A sure-fire way to get increased sales is for someone to try to ban the product.

On Tuesday, the UT bookstore pulled mints poking fun at President Barack Obama off shelves after state Rep. Joe Armstrong, D-Knoxville, told the director he was offended by the message on the candies.

Wonder if he is offended by the mint tin made in his honor?

Unemployed Philosophers Guild is a typically left-leaning company, said Stern, but decided to manufacture the "Disappointmints" to cater to liberals who were frustrated with the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts. In the past, it has mostly made tins mocking former President George W. Bush, entitled "National Embarrassmints" and "Impeachmints."

Finally Obama’s policies result in some increased revenue for a business.

Perhaps if such businesses were scaled up to include all sorts of branded anti-Obama products, ranging from clothing to cars, we might see a noticeable pickup in GDP, at least through the fall of 2012.

I guess this was just fine

But this was horribly offensive

Who needs a gallup poll to find Obama’s ratings. The people are voting with mint purchases.
