Now that the American people aren’t buying President Obama’s line of crap anymore, they’re not buying the line of crap with his picture on it anymore, either.
U.S. News reports the over-stocked details:
One sign that Washington, D.C., had been home to Obama Mania was the number of independent retailers selling all sorts of Obama merchandise. Every street corner, it seemed, had Obama wares (or Obama wear) for sale. Now, however, most of the winter caps for sale are not emblazoned with the Obama logo. T-shirts depicting our president as a dunking Michael Jordan, a victorious Muhammad Ali, or saber-baring Luke Skywalker (yes, these shirts all existed) are nowhere to be found. This time last year, the Obama Store was teeming with customers. Ideally situated in the basement of Washington’s Union Station, the store was filled with consumers eager to buy anything with Obama’s likeness while others took pictures of the life-size cut-outs of the president and first lady. Now, the Obama Store is boarded up. How quickly things change in a year.
The Obama Store was capitalism at its most brilliant rawness; find a market and exploit it quickly. The store made possible one-stop shopping for all of your tacky Obama merchandise needs. T-shirts! Hats! Calendars! Hand-warmers! Keychains! It was like something out of Spaceballs (“Obama: The Flame Thrower! The kids love this one.”). The store carried every imaginable product with the words “Obama” and “Commemorative,” except, notably, the Obama Chia Pet.
Just a wild, unsubstantiated guess, but we bet the Chia Pet Obama may be the only Obama product that’s still selling.
C’mon, man, it’s a clay head that looks like Obama and it grows a green afro. Who wouldn’t want one of those?

The basis of our goverment is the opinion of the people.. Thomas Jefferson. Then there's what we have now, which is, when I want your opinion, I'll give it to you.
LOL! It's about time.
The reason that garbage isn't selling is that most who supported barry don't have jobs and can't afford it. lets face it, it is pretty tough to buy some barry jumps with food stamps!
I personally have him on a dart board-but that is home made! Oh yeah, I also have a great t-shirt that has his smeared joker face that says "why so socialist?" Only those of us with jobs, can really afford to make expenditures right now that are not necessary. So, this comes as no big surprise-not to mention that the guy isn't attractive, so why have his face on something that you put on your body?
This crap is going to be very collectable in about 3 years once its determined that he was the worst president in recent memory. Im not going to start a collection, but maybe a few super tacky items would help memorialize this man caused disaster.
