Subscribe to RSSThe Obama reelection campaign is raising money off of the controversy surrounding President Obama’s birth certificate.
The Obama reelection campaign is selling a T-shirt (above) to anyone who donates at least $25.
With a donation of at least $25 to the Obama campaign, donors can get a long-form birth certificate T-shirt.
The “limited edition” T-shirt on the front proclaims, “Made in America” beneath a picture of the president. On the back, is a picture of the long-form birth certificate.
The president released his long-form birth certificate on April 27, trying to put an end to the conspiracy theory that he was not born in the United States. (For the record, again, the president was born in Hawaii.) Obama trumpeted the release of the birth certificate in a video that accompanied is stand-up routine at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
In 2008, the Obama campaign often used merchandise as a way to raise money/build its donor base. After all, anyone who donates $25 for this shirt is a potential donor who can give more money during the election cycle.

I'd wear this not necessarily because I support Obama in the upcoming race (yes, I said that FULLY aware of the hypocrisy in paying $25 for the damn thing) but because, on general mischevious principle, I'm curious to know just how many people I can piss off sporting this at the local Galleria.
Just stay off the rural highways. ;-)
Terror on Highway 59, Anna. Terror on Highway 59. :|

Looks like MSDNC doesn't want any competition with their fundraising efforts for Barry. It sure seems to me that this is free fundraising advertising on behalf of a Presidential candidate. Isn't it illegal to give corporate gifts to political campaigns??
Aw, poor Joe...maybe your post got flagged as advertising.
Joe in Albany
You mean like when First Read links articles to clips from Republican campaign ads? They do it because it's news. Big deal. Now that the Obama birth certificate conspiracy theory has died, some people are really searching hard for a new one to give their lives meaning.
I liked the Oba-Mao T-shirts from Obamas China trip better, but those are hard to get since B.O.'s handlers had the producers shut down.
Two words for you, Houston: Pod people. Pod people.
They do it because it's news.

The Barry campaign selling tacky T-shirts is "news"??
Really??
No wonder this country is in such awful shape.
As I said in my deleted post: My personal favorite T-shirt from MSDNC's competition is "99% of Democrats give the rest a bad name"
Switch channels, dickweed.
Joe, much as I might agree with your sentiment that this article barely qualifies as news, expressing mock-appallment at that fact in our shiny, nickel-plated modern era is akin to observing that garbage smells.
Why did they delete you, your honor? Don't tell me you said something naughty to me in reply to my comment. Otherwise, I don't get it.
Or was it just because of your link?
Sigh. I preferred my own fantasy better. ;-)
anna banana how could it be a reply to you when it was the first comment posted here? provide us with the details on your fantasy please!
I had a feeling that Obama was going to hold his long birth certificate copy and release it for this purpose (his campaign). I always wondered why Obama never did the simple thing and release a copy of his long form back in 2008. Now we know why he held back. He did it on purpose.
Everyone can get their own long copy from the state. I've said it all along.
Obama is slick, like a typical politician.
Why did they delete you, your honor? Don't tell me you said something naughty to me in reply to my comment.
__________________________________________
AM: You're the one that likes to talk dirty, not me. Did you check the site? There are some pretty funny T-shirts there.
MSDNC couldn't handle the competition, so they silenced it.
I bought one, I used monopoly money to buy it.
My reply disappeared, too, during the great purge. Sigh.
Oh, that's right, I forgot. But a girl can dream, can't she?
Alas, no. I thought it might be there a while, so I figured I could come back and look.
I have an idea. Post it again, so it can get deleted again. I get a kick out of that stuff. ;-)
Hey, if I get a healcare exemption along with the shirt, I will send in my monopoly money too. I wonder where they will be made, China? I can see those union jerks out parading around for Barry now, wearing their Chinese made shirts.
One and done Barry, one and done.
AM: just google "those shirts". I look forward to you saying which one is your favorite.
she only wears fish net style shirts
safecracker - i dont know about one and done, I sorta thought that might be the case a little while back. but then, the republicans are failing to present anyone who is (apparently) less of a joke than Obama.
Mitt Romney is your best shot, and the republicans are going to reject him...now thats funny.
Joe in Albany:
If Republicans running tacky attack ads is news, yes. Or are you invoking the traditional wingnut double standard to argue your case?
LoL Joe ~ For substance, I'd have to go with the gun ads. They are TERRIBLE. I can't believe YOU approve of those.
For snark, I'll pick the vodka ad and your choice about the name. The slogan about Clinton's pants is pretty good, too.
For plain tastelessness, I'll go with the fist and the lightbulb.
For ad placement, RCReagan. RC may about to lose some customers, and I hope they get rung up for illegal campaign donations. Then again, are ANY campaign contributions illegal anymore?
