Other Obama Products
Since Barack Obama captured the attention of the world with his messages of change and hope, many companies have flocked to use the new president's image to market their products. German company Sprehe has attracted recent attention for their Obama Fingers product, but they are far from the first company to use President Obama's name to try to sell their product. A company called Obama Condoms sells condoms with Obama's face on the wrapper complete with a campaign quote. Other companies are offering Obama dolls, t-shirts, underwear and soap-on-a-rope.Spiegel Online: German Fried Chicken... (March 11, 2009)-
