As long as they don't try to mess with those of us who mess with his image.... for free :)

"...aw, c'mon Jeeves, before we get there can't you slip
me a teensy little hint about what your basketball team
wants to give me?"

I am thinking of printing up T-shirts with anti HolyO slogans. I think I could make some good money there. :-)

Obama wants royalties now? Amazing.

[RichInOC]

Does this include paid intercourse with campaign contributors?

[razorback-bert]

Reminds me of “By Appointment of His Royal Majesty” stamp in Jolly Ole England.

Just another attempt by 0 to stifle free enterprise.

What are the obamaphiles going to wear when they outgrow their Mickey Mouse shirts?

[Oldpuppymax]

Oh please. What they want to limit are the “attacks.” In other words, the amount of negative information made public about this corrupt, unqualified, ignorant clown. Who in the world is stupid/gullible enough to believe Hussein wishes to limit the infinite fawning and glorification he’s received over the past 2 years?

So the words “change” and “yes we can” are now owned by Obama? Gee, I think those words have been used for years.

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.

Just like this post...

So that's how he'll stay in power forever--by copyrighting the title?

The Presidency of the United States of America (c) 2009 Barack Obama

“Our lawyers are working on developing a policy that will protect the presidential image while being careful not to squelch the overwhelming enthusiasm that the public has for the president,” White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

This is funny coming from the same bunch that sells plates, coins, etc. to pedal this fool.

So the Obamasia is NOT getting a percentage off of the junk being manufactured with his image on it.Somehow I don't believe that.

Gee, I seem to remember a certain production company using actual GW footage in their Bush assassination movie.

Can you be tempted by a Obama Chia Pet? Personally, I’m stocking up.

Censorship

“Commercial use”

How dare anyone make money from his image—our dear leader (SOCIALIST TYRANT).

The bigger reason (for the conservatives who think socialism/communism can’t happen here) is to intimidate and slow the sale of materials that portray our dear leader in a negative light.

As I’ve said here many times—the hard-left is taking over your country—you know, the communists?

You won’t believe that because you have been conditioned to believe otherwise.

But I hope all of you who don’t think it can happen will give the rest of us some indication when you finally awaken and realize that they are coming for your freedom in a big way—an unprecedented way.

Won’t you be surprised to realize how little has been done in resistance.

The financial crisis was deliberate.

We have been set up.

America is dying—right now, as you read this.
