I know how Obama will pay for the bailout

OK seriously...
Getting an email from a candidate soliciting campaign contributions is one thing, but getting an email from your president-elect trying to hock beanies is just profiteering. Tacky anyone?
Wearing clothing to support a candidate has some merit. You're helping them to raise awareness and get votes. But wearing the name (or personal logo) of an elected public official is just weird and kind of obsessive. I mean, you won already man. Move on!

PS. Just because I voted for Obama, and do believe he's the right guy for the job, doesn't mean he get's a blank-check to do whatever he wants. I'll call "Shenanigans" on him too. I am holding Obama to the same standards that I hold all of our public officials (the same ones Bush failed to live up to - incurring my sharp disapproval).
