Walgreens is ordering the removal of the "Chia Obama" from its stores in Tampa and Chicago, saying the ceramic-plant figure of the chief executive is inappropriate for sale.

Spokesman Robert Elfinger said store managers have the ability to market products of their choice. But the top brass of the Deerfield, Illinois-based drug chain was not amused by some of its Tampa and Chicago managers' choices to market the President Obama likeness.

"We got some complaints from people that they thought it was racist," Elfinger said in a telephone interview.

We can't wait to see the chain's Halloween mask lineup.

The "Chia Obama" can be found at chiaobama.com.

Well maybe some of the mullahs complained and promised jihad if they persisted.

Or Obama's Chief of Staff promised a dead fish to the CEO of Walgreens if they did not comply

To good ol' Virgil truth is an enemy and facts are a menace. He is not only scared of me but also you, Kathy, Abbey, Yurt and others who rely on facts and common sense values to make their points
