Disgusting thing in a common "gift" catalogue..

It is a 13" doll.

You "pull it's finger" and it "Insults politician, cracks jokes, or raps" (and, presumably, also farts)

It is called The Farting President.
I will not post the picture, but you can find a way to email the catalog in the Customer Service section

Yes, it's disrespectful - but as the poster above me points out, companies have been putting out disrespectful stuff like this for a long time.

Trust me, you can find much more offensive Obama merchandise on the internet. Much, much worse.

What would you think about someone who gets all huffy and offended at a Bush themed gag-gift? Just throw the catalog away and forget about it, for your own sake.
