Much is being made about the Barack Obama merchandise on sale at the NBC Experience store in Manhattan and on the store's Web site. So we decided to head up to 30 Rock to see what the fuss was all about.
First the backstory.
Last week, Joe Luppino-Esposito, a blogger who calls himself 'Newark Young Conservative Examiner' wrote about how the retail store at NBC's Rockefeller Center headquarters has been selling the merchandise.
Earlier this week, Maxim Lott of FoxNews.com started asking around about the ethics of a company that owns a national news network and cable news channel selling merchandise featuring the president.

What action? Bows to the East 5 times a day!
Ha! where’s the Saudi King figure?
Which action figure? The one with him bowing to the Saudi King, or the one with his head up his Obama?
and it throws like a girl.
GOT to have one of those to bow to, don’t cha’ know?
Comes with Mom Apple Bottom jeans
I saw the Oval Office starter set. Obamy in a white shirt, rolled up sleeves, no tie, no shoes. Founding Fathers Desk to put feet on was extra.
BTW, has anyone seen the obama toilet bowl brush for sale anywhere?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Isn’t that the one that doubles as a toothbrush?
I hear it will be standard hospital issue under ObamaCare.
I’m going to make a KILLING on miniature “mom pants” for Barry’s action figure. It will also come with a “throws like a girl grip”. Not to be outdone by Barbie and her sports car, the Barry doll will have his own 1999-vintage limo complete with a backseat “companion”, and replica of a packet of “snow”.
Does it have the Kung Fu grip?
The Obama action set I recently purchased has Obama and Larry Sinclair in the back seat of a limo. Larry is sitting on the seat and Barack, well we know how he got those ears.
and don’t forget, his BFL can be John(My little pony) Edwards
“Birth certificate not included.”
Are they selling a corresponding Larry Sinclair action figure?
My favorite! I almost cry laughing when these commercials come on!
the all talk, no action figure.
