Tingles still waiting patiently for the blow-up doll.
(Politico 44) — This just in from President Obama’s Twitter account: The heat is getting turned up.
That is, according to the campaign’s latest presidential merchandise. “Fired up, ready to grill? Get our 2012 apron for your next tailgate or BBQ,” the campaign staff announced on the @BarackObama handle, linking to a picture of a blue, two-pocket apron that says “FIRED UP, READY TO GRILL,” “2012, BARACKOBAMA.COM,” and a picture of a grill that is literally fired up. It costs $35.
We noticed, though, that there wasn’t much of a description of the apron on the product page, so we called the information hotline to check. The apron is polyester and cotton, it’s one-size-fits-all (but “it has a strap that is adjustable so you can bring it up or slide it down as needed,” according to the woman on the phone,) and, like the other products sold on the campaign site, it’s American made.
