AMPA - Some local Walgreen's stores are pulling a supposed likeness of President Barack Obama off their shelves. The 'Chia Obama' will no longer be sold there.

The manchild, anyone who associates with or supports him has Zero sense of humor.

Can I still get a Chia Biden?

My boxer left a huge “likeness of President Barack Obama” out in the grass by my flagpole this morning.

The next question... is Walgreen’s pulling the item from their Website shopping cart?? I might get a little upset if they did a Chia Reagan, but just about any other GOP Pres would be a HOOT!!!

LIberals have no sense of humor.

It's still up on Walgreens' website, though listed as outta stock...

Sorry, for some reason, it never seems to grow.

I'd like to buy up the Obama Chia stock and use them in a charity skeet shoot for the unborn or wounded warriors or just anything O hates.

You can buy 0bama commorative plates at Walgreens - I may get some when I run out of skeets.

It is not an anatomically-correct Chia Obama: they got the ears wrong. Walgrens pulled them all because they were afraid they’d have excessive returns for faulty merchandise.

“Can I still get a Chia Biden?”

You mean the one where you have to drill your own holes?

[envisio]

Yep, anything ridiculing W would have stayed.

We have a WalGreens here in my business park. When you walk in the first thing you see is a giant display right in the middle of the isle.... Obama Commemorative Plates.

Several customers and employees heard the exaggerated “UHG, OH FOR CRIPE SAKE” that I let out as I rolled my eyes and turned and walked back out.

[PetroniusMaximus]

“Can you grow one? YES YOU CAN.”

**Obama Chia stock and use them in a charity skeet shoot**

Or a good Sledgehammer and play “WHACK-A-CHIA”!!??

Can I still get a Chia Biden?

That's the one you have to transplant, though.

[Popman]

I want one!!!

[lovesdogs]

I want one too. I was going to let my dogs “water” it for me. Dang, every day would have started out with a smile as my two boys handled that chore.

I heard about this yesterday. I listen to Rush! online on WFLA in Tampa.

After Rush! some guy named Schmidt has a local show an he covered it.

He sent his listeners to the various Walgreens stores to see if they could buy one. Most of the stores had them, but when scanned at the check-out it said “do not sell”.

One guy found a manager at a store that sold him one anyway, even though it scanned as do not sell.

I guess someone complained that they were raciest because they grow a green Afro...lol.

Don't all the chi-as do that?

Because of the “historic” nature of his excellency, the Federal Reserve is breaking with tradition and starting to print currency with Obama’s image on it. Because of the historic nature of the spending by the Obama administration, the new $20,000.00 bills debuts next spring. Initial plans are to introduce the new notes at retail establishments. Retailers are rushing to expand the floor space devoted to toilet paper in anticipation of demand. /s

Can I still get a Chia Biden?

Yes you can. It comes with the normal number of seeds/plugs. One must also purchase the replacement seeds/plugs kits, which are very expensive and one must replace the seeds/plugs every month or so.

[Lonely Bull]

The 'Chia Obama' will no longer be sold there.

For the first time in my life, I am proud to be an American.
