Toast of Obama on eBay

2008_11_13_obamatoast.jpgWhile many in the country celebrated Barack Obama's election, some haven't been so happy. We talked earlier about Obama overload and many who voted against Obama continue to bemoan the fact that the media has crowned him some sort of new Messiah. This...will do nothing to quell their complaints. A piece of toast baring a likeness of Obama has found its way to eBay. The toast, located in New Jersey, is currently at $205.00. Says the toast-owner, "Barack Obama has miraculously appeared on a piece of toast I was preparing for breakfast. This is a one-of-a-kind item to celebrate his win as US President. The item is one piece of Wonder Bread that has been toasted. Nothing has been added to the bread - no butter or oils." But what about a sprinkling of "Change Cinnamon?"
