This is either evidence of the ongoing cult of Obama, or a sign of the coming Apocalypse, I'm not sure which:

San Francisco-based Joseph Enterprises, the company behind the Chia Pet and The Clapper, is rolling out its own brand of patriotism with a clay statuette of the commander in chief. Just add water and Obama's hair grows faster than the national deficit.

"It's unbelievable the interest we've had on the product," says Joe Pedott, president of Joseph Enterprises and the company's namesake, speaking by telephone Monday from the International Home & Housewares Show at McCormick Place.

Although the official launch of the product is April 2 for stores such as Walgreens, the Chia Obama has been rolling out slowly on the Internet and in Chicago and Tampa, its first two test markets. [snip]

Others who share the Chia honor: Homer Simpson, SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo.

That's quite a distinguished list.
