1. Who cares?
I think you're reading more into it than you need to. Sure, the cheap consumerism that has followed the Obama name is kinda lame, but it's not racist.

2. When it's shown on Fox it's racist.
That's the cynical thing about this particular product. The marketer thought they could find demand with Obama haters and Obama fans alike.

4. You might be right...
but then again Fox does get the highest ratings among political channels so it may have been more of a numbers comparison, and believe it or not, a fair number of Obama supporters watch Fox News. I guess I don't see what satisfaction the haters would get from getting Chia Obama. You grow out a fro? I mean, if they really wanted to they could buy a whole number of Obama gear to bend to their hateful thoughts.

6. No one complained about Chia Clinton. . .


I think I'll reserve my "righteous anger" for a target worthy of it.
