Obama dolls get retired and renamed
Dolls baring a striking resemblance to President Barack Obama's two daughters have been renamed after complaints from the White House.
Makers had claimed it was pure coincidence that the Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha doll not only shared the names, but also the look of the Presidents girls.
But after First Lady Michelle Obama voiced her concerns Dollmaker Ty Inc has 'retired' the dolls and will now sell them as Marvelous Mariah and Sweet Sydney.
The money raised from the sale of the original $9.99 Ty Girlz dolls will now be donated to charity.
White House lawyers are said to be moving to rein in commercial use of the Presidents name and image ... so
