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.

UGH! Enough already! >:-O

With the crowd estimates dropping like a stone, and the inauguration rental market going bust with no turnaround in sight, one starts to wonder if maybe, like Obama's candidacy itself, the inauguration crowd size fever is a left-wing media creation.

Ya think?

The only answer I can honestly give you is: He was born half-black and somehow managed to get elected president of the US. The paper will be all about form and not function because only form exists. The rest will be filled with scribblings concerning the incredible potential of this futureware president.

He was elected because that’s who the media selected. I am aware of what is running this Country.

Yes but you might be able to sell the paper in 50 years for a huge profit. You can’t sell Charmin for a huge profit. I personally would not buy anything Obama because I am just not a Democrat, but I am sure it will sell like hotcakes. Did you hear the inaugural parade sold out faster than an AC/DC concert? That is amazing...lol.

I’ll wait until the second day, when it’s being sold for 40 cents—and then I still won’t buy it.

We now have OUR own Karl Marx, Mao Tse Tung, Hitler, Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-il.....

At least they believed in their principles (not good ones mind you). Obama does not even know how to lead. He does not even have any idea what to do. I think this is going to be very difficult for Obama to be the President. I think he will regret it a month from now.

It’s a forewarning of the Obama hyperinflation to come.

What is the big deal about one Obama Commemorative edition of USA Today?

I understand the New York Times and Washington Post plan on publishing 2,992 Obama Commemorative Editions.