That's so sad, though. After all, what WILL I drink with my moonpies?
Good for Obama, for all the doubters you just gave him a way to make money. hip hip horay
I really don't know when the Republicans are going to catch on that Obama has been giving them kisses and killing them softly from Day 1. Look at the GOP and the state of the Teabagger Party with all of its crazy characters and one can only come to the conclusion that Obama has them all shook up. Basically everything the Republicans are throwing his way, either he's dodging it, he's knocking it out of the park, or he's throwing that @!$%# right back at 'em and hitting them in the face with it. Unbelievable!!!!!
Joe, where is your outrage about FOX promoting AstroTurf protests for Teabaggers, with speakers like Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, etc. -- employees of their network? Actually, what Republican isn't on their staff?
Now the False Prophet Glenn Beck is promoting an End of Times Christian Crusade to Israel--WTF? That is idiotic, and where is the condemnation about this? Are there any conservatives who aren't complete douche-bags?
Your real anger is how the GOP/TPhas become the gift that keeps on giving for Democrat victories. Another brilliant campaign idea from the Obama camp -- Obama/Biden 2012!
Joe,
Are you upset that NewsMax is using the Navy SEALS to pimp their fishwrap? Order a subscription and they'll give you a free hat!
Obama found his calling, tea shirt salesman.
Looks like the kind of shirt you can buy at a carnival being hawked by the carnival callers.
Jessica, please don't tell me whom I should vote for. There are several candidates in the mix, but not all have entered as yet. Perhaps you may even find one that is acceptable to you, or are you a confirmed Obama-holic?
One of the great things we still have in this country, is our ability to vote our choice without any BS from outsiders like MSNBC, or Feisty the Troglodyte, or perhaps Bev, the self-professed racist from Chicago.
If I listened to any of them, I shouldn't vote for the election is in the bag for Obama. Ups, maybe it is, he's part of the chicago political machine, along with his purported mentor, George Sorros.
I will be getting one. Love it , great thing to turn something so negative to his benefits.
GOOD for OBAMA
Perfect gift for my relatives who just wouldn't let the birther thing go. Any wonder I don't live near them?
So you people willingly accept that the long form existed while the many "truths" raged on that the short form was the only BC, there was only a scribble between line of registered entries and people swore the certification was the only real record. That is three completely different truths. There are more. Nothing will bring to light that it is not a photo copy, but an enhanced pasted up construct with an editing time stamp in the binary, out of numerical alignment, has no shred of evidence that it is stamped with any official seal as well as an evidently legal term that is out of line with the times. Two and a half years as well as millions of dollars to badly hide the whole discrepancy. Make a video in High Definition, open the book and capture the view, turn the page, America wants irrefutable proof, not mysterious data that can be literally picked apart. What was he hiding for two and a half years?
Nobody will forget Obama, but your POTUS will always have the word LIAR attached to him. What happens when the point and blame thrills die down and you only get to read the history books that people indifferent to your insults and condemnation write?
Time magazine recently raised the debate again. Some media will always demand answers to the mystery. But when America refuses to take this to task, I can only shake my head and wonder what real reasons are letting Obama keep his seat? You people having such a good time taunting your so called nuts, might want to actually open your eyes instead of blindly fling feces. After all, with all the above questions to his honesty and legitimacy, where is his promise for transparency gone to?
Media that drums up votes for their favorites? Obama supporters are doing the same thing using his ability to avoid questions. Obama promised transparency. When will he keep his promises?
I do like asking the questions that people are afraid to answer.
Brilliant, excellent campaign marketing, anybody know Trump's shirt size we should send him one.
You'll have to get XXXXXLarge to get it over his head.
Trump can't wear anything that might mess up his hair when he put it on.
What size is a stuffed shirt?
Now, those are just plain FUNNY!!!
How do tell if his hair is messed up?
O.K., everybody can stop now. No way you can top Forrest's last one.
LoL There should be a prize, don't you think? Any ideas?
How about a "Donald Trumpadour" hairstyle fright wig.
Why not? I wear mine every day. ;-)
When you wear the wig do they call you "The Anna".
how about a free lap dance?
can I order a shirt made out of trumps hair?
or is that considered cruelty to animals? I dont want to piss off PETA.
Trump won't wear it unless it says "Made In China" like his line of clothing...
Even PETA would consider it an act of mercy.
I've always been THE Anna. Accept no substitutes. ;-0
You go girl!
