No matter what your feelings are about Barrack Obama, he is the President— and the office and office holder deserve a measure of respect.
This is not a joke. I saw the commercial on TV today and my jaw dropped. WOW!! Somebody PLEASE tell me I've been taken. I will gladly accept the ridicule.

I KNOW!!! It's disgusting how far these "Chia" people will go to make a buck. Why, just last Christmas they tried to pull off this... and they didn't even ask me for a better pose!
