OBAMA 411: Where To Cop Obama/Inauguration Swag

Unless you've been living in a cave (or you're a hater), you know that tomorrow is the day that our 44th (and first BLACK) President, BARACK OBAMA takes office.

Almost as important as the Inauguration itself (which is getting almost, maybe even MORE attention than the campaign and victory), is the mementos attached to it -- i.e. Obama Swag.

Years and years from now people will be sharing, showing, maybe even trading and selling collectibles and other items attached to this historic election, victory and inauguration.

If you're like me, and didn't go to the DNC and can't go to D. C. for the Inauguration, you have to settle for local (and online) novelties to add to your collection.

And as always ... I'm here to help :)

The Obama Shop (located at 900 Market St., Suite 205) is offering special Travel Packs to commemorate this historic event.


The travel packs will include: 1-tshirt (high quality pre-shrunk), 1-button, and 1-raffle ticket (to win one of 3 framed/matted poster set with retail value of at least $75). All this for only $12!

If your group orders at least 30 or more, you'll get the discounted price of $10 per set!


The Obama Shop is open Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 9 pm. They can be reached by phone at: (318) 533-8803 or (318) 221-5811. Or you can e-mail them at: theobamashop@gmail.com.

If you're looking for other items, try the ONLINE Obama Shop that linked to the Campaign/Incoming Administration.

They have shirts, buttons, stickers, artwork -- EVERYTHING you could possibly think of that will remind you of this special day. I picked a few of my favorites (click on the items to be taken to the order form!):

Long-Sleeved Shirt
$25




Vintage T-shirt
$20




Children's ("My Future Starts Now") T-Shirt
$20



Obama Basketball Jersey
$130

Commemorative Plate
$82

Framed Commemorative Plaque

(featuring victory photo and excerpt from Obama's victory speech)
$40

And if you thought that jersey was expensive, you should see the Commemorative Medallions made of silver and gold with Obama's face carved in them ... the price tag for a set of 3 (adding a smaller bronze one) -- $3,000 (that's a down payment on a CAR!!!).

Along with the items shown above -- and the expensive-ass medallions -- there are dozens of other items to choose from ... like posters, buttons, glassware, hats/caps, bags, other clothing, activity and coloring books for the kids, jackets, frames, wallets, art, jewelry, and blankets.

You can even pre-order your copy of the Official Obama Book, chronicling the ENTIRE Campaign ... all the way up to (and through) the upcoming Inauguration.
