Introducing “La Obama Soda”
The Cult of Obama has a new beverage. Taste the flava of Hope and Change:
A French businessman has named a fizzy drink after US President-elect Barack Obama.
The high-energy drink will raise money for an educational charity based in one of the troubled Paris suburbs.
Obama Soda goes up for auction in January.
Creator, Jean-Jacques Attisso has made 100 cans simply by sticking his labels on cans of energy drink.
He said he has been handing them out to youths close to where he works, hoping that Mr Obama’s success will serve as an inspiration to them.
Noticias 24 calls it “La Obama Soda.” The photo:
Man, I thought those pins and plates were tacky…

Kool-Aid by any other name…
Oh god, what next…
Are these green energy drinks? ‘Cuz we can’t have no energy, unless it is green and carbon free.
Yes, Kool-aid by any other name:
“It’s not just a silly tag line anymore!”
oh, for crying out loud!
Preparation “O” hemorrhoid creme.
I’m waiting for the toilet paper.
Tastes good at first but leaves a bad aftertaste.
How about a contest on this blog for Obama-themed products (with photoshops) that conservatives would like to see? Toilet paper was one already mentioned. I can think of some others: Alka-seltzer, gas-x, No-doz, and that cream they use on rashes.
Wonder how much “The One” will get for having his likeness on this product. I’m sure he’ll redistribute some of this wealth.
Already have it — it’s called the Dollar, and they can’t print enough of it.
Always comes flat and tasteless, no doubt.
Boubama butt paste, anyone?
What’s going to happen after the fizz is gone?
That’s exactly what troubled youths need. To be whacked out on energy drinks! Great plan! Anyone see the move Idiocracy? We are one step closer.
Tastes just like grape Kool Aide I’m sure.
I’m wondering, though, what happens when BO starts screwing up? Will there still be Barack HUSSEIN Obama action figures in McDonalds Happy Meals?
Anyone still want to deny this is a cult?
Next we’ll have Obama diet soda.
Lose a freedom with every sip.
I bet a six-pack only has four cans in it….gotta give 33% to the less fortunate.
If my memory serves me well, the French also had a soda named Pschitt. (Honest.)
I can see a new design for Bean-O.
Who could have guessed that Billy Beer would lead to this?
High energy soday for libs: It’s full of wind!
Don’t forget the Obama Pampers Or how about baby butt wipes.
I’d buy some Obama beer. I like the darker ales. Guarantee you his beer would have more hops than a typical white president.
Troubled by extremists of a certain religion no doubt.
I just sprayed 67% of my “La Obama Soda” all over my keyboard. Thanks!
It’s not good value: once the fizz is gone, there’s nothing left.
I tried to put some Mentos in one and nothing happened!
“The pause that redistributes”
Because you asked
Tastes great…less filling (because it’s empty)!
Coming soon to one of 57 states near you!
Like it’s namesake it will make an enticing “pffft!” when first opened, then leave the consumer feeling full of gas with an urge to belch.
“Just burps… Just belches…”
Sooooo, lemme guess: it is to give them energy to burn more cars & assault Jewish people?
Pretty label on an empty can.
That French name is translated as John Jack Offonallofyou.
Genius!! Pure genius!
They may not be the smartest people but they are loyal.
Let the holiday season begin!
Does it help wash down Crap sandwiches?
ROFL @ AJ
Shout out to 30 for the Obama holiday article!
I bet it tastes like ass and has a very bitter after-taste…
I know this is going to be tacky but I can’t resist …
I bet if you drink a lot of it some rich person making over $250k will have to go to go pee.
Tastes great!
Less filling!
Yes we can! (run to the bathroom)
Let’s not forget the oh so valuable and collectible Obama coin sets, which are nothing but ordinary coins with pictures of the Big O pasted on them.
Mao-ntain Don’t is a good name.
Then, let’s send a case of it to Harry Reid. Then, the tourists can complain that HE stinks!
