"Damn, they gonna make more sellin' Obama t-shirts than he gonna make bein' president."
Location: Near a row of stands selling Obama shirts and merchandise at 15th and Market, Philadelphia.
Exposition: I actually heard this quote not long after Obama won the election, but figured now was as good a time as any to post it. The street stands, despite the apparent poor quality of their merchandise, were seeing a surprisingly high volume of customers. The gentleman who made the above statement was commenting on how staggering both the popularity of Obama and the commoditization of his presidency were before he had even stepped foot in the Oval Office.
