Poor Barry!

What an absolute hoot! I remember all the hoopla when the Obamas vacationed at Martha's Vineyard last summer. People were in celebratory mode selling all types of Obama gear. It kind of reminded me of what it was like Christmas shopping in 2008, when you couldn't escape all the Obama paraphernalia littering the malls.

But, times, they are a changin'. Who would have thought that George W. Bush t-shirts would outsell Obama ones, and in bluer than blue Massachusetts.

I'm loving this. It must be killing the libs to hear this. How about it, Diogenes?

George Bush “Miss Me Yet” T-Shirts Outselling Obama Ones on…Martha’s Vineyard?…

"My head is spinning, everything I thought I knew about this World has been thrown into disarray…


OAK BLUFFS'Sharky’s Cantina is once again mixing its “Obamarita’’ cocktail, with tastes of the president’s favorite fruits, and the Locker Room on Circuit Avenue has restocked the “I vacationed with Obama’’ T-shirts.

…One barometer of the plunge in excitement has been the sale of Obama-themed T-shirts, which designers had been banking on after the craze of last year. Clothing labeled with the president’s name sold by the thousands, helping to salvage a tough economic year for the island.

But this year’s T-shirt sales are much less brisk, merchants say.

“Last year, Obama gave you goose bumps, but I don’t think you’re going to see that this year,’’ said Alex McCluskey, co-owner of the Locker Room, who sold more than 4,000 “I vacationed with Obama’’ T-shirts last year. But so far this year, he said, his hot item is T-shirts of former President Bush asking, “Miss me yet?’’
