**** SPECIAL HUGE THANKS TO DAVID LUNDE/LUNDESIGNS FOR ARTWORK IN THIS POST ****
Some months ago, I witnessed a disturbing fashion trend. No, not "Obama" tattoo tramp stamps, but something almost as bad . . . and perhaps worse: the B. Hussein O. campaign has been producing and selling "Obamakas"--yarmulkes with the Barack Obama Presidential campaign logo on them.
I cannot imagine a more silly and ironic fashion idea.
For those of you who don't know, a yarmulke--pronounced "Yah-Muh-Kuh," thus the Obamaka moniker--is a Jewish religious skullcap that looks like a beanie and which is worn by men (though some annoying liberal women wear them--and they look like outer space lesbians when they put them on). It is supposed to symbolize modesty--and that there is something higher (G-d) above you.
My brother wears one, my late father wore one, and many religious Jews wear them. Most Orthodox Jews wear them always, except in the bathroom and bed. Others wear the yarmulke only when they are in synagogue or praying. They're the ones who wear the tacky, blindingly shiny faux-satin yarmulkes that they then force all the Presidential candidates to temporarily don when they make the obligatory synagogue campaign stop.
For the record, wearing a yarmulke is not a commandment or requirement under Jewish law or from the Torah. It is a custom and probably the among the least important Jewish religious observances there are.

That freak is so hairless it took me a second to realize it was a man.
Nice!
Do think Obama's 'other' is simply subtle; as it would have to be; & probably the same designer.
Don't think in Obama's case; and with his people and MO; that there is anything as simple as a 'cigar just being a cigar'. This is man whose entire campaign is built on a contrived symbolism. Count the American flags this man uses for photo ops when making appearances. . .while he cares not for a small and personal, flag pin. His messianic rhetoric - signifying nothing. Never has a suit; been so empty.
