In Retrospect, The Best Obama Swag: The Audacity Of Soap

Today’s Clout features a little anecdote from Daily News columnist Ronnie Polaneczky about a great piece of Obama merchandise she picked up at the inauguration: The Audacity of Soap!

This is probably the most clever of all the Obama merchandise I’ve seen. And, of course, nobody got it:

Ronnie wanted four bars to take home to her editors. But she balked at the $5 price. The vendor eventually settled for half.

“He said I was only the second person in the crowd who understood the reference,” Ronnie said.

Yes, this isn’t new, but it’s a quality reminder nonetheless that, if anything, Obama has already brought us all this great merchandise and we’re not even a week into his presidency yet. Wait ’til he has a scandal!

    There is a bit of irony there, a dirty politician getting people clean. Well the graven image of one at least.

    it’s a clear sign that obama’s plan of saving us from this recession starts with flourishing sales of obama apparel, plates, soap and other various merchandise. CHANGE!!! HOPE (They sell more soap!)

    The best part about this soap can only be appreciated once it is gone. I mean where else can you get an Obama playing card??
