I'm not one to begrudge a fellow American making a buck

[CatWoman]

but I think these are ever so tacky

[babylonsister]

1. My dad has a prez plate of Nixon hanging in the bathroom, where

it belongs. :D

[CatWoman]

2. LOL!!

"he is NOT a crook!!"

:rofl:

[hlthe2b]

7. only if it is in the bottom of the bowl...

actually that's the spot that should be reserved for the Bush*/Cheney plate.

[kirby]

3. Aren't they tacky?

For a second I did thank about getting one as a Christmas gift for a die-hard Republican. I almost thought that would be funny.

If you say The Daily Show, you'll notice that they were in such a hurry to make the plates, the back of that plate doesn't even the correct Electoral count. Its got 27 undecided.

[AtomicKitten]

4. They're craptacular.

[CatWoman]

there goes my favorite cartoon!!!

:hi:

[AtomicKitten]

12. we have operators waiting .... act now and we'll double your order of crap!

:hi:

[CatWoman]

13. they should issue plates bearing that toon

:)

[valerief]

5. A few years ago a bought a second-hand plate of Jack and Jackie.

But then, I cultivate tackiness.

[grantcart]

6. In 1978 I visited a Seminary in Vietnam that the communists converted to a

beaded bamboo curtain factory making bamboo curtains that had the image of Lenin and Marx on them.

They looked like this but not as good.

[CatWoman]

10. hahahaha

is that the Taco Bell Chihuahua?

:)

[sandnsea]

8. People will pass up a quality item

to buy that piece of shit too, that's what astonishes me.

[sufrommich]

9. They are tacky,but my grandma had every tacky doodad

ever issued for JFK. If Obama inspires that kind of affection (no matter how tacky)it's a good thing.

[AlCzervik]

11. terrible, it reminds me of the 9/11 commemorative coins.

[spoony]

24. Those were so awful.

I remember one that proudly declared it was made from silver recovered from the site, and another that had...pop up twin towers. Or maybe they were the same and my brain couldn't handle that much icky in one object and split them into two. Ugh.

[supernova]

14. Franklin Mint stuff and the like is very tacky, IMO

And the PE looks like a mannequin on that plate. :crazy:

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Are operators standing by?

If not, count me out.

[Swamp Rat]

16. Gross!!

:hi: CatWoman :hug::loveya:

[CatWoman]

21. SWAMPY!!!!

:hi:

:loveya:

great toon!!! :rofl:

[JuniperLea]

17. Indeed...

I can't wait for the official presidential picture though. I have my granny's JFK picture. It needs a new frame. When the President Obama picture is released, I'm going to get one, and put him and JFK into matching frames.

[raouldukelives]

18. Laugh it up suckers!

I'm ordering 100 to keep in mint condition. 20 years from now they'll fund my retirement. Gotta be safer than my 401k.

[gratuitous]

19. Think of it as a quick IQ quiz

On the order of: What would you rather have, (A) money or (B) this hunk of Mount Crapmore?

If someone you know answers "B", then you'll know not to use big words or complex sentences around them. Oh, and type slowly when sending them an e-mail, because you know they don't read very fast.

[JuniperLea]

20. A fool and his money are soon parted... eom

[Forkboy]

30. How did the fool get any money in the first place?

These are the things that keep me up nights. :freak:

[JuniperLea]

32. LOL...

I know!

Dumb luck, methinks. Too many dollars and not enough sense:)

[AlCzervik]

22. but they could display right near their Kinkade "paintings".

[CatWoman]

23. did you know that you're one of the smartest guys on DU?

:hi:

:loveya:

[gratuitous]

41. That's why I bought TWO

One for show and one for the dough!

:loveya: back

[Burma Jones]

25. Back in the day, a fraternity I frequented, the TKEs..

had laminated photos of Ronald Reagan on the bottoms of their toilet bowls and the sides of their urinals.

[MarkInCA]

26. Reminds me of the Diana plates and stuff

I see in antique and thrift stores.

Funny but the other item I see all the time in thrift stores that makes me laugh is the Rush Limbaugh books. Every single store I go to with books, there they are.

[Fumesucker]

27. Eh, it's not painted on black velvet...

Could be *way* tackier.

[crispini]

38. I'd buy that, but only if Obama is also wearing a sombrero.

:evilgrin:

[GReedDiamond]

40. Here's the next best thing...

...or, worst worst thing, more accurately.



"Black Velvet Commander Codpiece"

A sarcastic friend gave this to me as a xmas present a coupla years ago.

Don't have a place for it on my walls, though, so I keep it in a very hidden place.

[Fumesucker]

44. Your "friend" is definitely warped..

My kind of people.. :)

[surrealAmerican]

45. That's hysterically funny.

The absolute perfect treatment for that image.

[treestar]

28. At least it's not as bad as the 911 crap

That (the probably) same company was hawking.

[qwlauren35]

29. You must not be the targetted market.

Different people will hold onto different mementos. I think it's a nice plate with a good picture of him.

A lot of people are buying the commemorative November 5th Washington Post. Is it really all that different?

Right now, I'm holding onto my memories, but I think I'll be saddened if I don't make a small scrapbook of this event in history - not for anyone else, but just for myself.

[Forkboy]

31. I think they're awesome! In fact, I'm going to call and order one right now!

[CatWoman]

35. the job is not finished until the paperwork is done

:hi:

:loveya:

[Midlodemocrat]

33. It is just like you to shut down my enteprenurial spirit and endeavor.

:(

[CatWoman]

36. ROFL, Midlo

:rofl:

[tabasco]

34. What's wrong with it?

$20 isn't too bad for a ceramic plate with a nice pic.

They probably rip your ass off on the S&H though.

[CatWoman]

37. you're in luck

it's only $6.99

:)

[hootinholler]

39. I'm holding out for the snow-globe!

Hmmmm. Wonder what a vendor permit costs for Jan 20?

-Hoot

[NNN0LHI]

42. I got mine. Why do you hate Merika?

:hi:

[Octafish]

43. Let me know where I can get one of those embossed on these babies...

I look like Jabba the Hut's fat uncle in mine,
but with the right decal I could unload the truckload
I bought with my loan from AIG.
