I have a HS friend that uses Obama pictured TP...real class act. I did get a laugh at it but that type of low class below the belt behavior is better suited for Liberals, they're expert at it. I doubt my friend will be asked to make any commencement speeches at an Ivy College.
Who cares? I've got a news flash for y'all - most of the world already views America with some level of disrespect, and it has very little effect on the way I get through my day or the way the country conducts its business. As for disrespecting Obama, I don't respect him very much myself - so why should I care if someone else doesn't respect him?
Complete non-issue. There are plenty of other things that are a lot more worth worrying about than toilet paper. But it's funny that the people who seem to be getting the most upset over it tend to be the same crowd who goes around braying that they don't care what the rest of the world thinks of us.
On the one (non-wiping) hand - it's disrespectful to the country.
On the other (wiping) hand - Obama is a polarizing figure, disliked by many - including myself.
I gotta go with the disrespect angle on this. This is over the line - especially with the flag as the mat on the floor. However - dealing with it publicly could cause more damage. We could put Putin-paper on our rolls in the stalls.
U.S. officials expressed huge irritation after due to a Russian company that is trying to cash in on chilly relations between Moscow and Washington by releasing an ice cream called "Little Obama," which comes after a Russian cafe called Vladimir Putin has Barack Obama's face on toilet paper in their bathrooms.
... With relations at a post-Cold War low since Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and its military intervention in Syria, Russian state media and pro-Kremlin activists have often berated and mocked President Barack Obama in terms that U.S. officials have described as racist and insulting.
... Slavitsa is based in Krasnoyarsk, a Siberian city that hit the headlines last month after a cafe dedicated to Vladimir Putin opened there, luring visitors with dozens of pictures of the Russian president. The cafe features Obama's face on toilet paper in its restrooms, while toilet mats bear the colors of the U.S. flag.
I guess the other thing is that this is one place - it's not a countrywide effort, so maybe you overlook it for now.
If the paper works as good as most other things that are Obama's signature, I doubt it would work.

Link to Obama, Trump, Romney and Hillary on Amazon.
It will probably chafe and clog your pipes.
