President-elect Barack Obama now has his own energy drink, in France.

The high-energy drink is part of a fundraiser for an educational charity based in one of Paris' troubled suburbs. Only 100 cans of "Obama Soda" have been made and will be auctioned off. The creator of the drink says he's been handing them out to teens close to where he works, hoping that Obama's success will serve as an inspiration to them.

Yes, its great for a few hours then leads to a big crash. It tastes better than Hillaryaid with less punch....

Notice that this drink is being auctioned off!!! And in Paris! Does it even have Obama's endorsement... probably! And it probably contains some kind of mind altering drug so that people will believe the crap he's dishing out!

I guess Obama kool-aid would've been just too on-the-nose.

The flavor should be SOUR GRAPE.
