He sees himself as the Savior. He delivered his acceptance speech from a Greek temple set — which makes sense and all, considering he isn’t a mere human being, but a “lightworker”. His running-mate called him Barack America. He’s fashioned himself not just one Presidential seal, but two. He thinks America has no potential… unless we elect him President. He’s got his own little President chair on his very own redesigned Obama-jet. He thinks his campaign is the very first Presidential campaign EVER funded by the people. He even doesn’t sweat when he works out!
Phew. That’s a lot of arrogance in one campaign.
But hold onto your hats. We’ve now got… Barack Obama Presidential Coins!
A company in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter is making commemorative coins for American presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
And if the Democratic candidate is elected to become the most powerful man in the world on November 4, it could open the floodgates for millions of pounds worth of business for the firm.
Windsor, Elizabeth & Windsor has already sold more than 300 limited edition commemorative silver coins to the Democratic Party to hand out to key members of the campaign to elect Obama.
The contract is worth about £100,000 to the company, based on Warstone Lane, Hockley.
And a spokesman for WEW said they expected thousands more coins to be bought if Obama becomes president, which could bring millions into the small firm.
WEW is producing limited edition runs of gold, silver and platinum Obama coins, and plans to produce new ones in other finishes for public consumption if the demand emerges.
The coins already sold to the Democrats will be presented to the senators, congressmen, governors and other politicians they are being given to within the next two weeks.
There will also be a television advertising campaign launched in the US.
The company directors got the idea of producing the coins after seeing actress Meryl Streep talking about Barack Obama on a television programme.
When they got in touch with the Democrats the party jumped at the chance. And the coins have proved such a hit that locally produced versions have already been launched to compete with the UK originals.
The coins show Senator Obama’s face, along with a picture of the White House and the legend “President of the United States of America”.
So, Obama didn’t commission them himself. But the Democratic Party sure has jumped all over it, and he doesn’t seem to be telling them no.
I don’t know how much more absurd this campaign could get. You keep thinking that the Obamamessiah and his followers can’t get any more presumptuous, narcissistic, and egotistical, but they always manage to surprise you by stepping it up a little more.
And hey, what does it matter that Americans haven’t elected the Obamamessiah President yet? He’s decided it’s his already, and screw what us bitter religion-and-gun clingers in flyover country think.

Jarrod says: So if he loses are they going to do to these coins what they do with T-shirts for the losers of the Superbowl?
Somewhere in Kenya right now there’s some poor child who thinks the Patriots, Lakers, and Rockies are the champions of their respective leagues and has no idea…

Strange.. when I read the companies website: http://www.obamagoldcoins.com – I never saw that they list themselves as Obama supporters? From the look it just seems that they are a private, entrepreneuship company making a product to sell on the candidate that is making history (I mean the first african-american candidate and NOT the first african-american president).
Just like any other company that does the same thing.. they make items to sell, backing the horse (not calling Obama a horse, just using the analogy) that will make them the money.
“and he doesn’t seem to be telling them no.”
But of course, Obama (personally) should make comment, during his light schedule and politics, to comment on a coin made by an external entity, from another country who has nothing to do with the DNC.
After going through COUNTLESS forums with almost the EXACT SAME COMMENTS I have come to the conclusion that everyone is just commenting blindly on this, without actually getting facts… freedom of expression at it’s finest… oh wait.. would the coin not fall under the freedom of expression too.. oh, I guess not.. as it is just one companies artistic opinion. My mistake.
The Obama Coins which recently caused quite a stir due to the inscription “President of the United States” are now on sale to the public. The firm behind the coins has also responded to some of the controversy.
I notice you are making the Obama Presidential coin and I would like to offer you my personal condolences for this outrageously, repulsive idea. I also feel it necessary to warn you that this idea is a total waste of time, which will consequently ruin both you and your company financially and reputably. In a nut shell, I believe this coin belongs in the Smithsonian Institution right next to the Chicago paper that said ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’?
Obama will never become President of the United States because ‘we’ the true American ‘Christian’ people believe Obama to be both a Muslim and the antichrist. For those naïve Islamic sympathisers who disbelieve the election of Obama is a horror foretold, please see Revelation 13.

Not sure – he never lost – the coins are selling like hotcakes.. they have had to triple production due to demand…
john says: Wow, I wanted to see what others were saying about a company defacing coins from the United States mint, by pasting a picture of Barack Obama to a quarter and a Kennedy dollar. I can’t beleive what I am seeing.
The hate-speak of people who call themselves christians. These same people, who will stand on some street corner handing out flyers about Jesus and how he can save you from all your sins, and then they come out with a blog which supports paragraph after paragraph of thinly veiled racism under the name of christianity. You’re giving it a bad name, and I’m fine with that. At least Obama exists, unlike your imaginary friend who rose from the dead and was mothered with no sperm involved.
Is printing a coin before he gets elected all that much different than Jesus dying for your sins 2000 years before you were born? Does it make you feel better that you are going to heaven after printing all this hatred because someone was willing to hang on a cross for you? What have you done for HIM lately? Have you read his teachings? If you had, you would read what he says about love. Start with 1st Corinthians. You (Cassy) have C.S. Lewis’s book, mere christianity, on your Amazon wish list. I think you better read it. Maybe you can learn something about love.
Boy, you must be really mad now that Obama won. Bet it makes you want to go out in the desert and shoot your little gun. You better hurry up, cuz once they outlaw guns only gangstas will have guns.
And the book by Durham, the Lolita effect; You obviously haven’t read that yet either. I can tell by the picture of you in the bikini on your blog. Very nice by the way, I’m guessing they’re real. Wish you had more of those pictures, and less sarcasm and hatred on your blog. ~Maybe one with you in the bikini shooting your pistol~
Well, I think in the case of you, all we need to do is give you a chance to grow up. After all, you’ll soon be reading all those books, some written by Jews, some by christians, some maybe even by Atheists, and you’ll soon discover that there’s alot more to life and this big blue planet than the one religion your parents chose for you. They must be so proud.
There’s no such thing as Santa Claus. Jesus was from Nazareth, there are lots of ragheads there. Jesus was a raghead. He had no pockets, he didn’t need money, he was the messiah. Just like Obama. Only Obama is the leader of the country that is dropping bombs on Jesus’s homeland. You like bombs, don’t you Cassy? Irony at it’s best.
