LOL: "This holiday season Barack Obama has been our Tickle Me Elmo."
An action figure based on President-elect Barack Obama has become a huge Christmas hit according to a Manhattan toy store. The $12.95 doll is similar in size to a Barbie and was created by Jailbreak Toys. "They are literally flying off the shelves. The kids see Obama, and they just want to grab him," a member of staff at the Scholastic Store in SoHo told the New York Daily News. Store manager Denys Ramos added: "This holiday season Barack Obama has been our Tickle Me Elmo. We did have the John McCain figure, but we had to discount it."





(Summer suit?!)
