On the Web, Obama Is Hot

Barack ObamaBarack Obama is a hot ticket to high sales online, according to the latest rankings on Amazon.com. The president-elect’s “The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams From My Father” are the two top bestsellers among Kindle e-books and paperbacks on the site and his September policy pitch “Change We Can Believe In” is ranked No. 11. Sales of an Obama tie have soared and Obama t-shirts from some of Amazon’s independent retailers are jostling with iTunes accessories and Levi’s jeans for the top spots in the apparel category.

But it’s not all about Obama. Sales of Mickey Edwards’ “2008 Reclaiming Conservatism: How a Great American Political Movement Got Lost — And How It Can Find Its Way Back” have climbed to 131st place from way down at No. 23,190 just a day ago.

  • And it’s not just books – our Obama baby t’s and onesies have been selling like hot cakes (www.obabytee.com, in case you have a baby that wants a change)!

  • “Change”? What does that mean? You Obama people — 60 million of you, apparently — make NO sense to the rest of us. LOL — replace the words “change” and “hope” in Obama’s writings with the word MONEY, and see how his bullshit reads then.
