Profitable Web company to close

WhatPresident.com founder John Fischer said Tuesday he will close the virtual doors on WhatPresident.com the minute after George W. Bush completes his inauguration.

Fischer, of Boulder, Colo., founded the site during the Thanksgiving weekend while at home fighting the flu. It sells coffee cups, golf balls, caps and other trinkets monogrammed with the words "He is not my President."

Fischer said profits from the site have been sufficient "to send my three small children to the college of their choice some day." He describes himself as an Internet marketing consultant.

To promote the venture, he e-mailed friends, alerting them to the site, and asking them to e-mail their friends about it. "Orders began coming in within a day," he said. Fisher was a supporter of Al Gore, but has become more confident with the prospect of a Bush presidency after seeing some of the Cabinet nominations.

He says he will close the site out of respect for the presidency
