Closing shop: ‘The Obama brand’ doesn’t sell

In case his approval ratings weren’t proof enough, then maybe the overstock on Obama bobbleheads will make the case.

The Obama love affair is over.

Just a little more than a year ago, Obama gear was hot when tourists were bustling into the capital eager for a taste of the new commander in chief and a T-shirt as a keepsake. But it seems as Obama’s luster has dimmed, the market for Obama goods has taken a beating.

One sign his brand just isn’t selling? The Obama store in Union Station is all boarded up, according to U.S. News & World Report.

The question remains as to what took a bigger hit from the economy — the Obama store or the Obama brand?
