Running for Office is $$$$

Running for any office gets pretty expensive pretty quickly, and running for president burns up money faster than any other office. Lots of candidates sell t-shirts with their names on them to supporters to raise money, but the Obama-Biden re-election campaign is going above and beyond with some of the merchandise they have for sale this year.

The “Made in the USA” mug makes light of the “birthers” who questioned whether the president was born in the United States and who have been a lot quieter since Obama’s long-form birth certificate was released. That same document is printed on this mug, while on the other side, the president laughs that anyone would get so worked up about the natural-born citizen clause.

Later in the day, he will join you for your own private “Beer Summit” if you pick up this can holder, emblazoned with the Vice President’s photo and the toast “Cheers champ.”
