King vs. Obama

After Sen. Barack Obama’s recent victory in the Presidential election, a wide variety of products such as pins, posters, and T-shirts have been sold which depict Sen. Obama along with Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The King family is trying to get a piece of the action by claiming that they are owed upwards of $1,000,000 in licensing fees for these products.

I wonder whether Sen. Obama will also seek to collect licensing fees for this merchandise, either for himself or to donate to a worthy cause.
