NBC: “YES WE DID”

Last night on Hannity, I reminded folks about how the New York Times made millions selling pro-Obama merchandise. Many other MSM outlets have profited from sales of Obama swag and propaganda.
Now, check this out from Joe Luppino-Esposito at the Examiner:
Barack Obama’s campaign slogan “Yes we can!” became “Yes we did!” on November 4, 2008, thrilling his supporters nationwide.
Evidently, NBC also was quite pleased with the win, and the news network is still celebrating.
NBC is selling “YES WE DID” t-shirts online as well as at its Manhattan company store in Rockefeller Center.
“We,” NBC? Do you have a mouse in your pocket or are you just admitting how deep you’re in the tank for Obama?
Unlike the DVD NBC hawked back in November as “commemorative” to celebrate Obama’s “victorious history-making win,” the t-shirt is actually claiming success.
The store also features Barack and Michelle magnets, fit in between “Saved by the Bell,” “Superstar” and “The Tonight Show” memorabilia.
Ideologically invested. Financially invested. In the tank.

But do they have autographed Knee Pads?
That’ll be their “Mission Accomplished!” albatross, you wait and see!
What’s an nbc? Nuclear, biological contanimate?
This is way my TV is never…and I do mean never, tuned into the three MSM networks.
I want one that says “Oh no you di’int!”
Well, I know where I will buy all my Christmas gifts. By Dec. 25, the networks and the NYT may have renamed the holiday Obama-mas. After all, Christmas is now politically incorrect.
Barack and Michelle magnets? Oh Lord these people are totally off the edge. I hope Barack and Michelle magnets don’t cut into the collector value of my “Limited Edition Special Commemorative Plates” of Hussein and BitterMoma Bama and the matching pillows!
Does anyone admit to voting for Carter?
Wait a few years. You won’t be able to find a single person who will admit that they voted for this nitwit (Odufus).
Now that the Obama Joker poster is out-selling all the pro-Obama merchanidise, will NCB cash in?
Yes, the Media definitely was, and continues to be, part of “Team Obama”.

Would be great to rub that in if/when (oh, please God) health ins. reform, cap n tax and union ballot fail.
My favorite was on display during the DNC convention – A Black Man Is Running, And Not From The Police ! This was among other pro-Sotoero items.
Giving the KKK some competition in the racial sterotyping contest.
You mean none of you bought the “Bush is my President”, and “Bush Won” t-shirts, bumper stickers and refrigerator magnets as well as the Laura Bush commemorative plates that NBC was selling for the last 8 years? Heck, Mathews was hawking them nightly. How could any of you have missed out? The way you all are sounding, you would think that NBC had lost any and all objectivity and were totally in the tank for Der Führer.
I will not have the ‘likeness’ of bho or mo in my house. Not gonna watch nbc either.

The thing that counts most is their ratings. They are in the toilet and the flusher has been pushed.
I’ll just celebrate with my chiaobama.
I was vacationing in NYC last week and intentionally avoided Rockefeller Center and NBC for this very reason. I didn’t want to give anyone reason to believe that I was one of their fans.
I don’t think they have a choice. They are way too far gone to try and pretend otherwise now.
How dare they make money off a public figure!
See? I’m not the only one who uses this phrase.
N-nuthin’
B-but
C-crap
Marginalized network selling trivial trinkets?
Sounds about right for the MSM these days.
When NBC starts selling, “WE’RE GOING DOWN!” paraphernalia, then I’ll go visit their “store.”
Until then, I’ll spend my present moments elsewhere.
Anyone want to preorder for November 7, 2012. It is the same T-shirt with the following underneath:
ADIOS
The last time I saw NBC was during the ’08 Olympiad. I certainly never bothered with their endless lineup of “reality” programming.
This is one of the best post I have read in a long time. Savior it my subjects:)
http://www.goingjohngalt.org/blog/2009/08/03/sovereign-default/
$25 for that Union issue toilet tissue t-shirt? Its sold out? NBC/MSNBC staff must have cashed their paychecks to clean out inventory. That includes the employee 95% discount.
To the military NBC =
Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Warfare …
Naturalized Born Citizen, huh. Kinda like the millions of anchor babies born across this country. And to think that all of their illegal alien parents are going to counted in the census next year. For what purpose?
I think they were all bought up by Soros & sent to Kenya for the street urchins to wear.
That’s the problem – with the presently highest-rated of the network nightly newscasts, it reflects poorly on NBC’s credibility (or what’s left of it) for them to “make money off a public figure” who’s often the object of their news division’s reporting.
It’s unseemly, ethically questionable, and wreaks of advocacy -
Major recent headlines: Economy improving, Taliban leader killed, Karl Rove behind US Attorney firings, …
MM huff’n'puff: NBC selling tee shirts.
Sources please or do you just make this stuff up and why would you come to a conservative blog and post just bold face lies? You truly are the village idiot.
Ah yes, the Bush years. Remember them well.
They wonder why their ratings stink.
Today’s actual headlines:
Retail Sales Drop, Jobless Claims Rise.
lgm must be the advisor to Obama that told him that the AARP supports his plan.
The downfall of the arrogant is their arrogance.
Sun Tzu — If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
Quoting Sun Tzu! You and I are of similar mindset.
Here you go…
Are they selling Chris Matthews-edition pants, so everyone can get that tingle feeling?
I’m sure this is nothing and is no reason to think they might be biased.
/sarc
/trolls
This would be my pick:
Obama on a shirt, with the caption below,
“I accidentally the whole ecomony”
Notice the flag backdrop image; focus on the RED stripes. No blue or stars at all. Old (communist) habits die hard.
LGM gets his headlines from the MSM (all liberal news ALN). No wonder he/she is clueless about reality. By the way, why should he/she care about the Taliban since Obambi declared we are no longer concerned about former President Bush’s Long War on Terror.
Yes they did….
*balloon the deficit to 2 trillion dollars
*pass the biggest pork fest in human history, under the lie of stimulus
*create 9-10% unemployment, and growing
*nationalize banks and the car industry
*demonize Americans who dissent from policy
*put America on track to be a socialist country
*apologize for America here and on foreign soil
*steal money from 2 generations of future Americans
*create the most corrupot adminstration in US history.
Yes, they did. And we better not forget in the 2010 elections.
lgm; you need to check out todays unemployment data, UP, foreclosures WAY UP, sales in retailers stores, DISMALL, and more houses in foreclosure in california than were sold in the entire u.s. last month. taliban leader MAYBE killed by those evil predator drones your party wants to cancel in the war your party wants to call off. and karl rove behind the firings of the attorneys, PULEASE, they serve at the presidents pleasure, rove was the presidents advisor. he advised against these attorneys as they apply the law as all liberals apply the law, if a left wing mob riots, it’s ignored, if a right wing group speaks loudly at a townhall meeting with their congresscritter, it’s a riot. the president fired them you moron. he doesn’t have to have a reason. he didn’t like the way they combed their hair. he didn’t like the way they tied their tie. he didn’t like the way they wouldn’t prosecute acorn criminals. so now the obama justice department is going to waste more money on this crap. i hope you are as interested in public corruption proceedings in 2010 when the new republican house majority votes to impeach obama and holder for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Hey, dufus. As usual, your reading comprehension is non-existent. The point is… well, I’ll let you figure it out with your shining mathematical genius mind.
to JeffC:
I think everyone misunderstood Chris Mathews. I think th said he got a tinkle down his leg when he thought about Obama – not tingle.
make that “I think that he said…”
Wake up you moronic fool, before you drown in dem kool aid:

Yeah thanks for giving us the biggest dillweed of all time.
Odopey sucks.
Sounds to me like a confession.
lgm:
I used to wish that you would just go away. But in retrospect I’m glad you post here because it reminds everyone of how completely brain dead liberal lemmings are, and how devoid of reason and intellect liberal “logic” (an oxymoron if I ever heard one) is.
About the economy, I just went to Yahoo finance. The headlines were
• Recession ends in France and Germany
• Stocks rise modestly after jobs, retail data
• Wal-Mart 2Q profit beats forecast but sales fall
• Retail sales dip unexpectedly, jobless claims rise
• Inventories fall for 10th straight month in June
• Ford to boost production of Focus, Escape in 3Q
• Foreclosures rise 7 percent in July from June
This news is more positive than negative.
You have a strange idea of what’s positive. I always knew Democrats thrived on bad news, but this is ridiculous.
OTOH, I’d call that Rasmussen tracking poll pretty good news – it means more and more people are catching on to these charlatans.
lgm said:
“The four-week average of initial claims, which smooths out fluctuations, rose by 8,500 to 565,000. That reverses six straight weeks of decline.”
“The Commerce Department said Thursday that retail sales fell 0.1 percent last month. Economists had expected a gain of 0.7 percent.”
Are you just plain stupid or do even read the crap you copy from TPM or Huffy Puffy?
LOL
cretin.
We don’t live in Germany or France.
Modestly is small and not permanent. Jobs and retail data are p*** poor.
So what?
Sales down, unemployment up is not good. In fact it is the opposite of good.
People are buying less to sit on the shelves.
What, not GM?
7 percent rise in foreclosures not a positive economic indicator.
I don’t see how.
As an individual investor, the best I’m going to say about the economy is that the news is mixed. The market’s up for now, but that isn’t always reassuring. Growth projected today could also turn sharply around. Let’s see how things are in another 6 to 12 months.
The important point to be made isi that a major network has profited from a major figure about whom it has reported. MM makes a good point: should a major network profit from Obama? Or any president?
And from the perspective of many, if not most objective observers, they did more than cover him; they actually appear to have supported him.
Yes LGM, there is other news out there, but his is newsworthy, IMHO. (and it is her blog, after all)
lgm – The website is called “MichelleMalkin.com” not “Yahoonewsreviewed.com” or “lgm.com” – I am certain that she can post whatever the he$$ she wants to post with or without your bloody approval.
If you don’t approve – turn the channel.
/LGM mode on
GREAT NEWS!!! The economy is falling apart just a little slower, in some areas!!!
All other areas speed up the destruction of the economy but hey the dow rose by 20!!!!
LGM mode off/
lgm is a perfect example that you can’t reason with the unreasonable.
Self-Correction (sor of): Yes major networks profit from whom they cover all the time. Through advertising sold to air during coverage.
What NBC did was cover and support Obama, then profit through the marketing of Obama materials, not news coverage ad sales. This kind of stinks, to me.
This just in! Michael Jackson is still dead!
To quote Dennis Green:
“They are who we thought they were!”
Hey folks guess what?
Obama has black skin!!
GET OVER IT – I know, your mama’s are total bigots and told you all black people are evil – and you know it’s not true.
So grow up already and get back to restoring America.
Thanks
I just went to WSJ.com and they say “Wal-Mart Misses Sales Forecast”
as well as “Retail Sales Fell in July”
and – “German and French economies both grew 0.3% …helping ease the contraction of the wider euro-zone GDP, which shrunk by 0.1%.”
how about – “Housing: Foreclosure Filings Are Up 7%”
and – “Cap-and-Trade Creators Doubt Plan
Economists behind the original concept of cap-and-trade question the system’s large-scale usefulness, and recommend taxes instead.”
maybe – “Fed Tells CIT to Shore Up Finances ”
or – “Tiny Loans Spur Credit Bubble in a Slum
A bubble is brewing in “microfinance,” the business of making the world’s tiniest loans.”
“Detroit’s Public School Woes Get Worse”
Hey, lgm, if the economy is turning around, then can we cancel the remain 87% of the Spendulus? Obviously, if the economy doesn’t need it, we should cancel it, right?
This post is a manifestation that you have nothing of substance that you can bring to the table in terms of what is in the healthcare bill.
Guess what? You have just qualified to be a Democrat Representative, U.S. Senator, and even the President of the United States.
Because that is all they have as well.
This coming from someone with the maturity of a 12 year old.
No he doesn’t. He is multi-racial.
lol..good one…!
Yep and even so I would not label the skin color of black people as black skin. Mine is more golden brown than black. You know, since we’re being so literal.
How funny is that?
30 pcs of silver showed up – so what’s it like being married to a man who hates Obama because his skin is black?
Ilovemycountry said: I hate white people. I am not smart because my mother is also my sister and my daddy is my brother.
Ilovemycountry, did you ever find the replacement air pump for your girlfriend?
Here’s the link to write a “review” of the shirt http://www.nbcuniversalstore.com/detail.php?p=83258&view=review
We are trying to restore America, dingaling. It’s morons (take that how you want to) that are getting in the way.
I only answer you this way due to the absolutely asinine nature of your typical posts. Make a decent comment based on some kind of logic and you might get reasoned debate.
Of course, that requires the ability to reason…..