Stop my side is hurting! Please....back to the shirt.No more trumped up stories ......I got my first grass roots start in the mail....got a bigger tax return in the mail since thanks to the bush era, I had a lot of losses to claim...Thanks Obama....you will get your share....I'm too afraid to wear the shirt in my neighborhood.....but I could wear it to Democratic Meetings...should get a laugh
Insulting jokes will not make Obama honest, or a reelected president or you informed Americans. Excuses for a few questions are good enough? Have you noticed that you get no response to your crude bashing? Take this as a good heart tying to dshow you the error of your ways. I know better than to teach people that refuse to learn.
Earnest, you are right that you can't teach someone to have a sense of humor. It is very humorous that the whole birther issue is going to add money to Obama's re-election campaign. You don't even have to like Obama to find it funny that he is basically giving all the birthers the finger by making tee-shirts with his face and the birth certificate on the front and back. And this money going toward his campaign, just brilliant.
Another teabagger idea that went wrong, for them!!!!!
LOL Better get out the beachcombing tools Obamaphiles, His popularity rating just got buried. I wonder if the makers of those Tshirts will be getting a tax break? See you at the next Obama Bull$||it session. When he claims hess an American at all now that hes running foreign BORDERS!!!!!!!
Irony in humor, huh Sam4ever? I can see Obama is brilliant in just about everything he does, even how he suckers egotists into goading people. Backing his play now?
"His popularity rating just got buried"
I don't know what polls you're looking at, but his overall approval rate is 52%, and as high as 60% in some polls. See here: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html
What is America saying about Obama TODAY???????? I am listening to a story about Obama being bashed by Free Blacks. That is not my term. So much for old news.
"old news"???? Dated 5/19.... Whatever....
Today rightclicking says 5/20, but nothing has a date of the posting. Try again. Gimmeeeeeee
Your last post makes absolutely no sense.
Where on the page you cited did it say 5/19 was the date it was gathered? Last chance to prove you have a brain scarecrow.
Obviously you didn't look at the link as the ending date of the poll average and the last two polls was 5/19, right there in black and white.
And what's with the name calling?
Did you notice the little gap? They could have been days to weeks old. You tell me about name calling. I thought I was pretty thorough. No matter, Obama is being told His opinions are not worth listening to by people more influential that you. Have a great life.
Count me in.... Will add to my assorted collection from '08.
Loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Already have mine! ;o)
My favorite from 08 is 'Got Hope'?
Even though it's a bit tattered, I still wear it proudly!
AHHH the memories!
Hey....maybe they can sell some of those really tasteful t-shirts they made up for the Arizona shooting tragedy.....those were great too!
Hey Feisty,
...and I still have and wear my "This one is voting for that one" t-shirt!
..that one was created because John McGrumpy pointed at candidate Obama and used the phrase!
Well, hey! I know what I'm getting my sweetie, JAS1 for Christmas this year!
I just knew you would!
LMAO!
I just got my "Obama got Osama" t-shirt last week and wore it to the mall. It got a lot of praise. I think I'll get this one too!
Sums up the administration...
Thanks for the info chilled! I didn't know where the phrase originated!
Make sure you get her the same size as Trump's...lol
there you go.....trump thinks he's the only one who knows how to make money. spanky and insult me, I'll get you guys one each for free.
Wow, you people are really @!$%#ing pathetic.
Keep your shirt Feisty Troglodyte, and purchase your new one. You may have an ebay future sale.....the shirt from the worst President on record.
safecracker,
Bush never sold that many shirts to have such a firesale. He did, however, run the country into the dirt and all we got was the lousy shirt off our back to clean up the mess.
Clara dear, when will you finally admit that George may not have been that bright, but he didn't run the nation into debt like Barry has during the 2.5+ years he's been in office.
And when will you finally admit that Barry's programs haven't saved jobs, gainned jobs, improved the economy, or in general been that productive for Americans? When will you admit that the runaway Progressive Democratic spending has ruined our economy?
It isn't all Bush dear.
Just clicked the donate button and my mug should be on it way. Love all this campaign stuff. I collect this stuff. My favorite is from the FDR era. It is a button that says" NO Man Is Good Three Times"
REPOST COURTESY OF THE COLLAPSE COWARDS!
Hey....maybe they can sell some of those really tasteful t-shirts they made up for the Arizona shooting tragedy.....those were great too!
safecracker,
Are you telling me we lost 650,000 jobs last month and the media in some Obama SWOON somehow failed to report it?
wow, I AM gullible. Bush spent money. Plenty of it. He just didn't budget for it. Basically, he tried to not tell you about it.
AND don't forget, he passed TWO stimulus bills himself. President Obama only passed one. Anything Bush could do Obama does better,...
Yes He CAN! (okay,...now I'm just humming the tune to piss you off). Mission Accomplished?
