The Obama store in Union Station is now closed and sales of Obamamania merchandise is way off. If President Obama's approval numbers keep declining, vendors won't be able to give that garbage away.
The Washington Post reported:
Souvenir vendors in Washington say once-thriving sales of the garish merchandise fawning over the president are nowhere near what they were. Sales peaked at the height of Obamamania, between the election and the inauguration, but vendors said that Obama paraphernalia still moved from their shelves through much of 2009...
In Union Station, the souvenir shop once dubbed the Obama Store because of its mostly Obama-related selection (save for the Michael Jackson memorabilia of the same vein that popped up after his death) has closed.
On the other hand, sales of 'Miss Me Yet?' Bush T-Shirts are becoming very popular.
