I [wrote](https://www.cato.org/2009/07/14/turning-tide/) recently about the anti-Obama T‑shirts on display at Washington’s Dulles Airport. This week I can report that at the Baltimore/​Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, there are [big cut-outs](http://america-store.stores.yahoo.net/post.html) of Barack and Michelle Obama. But they’re standing by a display of [shirts](http://america-store.stores.yahoo.net/dontblamemetee.html) reading “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted for McCain and Palin” and another reading “[NOPE (with the Obama campaign logo) — keep the change.](http://america-store.stores.yahoo.net/nopetee.html)” The times they are a‑changin’.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should note that out in the real America, the airports of Albuquerque and San Diego, *there are no T‑shirts on display for or against any politician*. It’s like they don’t think Americans **care** about politicians.
