Obama Deli Opens in Brooklyn

obamadeli0609.jpg Obama-mania is still sweeping the city, and while all those Obama Fried Chicken joints were faced with protesters, less, um, controversially-named establishments could stand a shot (Obama coffee and Meal O'Bama seem to be avoiding much trouble). Clinton Hill Blog reports on the latest "tribute" to the President: a 24-hour deli opening on Myrtle between Vanderbilt and Clinton called Obama Deli and Grocery. Okay, so when are all the Michael Jackson-inspired places opening? Jacko's Lanterns, Jackson 5 Brothers Burgers, Bubbles Hot Tubs, King of Poppyseed Bagels, Pizza in the Mirror... a little help in the comments!

"Stop, the life you save may be your own" rehab centers.

Isn't it illegal to use a president in promotional materials? Wasn't that the issue with Obama Fried Chicken?

Just a little update on Obama Fried Chicken: its name is back, if it ever actually changed at all. I took this pic 2 weeks ago:

I think Obama had MJ knocked off. Can't have any other racially ambiguous celebrities running around.
