Forget Polls, Here’s Tangible Proof the Obama Honeymoon is Over
One sign that Washington, D.C., had been home to Obama Mania was the number of independent retailers selling all sorts of Obama merchandise.Every street corner, it seemed, had Obama wares (or Obama wear) for sale.

T-shirts depicting our president as a dunking Michael Jordan, a victorious Muhammad Ali, or saber-baring Luke Skywalker (yes, these shirts all existed) are nowhere to be found.
This time last year, the Obama Store was teeming with customers.

Now, the Obama Store is boarded up.
