Morning Joe'bama

In Hawaii, an entrepreneur has come up with a way to toast the new President by waking up and smelling the coffee. Kona Joe, the coffee-selling alter ego of Dr. Joseph Alban, has created the Barack O'Blend — a mix of Hawaiian, Indonesian and Kenyan coffee beans — "in honor of our Native Born Son," and encourages buyers to "sip the story of our 44th president." The label proclaims that there's "No French roast here — this coffee, is proudly labeled 'American roast'." The coffee made its debut — just like President Obama himself — on Jan. 20.
