Obama plates
They’re selling Barack Obama plates.
See?
I’m not making this crap up.
Like he’s Elvis. Or Dale Earnhardt.
Can you believe that?
Think about it for a second. Someone is using capitalism to make money off the image of a socialist.
I’m not sure how I feel about that.
Anyway, we’ve got a cat. And we pamper that darn cat. Actually buy cat food for it. And I don’t mean Little Friskies in a box. I’m talking about stuff in pouches. And in cans. The single serving cans. That cost about a dollar each. I don’t know why. I mean, it’s a cat.
But, it does say one thing about us. We like the cat.
But still, we’ll put the cat food in a paper plate. Or in a used Stouffer’s lasagna container. Or something.
But, we’d never put it on a Barack Obama plate. I mean, I spend a dollar for a single-serving can of cat food. That means I like my cat. So I wouldn’t make the cat eat off a Barack Obama plate.
But, I assume there are some actual uses for a Barack Obama plate.
I just can’t think of any.

Skeet shooting. Seriously, it’d be perfect.

Don’t use it to feed the cat! He may get upset when he finds out Barry wants to spread his food around and go on a tyrannical killing spree. Then he probably wouldn’t get the whole single serving can. How tragic that would be…

I was thinking more along the lines of toilet seat, or something to that effect.
November 13th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
I was gonna say it’s useful when you run out of skeet, but as I was beaten to the punch, use it as a bed pan.
WOLVERINES!!!

C’mon folks. Let’s be serious. I figure they’ll be on the list for Maureen Dowd’s wedding shower. I think they sell the whole place settings at Target. Ohp…is she married already? No matter. The godless commies can always change spouses. In fact, the Obama china may just give her the reason to do it.

Sounds like it’s time to make a top 10 thingy:
5. Hanging one over your computer is a GREAT way to remind you why you need to vote Republican.
4. Send a dozen or two to John McCain, just to rub it in.
3. Ski-shoot a bunch, post the video on the internet, and watch as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton both have heart attacks.
2. Throw them as frisbees in the park and hope that some stupid dog think it’s for them and run away from their owner.
And the number one reason to buy Obama plates:
1. To savor the same sweet, sweet irony that you get every time you see a Che t-shirt.
November 13th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Sorry for only posting 5. It’s late and Survivor is almost on, and I am too tense from praying that that $(*&% Crystal finally gets voted off.

“1. To savor the same sweet, sweet irony that you get every time you see a Che t-shirt.”
Awwwww!!! Someone beat me to it! There is nothing more ironic than seeing some unshaven hippie college student in a Che shirt. Walk up to one sometime and point out how they’re supporting the capitalist machine by buying a Che shirt – just make sure you have a rain-slicker for when their head explodes.
November 13th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
As soon as I saw that picture a voice in my head yelled “Pull!”
November 14th, 2008 at 12:00 am
Those would have made good Halloween decorations in my neck of the woods had they come out a few weeks earlier.
November 14th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Use the Obama plate as a litter box. Small, yeah, but you could make it work. And kitty could scratch away at Obama’s beady little eyes…
November 14th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Hate to repeat myself, but …
2 Girls and 1 Obama Plate.
November 14th, 2008 at 12:30 am
I think this is a test product
of Obama’s Department of Peace and Justice.
If you fail to buy two of these,
you are a racist.
Watch the commercial-
SEE the white guilt assuaged by just a glance at the Obama plate on the desk.
Now you can own a piece of history!
or, several pieces of history,
if you use it to play frisbee golf.
November 14th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Wtf! “Barack Obama plates” is keyword for black! You racist honkey!

Truthfully, I’m surprised Randy is still around…..he’s the kind of guy that gets the axe by early in the game.
Sorry for the off topic……
Plates, hmmmm maybe a plant coaster? Or and oil pan?
November 14th, 2008 at 4:17 am
I’m sure he’s got some of that $600 million left in his campaign treasury. Maybe he could buy late-night infomercials to sell the Barack Obama plates. Maybe they could throw in a complimentary Barack Obama bobblehead doll to the first 1000 customers (just so long as Justice Roberts doesn’t get one; he might not know which to swear in).
By the way, I love that my Firefox spellchecker still flags both Barack and Obama as errors. Slow updates? Or showing the vastness of the right-wing conspiracy?

Chamber pot.

Buy a few hundred of them, package them in really fancy-schmancy packaging in sets of 16, and send them as gifts to the other world leaders (Sarkozy, Merkel, Brown, Putin-Medvedev, Harper, Calderon, Hu Jinao, etc.), with a note indicating that the Obama State Department expects them to be used as dinnerware at State dinners. I am sure that these world leaders will be delighted to receive and use them.

What? Like you’ve never seen a Che T-shirt before?
November 14th, 2008 at 8:07 am
My first thought was skeet shooting, but that was taken. Then I thought of a gift for the “pisboy” in the Mel Brooks movie (which name escapes me at the moment), but then I read #18 ss396…
PERFECT!!

Interesting, it comes with a “Certificate of Authenticity from the American Historic Society”…too bad He doesn’t. and they misspelled it
I can just imagine the 3rd world hellhole sweatshop these are made in, probably loaded with lead paint.
So I googled the “American Historic Society”:
Q: Where is the american historic society?
A: The American Historic Society belongs to the National Consumer Marketing (NCM). AHS seems to have gotten themselves in trouble with the Better Business Bureau due to poor customer service (over charging or charging for items not ordered). As far as I can tell, AHS has shut down their Website at this time.

