They thought they were buying a piece of history but many customers now say they were ripped off.

“The parallels of this and the Obama presidency are many.”

The coin is a metaphor for this counterfeit administration.

Did these morons actually think the US mint had struck a new coin for The One? Really?

If they are that stupid, they deserve to be separated from their money. Money deserves to be in smarter hands.

These coins are very good representations of Obama.

Neither he or the coins come with a certificate of Authenticity.

And if you remove the sticker over Michelle-Omarosa’s face, it is really Aunt Esther.

The American people were similarly sold a fraud with Obama’s presidency ...a colorful sticker over raw socialism.

I was at Bath, Bed, and Beyond a couple days ago and when I got to the cash register, there was a pile of boxes of those “Obama commemorative diner plate” you saw advertised constantly on tv last month. Right next to all the other “As Seen On TV” crap they are selling at a discount as well.
They were selling them marked down for 5 bucks! I’m sure those things are real high quality.
I got one and going give it to my father, the lifetime republican, as a gag gift for his birthday. He’s going to looooooove me.

Now they can take the fifty cent pieces and buy one of those valuable Obama plates.

To use the language of our enemies...

there's something very karmic about this turn of events.

It should have been a Kenyan coin.
Other than that, it is the perfect Obama coin: Paper-thin, multi-colored, an image with no substance, and a fraudulent pitch.
