What The Jorge?A Little Entertainment Junk For Your Trunk

T-shirts, mugs, posters, stationary, dog shirts, and even baby bibs…these are just some of the memorabilia for sale that has president elect Barack Obama’s image on them.

It is reported by the Washington Post that Barack Obama merchandise is alive and kicking in an economy that is supposedly going down the drain and in the dumps. In most cases, the business of presidential candidate merchandise completely dies down after the election is over. Not for Obama, and it shouldn’t be surprising after all this man is walking history! And if you are living under a rock, it’s because he will be the first African-American president.

Obama is a “living, breathing stimulus package for a modest-size group of entrepreneurs who are slapping Obama’s image on any surface it’ll stick to.” David Segal of the Washington Post writes.

CafePress.com, is a very popular website where anyone with access to the internet, can start their own online store just by uploading an image and that image can be reproduced on blank t-shirts, mugs, posters, etc. Statistically, on CafePress.com, there are approximately 96.000 different styles of Obama merchandise for sale.

Before Obama, the most popular selling presidential merchandise was “Anti-Bush” memorabilia.

Here’s a few things that you can “Obama-fy” yourself with:

Sneakers from SneakerObsession.com

Action Figurine from HBCU Kidz

And the Obama souvenir to end all Obama souvenirs:

Obama Flip-Flops?

Should we be worried that we are praising a president so much that hasn’t done anything in office yet, or be glad that just him being alive is stimulating the economy?

Here’s a change even Obama might believe in…

McCain recently spent over $5,000 for “American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance” makeup artist, Tifanie White to do his makeup.

I’m sure it probably wasn’t just for her makeup ability but hey nothings too good for a possible future president of the United States that is going to protect our financial stabilities.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d do that prehistoric dinosaur’s makeup for over $5,000 grand. But what I want to know is, what in the hell kind of makeup would you put on the man? I know most women who in their lifetime probably don’t even spend that much on makeup.

Yes, I know he’d understand if I skipped out on my mortgage payment to get me a $5,000 makeup job done to run for president of my book club.

The latest excuse for gas prices going up is because of Hurricane Ike. According to The Desert Sun, the hurricane “caused a near total shutdown in crude production in the Gulf of Mexico, triggering gasoline shortages and dramatically higher prices at the pump in parts of the South and Midwest.”

The presidential candidates, McCain and Obama can say all they are going to do to drop gas prices, but let’s face it, we were told a while ago that there was going to be “no more taxes” so I’m sure we are not smart enough to fall for the same trick twice over. They can all eat my giant taco!

These supposed hard economic times calls for people to budget themselves. I’ve read how a lot of people are seeking help by joining credit counseling agencies to colsolidate debt.

There’s a million and one ways to do that; debt management, debt settlement, credit counseling, debt consolidation loans and mortgage refinancing. Depending on your credit score, it might determine which avenue you go down. If your broke as hell like me, consolidation loans are out of the question. I think the computer laughed at me when I tried to apply for a debt consolidation loan.

Saving money is so important now, I think, more than ever. Mainly because whomever becomes president, who knows that they are going to do? With a new President coming into the office and the economy going down the toilet all at the same time do you think it’s just the perfect recipe for disaster?

Or maybe it’s just me sniffing the $4.00 a gallon gas fumes!

Even if you do not plan on voting for Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential Election, this is pretty freakin’ awesome:

It’s Leg-O-bama!

I want to see what a Lego-McCain would look like…I wonder how many ghost white pieces would be needed to make a replication of his face?

Scary thought.

This guy might have a successful business in the works. Hell, I’d pay for a Lego replication of my dog!

Oprah, who publicaly supports presidential hopeful, Barack Obama has claimed that she is not interested in having Republican Vice President hopeful, Sarah Palin on her show.

Why not?

She did come back to say:

“There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show,” Oprah said. “I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would make a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on the show after the campaign is over.”

AFTER the campaign? No one’s going to be interested in the campaign after it’s over. Arn’t we being a little partial and senile Oprah?

I was listening to my local radio station the other day and Hilary Clinton had called in. This was legit because we’re in Ohio; she was campaigning here to win the primary vote for here in Ohio and Texas. Not to mention, it did sound like her, she has a distinctive voice.

I actually enjoyed listening to it. I did vote absentee and it was for an unnamed Republican candidate, but after listening to her talk on the radio, it almost humanized her in my eyes. These DJ’s were not helping the situation either with their questions. It wasn’t serious, political themed questions. They were humorous questions like “If you get elected President, do we call you Madame President?” She laughed so hard when she heard this question.

If I would of herd this interview before I sent in my absentee ballot, I probably would have seriously reconsidered my vote. I don’t ever pay attention to those stupid commercials that end with “I’m [insert candidates name here,] and I approve this message. I’m so tired of seeing Barack Obama commercials, I don’t say I dislike the guy, but it’s just like watching the same movie over and over again, you get tired of it.

My only seriously curious question is: If Hilary Clinton was elected president, what would that make Bill Clinton? We surely couldn’t call him “First Lady” Or could we?

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama is taking a few pointers from Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, or should I say…taking a few lines from his speeches. What a bore! Clinton had been giving him grief that he gave good speeches, his speeches just didn’t have any solutions to the problems. For once, I will have to agree with Clinton. Obama reminds me of an old boyfriend I once had…He sweet talked me and told me things I wanted to hear. When it came down to actually doing all those sweet, whispering nothings….he was a one-minute man. We don’t need a sweet-talker for a president.

 And to once again not give Obama any credit, reciting lines from”I Have A Dream” was not very original either. Come up with your own speeches and quit quoting others. Fire your speech writer or sleep with him and/or her so they can have enough revelations to write you better speeches.

Am I the only one thinks that something would be seriously odd if we elected a man named Barak Obama as our U.S. President? Does anyone remember who bombed us on September 11th? I decided to do some research and found a Afghan Terrorist Name Generator which was very cruel sounding, but it sparked majr curiosity in me. I thought I was the only one having these thoughts that someone could possible take the wrong way? So I decided to give it a whirl…

My Afghan Terrorist Name is: Al-Yazir Ima Fhatti

Barak Obama’s Afghan Terrorist Name is: Misukin Osama Offen

COINCIDENCE? I think not…
