Can't get enough of Barack Obama? How about an Obama license plate?

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White today unveiled an "Illinois Salutes Barack Obama" temporary license plate, which can be used for 60 days beginning Tuesday.

The plates feature a smiling President Obama, seemingly gazing towards your temporary numbers. A waving American flag fills the background.

The plates are only good through April 17. They cost $50 -- with proceeds benefiting Illinois libraries.

The temporary "special event" plates are available at www.ila.org/obama.

Good for sixty days? That should just about coincide with the economy under our fearless leader.

The official Obama license plate was issued long ago.

$50 bucks for 60 days with the money “going to the libraries for our children”. They should have charged $100.

$50 for 60 days? That’s a good deal. (sarc/)

At the federal level, there is a law about not putting the likeness of a person on a stamp or coin until after his death...this is a slippery slope indeed.

I predicted that Illinois would have Obama plates on Nov 17! Nostrapepsi strikes again! Socialists are so easy to predict!

That’s a zero each of the next four years. It should be saved for “prosperity.” If we survive, that is.

I continue to be amazed at how strong the delusion really is. I can see why the good Lord said that if He didn’t cut these days short, even the elect would be at risk.

You're right. There are actually 5 zeros on that plate.

I'm working on those "PBO" letters right now, but Jim would probably suspend me for the acronym I have in mind.....
