AiNeko III says:

Obama accessories are also popular. Boris van der Ham of the Liberal democrat D66 party is drinking his coffee from an Obama mug. 'If I had not been late, I would have worn my Obama shirt to parliament today,' he tells the paper.

Leerdam's favourite gadget is an Obama doll, complete with an outfit for every occasion.
