Singing Obama & McCain Dolls

These are campaign dolls, made in China, that were sold during the 2008 presidential campaign cycle. The dolls are battery operated and they move as they sing.

The Barack Obama doll was produced while he was still a U.S. Senator from Illinois. On the package it refers to him as a “dancing rockstar”. It states, “The Senator from Illinois gets down and funky… this D.C. rookie is trying to dance into the White House”. The song he sings is a parody of “Oh Susannah”.

John McCain is referred to as a “classic megastar”. The promotional copy exclaims, “Don’t let his age fool you… he can still get down”. The copy continues, “The Senator from Arizona kicks it old school… this old D.C. warhorse is dancing into the White House”. He sings to a parody of “When Johnny comes Marching Home”.

The dolls are made of durable plastic and covered in cloth suits. They stand approximately 13” tall and can stand on their own. They originally sold for $14.99.
