State unveils Barack Obama license plates



February 13, 2009

BY SUN-TIMES STAFF

Can't get enough of Barack Obama? How about an Obama license plate?

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White today unveiled an "Illinois Salutes Barack Obama" temporary license plate, which can be used for 60 days beginning Tuesday.

Proceeds from the Barack Obama license plate will benefit Illinois libraries.




The plates feature a smiling President Obama, seemingly gazing towards your temporary numbers. A waving American flag fills the background.

The plates are only good through April 17. They cost $50 -- with proceeds benefiting Illinois libraries.

The temporary "special event" plates are available at www.ila.org/obama.

They are also being sold at the Chicago Auto Show at McCormick Place.

1. Those are cool, but why do they only last until April?
I think more people would buy them if they could use them permanently.

2. That's my question - why only two months? Make 'em permanent
Nice plate.

3. Ha, imagine what you could get for them on eBay
Obviously, you'd keep your existing plate to put back on your car after the time limit was up, then the plate would belong to you.
