I won't be ordering a 'Chia Obama,' but there isn't any reason not to sell it in Walgreen's stores. Chia needs to add a 'Chia Bush' and a 'Chia Clinton.' They could call it the Presidential collection. You can buy your own 'Chia Obama' here.
'Chia Obama' booted from local stores
TAMPA - 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.
Walgreen's spokesman Michael Polzin explained to FOX 13 that local store managers have the ability to purchase and market products -- like the Chia Obama -- on their own.
But now, the corporate office has asked stores to pull the product from their stores because, he said, it is not appropriate for the company's corporate image.(excerpt) read more at myfoxtampabay.com

Good catch here
I was making fun of this at my weekend stop at the local Buffalo Grove IL Walgreens as the store manager who I know well voted for Obama, so every time I come in I greet him with "Morning Ted, how's that Obama thing going?"
And he was rolling this morning when I started hassling him about those things and he embarrassingly told me they were pulled....
