 balthazarus says: “I absolutely love the man.” The margins are sky-high: a T-shirt that costs between $5 and $7 will retail for $15 to $25. “There has never been a better time to be in this business,” he said. “My biggest concern is running out of merchandise. You can’t give Bush stuff away at the moment but anything with Obama’s picture on it is walking out of the store.” The market for Obama products, added Mr Warlick, has been worth as much as $250 million since the start of the campaign Messiah rules... on t-shirts... we'll see how well he rules for real pretty soon. What's the expression? Oh yeah - people are sheep... and in undying words of great Forest Gump - 'stupid is as stupid does'... or was it his mom? Regardless, seems like all of the above is true.