Good eye, b-cat!
I didn’t catch that at first glance, but you are completely right!
Obama was born a Red Diaper Baby,
and he’s never been anything other than a Marxist.
Why do you all respond to lgm and ilmc? they are obviously not trying to be taken seriously. They waste your resources. Be done with them.
Major O:
I am just using ilmc to try out new insults.
Does anyone else think that lgm is a plant just to get things exciting at this site. Why would a liberal waste so much time writing to people who totally disagree with him/her?

You know who made their vote based on the skin color of the candidate?
And Obama is not “restoring” America, he’s destroying it.
Let’s not forget General Electric owns NBC…
Cool! Does having “black skin” make me impervious to criticism as well?? Right on!
And I must have DOUBLE the power since I’m not “half black” as the president!
So what happens when black folks square off on opposing viewpoints? Does the collision of diametrically opposed opinions create some kind of time space anomaly? Dare I say it…a black hole?
Sorry. Doesn’t apply to black Republicans or conservatives. Clarence Thomas proved that.
Socky said (#71):
Actually, there discussions about doing just that, particularly with respect to TARP bailouts.
Ilovemycountry said: something stupid. Again.
just what part of any of those headlines do you consider to be more positive than negative, you sycophantic putz?
Here we have an example of someone who has been given a crap sandwich and told by the Obama Administration that it is Ambrosia, and eats every last bite, licks his fingers and asks for seconds.
Please note, that NO ONE here has said ANYTHING about Obama’s race or color of skin EXCEPT the Liberal troll. It is quite obvious the projection this moron has, since the regs. Have all commented on substantive things and all the troll can do is dishonestly inject race into this discussion. It, the troll, demonstrates it’s own deep seeded self-loathing and racism, for it assumes…quite wrongly…that everyone who posts here and who is Conservative is White.
Yes, because that is all they have to argue and debate woth. They cannot logically respond or defend what Obama and the Dems are doing, so they must bring race into it, demonstrating that it is they who see color…and race…not the Conservatives.
In March of last year, when the story broke about the “Rev.” Jeremiah
“G-d D-mn America” Wright, Obama decicded the best way to distract from this anti-American behavior was to claim this was all about racism.
I analyzed what others called “an important speech on race”,
and saw what his plans were…
I think I’m going to make a shirt that says:
“Yes, you did. Millions wish you hadn’t”
My anti-SEIU shirts are selling ok but not as well as I thought they might.

So does this mean that as Obama fails that NBC will fail??? we can only hope!
I have the perfect item for the NBC/Obama store.
