So Amanda was part of a gift exchange at work and she received this -

Now I am not making fun of the person that gave the gift (that would be rude and it is well known at Amanda's work that we went to the Obama rally so some good thought may have gone into this) But to read the spin they put on this -

"The First Presidential Dollar bearing the likeness of the "First African American President. In 2007 the United States Mint introduced the new Presidential Dollars series a collection celebrating each non-living U.S. President on a golden Dollar coin.  Four coins are issued each year so the minting schedule for each coin is limited to only about three months - this First 2007 Presidential Washington Dollar is no longer being struck by the United States Mint, making it a appropriate keepsake for another historic moment in Presidential history."

You can read it all here >>

Now this is not un-common, I remember the plates that they put out after Reagan got elected (and there have been a few of those released also with Obama on them) but come on!

Really? Its a sticker on a US dollar coin... PA-LEEZE!


In other news we are going to a Bulls game tonight through Amanda's job. Bryan and Sarah are coming too, so that should be fun. Its cold here and windy.. Good weather to stay in and warm.
