   Wow. I didn’t actually believe this was real and did the search myself… 3rd item on the list was this exact item.

   I can’t believe this, I thought it was fake, until I did the search. So i emailed amazon to get this taken down. I think everyone should try to pressure amazon to get rid of this listing.

   I think they should keep this up. I like it when companies telegraph their twisted right wing sick ideology so I know not to shop there. I might have considered buying something here before I saw this.

   That is AMAZING! So funny I nearly wet myself. They should keep that up, that’s just too funny.

   Amazon is disgusting and people should boycott them. I will encourage every one I know to do so.

   chill out people, I can assure you that Amazon didn’t explicitly put Obama under those keywords. The product was perhaps tagged like this by their customers, similar thing could easily happen even to Google any day.

    You people really need to wake up. This listing has nothing to do with Amazon directly. Any amazon seller can create a listing with whatever key words they want. With more than 1.4 million registered sellers (more than Ebay has) you can’t really expect them to be able to police every new listing. This was just some clever seller trying to get alot of free publicity for their listing (which was accomplished quite well). Amazon’s only responsibility was to remove the listing, which they did as soon as they found out.