I sent this to failblog.org but since they’re probably liberal pukes:
plate-o-fail
November 14th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Since you brought up cats….how ’bout using the plate as a litter pan?? On second thought, that would be grounds for siccing (sicking?!) the Humane Society on you….cruelty to animals….
November 14th, 2008 at 11:28 am
a poo poo platter
November 14th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Are you inferring you have Elvis and Dale Ernhardt plates? Gees Elvis was big. You only need 1 name for him….Elvis and you recognize who you are talking about. But if I said Dale you would have to ask which one. Toss a saucer and help keep the Elvis is alive in a flying saucer myth going.
November 14th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
If it were not for the cost, I think they would make great targets for shooting skeet. Pull…..Bang!! Pull…..Bang!!
November 14th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Those are “dieting” plates – they were designed by Jenny Craig. When you sit down to eat and see that photo surrounding your food, suddenly you don’t feel hungry anymore. In fact, many users are known to purge.
November 14th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I ordered a whole bunch of those plates. This Thanksgiving instead of turkeys, I’m handing them out to the poor people downtown. I’m thinking I might also trade them for crack.
November 14th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Lessee… I’m trying to make this work with the old story about the Soviet leader who supposedly said the “capitalists” would sell the commies the rope that the commies would use to hang the capitalists with…
November 14th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
That’s not all folks.. There are coins as well.
http://www.americanflags.com/co24gobaobco.html
Think this is so he will now look like all those other presidents. Wait, aren’t they all dead?
November 14th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
500 yd targets?
November 14th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Plates and coins and wait- the guy’s not even in office yet. Imagine what collector’s items these will be if some whack job bumps him off before swearing in. The President that never was. Then they’d have to rush the Joe Biden plates and coins. Unless they already have those in reserve.
I’ve thought about going to the inauguration just so when he says the part about defending and upholding the Constitution, I can shout out, “Oh, Really!?!”
November 14th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
This will come in handy as the steering wheel for O’s kiddie throne — the Steer and Stare. He likes himself. A lot.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Saw the coins advertised on tv.
For your viewing pleasure:

The sad thing is that people who cannot afford it are going to buy this crap.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
WTF? they’re just USED quarters, “gold plated”
1) One 24K Gold Plated 1965-1969 Washington Quarter-Dollar – The Childhood Years
2) One 24K Gold Plated 1976 Bicentennial Quarter-Dollar – The High School Years
3) One 24K Gold Plated New York Statehood Quarter – The College Years
4) One 24K Gold Plated Illinois Statehood Quarter – The Professor Years
5) One 24K Gold Plated Illinois Statehood Quarter – The Senator Years
6) 4×6 High Quality Coin Holder (as shown above)
7) Full-Color Coin Card (as shown above)
$39 for 5 old quarters
I guess there’s no 1961 Kenyan quarter for the BIRTH YEARS
wow, is there no bottom to the stupidity of these people?
November 14th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
During this introductory release, you can get the President Barack Obama Inaugural Dollar layered (aka PAINTED) in genuine 24 karat gold for only $9.95 and just $4.95 shipping and handling.
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t cost $4.95 to mail a quarter…or a half dollar with a sticker on it.
I’d love to be there when when of these crack addicts tries to spend one of these “uncirculated U.S. Mint Presidential Dollar by The New England Mint.”
Which is it? US mint…or New England Mint? last time I checked, they don’t make money anywhere in New England.
P A T H E T I C!!
November 14th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
I’m going to buy one and keep it forever, mostly for the same reason that people visit the Holocaust Museum.
Never Again.

DO NOT COMPARE THIS DOLT TO DALE EARNHART .DALE WOULD NOTHING TYO DO WITH HIS ARSE>
November 16th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Urp, gag….
So what do you think these yahoos will come up with next? Velvet Obama wall hangings! With the rhinestone studded jumpsuit with the pointy wingtip collar, or the dogs playing poker scene, but this will have him and his crew playing monopoly with all our taxes and 401k money!
Ya Think?
November 16th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Slug Traps! fill it with beer, set it next to the plants in the garden and whammo–the slugs drink themselves to death.
Sorta like certain segments of society with entitlements.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Just wait until the messiah-complex these Obamaniacs have comes full circle and we are treated to news stories about Obama’s face appearing in a taco, or in the bark of a tree or something.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:56 am
I wonder what the chances are that he’ll just wander off like some people think Elvis did. I guess one can always “hope”, it won’t “change” anything but we can hope.
November 17th, 2008 at 11:40 am
I vote for breaking it over a liberals head.
November 17th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Wow, I can’t believe no one has mentioend this yet . . . A Collection Plate, what better thing to use to ‘spread the wealth around’ And it is the cloest Obama will come to attending a mainstream regileous event.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:06 am
Those plates would look great with my Bill and Hillary salt and pepper shakers.
November 18th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Goes on the shelf next to my can of Billy Beer.

The only thing these plates is good for is a laugh : D

Are all these comments really from ADULTS????!!!!!! It’s disgraceful. I was forced to accept George W. Bush. I expect everyone else to do the same with Barack Obama. Plates and coins are silly, I admit, but the comments………..I can’t believe they are made by adult American citizens. It’s shameful.
January 24th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
yadeeyah, #48….we listened to ALL the liberal media bash bush for years…deal with it
