PRESIDENTIAL BEANIE BABIES

SASHA AND MALIA OBAMA HAVE THEIR OWN BEANIE BABIES:

It's undeniable that SASHA and MALIA OBAMA are cute kids. But do you know what's even cuter? Sasha and Malia Obama Beanie Babies.

Earlier this month, toymaker Ty Inc. unveiled two new additions to their "Ty Girlz Collection" of dolls . . . "Sweet Sasha" and "Marvelous Malia". But get this . . . the company is denying the dolls, who look African-American, were modeled after the Obama girls, and the only reason the names Sasha and Malia were chosen is because they're, "beautiful names".

According to a company spokeswoman, "There's nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls. It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not." (Google News)

So let me get this straight. Ty Inc. came out with two new African-American dolls with the exact same names as Obama's daughters just days before Obama took office . . . but the events are unrelated. What an UNBELIEVABLE coincidence!!!
