WHAT: Asked the University of Tennessee bookstore to remove breath mints sold in tin cans bearing an image of President Obama and the slogan, “This is change? Disappoint-Mints.” “We certainly don’t want in any way to put the university in a bad light by having those political [products], particularly aimed at defaming the president,” Armstrong said. WHY IT’S DIM: Armstrong apparently didn’t visit any college campuses before November 2008.
