Obama’s Presidential Inaugural Committee operates a Web site and a retail store offering dozens of official commemorative items, from $2 “I Was There” buttons to a $3,000 set of gold, silver and bronze inaugural medallions. A canvas tote bag designed by Diane Von Furstenberg sells for $70 and a Donna Karan “100 percent organic cotton” t-shirt is $45. .
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority is selling reusable smart cards with Obama’s likeness for $10, plus the cost of subway or bus fares.
Political Americana expects to sell 500,000 buttons in the days surrounding the inauguration, and is seeing steady sales of an Obama periscope to let people see over the crowd during the inaugural parade.
Hard to believe--He's a one-man stimulus package! And we said he couldn't fix the economy. Just goes to show us, huh.