No he can't Miss Clara.......just go to the CBO website and pull up the deficit budget. Notice the Bush deficit, then look at the Obama deficit. Now who has the larger number? The Obama Red Line (negative position Miss Clara) far exceeds the Bush line.
And no Miss Clara, you didn't do anything to piss me off........continue the mission. Drive On!
"Obama can spend money better than Bush, Obama can vasilate more than Bush........Obama can double speak better than - why Chuckie Schumer or Nancy Pelosi" Humming right along with your original tune.

safecracker, you are delusional. Obama didn't put us in a recession, the economy is recovering, but you can't expect what Bush did in 8 years to be fixed in 2 1/2 years. Car dealerships, Banks etc. were all going down and Obama brought them back. Business' are thriving, I Know my is, so open your eyes and look around. If we still are not where we should be, that's Bush's fault, just in the month of april 244,000 jobs were created and every month keeps going higher, praise Obama.
No lu, car dealerships didn't close due to Bush, it was the Obama plan that closed many dealerships AFTER the unions benefited from the bailout. Now if the companies were to go Chapter 11, they would have submitted a reorganization plan to the bankruptcy judge overseeing the case. Probably the unions would not have survived as unions, but the workers would have jobs. And those dealers may have still been opened. But it was OBAMA and his Car Tsar that closed dealerships.
Same situation for the investment bankers. Now tell me lu, of those banks you talk about, how many were retail banks, how many were brokerage houses, and how many were investment banks? There is a difference. Had the larger retail banks not be bailed, other banking chains would have invested in the takeover.
Now let's move to jobs.......every libbie on this site critized Bush for not creating jobs....did Obama create jobs or was this market conditions? And of those 244K jobs, discount the McDonalds 50K, where were the remaining? Now that is a total of 244K jobs across the US or if you equate this to states, every state gained a total of 4,880. What an achievement.
Praise Obama, lu, you are delusional. go get in line for your Savior's shirt.
Feisty, how did you get it?
Send me a link
I'll e-mail it to you MJL-3...
Otherwise it would be considered advertising on the vine!
You can chose between a T-Shirt or a coffee mug (notice NO tea mugs)? lol for a $25.00 donation!
Check your e-mail! ;o)
thanks
Feisty, Just donated, it will be on it way,
I can't wait.
OBAMA 2012
safecracker,
You're a hoot. If something bad happens, it's Obama's fault, if something good happens it's market conditions? really?
You are completely crackin' me up. This is my second shirt of this season, thanks for the concern about my wardrobe.
PS. The word is vacilate. Just in case you care about your spelling. But why would you, you're a Republican, right? You don't need no stinkin' education. (am I allowed to point out that you seem to be the one with the double speak? or rather triple speak,...three posts for the price of one? I feel special, I guess.
One final parting shot, safecracker, you DO know what a deficit is right? I mean when Bush never put the wars and the Medicare D on the budget, you realize those won't be accounted in any DEFICIT, right? Please tell me you aren't THAT obtuse and blind? Maybe you are; but I can't save you now.
My shirt and mug is on they way........
barackobama.com
"Hey....maybe they can sell some of those really tasteful t-shirts they made up for the Arizona shooting tragedy.....those were great too!"
You do realize the University of Arizona printed those t-shirts, right? Even Fox reported that, so I don't see how you missed it.
hey Clara, I do have a problem with my mind racing faster than my hands. I do have to run spell check when my correspondence has to have meaning.
But it seems you need to use it too. The word is spelled vacillate.
Safecracker what was the cost of both wars during the Bush Administration? Remember it was kept off budget and the oil was suppose to pay for it, what was the cost of both Bush tax cuts? Remember Bush nor the Republican Congress paid for that, what was the cost of Medicare Part D? Remember Bush nor the Republican Congress budgeted for it, what was cost of the Iraq Embassy being built and maintain?
That was spending acquired during the Bush Administration and Republican Congress, what about the cost of TARP Bush signed or both of the Stimulus? Care to enlighten the rest of us and as for job loss prior to the Obama Administration this country was losing jobs at an average of 750,000 a month go look it up. And just the record their is a chart available for your review which shows jobs lost during the Bush Administration and the net gains of jobs during this current Adminstration. Again it is available for you to review.
Yep, we ALL do it, don't we? I guess there's egg on my face,...I just nudged someone else for the same pettiness, so I'll have to eat the crow.
Extra garlic, please.
OK GC,
I don't happen to know the exact number, so why don't you provide that? As well as your statement that oil was to repay the cost. Where did Bush state that? You can provide that also!
As for the Bush Tarp, not as costly as the various costs associated with the Obama administration Tarp, Stimulus programs. By the way Mr. GC, how many jobs were saved by Obama? Now, that's the number of jobs that was so boggled in the administration reporting by experts, that they had to admit they goofed. Just indicate the actual saved number for me.
