Barack Obama's money machine: Now he's selling orange juice!

January 14, 2009 |  5:44 am

Obama-like OJ ad

We've written here before about the compulsion of Barack Obama's campaign and transition team and inauguration team to send out e-mails seemingly every day pleading for more money and more money, even weeks after he won the whole national election.

It's called donor fatigue.

Now, less than a week before his presidential inauguration to move into the White House with his family and mother-in-law, Obama has been exposed by the funny folks over at TMZ.com as someone using the presidency to sell orange juice with his daughter, Malia. They're even taking a vote over there.

Of all things.

And he didn't even win the Florida primary.

What's next? Burger King on the South Lawn?

Seriously, whaddya think? Is this for real? Or just real exploitative?

Obama's new presidential administration is coming in. Even more reason, after you buy some OJ, to register here for cellphone alerts on each new Ticket item. RSS feeds are also available here. And we're on Amazon's Kindle as well.
