They also sell lime flavored beer. Won’t get anywhere near THAT either. Everywhere you go you see special Obama magazines for sale, or Obama t-shirts. I think when Kennedy was elected, Catholics all around the country scooped up Kennedy memorabilia. I, as a consumer, get to make the final decision about buying this stuff, so I won’t get too worked up about it.
its a fortune 500 - huge Northeast chain - based in Rochester NY
The Stop & Shop supermarket chain in New England is selling Obama books, magazines, and calendars. I don’t see them flying off the shelves, at least in whiter-than-rice New Hampshire!
I’ve seen Obama tote bags for sale...God bless capitalism.
Western New York - It’s a very nice chain. I haven’t noticed the posters and I was just there this evening. I’ll be looking next time I go.
Redistribution of wealth, one dollar at a time. As for me, I’ll pass on these wonderful products.
I agree... heck, after 9/11 you could find all kinds of posters with American flags and NYC skylines and firefighters and such with Bible verses printed all over them. It’s all capitalism, and attempting to make an extra buck off the election. Especially if you consider that these are probably primarily marketed to the college kids that voted for them - I noticed that one was designed in such a way that it would look ‘cool’ on a dorm room wall as opposed to like a ‘lame’ inspirational poster.
