"Please let there be a photo op where someone is seen wearing a t-shirt like this.
One barometer of the plunge in excitement has been the sale of Obama-themed T-shirts, which designers had been banking on after the craze of last year. Clothing labeled with the president’s name sold by the thousands, helping to salvage a tough economic year for the island.What's remarkable is the Boston Globe even mentioned this and Obama's getting destroyed in the comments."
But this year’s T-shirt sales are much less brisk, merchants say.
“Last year, Obama gave you goose bumps, but I don’t think you’re going to see that this year,’’ said Alex McCluskey, co-owner of the Locker Room, who sold more than 4,000 “I vacationed with Obama’’ T-shirts last year. But so far this year, he said, his hot item is T-shirts of former President Bush asking, “Miss me yet?’’
Residents have also noticed a drop in the number of stores with Obama posters on their front windows and homes with signs that welcome the first family.
