Is there any cool, not tacky, memento of the Inauguration that you can buy online?

[CTyankee]

I don't want junk but something discreet and well done might be nice. I could give it to my grandkids...

1. How 'bout this?

:silly: It's my Obama memento. Tacky is a matter of opinion. ;)

[CTyankee]

2. It's kind of cute but my grandkids are too old for it.

Oh, now I see that it's not suitable for children. WEll okay then...

[babylonsister]

3. I venture to say I'm older than your grandkids...

:rofl:

4. Does it pop up or is it just for looking at? n/t

[babylonsister]

8. It pops up; it's Barack-In-The-Box, to the tune of

'Hail To The Chief'. :D

10. Oh, that's cute. Where did you get it?

May I ask how much it cost?

5. I have a couple...

I've got a couple of the CHANGE signs from the convention framed in my studio. Very cool. My boss brought them back from Denver, but I bet you could find some on eBay.

15. I Have Change Signs From Going To Rallies & Am Told My Yard Signs

are worth $18 a piece right now! I also have special T-shirts, buttons and bumper stickers. Also bought the coins they are advertising. Anything Obama is an investment even IF you're a Repuke! No, I'm not a Repuke, but AM giving my Repuke sister a set of coins and telling her to keep them to cash in later!!!

She's going to hate me!

17. I have another cool sign I never saw at any of the rallies...

Also came from the convention...says STRONG AMERICA, in that infamous Obama type on blue.

The other really sweet one is the official convention poster. It's really a very nice work of art, a multi-colored wood-cut looking illustration of Denver with the Rockies in the background.

18. Lucky You... Very Nice! I Went Out & Bought Every Magazine & Paper

I could find right after the election. Have some really special issues that were printed! My kids will inherit a nice collection of history from me. I have bumper stickers & buttons from way back... some from my mother-in-law that are pretty old. She also kept a lot of stuff from WWII & magazines when Kennedy was shot and other huge historical events.

However, THIS election is one I feel is ESPECIALLY good for anyone's collection! Wish I had some things from the convention though.

7. This was my Christmas present to myself, a numbered signed framed print of:

Sorry, don't know how to make this smaller

9. Contact your congresscritter...?

You can order flags that they fly over the Capitol from your congressperson...

I contacted my rep and am trying to get at least one flag that has flown over the capitol on jan. 20, inauguration day..

I made my request over four weeks ago, and have yet to hear from my rep.. so I'm gonna assume that she has already made plans for any flags that fly that day.... (I'm sure she has many friends, family and big donors who would appreciate such a gift)

In any respect, after jan. 20, I intend to order flags for each one of my kids (4). It would be cool for them to own a flag that has flown over the capitol when obama is president...

just my opinion... good luck to you whatever you do...

:hi:

12. Aww, what a great thing to do for your kids...n/t

16. A Good Idea, But I Bet MY Congressman Won't Give Me The Time Of Day!!!

Vern Buchanan, District 13, former Cruella Harris' seat. The county that LOST 18,500 votes when Buchanan ran against Jennings in 2006!

He such an ASS!