Soap Box,
I could’ve gone a whole lifetime without knowing their is a holiday for a guy who has done nothing but vote present and say pretty words that someone else wrote.
Sometimes I wish I had a lobotomy home kit.
The soda probably does’nt list a country of origin either. Just like Obama!
From the link:
It’s a charity stunt, not a commercial venture.
And he’s not going for a mass market.
Imagine a charity event in Texas where someone auctions off an oil can with a Bush Oil label and a smiling President on the label. Liberals would not seethe with anger over that the way posters here do at anything Obama related, no matter how trivial.
The French “youths” will be inspired to use the empty cans for more Molotov cocktails.
Muslim soda label warning:
Soda may blow up in crowds.
“Creator, Jean-Jacques Attisso has made 100 cans simply by sticking his labels on cans of energy drink.”
Does that mean he’s violating patent rights by pasting his label on someone else’s product?
LGM – the difference is Bush is a 2-term President of the US. Obama hasn’t done ANYTHING yet except win an election and yet his adoring fans want to name sodas and streets and schools and create holidays for him.
THAT is where the cultish fanaticism statements come from.
If he is a decent President, and accomplishes some important things in office – then let’s talk about celebrating him for more than just winning the highest office & being black.
LGM (little girly man?),
If you equate “…seethe with anger…” with good-natured mocking, then I pity you even more than I did 10 minutes ago (and that’s saying something).
“seethe with anger”
Just having fun here, lgm. Why can’t liberals laugh at themselves? We’re all in this together, and life is funny sometimes…why take everything so seriously? No one here is seething with anger, just mocking some of the cultist that think Obama will solve all the world’s problems.
Us rednecks laugh along with Jeff Foxworthy.
Let’s hope it’s only got a 4 year shelf life.
Reminds me of Billy Beer.
Actually, if this is French shouldn’t it be Le Obama Soda? (My French is as good as my Bulgarian.)
“Lorsque vous avez la fugue”
Fixed it.
Betcha it too is a carcinogen….
I guess the holiday wasn’t enough.
This is really starting to get scary! Where the heck can one go to get away from the worthless products that are being hawked with the visage of Obamalamadingdong?
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE (mo-lone lah-veh) Translation: Come and take them!
Have you seen the Obama rifle yet? It is pink and lacks a trigger.
Glad I got that anger off my chest. I was about to go postal.
This marketting campaign by Obama’s people reminds me of Yogurt from Spaceballs.
“Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the
movieelection is made.SpaceballsObama-the T-shirt,SpaceballsObama-the Coloring Book,SpaceballsObama-the Lunch box,SpaceballsObama-the Breakfast Cereal,SpaceballsObama-the Flame Thrower.And last but not least,

Please make the bad people stop.
Funny, for a bunch of socialists…they seem to enjoy capitalism an awful lot!
It’s the French!
Oh, the label says energy drink, but when you open it you find there’s nothing but hot air inside.
Even in France, isn’t this illegal?
When you drink this stuff, it makes your arm wave a white flag, right MM?
Thanks, Soap.
If you pour Obama-cola over a welfare check, it spells out a secret message!

Personally, I prefer the Obama Martini — Kool Aid and vodka.
The only problem with the Obama martini is that after you make one, the IRS shows up and takes most of it away, to give to others. So you either have to drink it real fast or sneak around the corner, where no one can see you.
Cheers!
It won’t be long until Obama is rivaling Elvis for the most tacky souvenirs. Just take a look at what we have to look forward to! You think they’ll build a complete shopping mall of Obama souvenirs like they have at Graceland?
I couldn’t find a link, but Elvis Toenail Clippers are still my favorite. Obama’s can’t be too far behind.
One points it at the criminal, then one HOPES that he’ll CHANGE his mind about robbing one.
LGM, pop a top and relax, for pete’s sake.
BTW, does it also come in Yes-We-Bottles?
Dude – no WAY! You can’t point a gun at a criminal you would do jail time.
