Suit to halt sales of Obama gear

Lawyers for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign are asking a judge to halt a website's sales of T-Shirts, bumper stickers and buttons with the campaign's signature "O" logo.

Lawyers for the campaign asked the judge Monday to issue a preliminary injunction barring Washington-based Demstore.com from selling merchandise with its logos.

But Judge Emmet Sullivan appeared skeptical. He asked why the campaign initiated legal actions against the website in 2007, during the Obama's first campaign for president, but didn't follow up until 2011. A lawyer for Demstore.com's owner argued that many companies are selling similar merchandise.