When it does come time to researching information prior to your attacks, why not actually research and not continue passing on the information you receive from the far-left Sorros owned web sites?
Now how about the "Fraudulent Selective Service registration" T-shirt?
They have to silence what Obama can't face!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO @ the Obamaphiles!!!!!!!
How About the Tshirt,,,, " I went to Washington and all I got was the OBAMA SILENT TREATMENT!!!!!!"? On the back it can say "(and a slap on the face for asking)"
This is a great idea. Throw it right back in their faces. I love it!!!!
Goes along with the Obama Seal Doll, and your own teleprompter with a collection of Obama's bull sh_t speeches.
sucks to be losing so badly with nothing but incoherent whining left, doesn't it?
If they made an Obama Navy Seal doll, I could make it fight my George W. Bush Air Force Pilot non-poseable, resin-cast commemorative statuette.
Came complete with a certificate of authenticity that read "Mission Accomplished."
A stupid t-shirt won't get him re-elected. He is so non presidential. People are smarter than that.
But, did it have "Kung Fu Grip"?
Sorry, Da Noid, it was resin-cast. Like one of those Wolverine or Lady Morgana statues you'd see at the local Bedrock City store, only less cool.
If it's any consolation, the "Mission Accomplished" certificate WAS printed on a composite material made out of the shattered hopes and dreams of Goldwater conservatives everywhere.
Yes, but apparently only about 47 percent of them. And "smart" isn't the word I would apply.
And but don't forget, he won by a substantial margin BEFORE he produced his birth certificate, vanquished the boy champion put up by the right, squashed the cockroach Trump, and killed Osama bin Laden. All in all, a pretty DARN good two weeks. And it has had some effect on "smart" people, for sure.
I see Obama supporters are graphically challnged in that what was posted on teh white house website is an obvious forgery in that anyone who can operate Adobe Illustrator can atest to. Just how does a copy or scan have vectorized layers?...Here's news to you.....it can't. It is impossible.
remember....Seek and ye shall find
Iceman: your snow caps are melting. (try loosening the tin foil cap...)
Seek and ye shall find spellcheck.
Dang, the Iceman finally cometh, and look what happens. He collapses. So sad.
Don't tempt us to start looking at other documents, Iceman. Dick Cheney keeps some pretty juicy records about oil company meetings under one of HIS rocks.
It would be easy to make those shirts. If you open up the birth certificate in Adobe Illustrator it's already separated into layers.
Is the tee shirt all the hope and change we get from obama...hadnt been for Trump we wouldnt got the bc or the tee shirts.
No we got the hope that there won't be another Republican in the presidency to run this country into the ground for a good long while....now THERE'S change we can believe in.
We all knew "da Donald" would help to get Pres. Obama re-elected but even this BC thingie was never seen as a gift that keeps on giving even AFTER "da Donald" pulled a Sister Sarah on us....
Looks like the "Weeper of the House" John BooHoo-ner REALLY has something to cry about now that Pres. Obama WAS proven to be born in the US of A - And that doesn't even include the blowback for Ryan's "Path to PERDITION" plan is gettin'...Just wait till yuo see the blubbering and eye spigots opening up on that one...
I can't wait to see the TP Primary The Weeper and Cantor. LMAO
Hey, I voted for hope and change and all I got for it was this lousy t-shirt. But Obama gor UBL, so nothing else matters!!!!!
son.....The hope has been distroyed by people in congress like the bonehead and yesterday 3 traders of our own.......But that does not mean Obama isn't doing his job......you rep's already said he wasn't GOD so why do you expect that he can perform miricles......he can only perform in human time.
I get a chuckle out of folks wearing pro- Obama clothes. Lets me know whose on public assistance.
A total lie on your part. That is what you Republicans tea people do best.
I'm a Field Grade Officer in the US Army and an Obama supporter....trust me I'm not on public assistance
Thank you for your service, Rick.
Yes, Thank you for your service, Rick.
Hey I'm one of those people that would have my taxes raised and I am a dedicated Obama supporter. The alternative is just way to scary.
Rick,
Thank you for your service.....
It is indeed, the rest of us who are on the take from every one of our service members present and past. We depend on YOU!
Chilled-
Echo your sentiment. Thanks Rick... to you and all of our service men and women.
1% carrying the burden for the other 99% while the Republicans piss and moan about a birth certificate.
Come from a military family and know of your sacrifice.
Rick, I too thank you for your service.
