Team Obama now pimping lapel pins
“Obama for America,” the permanent fund-raising entity for The Cult, sent out yet another solicitation this evening — this time for a “limited edition” holiday pin.
Nope, it’s not made out of rhodium.
The pitch:
Make a Donation Today and Get Your Official Obama Pin
This holiday season, celebrate our historic victory with a limited edition Obama lapel pin. Your donation will support the Democratic National Committee and help recover the enormous resources they committed to this campaign.
If you’d like more than one pin, you will need to complete this form for each one you’d like to purchase. Simply indicate whether the shipping address is different from your billing address.
Make your donation of $15 or more by December 15th and your lapel pin will be delivered by December 24th.
Maybe they could hawk them in a special package with reproductions of those crazy impeachment ornaments.
The constant hawking of Obama gear is getting out of control. Have you seen the plates? Tacky!
As for Obama lapel pins, I prefer this one from Flip Pidot.

Now we know why President Hussein did not like the flag pins…HE DIDN’T MAKE MONEY FROM THEM. Poor guy has to pay for the 30k ring somehow.
This nonsense has reached the point of being “unseemly”. The other day while cruising the cable stations there was one channel consisting totally of “Obama Collectibles” and declaring how these “historic” items would be worth fortunes in the future.
I mean … give me a freaking break here!
Pin up time
that is one reason why not to marry MO
Nazi era war “collectables” are worth money today too
Slow news day?
Probably made by the Framklin Mint people right?
“Forced to choose, the poor, like the rich, love money more than political liberty; and the only political freedom capable of enduring is one that is so pruned as to keep the rich from denuding the poor by ability or subtlety and the poor from robbing the rich by violence or votes.”
~ Will Durant
“When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”
~ Benjamin Franklin
I like to lighten things up at the end of the night if possible. Smile.
Pretty soon, Obama’s gonna sign us all up in a Ponzi scheme and really make some money.
Instead of Amway, he could call it “I Am the Way”.
These will contrast well with the gold colored elephant lapel labels the Obama Home Defense Force will require all registered Republicans to wear.
Have to know who the subversives are you know, so the school children can inform on them.
Four years of fund raising for re-election? The Obama™ will have $10 Billion by 2012, he can just buy the election.
That would be highly ironic coming from the liberal faux messiah considering Uuhbama doesn’t even believe the true Messiah’s proclamation:
Visited some of my new in-laws for Thanksgiving, and saw a very pricey Gui Borchert poster of Obama in the entrance to the house. I had to laugh, as they probably destroyed the value of the poster by hanging it with push pins, esp. after we found the receipt in the trash. The plates would have been a more affordable alternative. We stopped laughing when their 10 year old son gave thanks for “our president-elect” at the dinner table. I gave thanks for my new family and 4-year terms.
I actually meant that literally. I was just looking at my Google Reader and it seems like the first day in a while where nothing major happened. It’s kind of nice.
I’m sorry if it came across as snarky.
My favorite Obamamania item is the plate. Best commercial since the Magic Bullet.
His confident demeanor and kind eyes…
You don’t get it you idiot. This is stuff you would and will hear after the bowl games and national “NCAA national chapionship” is decided. It is a joke that these items are being pushed for and inexperienced lackey that has been elected to the highest office in the world.
sarc/on
But, maybe O will fix the BCS. That would be a huge accomplishment for “HIM”!
sarc/off
Just make sure it doesn’t have an American flag on it. Want to make sure the “O” can wear his own pin.
Fixing the BCS would be nice…
Wait, do I get the bottle cap with Limited Edition on it too? Or is THAT the pin?
What’s a lapel? My T-shirts don’t have…can I get it on a pair of flip-flops for special occasions?
The best part about the Obama plate commercial is the undecided electoral college votes. What, they couldn’t wait a couple of days until all the results were in?
I’m waiting for the black velvet poster of Obama walking with Jesus and Elvis to come out.
What? No armbands yet?
Obama Vs. Constitution (60 Sec. TV Ad)
I thought using the word pimping was racist? For shame MM !
Um, I’m fairly certain George Soros already helped him do that in 2008.
Wonder what the marketing geniuses will have in for us over the next couple of years?
Let’s start some now.