I found this restricted AP story on the web. It tell’s how they set up the pic’s of a kid drinking the soda, etc.
It never mentions what the ‘educational charity’ is but it does say that the neighborhood is mainly Muslims and other minorities, and was a scene of riots in 2005.
AP Story Here
BTW, it also mentions that the 31-year-old Attisso runs his own publicity firm in La Courneuve, one of the Paris slums.
Can you say ’self-promotion’.
All this talk about guns. I am either filled with hate or I miss CW!
This is nothing new.
Remember this? I do. My sister had a can but it was tin, so it rusted after a while.
Like most energy drinks, you’ll be all hyper initially, but coming down from the buzz will sap the life out of you.
At least it’s for charity.
Also very gaseous, i.e., makes you blow hard.
Oh no – a Frenchman is trying to get troubled youths to change their lives – and all of you people have a problem with this.
Question: What kind of people wouldn’t want high risk youth to change their ways and become productive members of society?
Answer: the losers on this thread.
HAHHHAHHAHHAAA – you’re on this thread!
1. It is 1 French guy with 100 cans.
2. The French are in their mess not because of us making fun of them and auctioning off 100 cans of anything will no more help their youth in the long run.
3. We have zero – zippo – nada problems with anybody helping youth. If this is the answer to the problems with the French youth – god help the French.
4. I blame Coke and Pepsi for not stemming the tide of current youth violence in America. (That was stupid so, you can understand how stupid you post was).
5. So far, you and lgm are the stupid ones who cannot see we are having some fun with this stupid idea.
Get some therapy.
…. it goes “flat” soon after the first swigg.
Good name for an Obama energy drink would be “Pure Bull”. Red color, watermelon flavor, triple the sugar and caffeine of a regular “Red Bull”.
Thanks for the advice “soap box”, yep, I should get therapy – what inbred, home-schooled, glue sniffer do you go to?
Because you are totally sane, oh and smart, oh yeah.. and thoughful too.
Your mama.
How is that again? No, really. I’m asking. How is this Frenchman ‘trying’? You might have to try a diagram with me….
If this keeps up, next years school emergency supply kit will be easy.
Obama energy drink
O-bama soap bubbles
Obama granola bar
Obama pack of smokes
Obama book (for comforting)
The Obama wipes mentioned above
Obama coloring book
Joe Biden elementry guide to plagiarism
All in a quart sized Obama ziplock bag
“Thanks for the advice “soap box”, yep, I should get therapy – what inbred, home-schooled, glue sniffer do you go to?”
Why are conservatives always portrayed as inbred by snobby elitist liberals?
And if I had a choice of a home-schooled therapist and one educated in our public school system I would have to pick home-schooled.
The lack of a sense of humor for many of our population could very well be the downfall of the U.S….as opposed to the economy.
Kool-Aid, who knew.
P.S. I would be careful addressing Ihatemycountry with kaca in your moniker.
Also, Liberals project onto others their own failings/faults.
“Energy drink”? Does that mean it makes people light up like fireflies? No thanks, it’d probably corrode my arteries.
Any chance someone in France could come up with “La Soda de Palin” in response to this? Now that would be clever.
I’d rather see someone here (like Sam Adams!) come up with Palin Ale: fresh, effervescent, full-bodied and strong.
It WILL give you gas, a sour stomach and probably a headache.
Bottoms up!
It has a lot of fizzzzzz, but if you set it out for awhile it just goes flat.
Buyer’s remorse in 10,9,8,….
Pale ales, are usually pretty hoppy, to the point of being slightly bitter. not sure this is the message you would want to convey. I am coincidentally drinking a fine one right now.
I believe there was a contest Ben & Jerry’s had to come up with an Obama themed ice cream. The winner was “Yes, Pecan.”
I’m not, sure what my problem is today with, putting commas in unnecessary, place.
Second time I have done that today.
I, personally, thought it was obvious.
Hey Chap!
