Barack Obama is about to get passed around more than Sienna Miller.

New trading cards featuring the President-elect's face are being released from the Topps Company. There will be a total of 90 cards and they will contain fun facts and quotes about Barack.

You can own a piece of the prez for only $1.99. Two Obamas are better than one!

[OL Hickory]

Thank you so much...I just planned my kids college fund..
some left wing moonbat will pay top dollar for these!!

[Gondring]

[...] they will contain fun facts and quotes about Barack.

they will contain fun facts

No details on his birth and childhood, though!

quotes about Barack

Oh, don't tempt me!

[reaganixonbush]

I want the trading card where ZerObama actually says “...in these 57 states.”

[A message]

Topps just made one the worst decisions regarding one of their other properties putting hundreds out of work. I hope Topps eats these trading cards into bankruptcy oblivion.

[Red Steel]

Or the ABC interview “My Muslim faith....”.

[reaganixonbush]

LOL thanks for reminding me. Almost forgot about that little gem...

[John Leland 1789]

I wonder if someone could make some bucks putting together all of the conservative and anti-marxist/socialist images of Obama and producing an alternative set of trading cards. Id by some packs of those myself — ‘twould be fun.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

lol or Pakistan with a big red X through it.

[Gondring]

Does it come with cheese instead of bubble gum?

[happinesswithoutpeace]

That picture of him without his hand over his heart...

[KJC1]

And the clock ticks down to when defacing these cards is a “hate crime.” Like if they were found in a toilet somewhere...

[Gondring]

You’re welcome

[Smokin' Joe]

Sheesh!! They didn't even do this with the Kennedys and they had more of a team...

Maybe a deck of playing cards is next (51 because no Obama supporter is playing with a full deck...)

[OL Hickory]

Thanks again as a nooby, it says I can only post 1 time in24hrs..but this was too good to pass up..

Again thank you!!!

"Barack Obama is about to get passed around more than Sienna Miller."

I don't even want to think about the double-entendre there!!

What does Larry Sinclair have to do with trading cards?

Cigarette dangling out of his mouth...

& The African "turban" outfit...

[Gondring]

Or the ABC interview “My Muslim faith....”.

Did you hear that he chose "Renegade" as his Secret Service codename? The word means "traitor" and comes from Spanish as a term for those who deserted Christianity for Islam. Note The Renegado, or The Gentleman of Venice, a play in which a Christian converts to Islam and becomes a pirate.

Those are the special edition inserts.

[Gondring]

More info, including the JFK cards

[exhaustedmomma]

That explains why they didn’t go with Red 1

[OL Hickory]

Birth certificate card...

rarest of them all.

[Gondring]

Is “Renegado” trying to tell us something, I wonder?

[Red Steel]

Obama chose the appropriate code word then. Obama showing his I’m in your face arrogance?

[randomhero97]

I'm telling you, searching for his birth certificate would be like searching for the Holy Grail.

Maybe some of use freepers need to assemble a crack team of explorers and adventurers.

“surfer dude” in Hawaii

Bicyclist

[Gondring]

Well, we can’t assume he’s just ignorant (that would be racist, I’m sure), so it must be.

[exhaustedmomma]

fascist [there could be a whole "suit" on -ist]

[Smokin' Joe]

The cards also feature snapshots from his childhood in Hawaii, at Harvard Law School and his work as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago.

Ri-ight.

Amazing I missed the Kennedy cards, but they may not have stocked them where I grew up. Maybe because the 'Rat Finks' we were interested in were cartoons, too...

[Gondring]

Yes...his adoration of Marxism and Nazi techniques made me think he was largely a socialist, but his calling to use public funds to support private corporations is similar to Mussolini’s Fascism (Corporatism).

[exhaustedmomma]

Highest IQ ever... [can’t be ignorant][arrogant it is]

[teletech]

Obama who?

[AmericanGirlRising]

Hot dam*! I’ve just discovered my new EBay biz!

[OL Hickory]

now that’s funny!

[Red Steel]

A few days ago, I also looked up the etymology for the codeword 'renegade'. At the time, I thought the Secret Service made the assigned codeword, but you tell me that Obama personally picked it.

so it must be.

Yes. I think he relishes it.

[Lancey Howard]

I hope there’s a Larry Sinclair card included in the set.

[Sacajaweau]

I’d be willing to test this.....

[Into the Vortex]

Great! I've been wanting to show my nephews’ how to make their little mountain bikes sound kinda like a motorcycle!

As for me, I was getting bored with those little targets that turn green when ya hit them.

[lmc12]

never been in the batter’s box and already in the Hall of Fame, another “can’t miss rookie” teed up for failure, crushed by expectations.

[DooDahhhh]

THE crowning blow yesterday was the offering of the “plates” with his pic on ‘em; America deserves better than this!

[Gondring]

Rumors are swirling about about Michael Moore Baptizing Barack Obama in the Potomac River. . .

False.

Moore wouldn't go that close to water.

[Gondring]

‘zactly.

Like Geraldine Ferraro claiming incompetence as the reason for her tax “difficulties”... “Sorry, Gerry, but it’s not an excuse that makes me want to vote for ya!”

[Animaltrout]

Michael Moore is having water wings custom made by Firestone!
