Car Talk
Posted by Michelle Moquin on March 24th, 2009
Check this out: More than 1,400 specialty license plates featuring an image of President Barack Obama have been purchased in Illinois in the past month. Is this a first that a president has graced a license plate? Or is this the only president that I want on my ass on a daily basis? And I mean the ass of my car for your perverted minds out there. Although…if I really thought about it…No, no, no….Just kidding…I’m not gonna go there. :)
So…back to the plates. The plates sell for $50 a pair, and have raised $50,000 for the Illinois Library Association, a 2010 summer reading program. The program provides catalogs and brochures to local libraries encouraging youths to continue reading during the summer months. I think it’s a cool idea.
Library association chief Robert Doyle said the idea for Obama plates originated in December in the secretary of state’s office. The goal was to have them ready by the presidential inauguration.
The plates, which read “Illinois Salutes President Barack Obama,” went on sale Feb. 17 and are valid through April 17. After that, people across the country can purchase the plates as collector items.
The only bummer is that the plates are only good for 60 days. But then hey, they’re raising money for the libraries and they way they are selling, nobody seems to mind that they expire. I wish we could do something like that for California….anything to raise a little money for this state. Like I said, I wouldn’t mind President Obama riding my ass….Wha’at! Did I just say that? I guess I couldn’t help going there.
President Obama and Mrs. O: If you are reading this (Oh, how I wish!), please know that I have the utmost respect for the both of you and I am only having a little fun at your expense. I hope that I have not offended either of you. :)

Hi Debby: I’m sorry that you couldn’t get in and leave a comment when you tried to. If I’m understanding you correctly, your comment yesterday posted on Saturday’s article was in regards to yesterday’s article ‘Ban The Brazilian?’, yes? If so, I think you are right on, and I should’ve made that clear. I did NOT think that it did not go through because it was a women’s rights issue. In fact I wasn’t sure if it had even occured to some that it was a women’s rights issue. To me it was blatant, which is why I pushed the point, while most articles that I read were focusing on the riskiness of the procedure. And yes, I agree with you also, that it probably wasn’t overturned because of the financial losses that would occur had it been overturned. Thank you for clarifying.
Out the door….
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle
