Looks like something you would have seen in WW2. Just needs the swastika and little mustache.
Well, at least they didn’t offer a government bailout/rebate of $20 for those who buy the silly thing.
Who wants my extra?!?
Soap?
Aloha?
Come on txvet…don’t be shy in asking.
Gotta add one more thing: I am SO SICK of having this jerk’s face plastered everywhere I look! Truly, his campaign is naziesque… with all the idolitry they’re pushing out.
I’ll take it Chap, the cat’s litter box is due a new liner, thanks.
Shepard Fairey?…. that’s a name? really? must’ve had the crap beat out of him when he was a little tyke.
Hamas.
Why can’t this just be sold straight out as a commercial item? All this “for a donation of x” stuff is revolting.
Hey, maybe we can ship the posters to Iran for their protests! (See Picture of the day: Burning Obama’s flag to the right)
No. I will only give it to a good and loving home and someone who promises to hug and kiss it every day.
No. But, I have a feeling obama will be soon offering “bailouts” to women to give up their fetuses for the purposes of embryonic research. Mark my words. It will happen.
He’ll make women feel like such an act will be contributing something great to the world of science, and the abortion industry will become reinvigorated.
Fairey posters belong on Folsom Street.
I’ll take it. My husband has been stocking up on his guns and ammo, and he could use some more targets. Thanks!!!
Yeah. That won’t have a nice man in a dark suit with a shiny badge that says “Secret Service” on your doorstep.
No, not in my area. Everyone around here has guns, and everyone around here (with brains) loathes obama.
Not if threats against GW Bush is any indication.
I’m serious when I ask this… how have past inaugurals been closed and less accessible than they will be for Obama? From what I understand, you still have to have tickets to get anywhere close to the Capitol for the swearing in and you have to have tickets for the balls that evening.
Oh, and check out the story on Drudge about the predicted inadequate number of porta-potties. DC is one place I don’t want to be next Tuesday.
No thanks . . . not even for 20 cents.
I’d like to get in a lather over this, but the Repub Natl Committee is forever sending me spam begging for donations. Both political parties are whoring themselves for money; nothing else matters. As for the poster itself, I wonder how many of those will end up in people’s barbecues
whenif they ever wake up?Here come the PhotoShoppers…
Just add a corkboard and some spraymount…..PRESTO, a dart board!
Waitwaitwait.
You guys are all missing a bet, here.
This thing’ll make a GREAT dart board!!
When bho comes on the tube, I mute. When bho opens his mouth, the forked tongue works. I would not have one thing in my home with bho face on it.
L
I will take it. I will use it in my bathroom for … “decoration” … yeah, lets call it that.
Oops. Missed yours, ErinF. I think I like yours even better.
Shooting at posters is still legal as of now so I believe we would only have to deal with the Obama Youth Corps.
Target practicing at the head of the President? Legal? Maybe. But I’d bet the Secret Service would like to at least get to know you a bit better, you know…just a friendly chat.
Everytime we talk about the upcoming inauguration, and the masses of obamanity that is descending on DC, I think of Andrew Jackson’s inauguration that had people climbing in and out of the Whitehouse windows. Totally trashed the place.
Great party (I hear).
Abe Lincoln never had such a poster!
Yes Chap…for Obama’s SS forces thats probably true if the poster is of him and not GWB
“Be the ball!”

That one is kind of busy. I like this one better.

No thanks but I would pay it to see your birth certificate.
I’ll take it chap. I have to take the red out and replace it with black so he is half black and half white before I can hug it every day though. I can’t kiss it every day though. The poster does not go down to his posterior – sorry.
I am getting a little tired, and just a little more then creeped out, by that image of Obama.
Here is more hero worshipping revolving around that image.
Question of the day: Will the Iranians who burned pictures of Obama receive the same love from the media as the Iraqi who threw a shoe at Bush?
This isn’t schlock, it’s stimulus.
I wonder if during rush week I can convince the local chapter of the campus repubs to have fundraiser by throwing a shoe at a photo of the obamamessiah or his logo…
Lets see .50 cents for 3 right sided shoes or a buck ($1) for 3 left sided shoes.
I’ll bet they could raise some serious cabbage with that!

Death of a President
An excerpt:
So, do not whine about someone wanting to shoot at a poster – no matter how tasteless.
Che, Obama. Obama, Che.
When will the begging for money ever end? And what happened to all the $$$$ he raised during the campaign?
Oh I wasn’t whining. I just thought it would be a bad idea if you didn’t want any ahem…extra scrutiny.
And, to my point, I believe the Secret Service did request an advanced copy of that movie and looked into it.
I’ll bet his wife kept her maiden name.
Or life partner….whatever.
Speaking of schlock, may I suggest some music to be played at Hope-a-Dope’s coronation?
Here are the lyrics:
Who can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it in dew?
Cover it in chocolate
And a miracle or two?
The candyman!
The candyman can!
The candyman can, cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.
Who can take a rainbow,
Wrap it is a sigh?
Soak it in the sun
And make a strawberry lemon pie?
The candyman!
The candyman can!
The candyman can, cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.
The candyman makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious.
Talk about your childhood wishes –
You can even eat the dishes!
Who can take tomorrow,
Dip it in a dream?
Separate the sorrow
And collect up all the cream?
The candyman!
The candyman can!
The candyman can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.
And the world tastes good cause the candyman thinks it should…
Maybe we could replace the Star Spangled Banner with this for the next four years?
” Be the change ” Snort
Indeed.
As a general rule: I don’t believe in Faireys
Wow! Only $15 more for sloppy seconds? Sign me up!

