Back at the end of March I was dismayed to see a Barack Obama "Determined Pose" Chia Pet for sale at Walgreens, and wrote about it here on GONE, as well as on the WindyCitizen.com
All over the country, other Walgreen's shoppers weren't impressed, either. The doll was removed from Walgreen's shelves, though not before this North Ave. shop owner had purchased one, and began planting Obama's hair.
Here are two photos of Chia Obama, one taking in early April, and one snapped yesterday afternoon while en route to a meeting. Both shots are of the same chia pet, in the same window.
Did the owner decide it wasn't worth watering anymore?? Note: There are other healthy plants in this shop. Why was this one neglected? The hairs on Obama's head kind of look like from a weeping willow tree....
