5 Pop Culture Obama Items

With Obama finally in office, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Let's celebrate with five items that show just how much he became a part of American pop culture.

#5 The Barack Obama Cabbage Patch Doll - Sold on eBay

#4 Run DC Shirt - $20
Who doesn't find this shirt totally awesome? An homage to run DMC as well as a play on word. Love it!

#3 Shepard Fairey's "Hope" image in Legos, by Sean Kenney. The piece measures 20″ x 25″ and contains 1,275 LEGO pieces. The original piece is selling for $695. (Looks like it was taken down.)
The Shepart Fairey poster was cool enough. In legos, even cooler.

#2 Obama SpokePOV - A crafty Flickr user turned six SpokePOV lighting systems into a single Obama logo.

#1 Chia Obama Handmade Decorative Planter - $20 on Amazon.
Cha cha cha chia! You can get Obama in happy or determined. No joke!
