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!
