Obama store closes - honeymoon is over

An article at the link below says:

Forget polls, here’s tangible proof the Obama honeymoon is over!

Along with most sidewalk vender’s hawking Obama memorabilia, the Obama store in Washington’s Union Station is now boarded up.

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.

The store was ideally situated to make big profits. Not only was it in the District of Columbia, where Obama won 93 percent of the vote, but Union Station is swarmed by the most wallet-opening demographic of them all—tourists!

All polls show that support from Obama loyalists is receding.

However, as the report points out, polls pale in comparison to real anecdotal evidence.

Last week, Amber Lee Ettinger, better known as “Obama Girl,” announced that she has fallen out of love with the president—leading to the question: If Obama has lost Obama Girl, has he lost America?

Even the Pepsi campaign that borrowed heavily from Obama, including mimicking the Obama logo on Pepsi products (pictured) has fizzled.

Maybe Obama should have given some stimulus money to the store in Union Station that stopped making a profit selling Obama goods.
