Bobbleheads depicting President Obama as a high school basketball player haven't gotten the nod from customs officials and may not be available for a minor-league baseball giveaway tomorrow.
The West Virginia Power, a single-A team in Charleston, W. Va., said yesterday that 1,000 of the figurines have been held up at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection warehouse in Los Angeles since May 20.
A U.S. Customs spokeswoman in Los Angeles said she didn't have information on why they were stalled.
The bobbleheads are a likeness of Obama in his high school basketball uniform and were to be part of tomorrow's theme of fitness and healthy lifestyles.
Fans will be given vouchers to pick up the bobbleheads once they arrive, said Kristin Call, marketing director for the Pittsburgh Pirates' South Atlantic League affiliate.

Gotta love getting Charleston news from the Philly Inquirer.
The first step in a successful revolution is to defeat all competing revolutionaries.
