, a statue of an unlucky person reduced to a militaristic single-function killer bio-robot is the last thing that would look neat on the White House lawn. But then again, it is a fun little silly petition, and I think I'm just reading a bit too much into things as usual. And I'll be honest, it would be quite nice if they ever do build it, somehow.
Do give me a shout if you need a signature for a statue of Princess Celestia, however.
Oh, and another complaint. Since he's pretty much just decked out in a tin suit built by Mountain Dew or something, how much would the artist have to work with? They could give him a gun. Or a... Different gun. No hats, no fabulous boots, no nothing. That just isn't statue material.
