The company that brought the world Beanie Babies is now selling dolls named Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia, but a spokeswoman insists that the dolls have nothing to do with President Obama's young daughters.
(Pooch Dog just dropped a little pee out his ^&&!!~$ he was laughing so hard!) Although it would be a stretch to say the 12-inch-tall dolls bear a resemblance to the first family's Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, they appear to be the only African-American dolls in the 30-doll Ty Girlz collection.
There has been no public objection -- or comment of any kind -- from the White House about Ty Inc.'s use of the Obama daughters' names.

I read somewhere else that Michelle Obama felt the dolls were inappropriate.