*out*
Don’t knock QVC, they are simply capitalizing on this historic election as much as possible before it becomes a historic failure. However opportunistic they may be, they represent what is great about capitalism. After the inauguration, they’ll go back to selling magical deodarant because BO is gauranteed to stink!
Niether did I untill I actualy met a gay person
This guy has sold more memorobilia and useless trinkets than Elvis and the Beatles!
The Peddler in Chief.
right click and save as then print it off…save the $$$…it’s pretty much worthless anyway…no other president elect or president has had this much worthless garbage produced for sale….he is not a rock star, he is not the messiah, he is not moses and will not lead us anywhere but further into debt as a nation and possible end our nation as we know or knew it….
ooops possibly
That commie art still bothers me.
This is just creepy and weird. All these people fawning over All-Things-Obama! Apparently the Che factor is okay with all of them. (Of course, I may give them too much credit. I’m pretty sure if you asked those who purchase this garbage a question about Che, the most you would get is a blank stare…)
God, what a pompous ass. 20 bucks for a fricking poster? What does he need all this extra capital for anyway? Didn’t he already receive enough from questionable (and unknown) campaign contributors??
I see this guy’s face every day, it never fails. If I don’t watch TV, or use the internet, some stupid teenager is wearing a Guevara-esque Obama t-shirt. Supermarket? Commissary? Magazine racks. I go to check my mailbox…POW! His smug face is on the cover of one of my mother’s magazines plastered with his vapid quotes used in the campaign. I’m getting REALLY tired of this.
chap, I’ll take the extra one, we can burn ‘em together.
” Be the change ”
I take that to mean community service. How do you folks read it?
We will see how Ebay determines it’s true worth soon enough.
I take it to be empty sloganeering. If it is open to interpretation, then my being the change could be diametrically opposed to your being the change.
I can just seen the Obamanuts tacking it to their ceilings so they can go to sleep with visions of The One dancing through their heads.
I’ll kill my dentist if he tries that at his office.
Next…A commemorative patch to be worn on brown-shirts.
By plucky “volunteers”
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.
Do you think the SS will be at every movie theater taking names of the people who will, undoubtedly, cheer when Bush is killed or are they going to be too busy chasing down people who generally talk about the possibility of an Obama assassination?
I know. It’s getting harder and harder to shake the Germany, 1933 vibe.
It certainly seems an obvious parallel for those of us who remember history.
Off-Topic, Fox news reports, An Iranian ship filled with ” humanitarian ” aid stopped off the coast of Gaza.
Probably, Obama posters…

Next up, K-Tel presents
“Obama’s Greatest Hits”!
Featuring the hits “Errr…” and “Ahhh…”
and the ever popular “Uummm…”.
But Elvis has Love Me Tender hand lotion and Elvis toe nail clippers… shouldn’t be long until Obama has those for sale, too.
I’m waiting for the cd. Janet Jackson did ” Rhythm Nation ” Now, we have;
Obama Nation.
Ron Popeil’s latest invention:
The Pocket Obama.
Keep the One with you all the time…
Don’t forget the kiddies who will be singing their song “Dear Obama” at the inauguration. They are from Atlanta.
Who has their BHO coin set?!?!
No self-respecting Obama worshiper’s collection would be complete without it:
shirt
pin
bumper sticker
poster
coin set
Did I miss anything?
Oh yeah…Obama’s Going to Change the World CD!!!
It slices,
It dices,
It makes Jullienne Fries!
BUT WAIT! THAT’S NOT ALL!
Call now and you also get this set of
Ginsu-bama knives!
I spoke too soon…

I kinda like the Inaugural Sharpshooter patch though…Don’t ask me why…
Pardon me if I don’t rush my order in for that poster…
Who is really shocked? That street hustling jive master is living by his traditional Chicago/Big City ways:
Money talks, Bull **** Walks. Being smarter than Blago, but less hair, he probably does not deal on the phone and has his place swept for bugs.
I actually got the Pocket Obama-it comes with a bottle of Maalox.
I’m waiting for the newly trained all-powerful community organizers to knock on my door.
He is a hustler!
Get used to it — “It’s only money”
Here’s a close-up of the patch.

A special gift for the Police or EMT…
Great. D.C. is going to pay through the nose for this inauguration and PEBO is making money off it. Doesn’t seem quite right.
If I wanted a Che-esque poster I’d buy one…
Get your Commemorative Rubber Constitution!
Pull it, stretch it, turn it inside out!
Make it say anything you want!
(Penumbras and Emanations sold separately)
They will love freezing, standing in line for everything. Gives ‘em a taste of socialized medicine, in advance.
Besides, the poster reminds me of Mao, as much as anything. Bring on the cultural revolution comrades…
sarc/off for now…
The Little Black Book of PC Thought.
Commie-chic!
As a good capitalist, I think I’ll start an “Obama Poster of the Month Club”! I could branch out into “Candid Shots on the Beach Club” and DVDs with “His Every Appearance on Talk Shows – Volume I: 2004-2006″, “Volume II 2007-2008″, and Quarterly releases for 2009-20016. Drooling bib or cloth with his likeness emblazoned within a golden aura are available for an additional $25 each or 2 for $55. (The extra $5 will buy carbon offsets.)
Operators will be standing by…
Amen, mom….Oh, wait; religion is the opiate of the masses…
We are carbon-based life-forms…I have a suggestion on some off-sets.

aka – New Black Panthers?
Hopefully not, sharpshooters…See above. Only $8.95 for an Inaugural Sharpshooter patch…nuff said?

We coerce people to ” volunteer ” just to graduate from high school.
Here in Phoenix, for the day of service, the 19th. We have a massage parlor giving 90 minute full-body massages…What a public service.
