Barack Obama inaugural souvenirs are selling at three times the rate of the previous record holder, Bill Clinton, according to vendor Jim Warlick, veteran of eight inaugurals.
What's hottest? "Anything with Obama's image on it," Warlick said. This left about 150 possibilities at Warlick's Political Americana shop in downtown Washington.

The bobblehead doll's smile looks a lot like NBC's, Lester Holt.
What is bling?
No no no no. Bubble heads just creep me out, no matter what they are of. And this one doesn't even resemble Obama.
Why is the Obama inauguration being commemorated by a bobblehead doll of Huckleberry?
quite a mystery, isn't it?
What's next, giant murals of Obama on the side of buildings?
Ya know, like they did with Sadaam Hussein in Iraq before we showed up and painted over them.
Depends on what Obama does once sworn in and does what he does, I suppose.
Not a polite analogy on your part, but anything's probably possible.
No, those spaces are reserved for Shrub, so we can graffiti them as we work off our post-Bush-stress disorder.
Made in China... ;)
Naturally. No American is qualified to make them.
For "qualified", read "willing to work for 2 cents per hour." (Hell, for America's basic cost of living, 2 cents, 2 dollars, or even 10 dollars can't do it.)
It looks like someone took a Mike Huckabee doll, painted its hair black and tinted the skin to 'Boca Suntan".
Creepy.
I had to go to DC in the SUMMER!!
I want me some swag.
Ladies and Gentlemen.
No, it's called a colloquialism, or slang. Those who can use a thesaurus AND a dictionary are products of the public school system. Those with snarky sarcastic angry little minds are more likely the product of...hate? bitterness? Tell us, Ohiomark. Oh, don't they use proper capitalization for nouns in Ohio anymore?
That bobble-head doll does NOT look like President Obama!!!
That Obama-head depicted above actually looks more like Tony Dungy. former NFL coach.
I thought they took a Special Edition Jaundiced Rush Limbaugh Bobblehead from 1982 and painted on some black hair... that explains the wrong color and youthful appearance
I would be wary of these sellers. Some are Obama haters just trying to rip people off for a quick buck.
what's up with the yellow skin?
The Chinese envy him and think he is theirs?
*ducks for cover*
He's a one-man stimulus package! Heh, heh, heh!
White man bobblehead with olive skin.