As for me, I'm ex-military (Annapolis '79), now run a law firm that has employed many people over the years, and I have never been on any type of public assistance. Indeed, most of the people I have known who have received some type of public assistance have been blow-hard teapublican types. But we all know facts never get in the way of right-wing bloviating.
Rick, uh yes you are, serving in the armed forces is a form of public assistance, I know I serve in the Army as a 05.
Your the one Rick! Thanks!
All you gotta do is follow the posts to see who's on public assistance.
Rick,
If you are career military, officer or enlisted, you are a government worker. That means you are a big drain on our economy. You are a perfect example of what needs to be eliminated from our budget.
I would buy one if they could photoshop osoma holding it.
Let me guess....you're forced to buy one...unless you get a waiver!
lol
Alright, I laughed. I can admit that. Good one, Donna. XD
Very astute and great timing Donna M.
Question..Why aren't we talking about what's going on in Florida. From the Huffington Post.'
Despite the governor's campaign promise to focus on job creation, Florida Governor Rick Scott and the Florida legislature have focused their attention on other matters.
In the legislative session that ended Saturday, lawmakers passed no job creation bills for Scott to sign. But they did pass five bills restricting abortion rights and a state budget that cuts nearly 4,500 public sector jobs.
The five bills, which Scott is expected to sign, force women to undergo ultrasounds prior to having an abortion, prohibit private insurance coverage of abortion care in the new state health-insurance exchange, require young women to prove the medical necessity of their abortions before a judge in order to bypass parental permission, establish state-sanctioned license plates that funnel money to anti-choice "crisis pregnancy centers" and changes the state constitution to prohibit the government funding of abortion.
Florida Republicans filed a total of 18 anti-abortion bills during the session, the third most in the country, according to the ACLU, and twice the number of anti-choice laws introduced last year in the state, according to NARAL Pro-Choice America.
The focus on abortion rights has caused some lawmakers -- including some fellow Republicans -- to question how they got so far off-track.
Well once we take care of those pesky women and make sure they know they're not included in the constitution, anything's possible! (recision of voting rights? only leaving the house accompanied by a male relative? covered from head to toe? gee sounding familiar....)
Good job, Florida. @!$%#ing hell.
I understand a similar bill was introduced in the Texas legislature.
Nice to know that for modern Republicans, telling women what to do with their bodies and the continued invasion of family matters doesn't qualify as government interference in the privacy of citizens. I love willful hypocrisy; don't you?
Yes, Texas is playing the same game against women's rights.
I fail to understand how to legislate a 'medically unnecessary' procedure into law, while denying health care to the same group by defunding Planned Parenthood......
I think I mentioned either earlier today or yesterday one of my problems with the government at all levels is the complete lack of consistency in the application of the rules.
This strikes me as one of the poster-children for that issue.
OMG - the Republicans are always after the woman one way or another.
"including some fellow Republicans -- to question how they got so far off-track."
They got off track on purpose. They don't have a clue about how to create jobs, soooooo...
It sounds like a good idea to attack women's health!
Priceless.
i have no sympathy for the folks in florida or wisconsin......those people made their own bed by buying into the teagagger B.S. and now they got what they asked for........now they have seen the real colors (yellow) of the gaggers and they dont like it.....shoulda thought about that alot more than they did when they cast that vote instead of listening to the gagger B.S. propaganda. That group hasnt done one thing to create jobs , not one.....they spend their efforts trying to tell woman what to do with their bodies and blame the people who make $45 thousand a year teaching your kids to prepare for the future for the countries problems....if you buy into that garbage and cast your vote for that junk then you deserve just what you voted for..........then they make up B.S. like communism, socialism, marxism and whatever peabrain thought they can think of all the while pulling probably the biggest socialistic move ive ever seen in this country by taking away real american workers right to negotiate what it is they work for ............if this is your idea of real patriots i gotta say your in a large need of a head examination.......
It's classic "cherchez la femme."
Elise, SF
OMG - the Republicans are always after the woman one way or another.

That's right, Elise, that is when they aren't after the men (or boys or pages),...

But the wonder boy in the WH is doing such a great job of creating jobs. I'm talking about private sector jobs not government jobs to force people to fall inline with the propaganda ministry.
sonmanvb-
It is not the President's job to crate jobs but to create a climate where the private sector can create jobs.
The greedy a$$ bankers and other money grubbers have received ALL the perks they needed from the President and the Congress to do just that. However, they are sitting on trillions and whinning about waiting for "confidence" to be restored in the economy or some such bull$h-t!
Not another effing tax break for those greedy bast--ds!Let the Teapartiers create some jobs. Or John Boehner or Eric Cantor or Mitch McConnell or any other lying a$$ Republicans who ran around the country all of 2010 screaming about how they were going to create jobs. All the idiots who voted for them deserve to stay unemployed if they thought those fools had a clue!
