A Little Entertainment Junk For Your Trunk
No it’s not a new video game for the Wii.
At a press conference in Baghdad with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, President Bush had to play duck when an Iraqi journalist showed Bush how he felt about his policies by throwing both of his shoes at his head.
“This is a farewell kiss!” the man yelled in Arabic before throwing the shoes. This is most likely Bush’s final visit as president to Iraq and what a goodbye present did he get!
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.

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?
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’ Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The President.Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we will call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parent’s room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.’ The father says, ‘good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’ The little boy replies, ‘The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep poop.
