The folksy image of former President Bush appeared on a billboard in Minnesota earlier this month, next to the words, "Miss me yet?" It appears a lot of people think it's a fair question.
The online store CafePress * http://shop.cafepress.com/miss-me-yet * saw a spike in demand for items featuring the same image as the billboard, the New York Daily Newsreports. Ten "Miss Me Yet?" items were on the company's list of its top-selling designs, CafePress spokeswoman Jenna Martin told the Daily News.
"There were no Obama-themed designs on the list," she said. "Bush has stolen the political spotlight, just like Sarah Palin did the week before when she re-surfaced with crib notes written in her palm."
Obama-themed merchandise saturated the Washington area around the time of the president's inauguration last year, but by the fall, the enthusiasm for Obama caps, t-shirts, commemorative plates and so forth, seemed to fizzle. U.S. News and World Report noted earlier this month that even the Obama Store, located in tourist-filled Union Station, has closed, in what "may be the most tangible sign yet that the [Obama] honeymoon is over."

"...to be a Virginian, either by Birth, Marriage, Adoption, or even on one's Mother's side, is an Introduction to any State in the Union, a Passport to any Foreign Country, and a Benediction from the Almighty God...." Anonymous
the honeymoon is over, for sure.....the divorce can't happen soon enough!!!
Hot Dog Barbara you stole the words right out of my mouth! Go away Obama, go far away! Pelosi & Reid too!!!
I've bought bumper stickers from them for years and I'm glad they are on this "theme"...
Wallace - I commented this to Larry earlier and I want to ask you as well...have you noticed that what were formerly staunch Obama supporters on AR are no longer so? They seem to be more pushing Hillary these days than the person they voted for. Thoughts?

Yes * I see they are either QUIET * on Politics and Real Estate & Proud to be a Liberal * or non-existant. The few that area posting are making feeble attempts and have NO ARGUMENT to offer that MAKES sense * even to themselves.

Look for Hillary to resign as secretary of state shortly after the dems get trounced in the mid-terms I think she has one more presidential campaign in her
Hugh * I think so too....I don't think she likes the being SecState and while I think he would like to sit on the Supreme Court, the confirmation would be rough. Her being free to run with foreign policy experience would be a good jump
