Will the money-grubbing never end? How are we supposed to “Be the Change” when he keeps taking our change?

Commenter verogolfer: “Well, at least they didn’t offer a government bailout/rebate of $20 for those who buy the silly thing.”

SHHH! Don’t give them any new ideas.

    I would ask the question, “Does this man and those around them have no shame?” But we all know the answer.

    Methinks this is a case of ‘gettin’ while the gettin’s good’…wait six months or a year, and we’ll see how the “folks” feel.

    One more item for the Obama worshiper collection:

    The O Flag ~

    Question ~ Will the worshipers fly it above or below “Old Glory?”

    The constant double standard is enough to choke a pig. An advanced copy??? You have to be kidding! So, if we get advance copies of the poster, can we then use it for target practice? Common, give me a massive break.

    Listen, that is all I heard of. Maybe there is now an FBI file inches thick on the guy that made the movie. I don’t know. And I was merely speculating/joking about what the Secret Service’s reaction would be to someone target practicing with Obama’s head. And maybe there is a double standard with respect to Obama and Bush “death threats”, but I don’t think I would take that chance just on principle.

    Much like NYE in Times Square, I can actually think of few places I’d rather not be at the time. I hate oppressively big crowds.

    This shameless hawking of Obama lama ding dong memorabilia is really starting to sicken my family most of the folks I know in the middle of nowhere Idaho. Someone please stop the planet I want to get off!

    Big series of blizzards heading east – it’d be too bad if they gave a coronation, err inauguration and nobody came…imagine a flight of snowplows followed closely by 3 limos rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue with 10 Secret Service SUVs and 25 DC Patrol motorcycles and nobody lining the streets.

    I call a big ol’ bag of bull shieze on that one. I’d like to see how much Soros donated through his corporations/lobbyist digs.

    If you’ve seen the movie 1984, think of the label on Winston Smith’s “Victory Gin” bottle.

    Ok, ok, I’ll take one, but only if it enters me into the contest to have dinner with the Bidens…

    Something kept nagging me about the Obama poster. As a stamp collector, it hit me that the style of the poster is the same style that appears on communistic country’s stamps (especially Russian stamps) during the late 40′s through the 70′s. The style is the same used by Marxists. Interesting!~

    Why does he feel the need to continue to raise funds?

    Four more years!

    hopefully he’ll fail so miserably that he won’t get re-elected…of course he’s still in campaign mode and probably will be his entire time in office….oh joy…campain sound-bytes for for years…my mute button will be worn out after a few months…good thing I have a few backup remotes….
