It was Michelle’s idea to start selling Obama t-shirts to bidders on eBay. It’s been a year and so far she has raked in about $390,000. It’s very easy money. Those people will buy anything.
She orders thousands of black and white t-shirts. I think they’re Hanes. The good kind, with thick material and a nice, tight neck that doesn’t stretch out when I pull it over my ears. She has some company in Chicago print a logo on the front and back of each shirt, ‘Worn by Barack Obama.’
The rest is easy. When I’m at home I take a t-shirt out of the box and put it on. Then I take it off. Then I put on another one. Then I take it off. Then another, and so on. She gets bids for $50 to $100 and sometimes more for each t-shirt she sells on eBay. Outside of campaign contributions, this is the easiest money we’ve ever made. The shirts are good quality. And each shirt was actually worn by me, Barack Obama.
Is America a great country, or what?

You have to thank God every day to have Michelle working with you. I also think that is not fair call it easy money. This is what we call smart money.
