Throughout this recession Obama was busy creating jobs — website storefronts, mall shops and street vendors eagerly peddled Obama memorabilia allowing the general public to actually touch the 'birth of hope' and capture his moment in history. Alas, this once seemingly recession-proof industry is now struggling to survive.
The Washington Post reports, “Sales peaked at the height of Obamamania, between the election and the inauguration.”
“In Union Station, the souvenir shop once dubbed the Obama Store because of its mostly Obama-related selection has closed. [...] That moment in history is gone," said Molly Andolina, a professor of political science at DePaul University in the president's adopted home town of Chicago. Molly is lying. 'Hope' can still be had for just 5 easy payments of $30:
"Now you can celebrate his historical story with this President Barack Obama commemorative baby doll, exclusively from The Ashton-Drake Galleries.

Strong demand is expected. Order now!"

Only if a citizen wants to exercise his right to free speech.
There’s a string in the back.
it only says two things though....
“Bush’s fault”
and
“That’s racist”
A breakfast place I go to in Beverly MA, owned by a conservative, has Obama and George W Bush dolls behind the counter. The Obama doll has his back to us, while the Bush doll is looking left toward a third “doll”—a “Hillary
Clinton nutcracker” :)
“Bush’s fault”
and
“That’s racist”
And the Deluxe Model says both of those phrases along with
"Let me be clear"
and
"The time for talk is over."
Given how bad BHO has been for business across this country, I would say there’s some sort of cosmic justice at work in seeing the same disease spread to businesses that sought to commercialize his fraudulent message of Hope and Change.
