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

Because of welfare we have exceeded the “there’s a sucker born every minute” rate by a wide margin.

This made my day. There is one born each minute. Save them—they may be valuable someday just like my old WIN button from the Ford Days. Soon, all too soon, all the Obama Junk will be in the Dollar Stores and Thrift Shops.

Those selling these coins know better than anyone that “a liberal and their money is soon parted”.

“I got one and going give it to my father, the lifetime republican, as a gag gift for his birthday.”

Does he shoot skeet? He may find the plate useful after all!

Some years ago, I read an article here on FR concerning some people who had been ripped off by con artists. The "victims" had been told they were entitled to millions of dollars in "slavery reparations", and so they filled out their tax forms to reflect this information. Not only did they NOT get a cent of tax payer dollars-and they DIDN'T become Instant Millionaires as they were told they would be-but the IRS actually penalized them for submitting a fraudulent claim. Apparently, quite a few people nationwide fell for this fraud.

As I went to the link to the full article and saw an image of the somber older couple who were so sure they were entitled to take money out of my and my friend's, family's , and coworker's pockets, I thought, "I will never see anything on FR that will make me feel so happy again".

This article comes close.

Vindictive? Spiteful? Whatever! The people who voted for that worthless POS BHO did so out of greed (they think they are getting freebies) or blatant stupidity ("always vote for the Democrat because they're for the little guy", white guilt, they thought it was 'kewl' to vote for him-bandwagon voters, etc). I dare say most of the buyers of BHO memorabilia are those who voted for that creature. I believe BHO will either destroy the USA, or at least damage it irreparably. So am D****d if I won't rejoice at every hardship, major or minor, that befalls his supporters.

“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.”

LOL. I saw them at BBB before Christmas, and thought about buying one of the plates for my mom as a gag, but did not have the heart. As I am a victim of Obama induced Turrets Syndrome myself, I did not want to make Christmas any more stressful for her.

The "Coin product" is nothing more than a reflection of the IMAGE it salutes.

BOTH the Coin and the President are a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT to those that expected something AUTHENTIC. Buyer Beware!

I remember getting an email about those coins. Also offering a JFK half dollar coin as an extra incentive.