"But the wonder boy in the WH is doing such a great job of creating jobs. I'm talking about private sector jobs not government jobs to force people to fall inline with the propaganda ministry."
Except private sector jobs have grown for 14 straight months. See here: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal/2011_05/april_shows_surprisingly_stron029411.php
And fyi, there are fewer government jobs. See here: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf
They have a crook on their hands in Florida. Next time maybe they'll pay attention to the types of people that they vote for.
A good reason not to include Florida in my vacation plans. You get what you vote for!
"How sweet it is!" Ralph Cramden
for someone who didn't want to/refused to release it - he's sure getting his mileage out of it now.. sorry but that is just. plain. dumb. wanna get some better mileage selling t-shirts how about: I voted for hope and change and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
I'm not sure you CAN think on your own (I doubt this was his idea). A fun one though...a great way of getting under the skin of the ditto heads.
Amen! If people were dumb enough to make this an 'issue' then I don't blame his campaign for getting some 'mileage' on it!
ya think !!!
dude , its only an issue cause the off the wall birthers made it one. theres not a second reason !!!!
Still not facing the fact that your POTUS can't answer the questions put to him,, oops, he won't even LISTEN to the questions. 2 and a half years so far. Times article a few days ago. His foreign policy now to make sure his RIGHT to EVEN BE POTUS is never talked about BY HIM, may blow up in his face. I have NEVER SEEN 35 pages of comments in 5 HOURS!!!!!!! ALLL HATING YOUR TIN GOD!!!!!!!! Did someone say IMPEACH OBAMA?????? Great Tshirt slogan, we should donate the proceeds to the National DEBT!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't surprise me. It fits with his arrogant, egotistical, smartass attitude.
So was the shirt made in America? Just curious.
Wow- What a marketing genius.
Capitalizing from his supporters without giving them anything of value. You gotta admire the cleverness of the Dems and this President.
Congratulations. You just summed up the previous administration.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! How's that for advertising Tom?
They get a tee-shirt Tom, it has value, wow, mystery solved Mystified.
yo Tom, were talking about BC t-shirts here not the dipstick with lipstick (Palin) she been doin that to you teagaggers sinse the election so whats your problem
You are right. There virtually is nothing to distinguishes this President (or political party) from the ones that came before him (them). They are all politicians first with a clear focus on how much money they will need for re-election and where to get it. I reiterate-what a marketing genius! I am not really mystified; I have as much undertanding as the typical American. I am perfectly willing to let things take there natural course through 2012. I am convinced that the best candidate will prevail - candidly I am finding the jockeying by the President and all potential candidates fascinating.
Tom the mystified
Well, except that Osama bin Laden is dead. That's something, no?
And the credit goes to ....... ? It will make very little difference to this country. He was an old man, murdered by the powerful U.S. because it was inconvenient to take him alive. I hope you do not expect me to praise Obama for his cowboy antics. He is my sitting President. I wish him success for as long as he holds the office. Nothing less; nothing more.
No he can't Miss Clara.......just go to the CBO website and pull up the deficit budget. Notice the Bush deficit, then look at the Obama deficit. Now who has the larger number? The Obama Red Line (negative position Miss Clara) far exceeds the Bush line.
And no Miss Clara, you didn't do anything to piss me off........continue the mission. Drive On!
"Obama can spend money better than Bush, Obama can vasilate more than Bush........Obama can double speak better than - why Chuckie Schumer or Nancy Pelosi" Humming right along with your original tune.
The sour grapes get more sour each day....
It will make very little difference to this country. He was an old man, murdered by the powerful U.S. because it was inconvenient to take him alive.
It was less than 10 years ago when we had 9/11. I suppose he wasn't old then, but now he is old. Maybe everyone should retire after 10 years of service. I wonder why they had to trot out the whole Bush administration, to try and take credit for the old man's death?Oh, I see. It was a cowboy antic, so it must go to Bush. I personally think it was a scalpel effort and I give the credit to Doc. Obama.
It's really funny how everyone who claim they want to cut spending are now advocating for OBL? They wanted him alive and tried in the US, costing millions. They didn't want to bring KSM to New York for trail because it would bee dangerous and costly. But OBL? No way, it won't cost anything.
They just did not want to bring anyone from Gitmo for trial. That would mean Obama would close it and we cannot have that. No sir, not if it's what Obama wants.
Safecracker,
Did your Elite typewriter got stuck?
Hey Fletch2-1565982
Do you remember Adolf Eichmann - Nazi war criminal? Responsible for millions of Jewish deaths. Yet, when captures (and clearly he could have been assassinated), he was tried at great expense by Israel. Eichmann received justice and a just sentence. Bin Laden? Worse than Eichmann? Or perhaps the U.S. marches to a different drummer.