UNO – The One
Risk – Bailout
Game of the States – Game of the 57 States
Why would you need an Obama pin? Shouldn’t your Brown Shirt be enough to identify yourself as one of Dear Leader’s disciples?
I just don’t know how much more barfing my body can take.
Just imagine if all of this was attempted by a Republican!
Even the Clintons didn’t go this far, but I wonder if they’re kicking themselves for not doing it. Think of the money they’d make on cigars alone!
“His confident smile and kind eyes”…
OMG, that is hilarious.
Obama the Magic Negro.
Clinton introduced the concept of “The Permanent Campaign.” Hope-a-Dope is only expanding upon it: the beauty of the Hope-a-Dope twist on the theme is that only one or two at a time can spend the night in the Lincoln bedroom of the White House, but thousands of people can cough up the dough for lapel pins.
He’s “President Didius Julianus.” Anyone familiar with the 1960s movie “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” will remember the closing scene, as the senators gather around to auction off the throne of Rome to the highest bidder.
Only instead of buying the Oval Office, Hope-a-Dope has sold it.
Call me too white, BUT . . . haven’t we shown that this great country has opportunity for ALL? Two black Secretaries of State, black Lt. Governor, black Secretary of Housing, Hispanic Attorney General, etc . . . Oh, wait, I forgot, they’re in REPUBLICAN administrations and don’t count.
I am SO SICK of this crap!
.
Oh gag me…
Seems this should put to bed the question of whether the Obamunists understand capitalism or not.
We’ll know for sure if they come out with some Club Gitmo gear to compete with Rush.
People are buying this crap? P.T. Barnum was a genius.
And not just lapel pins, action figures!
That reminds me of those offensive coin commericals I’ve been seeing lately, selling “coins” with a colorized side of Obama. Of course, the U.S. Mint has stated that it isn’t legal tender (worthless, really), but people are buying them anyway. I’ve even seen them try to sell postage stamps with Obama on them. A lot of people may find their mail returned. The way they present the commericals I find quite offensive. Anything for a buck.
Laugh, but I see as disturnbing: the start of a personaltiy cult.
I’m just waiting for the Billy Mays endorsement . . .
“But wait! If you call right now, I’ll DOUBLE the offer, and if you’re one of the first 500
suckerscallers, we’ll ship it to you FREE!What a hoot, although I think it might be considered racist to “hang” the plate proudly on the wall, as the commercial suggests.
Personally, I think these plates could best be sold as motivational tools to combat the epidemic of obesity challenging our nation. Use ‘em to eat off of, and we guarantee those pounds will melt away since the image of his “confident smile and kind eyes” will make you lose your lunch quicker than a dose of syrup of ipecac.
When Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton show up on cable sporting “that pin” we’ll know we are in real trouble.
Question, is Obama going to fund raise for the next four years or actually work? Just asking, I remember that lecher, Komrade Klinton, spent his time renting the Lincoln bedroom and playing patty-fingers with interns while our enemies plotted and moved against us.
THE OBAMA BEDPAN
Now that might make some money.
Too bad folks don’t use ‘chamber pots’ anymore.
Maybe they should change the name from Obama for America to Data Mining R Us. For a donation of $50.00 or more you can get royally fleeced.

All that was missing was the background vocals…

The only episode of The West Wing that I saw detailed the origen of the fantasy President’s slogan, “BARTLETT (insert dramatic pause) for AMERICA”, complete with heart rending moments and tear wrenching music.
I figured that would be the slogan du jour for the Dems.
How many requests for street name changes have been submitted to local governments around the country? Me thinks that will be the next thing to look for. There has been outrage in some parts of my state when a specific main road was not renamed in MLK JR’s honor/memory. It didn’t seem to matter there was another street in the same town already named after him.
Seriously…an action figure? What the….
Forgot this Bartlet for America link.
Let’s go back in time…
But wearing an OBAMA pin…what is that a substitute for?
I realized he’s changed course on the flag pin issue (when it became politically helpful), but his instincts are fascination. Wearing a pin to honor Obama = good. Pin for country = bad.
So he didn’t believe in flag pins then, but of course changed course when he became the nominee.
With the election over, what is it legal for him to still be collecting donations and what exactly are these donations going to be used for?
Anyone wanna bet – that whoever is selling the plates is a conservative?
Will one of you good people buy two? Then you can share the wealth and and send me one.
May I humbly suggest an Obama autographed copy of “Atlas Shrugged” or “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand.
I’m not sure if many of Obama’s followers can read, so as memorabilia these books would be a problem.
I am so completely confused. I thought we were promised that we would be given EVERYTHING if we voted for Obama. Free gas and rent and health care and and and. And now he’s asking people to pay for stuff? What gives?
Wonder what percentage of the people who voted for Obama will wake up to that realization and over what time frame will it occur.
The dopey people who can’t afford their mortgages and car payments will max out their credit cards buying this crap.
He didn’t “work” (if that’s what you call what Senators do) for the past 4 years of his senate term.

