Obama Grocery store on Myrtle?

[Where: Obama Grocery Store, 411 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn 11205 ]

While hanging out at the Myrtle collapse fundraiser today, someone pointed out this future spot to me.
Is this a bit much? Calls to mind the Obama Fried Chicken that the community in Flatbush protested. Curious to see how Clinton Hill will take this… Personally, I find the use of Obama’s likeness for purely commercial purposes opportunistic and unsettling.

Grass fed burger on brioche at Autour du Monde

The owner –who used to manage Chez Oskar– explained that all the meats are grass-fed and all other ingredients organic. I want to eventually try the Australian imported grass-fed lamb raised on fields of rosemary!
