New Beanie Babies dolls named after Obama's daughters, Sasha and Malia

The Ty Inc., maker of 'Beanie Babies' dolls have released their two new creations and are hoping that their new dolls named after Obama's daughters will be another sure hit among young girls of all colors all around the globe. They are naming the two dolls, Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia. The 12-inch plush dolls are part of the company's “TyGirlz Collection,” introduced in 2007. The Sasha doll has pigtails and wears a white and pink dress with hearts. The Malia doll has a side ponytail and a long-sleeve shirt with capri pants. The dolls have "real doll hair" and the suggested retail price is $9.99 which will be introduced in early January. A limited supply has been shipped to retailers, so place your orders now!

Update: Michelle Obama is not happy with this idea and said that using her daughters to sell dolls is inappropriate.
