Barack-in-the-box shelved: Frenzy fades

Good old capitalism alive and well, living in the hate of the ridiculous Republicans and their twin sister, Libertarian. Now, we can watch them, as they so eloquently phrased it, concerning our dysfunctional healthcare system: Let's go cull the American electorate. Let us continue to allow the Healthcare Corps to deny medical care to the sick, the aged, the underprivileged, the underinsured and the working classes of America.
We will be able to witness this obstructionism, this fratricide, this callousness as our Senate deliberates over the Baucus Health Insurer's Bill. There is something in there for every Insurance Corp, except for the American public. Put the public option back in the Baucus bill, where it deserves to be, if it is coming out of a Democratic Senate !! Be bold, act bold and enact bold legislature. America needs bold leadership, at every level of our Government, since in the past 8 years, that bold leadership was hiding from our nation, too busy filling its own pockets with our tax dollars.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Well what the hell did you expect from a phony, empty suited, pretentious, big green eared "rock star" politician that was completely made up by the media, never vetted, nor analized by yes, by the MSM Media! You know what you get? You get NOTHING!

Now all the useful idiots that voted for him are stuck with... you guessed it, literally, "A jack in the box".

When you have a president that was elected based upon a personality and no substance, the kool-aid starts to fade and people see what it was they voted for. The country is not happy.

Who would want any of this Obozo junk anyway??

They only item that seems appropriate would be Obama garbage cans since that is where most of his policies belong.

Wait, so you're saying that an inauguration based toy from January isn't selling as well now in October, and that's supposed to suggest something meaningful?

Also, um... $29.95?

Are you kidding me? I can't imagine buying any of that junk, unless it was a gag gift.

Time the Frenzy stops fading- America is fed up of of Obamacare and all of the lies coming out of the White House, plus Obama trying to be a Messiah to the world .

Looks like the rock star status that he once enjoyed was not enough to convince people that he would know how to lead.

Paint Joker faces on them all, and they'll sell like hotcakes.

This is a silly article. How many Obama t-shirts does one person need. They don't wear out that quickly that they need to be replaced every 3 months. Couldn't you find something more meaningful to write about?

I find it quite funny how Obama has "stuff" being sold everywhere, ads on TV with him in them touting financial independence while He and Michelle pop up everywhere and the 'fringe media-NBC, CBS, CNN ABC, NYT et al" love it. Had this been George Bush they would have crucified him. Of course George Bush is not a phony who needs public adulation to sustain his worth George Bush is a confident, secure man with a wonderful wife to support him.WE elected an incompetent-how did that Olympics work out Barak?

Paint a Joker face on the puppet and they'll sell better - especially for Halloween.

Here's why t-shirts salws are down. Obama.......The constant lying. The staggering arrogance. The dangerous narcissism. The astounding incompetence. The Obama Buffoon wants to put as much of the private economy under government control as possible to create his nanny state utopia where he is the boy king. Let's continue to stand strong against Obama in every way and get Congress out of the hands of the insane Pelosi and Reid in 2010. Obama is a smug, smirking con man. Nothing more.

Am I actually reading this, or is it a bad dream?

Yes, the president is a failure because TOYS WITH HIS LIKENESS ARE NOT SELLING!!
IMPEACHMENT!!

Have you lost your minds SWAMP?? Finally some TRUTH in a newspaper article regarding Obama! What gives? The media is supposed to cover up any and all things that glorify Obama. I was just telling my husband last night how there IS NO media anymore. They've been bought out most likely by the Illuminati (the richest elite) and replaced by their "own kind" to conceal and paint their own picture they want us Americans to see and hear.
Well, it isn't working because FOX, Limbaugh, Hannity & Beck report what the real truth is. It's the really stupid, ignorant and "stuck in their old political rut" people that refuse to turn the channels on their TV's/radios from CNN, NBC, etc. to find out what's really going on with Obama. Yes, the truth is being revealed by Obama himself. People are seeing what a bumbling idiot he is without his teleprompter, seeing him for the evil intentions he has for our aging population, seeing how just down right UN-AMERICAN he is by insulting America in front of the world stage, saying America is selfish and greedy.
He, Pelosi and Reed shun our soldiers and call us true blue Americans "terrorists" or "racists" if we don't agree with Obama's directions he wants to take this country. Well, wake up and smell the real refreshing coffee...THANK YOU SWAMP! For simply writing an article of TRUTH regarding how vast numbers of people are opening their eyes and seeing this horrifying man they put into office. You dished it out Liberals, now eat
it and choke on Obama as he makes me want to wretch!

How about this? It's the economy stupid! If you're cutting back on non-essential spending, why would you spend on non-essential Obama paraphernalia? I support Obama and have no intention of buying anything with his likeness on it.

The thing you have to rememebr about the Obamas, is that it is all about them.

