One industry that for sure will not suffer during the recession is political apparel, knick-knacks, and novelties. Obama has more merchandise in his name than the Kiss Army, as reported most recently in the San Francisco Chronicle.

If you think the Kiss Kasket is strange, try the Obama condom:

The Obama condom, originally produced along with a McCain condom (tagline: "Old but not expired") this summer by New York entrepreneur Benjamin Sherman continues to be a strong seller, especially after comedian Lewis Black gave it a shout-out on "The Daily Show" recently. With more than 100,000 Obama condoms already sold, it may well be the item of the year.

Matt Bandyk, a reporter for U.S. News, explores capitalism from where it all begins, with the entrepreneur, whose risk taking and experimentation provide the roots from which the rest of the economy grows. As much courage as it takes to create one's own business, even the entrepreneur needs some help, and this blog will look at news, trends, and practical advice for starting and running a small business.
