"This Holiday Season ...

...celebrate the historic accomplishment of our movement for
change. Treat yourself or a loved one to a limited edition Obama coffee mug."

I wish this was an Onion story. Can you impeach a President-Elect?

What upsets you about this?

No link. Was it an official Obama offering? I only ask because Colbert made fun of some hysterically kitschy knock-off Obama stuff last week.

You know, if you want quality, brand-name Obama stuff, I suggest here:

It's an official Obama offer. The quote is from email. The mug is here

Jim, if getting email from your President exhorting you to get his holiday mug doesn't bother you, then I guess it doesn't bother you.

It bothers me. I may be naive, but I don't think it's too much to ask for your president to get out of the self-promotion business after... you know... he's literally the most powerful and important person in the world.

Well, I think people want this stuff. People want to commemorate the moment in big and small ways.

Also, I know they are also still fundraising for the innaguaration.

People are fans. There is nothing wrong with giving them fan gear.
