but what about all those poor obaminites whose only income is selling Messiah paraphernalia?

CafePress will be sad to hear this. Of course, it’s been perfectly okay for the past 8 years to print and distribute every kind of “blasphemy” against Bush, using his image on t-shirts, bumper stickers, mousepads. But now the “one” can’t have his image used indiscrimately, even if it’s because of his “so-called” popularity. I think this may be more about the items that might be produced that give a negative sentiment, more than the items that give a positive sentiment...just saying.

Like Obama a did when he created that egotistically phony "Presidential Seal"??

[digger48]

While I’m sick to my stomach over it, I simply can’t fault someone for making money off of the idiots that are so smitten by this “O”sshole

[CodeToad]

Or, how about his phony "Office of the President Elect" that doesn't actually exist??

One of my Zazzle “associates” makes nothing but probama stuff. I think this is kind of funny in the getting what they voted for sense.

Peripherally related: I walked past the magazine display at a local bookstore and was really creeped out by the fact that nearly every magazine had a picture of the A.S.O.B. on its cover. The visual effect alone was disturbing enough, but the Propaganda Ministry implications.... brr-r-r-r-r...

0bama just wants his cut of the profits.

The commemorative caps and plates (made in China) being sold at Walgreens has BHO’s signature on them. This means the merchandise is approved by him.

I can’t fault the idiots for trying to make a buck, but they won’t get it from me. I will never buy another Pepsi. I hope they lose twice as much as it cost to change their logo. Anything that looks remotely like an Obama conection will lose my business. In the big picture it won’t make bit of difference, but I feel a hell of a lot better.