I like the Tapestry throw. Very Classy! I hope they use one in the Lincoln Bedroom.
When does he sign with Nike?
It would be a good door mat.
…and get a bailout.
First it was Obama coins & then Obama plates, now it is Obama pins. What’s next? Obama panties, bras & jockeys?? Blech!
Rep. Waxman can use a pair to plug the holes in his face.
Obama action figures, Obama Monopoly (as in MSM political campaign), and last but not least, the Obama “Pimp My Ride” with wind propeller.
I’m not the classiest guy in the world, but even I know this is crass. I don’t think even BJ stooped to this level of cheesiness.
Betcha I’d get in trouble if I printed up a bunch of O’Bama mug-shot targets for the pistol range. Think the ACLU would help me out?
I want an Obama memorial flag with 57 stars (or is it 58?)
AND …
You will need the matching tote bag to carry all of the “historic” stuff … pins; plates; dolls; PEZ …
How long will it be before Mrs. BO gets here line of rhodium jewelry and designer sleeveless dresses and….
Would you prefer boxer-briefs or thongs?
Maybe BO could just get MO one of those thongs with his kind eyes — just to show his appreciation for all of the sacrifices she was forced to make. Save himself $30k or so…
OK, this site will never have anything positive to say about Obama. But when the negative things are this stupid, Obama must be doing pretty well.
Yesterday, we learn that an anonymous jeweler thinks he might buy an expensive ring for his wife. Today, he’s selling $15 pins.
Does “pimping” as opposed to “selling” pins mean that the pins will demean themselves by giving cheap pleasure to Democrats?
I predict Obummer, America’s ‘First Pimp’, will have a very short shelf life.
We are not yet required by law to say nice things about the dear leader.
Yeah the press really needs to check out thier stories before publishing them. Most of the Palin crap falls into this catergory.
It means the obama campign has been all about the dolla’ bills yo since it started. Alot of people are cashing in on the hype.
Tarpon – I agree with you.
Creepy. Do you think Dear Leader will perform a mass-marriage at his inaugural?
The Left will see to it and make a mockery of the Office of the President of the United States. They just can’t help themselves. Children of pleasures & power. These people hold nothing in esteem, and have no place for anything sacred.
D’ohbama IS creepy as is his wifey. I mean that in a narcisisstic, psychopathic sort of way and they are already making a mockery of the Office of the President of the United States.
MJ calling us all racist in 3….2….1
Misscheryl:
You RRRRAAACCIIISSSTTTT….
Didn’t want you to feel left out.
Then, go to Move-On, Kos, or one of the other temples, cultie. We’re proud dissidents, here.
(Remember, cultie, dissent is patriotic. You guys have been chanting that for the last eight years.)
I’ll wait for the O’Bummer tolit paper thanks. What I’d really like for Christmas is a Michelle O’Bummer door matt to wipe my feet on. My Mohammad one is getting worn out.
This is really nauseating. And I thought I was being facetious!
Well OK how about Obama Pampers? Catch all the poop!
Gee thanks! Back at you
Are they cheap? (twins on the way…)
Its getting to be a label to be proud of the way the left is using it. Dissent against obama = racism. dissent is patriotic. Therefore racism is patriotic. Welcome to the twisted world of obama.
Chris Matthews wears them.
I can’t speak for anybody else on this site, but if O’Bama ever does anything laudable, every achieves anything for anybody but himself, I will have no problem recognizing it. But I know you’ll understand if we think the odds are against a guy who’s 47 and has never held a real job — one with any responsibility or accountability. You may argue that “Senator from Illinois” was such a job, but I’d say his record there is pretty much an illustration of my point.
Yeah but thats so he can maintain his “tingle”. No going any deeper than that on that topic.
CNN certified, MSNBC endorsed
It’s Freudian.
In my neighborhood, the Obama bumper stickers were placed crooked on most bumpers. I believe this round lapel design eliminates that problem.
Shirts, pins, coins, plates, election signs with just his name and face. I’m just waiting for the giant goverment free gaint picture for the house. And IGM I’ll have something good to say about him, I bet he smells nice, see I said something nice.
As to any goverment under his command no I never will, because we only put Clinton Act 2 in command and with that we can now throw what little self respect (and defense) the US every had out the window, American spoke and apparantly most of it is as they (you) said the 2nd time Bush won, Its full of retards.
Ditto on both counts!
It was the MSM that handed Obama the presidency on a rhodium platter – NOT his extraordinary wisdom, remarkable talent, or exemplary achievement or distinguished merit, because from what we have seen of his abilities so far, those rare qualities of distinction are non-existent in him [Obama].
In fact, if left to his own devices, Obama would probably have returned to Hawaii once his Senate term had ended to peddle his law services as an ambulance chaser in a second floor office located in some rundown neighborhood in Hawaii.

Oct. 4th, 2007 – WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said he doesn’t wear the American flag lapel pin because it has become a substitute for “true patriotism” since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
But wearing an OBAMA pin…what is that a substitute for?
Methinks intelligence, teamguy.
Man. I thought the Clintons were the epitome of white trash with their constant money-grubbing. Obama makes the Clintons look like country club elite!
lgm, you go first – say something nice about Bush.
OOhhh! I have the next great marketing idea – the Obama Gia Head!
Slap an obama stick on a pile of dog doo doo and these idiots would buy it.
That does it. I am now forced to buy a commerative George W. Bush plate set to offset these horrible things.
Coming soon: action figures, lunch boxes, LEGO sets, Underoos, Lightworker lightsabers, and comic books.
Obama, the first president to have a marketing scheme to rival star wars.
