Obama Can’t Even Create or Save an OBAMA STORE

That’s right; Obama can’t even “create or save” the creepy shrine-like store specializing in merchandise with his likeness. It’s a sure sign that the honeymoon is totally over when even the sheep-like and the “hipsters” (redundant?) are far too ashamed to continue wearing Obama head t-shirts — although, I thought they always should have been embarrassed by that. And by being hipsters.
I really don’t have much to say about this, except for:
BWAA HAA HAA HAAA!!
Weasel Zippers: Obama Store in Washington’s Union Station Closes
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.
Let me be clear, make no mistake:
BWAA HAA HAA HAA!

Thank you Lori Zigi, that means I get to sing my Obama swan song, again. Okay, all you newbies — sing along with me
Where have all the stickers gone — Long time passing
Where have all the stickers — long time ago
Where have all the stickers gone
Gone from Volvos everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn
When will they eh-e-ver learn
You have something to add Nelson?

Their last T-shirt sale should fittingly be for the one that’s getting planted six feet under.

Perhaps they could liquidate their assets to local mortuaries who would be able to cremate them.

I worked on the renovation of this place back in the 80’s. I saw rats.. BIG RATS in the basement here, but now I see they opened their own store. Interesting.

They actually have men’s briefs with obowma’s mug printed on them.
No wonder they went out of business.
I ask you, who the hell would buy pre-soiled underwear?

@ Chris- President Oskidmark!
I think even the Pet Rock fad outlasted Obama, not to mention the Cabbage Patch doll, the Hula Hoop and Rubik’s Cube.

In the 80s one of the most popular TV shows was “Real People.” Nobody remembers it.
“Dancing with the stars?” Forget it. Back in my day it was “Circus with the Stars.” Nobody remembers it.
Mood Ring? Pet Rock?
Obama is a fad. It won’t be long before those stupid HOPE T-shirts are used to scrub the ick off the bathroom floor.

Okay. I just saw the cardboard stand-up of Michelle. And they wonder why business is bad? They put that hideous thing in the entryway. It would be like McDonalds having a poster in the doorway of a guy vomiting.
A cardboard cut-out of Michelle. Sweet fancy Moses.

Lennie, in answer to your question I saw an Obama sticker on a car bumper this morning. But when i went for my cell to take a picture, the car alerted and disappeared into the bush.
My wife thinks I just imagined it. But I’m telling you — I saw one!!!!

I saw some fool with an obama bumper sticker on his prius today. In typical fashion, doing 52 in a 65 and wouldn’t get the hell out of the way.
THey drive like they think.
