Y'all just born yesterday? Being President is a pretty big deal and this kinda crap gets Made/Marketed/Sold with each new President. Obama has been elected President, SURPRISE! Here's your crap!!

Who buys this crap? And those stupid fake coins?

Is it the plate or the coins that they keep advertising on CNN? The most recent commercial is cringe-worthy and annoying.
 
Those faux collector coins are hilarious. Anyone see the Corvette coin with the light up headlights?

I wonder why they didn't do that with Obama's eyes, or make a light up halo for him. 😛

hehe, yup. The stand up Twin Towers has to be the worst though. It is because of these things that Americans got the "Tacky" tag.

The theme song for his inauguration should be "Cult of Personality"

Seriously, there is a disturbing amount of worship and idolatry among his followers. Haven't seen anything like this since Kennedy, and even that wasn't this disturbing. More like Jim Jones. The strange chanting of "Yes we can" like some sort of religious cult chant at his acceptance speach was creepy as hell. Seriously, I would bet money if he had started handing out Kool-Aid, the people mindlessly chanting would have drank it.

Um, you weren't even born when Kennedy was killed. How the fuck would you know? Read it in some book somewhere or saw a special on Discovery Channel?

Besides, these stupid commemorative plates and coins are nothing new.

I too, am sick of people looking to Obama as the "messiah," he is just another president, another head of state, and another commander in chief. He may promise change, but he alone can not cause that change, he has to rely on those in congress to pass his ideas in law.

..as soon as the inauguration occurs, the in the tank media will spin "every thing's just fine, the obama is president now". It will be a "told you so moment" for the obama's willing accomplices.

So you voted evil to spite the liberals once Obama gets his comeuppance? You do realize that voting against your conscience makes you evil too, right?

So what if I read about it?
