The story about Obama O's had me excited. I start imagining myself in such postition and thinking if I would be able to pull such a stunt and the objections keep popping in my head. I wonder if it's just my fears or maybe the situation in USA is so different? Please say if the following is true in your home country:
1. You cannot go to presidential nominating convention (or similar political event).
2. You cannot engage in unauthorised commercial activity (sell stuff) at presidential nominating convention (or similar political event).
3. You cannot engage in unauthorised commercial activity (sell stuff) without proper license, cash register.
4. You cannot sell food without proper license (stating your right to sell food), certificate(stating origin of your food; who's made your "Obama O's"? Are they safe?).

It's likely they were selling these at some kind of event or area not directly affiliated with the convention. 2. I'm sure this is the case, but they were likely able to circumvent this rule by not selling in an area directly controlled by the convention. 3. You don't need some kind of license for selling most goods, but food is basically a controlled substance. If it's pre-packaged, the packager is regulated, not the retailer. 4. Non-perishable food is regulated mostly at the packaging & handling level. EDIT: They could have also claimed that it was art and not for consumption, which is a way to skirt the labeling requirements.
