[UPDATE]: I don’t know if the Bush $200 bill really counts, Glenn. It’s pretty clearly making (more or less gentle) fun of the President, not complimenting him.
On the other hand, at two-for-a-buck? It’s currently worth more.
(Via Glenn Reynolds) It’s not the end-of-the-world or anything, but it’s just weird:
…and I can’t wait for the stories to crop up about somebody actually trying to buy something with these. Because you know that somebody will.

I really wish you guys had a sense of history...
NightTwister (Diary) Sunday, February 8th at 10:17AM EST (link)President Ronald Reagan actually accomplished stuff important to our nation (more so than most Presidents in history).
All President Obama has accomplished so far is getting elected.

PD, there is a difference........... I "hope" you can see that, because if not, the
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Sunday, February 8th at 10:20AM EST (link)….. and before you go off on some sort of tangent that may bring on an appearance by Happy Bunny, I think”novelty” US Currency is not a good idea at any level, no matter who or what is the subject.
The difference here is that President Obama and his people are out in the open usurping and violating much of our nation’s beliefs, heritage and operational standards. Marketing of merchandise and mind-numbing
Don’t even begin to say that about President Reagan.
Dang it, I hit enter by accident....... I'll finish here......
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Sunday, February 8th at 10:23AM EST (link)I “hope” you can see that, because if not, the “change” that’s coming is going to hit people harder than anyone can imagine who thinks this guy really is some sort of Messiah.
Marketing of platitudes, contracting to subversive agencies like ACORN and mind-numbed lemmings who only see an American Idol way of doing things are what got this current person office holder in place.
Cheers !
PD- It would be nice if you would get a sense of humor
Scope (Diary) Sunday, February 8th at 10:28AM EST (link)because it is obvious that that was what it was meant to be, in addition to pointing out just how dumb some can be by trying to spend the fake money.
Why am I not laughing at this ?
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Sunday, February 8th at 10:10AM EST (link)The ego level of the man is such that when he tries to grab the president-for-life designation, the currency will have his mug on all denominations.
Before that happens though, I’m fairly certain the currency of The USA will shift from dollars and gold to brass and lead.
I’m sorely tempted to buy some of this stupidity and leave tips with ‘em just like that first commenter on the Amazon site said he was going to do.
One wonders whether or not Timmy-boy’s Treasury Department / Secret service will look into these items and their designers / sellers as they may take the implication of actual currency, even though the opposite is obvious. Here’s a thought – I think they’ll go after the intent – if it’s a mocking biting parody, they’ll prosecute. If it’s an “Honor Teh Mess-I-Yah” thing, they’ll leave it be – and maybe sell some themselves as “uncirculated novelties”.
Love the tipping idea
charlesmartel Sunday, February 8th at 11:39AM EST (link)I live in NYC, so there would be a never ending stream of blatant Obama supporters to leave this for. That waitress at the diner sporting the little Obama pin on her apron strap, the bartender at the pub with the huge Obama/Hope sign on the front window and the F*** Bush sign inside, the cabbie blaring NPR as it broadcasts a socialist rally from Madison, Wisconsin. I’m sure all of these fine people will be happy to accept one of these beautiful commemorative Obama bills in lieu of a tip. After all, I’m sure my tax dollars will be redistributed to them sometime very soon…
Reminds me of the $3 bills they made of Clinton...

Don’t leave the party, hijack it back!
The only poll that counts is the one at the ballot box.
I don’t want to be Reagan. I want to be a Chance/Soros hybrid.
