New Yorkers may soon get a chance to say hail to the Ch-Ch-Chia Obama at local drugstores.The grassy-headed figurine of President Obama was pulled from Walgreens shelves in Chicago and Tampa after some people called it racist and company brass decided the new collectible was wrong for their image.
But Chia Obama's maker says he won't cut and run, and he is in negotiations with drugstore chains in the New York market to bring Chia Obama here in the coming weeks.
"As quickly as they can take them, we will send them," said Joseph Pedott, 76, founder of the as-seen-on-TV Chia Pets empire.
In the meantime, Pedott added, Chia Obama is for sale online - in "Happy" or "Determined" poses - for the amazingly low price of just $19.99 (three seed packs included!).

What an odd piece, Obama as a Chia pet. when purchasing one, that person has little respect for the President. Makes you wonder if they respect themselves.

I wonder if Obama thinks they're racist. They've done one of all the presidents for like the last 20 years or something iirc. Maybe he likes them.

I'm sure that even when the grass on his head grows folks will still blame him for the initially bald head he was given.
