In the political paraphernalia department, "Yes, we can" is becoming "No, he can't."

Anti-Obama memorabilia -- from T-shirts to bumper stickers to buttons -- is increasingly emerging in the marketplace as the president's economic and health care policies polarize supporters and detractors.

While "Mama for Obama" was a popular slogan during the 2008 election cycle, that design has been retooled with angry and fickle disenchantment: "To the Mama for Obama -- thanks for the tax hike." The "Audacity of Hope," the title of Mr. Obama's popular book, has been replaced by the "Audacity of Hype."

NOPE!

Just by listening to radio and seeing what still is on the MSM.

If by ‘sleeping giant’ you mean clueless liberal dimwit, then yes.

Funny you should mention the Obama sticker. Yesterday, I saw what appeared to be a hand done: "Mama for Obama" sticker on the back of a car accompanied with an old Kerry/Edwards sticker. I could only laugh.

I wish they had come out with Mamas for Edwards stickers, then you could sneak up with magic marker and write across it: "Are you carrying his child too?"

(like to amuse myself..sorry)

Why do libs never remove old bumper stickers? Are they waiting for some government agency to do it for them? They never seem to get them on straight either.

Yeah, and they say we're bitter clingers...

The real reason, however, is that without those old bumper stickers, the car would simply fall apart.

There is still one ultra liberal working here and she still has a gore/loserman sticker on her piece of junk vehicle.

I get your point, there are a ton of old lib stickers around, but lately, inthe last 3-4 weeks, i've seena TON less 0bamster stickers than i used to see. Before, about 50% of the cars in this liberal Connecticut town had bamster stickers, i'd say that down to about 10-15% now.

People are definitely souring on this guy.

As Mark Steyn wrote this week, they're scratching off the old ones that say "Question Authority".
