DemStore CEO Steve Schwat accused the campaign of “selective enforcement,” saying there are many companies selling materials with the same images.

“We’re disappointed that the Obama campaign seems to be…penny-wise and pound foolish,” Mr. Schwat told the Blog of Legal Times. Mr. Schwat said his company has sold merchandise boosting Democratic candidates since 1985.
