My favorite example was the Obama coin touted by Montel Williams. Price $19.95 plus shipping and handling got you the Obama Commemorative Coin Set. The Illinois state quarter, the Hawaii state quarter, the John F. Kennedy Presidential half dollar and the George Washington Presidential dollar coins. That’s a grand total of two dollars worth of currency.

They were standard US coins with Obama decals applied.

Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen those commemorative plates at Walgreens for a while. I’d imagine that the idiots that bought them have taken them down from the display shelf.

I’m still looking for a good deal on a Obama lawn jockey.

Obama merchandise has gone from being used for hero worship to being used for target practice.

All the vendors at IAD (Dulles Washington Airport) are featuring “Miss me yet?” stuff.

Howz about a mass burning of Obama junk-O-phanalia on the mall after the loon looses his Orks in congress?

I tell you, this stuff is going to be priceless.

What would you give to own a case of Billy beer in unopened, mint condition right now?

By that I mean, own it for the purposes of selling it on eBay.

Will Obama fans be looking for a refund to help them get by in the hood?

Obama’s image would be good for target practice. Rev up the darts for your new dart board!

I would expect that sales of Obama Wipe are doing exceptionally well.

The vendors simply need to retool their inventory towards Obama dartboards and punching bags - sales would go through the roof.

Nothing.

Now you can get things cheap ... no doubt about it ... but we refuse to have evil in our house. Oh, I'm sure some seeps in but Obama is a clear personification of EVIL.

Does this mean he won’t get a third term by proclamation?
