Following the election, Obama schwag was everywhere and seemed to be overtaking merchandise stores in city corners and train stations. At Union Station in California, everything from Obama promotional t-shirts to Obama imprinted candy were part of consumers’ spending sprees. In the picture above we can see Obama hot sauce which was sold at Political Americana’s inaugural store near the White House. Not everything was sold for cheap prices either. The New York Times was selling photographs of Obama from prices in the range of $200 to over $1,000!
