Why That Obama Victory Plate Isn't Worth Much

The Victory Plate

It's been 4 months now since I ordered the "victory plate." The money for two plates was withdrawn from my account. But I have not received the plates to date-5/07/09. Could this be a grand scam?

Reversal of the Obamole is not easily missed.

I noticed that very thing, and it's done in TV and movies quite often. Don't they know that viewers are all too aware of those lesions, hoping they won't show up at various angles? To see them reversed insults the intelligence of the observant viewer.

Barack Obama Face Reversed on Victory Plate

What's even worse than companies professing the Barack Obama Victory Plate will be worth something years from now, is that one company has his photographic likeness REVERSED on the plate. In other words, the mole on Barack Obama's face near his nose is shown on the LEFT side of his face on this plate, when in actuality it is on the right side. Daaaaaah. I wonder how many people have noticed that!

The company even claims to be the offical victory plate site:

This is pretty disturbing to me, if you are going to do something like this, do it right.

killing the joy over victory

let people enjoy the moment so if the plate and coins are not

worthy nothing so what, most of the things they put out now

arent worthy anthing anyway.what the big dial the bible tell us

not to judge.and just maybe the plate and the coins are as close as we will get to obama let the people injoy this history

momenment let buy they want it their money, people know the coins are not real. but it something to pass on to grandchildren

older grandparent, that a dream has come true.that we have wait for for years.most gold aint gold.they sell foney shoes fake clothes flake furs and people pay big money for them.so let the people injoy their leader in any way they can.Gog Bless all of you. and I say keep the joy flowing. but know when to stop.spending.
