USA Today, which recently raised its newsstand price from 75 cents to $1, will print a special Obama edition it will sell on newsstands for nearly five times that.

The newspaper says it has published a special issue titled “Obama: The Historic Journey” which will be available on newsstands Jan. 8 and will cost $4.95. It includes biographies of both Barack and Michelle Obama and Joe and Jill Biden, excerpts from several key Obama speeches, inaugural stage and parade maps and features on everything from presidential children to First Lady dresses.

The $4.95 paper will also contain advertisements, but USA Today justifies the price by saying the paper is unique. “It follows the model of USA Today and Sports Weekly special editions and reflects the standard price of these issues,” says senior vice president of advertising Brett Wilson. “These products have been very successful for us and we continue to have strong reader interest.”

It'll be interesting to see how this sells. Obamamania, if it actually ever existed, seems to dwindling: The Incredible Shrinking Inauguration Crowd.

I think the entire media world should come with a barf alert from now on.

Get used to this, folks. This will never end in our lifetimes. If he's in for eight years or four, we will be told about his wonderfulness nonstop from now on.

Looks like a desperate move to get idiot Dems to buy this crap as a form of a bailout for its rag.

Obama baseball hats and “commemorative plates” at Walgren Drugs stores.

“Collectable” gold plated coins with the image of Obama..

Streets already being named for Obama..
Schools will soon bear his name..
“Tee” shirts with his lovely visage — everywhere.
Major media has already anointed the Dalai Bama....

We now have OUR own Karl Marx, Mao Tse Tung, Hitler, Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-il.....
We have entered the era of a dumbed down America - worshiping an unaccomplished cult hero fabricated from myth...

Welcome to the future.....
