Hope on a Rope

The Obama-mania is an amazing thing in our country right now. I find myself excited about the possibilities and cautious about the future. At any rate, they have talked a lot about the marketing that has gone on since his election as president. One company made Obama shaped soap on a rope and called it "Hope on a Rope".

I thought this was a stretch for marketing but a youthful sage was talking to me about it and said that he felt like if you washed with a politician you would probably wind up more dirty. He may be right and in some cases I am sure he is.