Don Fitzgerald, you'd do very well in Russia. Why don't you take a nice one way trip there so that you can enjoy a non-capitalistic country being all of one kind like a little puppet on a string...do the dance, Don, shake it!! 2010 can't roll around quick enough for the America people. We're fed up with the likes of you who HATE America!

I hear Senator McCain wants to ditch another plane with " Quitter " Palin riding shotgun !! He wants to re-write history, so people will forget that he got bush-whacked by President Obama and Vice-President Biden. What a shame, Senator McCain has been at the public trough all of his life and he still is a dismal failure, like his mentor, Phil " The Whiner " Gramm. I sincerely hope the Republican-Libertarians are able to find something that looks like leaders. At the moment, all they have are circus acts, from the freak show, at that !! Get thee behind me, Getrich, Gramm, Vitter, Ensign, Delay, Craig and, of course, last and least, Bush&Cheney. Let's send that crew to Afghanistan, they will have that mess cleaned up, in no time. Right??
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Wow moliner, you got right to it! Being from IL. I was well aware of Obama with his hollow rhetoric and non-substance career, hyped by a biased liberal media and press. Funny thing happening now...they can no longer conceal reality as the folks are actually witnessing this charade. Given, they still promote his disingenuous rhetoric and the lame policies, but the tide is turning. Let us pray the damage done to our great country is not irreversible before we stop this disaster. Still can't get over a night out, on the town for a photo op, when he new 8 of our soldiers were killed in an area badly in need of more troops to protect each other. Well, guess we should expect no less from guy, who only history is one that is derisive of America.

Soldiers are being killed in Afghanistan and obama takes his wife out for a date.

Well, I see that "Don Fitzgerald" infests this berg with his nonsensical pap too...'

Hey, Donnie, hasn't your mommy told you yet that the words "Democratic majority" mean that the Democrats, IF THEY WERE WILLING, could pass whatever "health care bill" they wanted, without a single vote from any of the "obstructionist" Republicans?

And as for "cull"[ing] the American electorate, wouldn't the "advisory panels" that obummer wants for the elderly do a rather effective job of that - getting rid of those mean old conservatives will ensure that the illegal ali- "immigrants" that we're depending on to become Democrat voters will be able to access a wider range of services - and since they're generally younger and less educated, it'll be a "two-fer": less conservative resistance and more ill-informed agreement with our whack-job ideas all in one fell swoop! What could be better than that?!

Now all the useful idiots that voted for him are stuck with... you guessed it, literally, "A jack in the box".

I believe you don't know "jack".

One door closes, another opens. As the effects of the Kool-Aid start to wear off, there are plenty of not-so-complimentary merchandising opportunities opening up for The One. For example, check out the Obama Joker masks at http://www.acornsouvenirs.com and the anti-socialism extravaganza at http://www.socialismisnojoke.com.

How many Obama hating insensitve racist Republicans will dress up as Obama in black face this Halloween?? Sounds like a significant number have been talking about it, otherwise the RNC would not have sent out member e-mails urging their cult members to refrain from painting their faces in black face or hanging or burning Obama effigies in their lawn which would cause distractions from the RNC message of "Make Obama Fail" and "Lets not do anything to allow people w/ pre-existing conditions get health insurance" or "bring your weapons to Town Halls"

Uh. Perhaps those people who wanted Obama stuff have already purchased it? Not that it matters anyway. Always hilarious to see the fringe right grab a hold of anything to try to stay afloat.

There goes DonF again - Man his comments are getting old - what a sour sad person. He is entitled to his views, but why are they always so negative.

The drop in sales is the result of people already having Obama gear, not a reflection of his approval ratings. People aren't going to buy a second Obama T-shirt or hat if they already have one. That's common sense.

Yes, his approval has dropped since inauguration, and no, he doesn't have astronomically high ratings anymore. But to claim that those approval declines are responsible for sales declines is pretty shoddy reporting.

People generally don't buy what they've already got. That's the story here. Exciting, huh?

Sometimes the comments here remind me of the crowd wanting to kill the witch in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Got to do what The Beatles did ~ Overcome the hype with something that does exceed all expectations. Not everyone can do this.

Could it be that people just aren't interested in a product that places a likeness of a popular, history-making president of the United States in the place of a clown?

There is for President Obama perhaps more widespread respect and admiration than for the previous several presidents, and a souvenir like this is just bizarre and offensive.

I know of at least one chickenhawk coward war (x 2) supporter who's in no danger of being killed, because he lacks the courage (or principles) to volunteer. Even someone as strikingly stupid as Paulo should be able to understand that war casualties will take place regardless of whether the POTUS eats at home or goes out.

Knuckledragging Idiot Moliner:

The "teleprompter" is just a way to read a speech. All Presidents have speeches prepared before they give them -- even the "Great Communicator" had speeches written. Even the Gettsburg Address was written. Come up with a useful criticism, because this teleprompter stuff only plays with people as slow as you.
