Thanks again for the tip, V.H.

You know... with his love of all things Roman (make that: all bad things Roman; he doesn't seem to be for the Roman Empire's good things, such as a strong military that takes no nonsense), maybe Obama the Caligula-wannabe could be called Emperor Arugula. Just sayin'.

That one can go along side the DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN newspaper.

"Emperor Arugula I".

I like it! We should make that stick.

I think this is a shrewd business move. They should keep a few back too - the few remaining coins will be worth ten or 20 times the amount they are now when everyone is done throwing them away in disgust after the election. :D

They won't last that long...they are all just foil-wrapped chocolates; it's symbolic.

The Obama Coin should have minted as a Wooden Nickel

Like Billy Beer, they'll be worth $2.00 on E-Bay in 5 years

Gotta love it. It's not just a coin--the box says "In God We Trust - The President" . . . again, I think they are getting a little ahead of themselves.

Busy Democrats won't even have to show up on election day to vote. He's already the president, after all!

Gee, when a Ron Paul Liberty Dollar was issued, the mint got raided.

Why do I get the feeling you won't see any such thing happen here?

HEIL KAISER?!?

They should have changed the box lettering to read: "In teleprompters I Trust" and the last line should read "The Communist Agitater" Sounds like the truth to me.

These might be collectors' items one day. ;-)

Let's not forget this little gem courtesy of CBS.

These coins remind me of the pictures you always see on every wall everywhere in Communist countries of their Leader.

When they got in touch with the Democrats the party jumped at the chance.

Yeah, I bet they did. Their love of spectacle and delusions of grandeur made this a natural choice; they were probably pissed they didn't think of it themselves. It's been well established that foresight is not the left's forte, but wouldn't you think that somebody, anybody at Dem HQ would have looked at this plan and said, "You know, that looks a bit presumptuous and might make BHO really look bad. I mean, that's what emperors and dictators do, after all?" But then, much of the left has never met a totalitarian they didn't like, so maybe it didn't occur to any of them.

Its like buying furniture when you still live in your car. The whole idea is preposterous and arrogant.

I wouldnt even give a kid one to drop into a wishing well their wishes wouldnt come true

We can take the coins and send them to Obama's poor brother who lives in the hut on $20 USD a month. I'm sure he can sell them for scrap or something.

Canada has the loonie (which is so appropriate here as well), now America has the "Moonbat". It will replace the Sac in a heartbeat. Just think, you can go to the movies with a family of four for just 40 Moonbats.

They managed to make Obama look like Mussolini...Chin up, jaw out, kinda squinty.

Case in point:

Actually rather amusing considering ol' Benito was kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel for dictators. So not only does he look like an evil dictator, he looks like one of the dumbest.

Scary to think this is how his *supporters* see him...

The picture of Hussein should have pictured him eating his beloved waffles. "Why can't I just eat my waffle?"

Xerxes coins in the movie "300" come to mind

Jesus said a man can't have two masters - it's eitehr God or Mammon.

Obamessiah worshippers have finally found a way to have both!

Why not print three-dollar bills with BHO on the front and the 'Possumus' seal on the back? Or, you know, the Republicans could. And put some of "The One's" (and/or his substitute's) scarier quotes as legends. "Obama will put you to work."

Just sayin'.

Sol Rosenberg - you disgust me.. just as the guy who also attempts to correlate Obama to Hitler and Benito.

"Scary to think this is how his *supporters* see him"

Funny thing about that... it's a private, entrepreneurship company who is producing these.. I did not read anywhere of their *support* of Obama or the DNC. I guess Sol has more insight into this.

Patrick

You disgust me. Anyone that would vote for that baby killer needs to be aborted themselves.

I beleive they charge 200 Moonbats for abortions in Ilinois.

Sol - my response was based on facts of your attempts to connection Obama with Benito.

Where do you get the facts that I am voting for Obama?

By the same way you got that I was comparing Hussein to Benito Mussolini. That was danger high voltage. All I did was to compare the Canadian Loonie to the American Moonbat. Please take your time and read the posts.

PS While I do not necessarily believe that Hussein is like El Duce, Obama is a socialist so deep in that philosophy it is scary, ie, class envy, firm belief in the death tax (against inheritance), high taxes, anti-business and much government ownership.

Mr Willard Wigan MBE From: HRH Prince Of Wales England

As you know he has submitted his personal endorsement of Obama and would like to come over to the US and give his support on a talk show while at the same time appeal to the US market.

In the past the agents of Willard Wigan MBE have been in talks with Oprah Winfrey and as you already know Willard Wigan is the most famous micro sculpture artist in the world. Willard Wigan continues to baffle scientists and doctors that are amazed by his work; and refer to him ‘as the eigth wonder of the world’.

He stated to us last night that he is going to produce a one of micro sculpture of Barack Obama inside the eye of a solid gold needle. His collection of work recently sold for $22 million dollars to a Mr David Lloyd (Davis Cup).

The story of Willards abiltiy makes a great read and one that the UK and US media and audience would fall in love with. As a child in Birmingham, England Willard Wigan helped create complete housing including, tables and chairs for homeless ants.

One day, know doubt; Hollywood or Disneyworld will pick up on this story and transform into a world-wide childrens novel.

Mike can you please get in touch with some of your network contacts and try to arrange a talk show slot for Willard Wigan. The idea is that he will fly over to America submit his personal support for Obama showing of the coin and also show of his own newest creation of Barack

Obama in the eye of a solid gold needle. Obviously, all this will be complimented by his unique childhood story and his unbeliveable skill, as ‘the eigth wonder of the world’.!

Over the last few days there has been a lot of media coverage concerning the Obama Gold Coin, which was first minted in Birmingham, England. We, (Winston, Elizabeth and Windsor) created the coin, as a piece of art and a symbol for hope and change.

Winston, Elizabeth and Windsor (WEW) were the first and original company to create and found the concept of a Barack Obama Presidential Coin. The concept was generated after hearing Barack Obama’s moving speech in Europe, which was like a breath of fresh air that came over the Atlantic and promised hope for the future.
The people of Europe felt they were able trust, empathise and communicate with Mr Obama, as a true leader of the people; for the people. As a result, (WEW) felt it necessary to honour Mr Obama due to his past and present lifetime achievements, as a man of great influence and a true leader for the people.

Some critics have stated; ‘the Democratic Party should denounce the coin’s production as inappropriate, as no coin should bear the image of a living person’. However, the people of England and mainland Europe feel that Mr Obama is exempt from this rule, as he represents a great nation, which finally deserves a great leader. Mr Obama will never back down in the face of great difficulty or challenge but instead gives birth to an idea; the possibility that anything or anyone can rise up and achieve their ambitions - even the American dream?

WEW confirms; we are minting a normal run of unlimited (Obama Gold Coins) and also a limited edition of (500 Solid-Silver Obama Coins) both hallmarked in Birmingham, England with 20% of all sales going to a US charity.

WEW confirms, ‘yes’ it is true; a number of celebrities in the USA and UK have personally requested that we reserve a range of both Gold and Silver Obama Coins.

WEW confirms, ‘yes’ it is true; the first public display of the Obama Gold Coin was shown at the Birmingham Arts Fair in England and was hosted by UK Fine Arts. During the show England’s number one, world-renowned artist Mr Willard Wigan MBE also submitted his endorsement for Mr Obama and his campaign stating;
‘he would like to volunteer his personal services towards the Obama campaign’.
Mr Willard Wigan’s work is described, as ‘the eighth wonder of the world’ and was reportedly sold for $22 million dollars also submitted his personal endorsement.

Thank you for taking the time to read this statement and I hope you continue to give your support…
