Illinois unveils temporary Obama licence plates

Illinois' secretary of state Jesse White, who became a minor national celebrity when he refused to certify Rod Blagojevich's choice of Roland Burris for the US Senate, is back in the news today. His office authorized a temporary licence plate design, good for 60 days, with the image of a smiling Barack Obama.

Look for White to declare Obama the patron saint of Illinois shortly

The plates are $50, proceeds from the Obama-idolatry go to Illinois libraries.
