Obama's Mug on D.C. Subway Cards for Inauguration

Well this can go a few ways. It kind of scares me too. If it is for only one day then it might not be so bad, but if it stays up for awhile there is a few things that can happen. One of the more obvious ones is that people graffiti the sign and put racial slurs all over the sign. But in a more conspiracy theorist view, which I actually thought of which is weird was that all the past dictators of the world had their photo plastered all over the place. Could this be the beginning of that?

The subway system in Washington, D.C., is making fare cards featuring President-elect Barack Obama's image to commemorate his inauguration as the 44th president.

SmarTrip cards with Obama's smiling face will be available in January, Metro spokesman Stephen Taubenkibel told DCist. Regular fare cards marking the Jan. 20 inauguration will be available in late December.

Images of the Obama card were shown at a recent Metro Board of Directors meeting.
