BOY! oSama team sure is milking this vp crap to the max! McCAIN better take a cue as to how to stop the bleeding after a disastrous debate! Kudos to the black messiah’s team for knowing how to put a tourniquet on a hemorrhage.
I think we’re being punked. The font is different and that bumper sticker looks like something from the 1970s. No way would Obama approve of it.
Maybe Obama can’t make up his mind . . .

Good one. They could also save on travel money. Just send cardboard cutouts to all of Bye’s appearances.
After weeks of speculation and days of intense rumors, the answer to who Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would name as his running mate may have come down to a bumper sticker printed in Lenexa.
KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reported that the company, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material. That's Bayh as in U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana. Word leaked out about the material as it was being printed up by Gill Studios of Lenexa. The Obama campaign had said it would make the announcement by text message on Friday.
Gill Studios would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either.
"We're very disappointed that you would spread this rumor," Gill Studios President Tom Carrico said.
"You didn't print it here?" Mahoney asked.
"I didn't say that. But I'm very disappointed that you would come out and interview us and ask for confirmation and we said we would not confirm," Carrico said.
"Or deny," Mahoney said.
"That's correct," Carrico said.
Mahoney reported that at least three sources close to the plant's operations reported the Obama-Bayh material was being produced.
Bayh has a reputation as a fiscally conservative Democrat. Bayh endorsed Hillary Clinton and it is believed that he could help the Obama ticket by delivering a key battleground state.
Obama has arranged a joint appearance for Saturday with his running mate at the state Capitol in Springfield, Ill.

it is a poor picture, but there is some additional text etc cut off in the bottom right corner, and drudge is only posting the story from another site
KMBC

and why would obama promote it was made in the USA, he thinks china and europe are better.
Get ready for the big swerve: Hillary will get the call. That Bayh sticker looks so amateurish. BHO is looking at those polls and getting a sinking feeling. He will glom on to Hillary for now for instant credibility, thinking he can effectively jettison her once elected.

6. I can confirm that it is. I have been blasted in another thread, but this will come out.
As of now, the plan is to break this during Keith.
We were told that the text would go out at 9pm EDT.

She is a director at Indianapolis-based WellPoint Inc., “which is part of a medical research partnership awarded a $24.7 million federal grant in May after Evan Bayh and his Indiana colleagues in Congress recommended the group to the National Institutes of Health,’’ Bloomberg’s Timothy Burger reports. “She’s on the board of E*Trade Bank, a subsidiary of E*Trade Financial Corp., while her husband sits on the Senate Banking Committee. She is lead director at Emmis Communications Corp., an Indianapolis radio-station operator that published Evan Bayh’s 2003 memoir.
``When you’re vetting a vice president and his wife is on seven boards, that is a serious question of conflict of interest on a whole variety of issues,’’ James Thurber, director of American University’s Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies in Washington, tells Bloomberg.
Hillary it will be.
Obama, this week, realized he needs the boost he would get from the slickster and slicksterette machine.
Who cares if she was vetted. The Clintons can easily dupe the mainstream media by claiming “Hillary has undergone more scrutiny in the past 15 years than anyone in history”.......
And she will be in like Flint...
Take it to the Arkansas Bank....
Mitchell, Obama’s kneepadder.
