I’m not sure if this mask was made by an Obama supporter or opponent (the Etsy site of the creator is suspiciously unopinionated), but it could be the basis of some humorous statements about political nightmares, given recent government-level developments in both Republican and Democratic camps…

What’s your hypothesis on what our economic curve will look like within the next two years? Will it be U-shaped, V-shaped, or the mountain trail? This custom t-shirt seems to be stating that we’ll be following the shape of a lightening bolt, with not much hope for a recovery anytime soon. Obama has of course already [...]

At Union Station in California, everything from Obama promotional t-shirts to Obama imprinted candy were part of consumers’ spending sprees.

Of all the promotional products out there made to capitalize off of Obama’s presidency, this is one of the more ridiculous. Promotional wine?! Really? Not even a custom wine set– just the wine? I bet the markup is ridiculous. And as this website noted, how long could it have possibly aged?

We saw a lot of Obama schwag during his campaign, but this must be the strangest obama promo ever. I’ve seen plant & gardening promos work for tons of businesses, not sure how I would feel about having an Obama head on my office desk or in my home though.

Well they now have Customized Obama Champion Slip On sneakers for women, but I don’t think that it is safe to say that we have seen it all.  Obama has barely been President for a month and look at all the great political schwag people have been coming up with.  Nonetheless the shoe is a [...]
