Its all part of selling the GE brand.

Yes, they should be more objective like FoxNews, Rush Limbaugh, and the "The Great One" Mark Levin.

So if the Fox news store sold Bush mugs, baseball hats, t-shirts, etc. after his two victories, you'd be fine with that, huh? Suuuuuure.

I would expect the Fox Network, if they had a gift shop, to sell presidential merchandise, whether it was a president I didn't like or not.

Quit projecting your own ridiculous outrage on the rest of us.

So, asking a question is now considered "ridiculous outrage" to the far left, huh? Oh, and those of us that dare question Dear Leader are all racists, too. Hyperbole much?

I can't exactly have a link to the store from last year. I used to work down there and have been in that shop a few times.

Gift shops in tourist areas have Presidential stuff to buy. They had Obama stuff at the last 2 airport gift shops I was at too... just as they had Bush stuff when he was Prez. It's for tourists.

Again with the projecting. Who the hell called anyone here a racist? And you ask me about hyperbole? Truly, the mind boggles.
