Anti-Obama gear now floods market
Times of India ^ | August 14, 2009

Posted on 08/14/2009 6:17:31 AM PDT by Schnucki

WASHINGTON: Anti-Obama merchandise has hit the US market as the president’s economic and health care policies continue to draw frowns. ( Watch Video )

Popular slogans were apparently being rephrased amid growing doubt over the policies. These include “Mama for Obama” being replaced with “To the Mama for Obama — thanks for the tax hike”, “Yes, we can” becoming “No, he can’t”, “The Audacity of Hype” retooled to the title of Obama’s popular book, ‘The Audacity of Hope’.

“It really started peaking about a month ago,” said Amy Maniatis, from the online seller Cafepress.com. “You see it as a direct response to some of the promising messages that happened a year ago.”

There’s a video there that’s worth watching just for a little balance and some context on whether or not the world loves obama and obama’s (alleged) America.

I was browsing for a birthday card in Wal-Mart yesterday and saw a whole series of cards featuring goofy-looking pictures of famous people. Of course, George Bush was there. Notable by his absence? You guessed it: our current Dear Leader. I guess we’re going to have to wait a little longer for that card...

That’s absolutely, undeniably, right on the mark, truth.

This was my favorite, given Obama's arrogant statement to the CEOs about him being the only between them and the pitchforks...

That last one could be greatly improved.

“Ironic how the 1st black president is enslaving us all.”

Something rather interesting along the same lines: We were in LegoLand in CA recently (July 31 & Aug 3) with our 6 y/o grandson. We were also there with him in Dec. 07.

They have this whole area where world landmarks, but mostly US landmarks are recreated out of Legos - including New Orleans Bourbon St, Las Vegas, Mt. Rushmore etc. There’s also the White House. In 07 it was the White House and some people milling about on the steps and on the mall etc.

NOW it’s an inauguration taking place in front of the WH. Guess who’s being inaugurated? There’s no big sign says it’s dumb0’s inauguration but it’s easy to tell that’s exactly what’s being depicted.

People from all over were standing there admiring this area but by far the most photos I saw being taken were of the WH. People were leaning over to see better, pointing out the man being sworn in, talking about how awesome it was that it was depicted so well and so on. I had to literaly walk away. I felt ill that this well known site for kids was taking a stand this way. Maybe I’m very wrong but I could swear there was no Bush inauguration being depicted when I was there in 07.

When we got home and I was going through pictures that everyone on the trip had taken (we “pooled” our photos so we’d all have different views to see) there were quite a few of the WH. I had to delete those. The man, his policies, his intimidation of dissenters and his attempt to remake this country into some socialist haven turn my stomach so much that I couldn’t stand seeing those photos.

Sorry. Didn’t mean for this to get so long. Maybe I’m over the top on this, I don’t know. I just know I can’t even stand to see him on TV or anywhere - he has so abused the trust all the sheeple placed in him by voting for him. Sorry again - thanks to anyone that reads this. Guess it’s just my morning blather....

” Ironic how the 1st black president is taking away our freedoms”

Obama is seeking revenge
