I’ll acknowledge being cynical and maybe need to remove my tin-foil hat, but wut would like to know more about those T-shirts. Who designed? Who paid for them? What do they say on the back? Who were they delivered to? What grand ticker tape parade through Chicago had been choreographed for Obama on this Copenhagen win?
In all fairness, downtown Atlanta was packed 19 years ago when it was announced that the city had gotten the 1996 Olympics. The AOC sold t-shirts for months prior to the event and they passed out signs at the gathering (my mother worked for the AOC for two years prior to the selection and all the way through the games in 1996). I have no issues with that stuff.