I concede that when Eichmann was tried, the Nazi movement was pretty much dead (or was the neo-Nazi movement around in the 1960s). So maybe concerns about hostage taking and reprisals were significantly less.
From Wikepedia, Eichmann was captured by a team of Mossad and Shin Bet agents in a suburb of Buenos Aires on May 11, 1960. The Mossad agents
had arrived in Buenos Aires in April 1960 after Eichmann's identity was confirmed. After observing Eichmann extensively, a team of Mossad agents waited for him as he arrived home from his work as foreman at a Mercedes Benz factory.
He could have simply been ambushed and deep sixed. But he was not.
If we are truly a nation governed by laws, our actions are hard to justify. But I will not change your view. So, think as you please. Obama's actions will be judged by historians many decades from now.
I personally am disgusted with how he handled the situation. That is my own personal moral standard. We have plunged down to a level no higher that Bin Laden. So much for the greatness of America.
Tom the mystified
I am sure you were not spouting all of this when Bush said "we will get him, dead or alive".
So it is imperative that the USA do exactly what Israel did or would do? Since you guys are so perfect and fair and holy.
I am sure Eichmann did not confess or continued to plan strikes against the Jewish people.
I am also sure Israel has killed others for far less than Bin Laden did. So your hypocrisy and self righteousness does not say very much about you.
Oh dear. Now you are going to say I am anti Semitic.
.
Fletch2
Really.
You are entitled to see it your way. I already said I was not expecting to change your view. I will continue to be a hypocrite in your eyes regardless of what I say.
Regardless, I will stick by my values; I assume you will do the same for your values.
Have a good day.
safecracker,...
really? there seems to be a scratch in your record. You might want to look into the mechanical failure you seem to be experiencing.
Tom, well if the repub party could come up with just one candidate then they could have a tshirt that says Kill Medicare!
But does the T-Shirt have a Made In USA label?
....well I'll be damned. You just gave me pause.
I was just about to ask the same question. And if it does, can we be sure it was made on US soil and not some obscure island off the coast of China that our government has allowed to manufacture goods and put made in the USA labels on it. It was a story on 60 Minutes or a similar show.
Or Made in Mexico with US Fabric :-)
If it is Made In the USA at least You know it didn't come from Walmart..
All obama campaign merch is made in the USA. I called the headquarters to verify this
I think it would be hysterical if the inside label said, "Made in Kenya!"
but I am twisted that way.
Clara, that is funny & twised! How about "filled in the USA" like pepper grinders are made in China but filled here.
Or maybe "I voted for a President an all I got was a FOREIGN POLICY DICTATOR!!!!!!!!" Man do you hear that approval rating WHISTLE as it FALLS? LMAO Twist on that one Sam
Still don't believe he was born in the U.S. Our government can make up anything and Obama's long BC is one of them. He was born in Mombasa, Kenya. What a sad day for the U.S. when he was born.
Donald? Is that you?
Donald? Hi Donald!
S York,
And what size is that asshat?
Go away, TROLL.
S York,
And what size is that asshat?
Go away, TROLL.
give it up dude !!! ya just instist on being a moron at all cost dont ya ????
s york, are you suffering from attention deficit? Now that you've had some you will be alright.
Will go perfect with my "Obama/Rev Wright T-shirt" that says "God Damn America" and my "Obama/Ayers T-shirt" that says "OBOMBA--The White House 2008".....
Obama birth certificate tshirt.
"I give it five tingles" -Chris Matthews
That's a pretty clever idea. I just hope the tag on the inside of the tee shirt doesn't say "Made in Taiwan."
Hey I'm buying a whole bunch of these for my Republican friends. I know it's sick but it will be so much fun.
I'm getting the mug instead---that way I can sip my coffee from it as I read FR in the mornings!
I'm just waiting for the Presidential Bowflex. :o
ed
he should have no problem selling those abs,...ha
You can get a package deal of the t-shirt, an Obama Seal Doll, and your own teleprompter with a collection of Obama "I'm the greatest" speeches.
That reminds me: the White House Correspondents Dinner ran a clip for a fake movie called "The President's Teleprompter Is Missing." Pretty funny stuff, but a self-deprecating joke like that would probably fly right over the heads of people like you.
The Obama Greatest Speeches - do they come with the I, Me, My, I am the greatest! words in them? Naw, I'll just watch reruns of the Obama Spoof on SNL.
Now that was funny!
Houston: What page in the Barry Obama Coloring Book did you find that response on?
Forgot to add the Osama Obama golf balls that always go left to the package deal.
