No surprise: Disappoint-mints strike liberals as bad taste
Democratic Tennessee legislator gets them removed from university bookstore's shelves
John Kass

Corrections and clarifications: In a Page 2 column on Wednesday, John Kass incorrectly asserted that by raising the federal debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion, President Barack Obama had grabbed "reality by the hair" and kicked it repeatedly "in the behind." But Thursday's stock-market plunge of more than 500 points proves that reality remains immune to the president's charms. The Tribune regrets the error.
So what do you give a beleaguered president who just ate a mess of birthday barbecue with his friends from Chicago?
Disappoint-mints.
Yes, Disappoint-mints, the breath mints with President Barack Obama's likeness on the cover.
After you chow down on some baby backs and corn and birthday burgers while roughly 9 percent of the nation is out of work and thinking about dog food recipes, there's only thing that'll freshen your barbecue breath.
Mints in a box with Obama's face and the slogan:
"This is Change? Disappoint-mints."
With the economy tanking and overwhelmingly high unemployment rates, and the nation's supply of Hopium running dangerously low, who wouldn't want something sweet and tasty?
Like a Disappoint-mint.
