First there was his own presidential seal, now the democrats are producing coins to commemorate his winning. Getting a little ahead of themselves aren't they?

At least they are outsourcing them so they don't have to use American labor.

The link didn't work for me, but I backed it up to the Birmingham Post and searched and found the same article.


Didn't you read the article you linked to?


The British company designed and manufactured the coins, then sold them to the Democratic party, they did not mint the coins at the request or on instruction or on order from the Democratic party.

Yes, the company came up with the idea. However, "When they got in touch with the Democrats the party jumped at the chance." They are presenting them to members of congress and the senate in a couple of weeks. Seems a bit arrogant to me.

See if this link works any better. http://www.birminghampost.net/birmingham-business/birmingham-business-news/business-entrepreneurship/2008/09/16/birmingham-firm-strikes-barack-obama-presidential-coin-65233-21832869/

If he didn't ask for them what is your point? He didn't out source anything if he didn't ask for them now did he??

Um - this should probably have gone in the personal discussion section as it has NOTHING to do with the issues. The name of this folder is "Discussing the Issues" FYI.

the poster never said 'he' did anything .... the poster's comments were about the party.
