Typical liberal behavior. I think the real story will be the “Together we thrive” slogan and the fact that its in been in use by they usual organizing for Obama crowds for a while.
Also how did a new company (called Youth Movement) with 11 to 50 employees pull off the logistical nightmare of printing some 50,000 t-shirts, bumper stickers etc, in a matter of 3 days?
This was Obama climbing a pile of coffins to appear presidential.
I'm officially commandeering this line. I will use it shamelessly in the conservative Blogs which I write for. I will not give the proper attributions (cripplecreek?), but I will be clear that the line did not originate with me.
Nobody will believe it.

I’m in the printing business that does t-shirts etc.
It usually takes at least a working week—5-7 days:
1) create a pdf file with the design,
2) the design onto a printing press
3) manufacture that many t-shirts along with the bumper stickers
4) pack and ship
It can be done in shorter time but one would have to pay a huge fee to get it done that quick.
Most likely, this slogan along with the shirts were already done, sitting in a warehouse and the left just waited for the right opportunity to use them.

I researched California’s records...Youth Movement registered as a business on October 21, 2010. They are a brand new company.
How would such a large order go to a brand new company?
Who paid this $60,000 bill? On a no bid contract? Was this brand new company a prequalified contractor for the bookstore?
I think the answer to all of these questions is obvious: This company was set up by DNC operatives in California, in preparation for the 2012 campaign. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose. But somehow, the U of A got in touch with them (an out of state company), with this urgent and large order. I understand that this is the business these companies are in - they specialize in large urgent orders. But why not find a company in Arizona that does this? Phoenix is a big town - probably could have gone there.
I’d understand if U of A had a long established history with this company as their ‘go to’ source...but the company has a 70 day history. That’s it.
How did they get in contact with them? I’d say the administration made that phone call.
