The Obama 2012 campaign has started selling “Made in the USA” T-shirts and coffee mugs on its website, featuring the slogan that is typically printed on goods produced in the United States and a picture of the president.
The merchandise is an obvious reference to the controversy surrounding Barack Obama’s birth certificate, which the White House posted online in April. Both the shirt and the mug, which can be had for minimum donations to the campaign of $30 and $15, respectively, also have the document in question pictured.
Although the birth certificate may seem like last month’s story, an Obama official told ABC News that the merchandise is being released now, in part, to combat a new book by Jerome Corsi titled “Where's the Birth Certificate?: The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President.”
