Buy Obama and Wear Him Too!

I must thank CTMom for this wonderful link on the new Obama fashions.

While I don’t imagine that thirty years from now people will be coveting these items in the same way they seek original Grateful Dead T-Shirts, this idea is sure to hit the fashion industry by storm, albeit for a short-lived period of time.

Obama fashions will be hitting the market next month. This will give you roughly two months to wear your Obama fashion statement before relegating it to the Car wash pile out of shear embarrassment. After all, do you ever see people wearing a Kerry shirt now?

Anybody? Anybody?

For $80 you will be able to purchase this lovely design among many that will appear for sale on Obama’s web site,  so that you might press it close to your own personal body. Toss in a vibrating cell phone and you have got a full evening of Cool coming your way. You could even do the Right Said Fred thing.

 

The Barack Obama campaign, which has been actively courting the fashion industry, has coordinated some 20 or so designers who are creating official merchandise for the candidate’s Web site. It is the first time, as far as Seventh Avenue long-timers can recall, that a quorum of the fashion industry has organized its financial resources and creative energy around a single presidential candidate.

Fashion’s seal of approval may not define Obama as average, but it could be invaluable. Designers know that fashion is ultimately about communication, and with the right hemline or well-placed seam, they can influence public perceptions about the Obama brand and develop an army of walking billboards.

The benefit to the candidate is a direct line to the “Project Runway” crowd. The risk, of course, is being perceived as highbrow or shallow.

Barack Obama, vain and shallow????? No! Say it isn’t so!!!1111!!!

But is this a great idea or what? Obama sycophants get to pay bucks to advertise for him for free. Seems fair! I do hope they sell shorts with Barky on them as well. I know guys like Chris Matthews would probably love to have a pair to go with that leg tingling thing. And I bet those three Jihad brothers over in the Hamas Compound could make a “killing” selling those.

But wait! There’s more!

By amazing coincidence, my friend and enabler, fellow blogger at The Real Barack Obama– probably in anticipation that Uppity would steal it from her site anyhow — sent me Barky’s new special logo this morning.

I must confess that at first, I wondered what on earth I should do with this logo.

Should this logo replace the “Wear The Union Label” label?

Should Harley riders sew them onto their jackets? I mean clearly, there appears to be a Harley thing going on here in typical Obama Sponge-Like response to John McCain’s remark that he would rather hear the roar of ‘50,000 Harleys’ than the cheering of 200,000 Berliners”.

But my blogger friend knows me now. She knew that Uppity would not let this logo get by her imagination. Now I ask you to look at this logo carefully. Does it not conjur up a vision of Michelle Riding a Harley with Barky behind her, arms tightly clutched her waist, fingers intertwined tightly, head pressed to her back? Both are wearing Obama’s new logo on their custom-made leather jackets (Billionaire Couture for him, Forzieri for her) in 10 or 12 places just to make sure everybody sees the logo.  Barky blurts out, through clenched white-stripped, rattling teeth, his squeals vibrating to the pantameter of the roaring Harley engine:

“Slow down Michelle! You’re scaring the shit out of me!”.

I mean, I think that’s kind of a realistic thought, don’t you agree? — considering Michelle scares the shit out of simply everybody.

Michelle would turn her head slightly and bark back,

“Shut up and wait till I get you home! You don’t know pain, bitch!”.

But there seems to be something much more symbolic at work here with this new logo about to be unveiled:  Now that I have read about Barky’s coordinated efforts with the fashion industry, I understand completely. Barack Obama needs to make a boatload of these logos into clothing labels and plaster them on all of his own clothing. This should take care of the ongoing question American’s have as to whether or not he is an American at all, right?

On second thought, maybe he could  tape one to his forehead too. That should settle it.

“Wear Obama” is, I think, an appropriate phrase for the Obama designer clothing campaign. God knows the Narcissistic Manchild is wearing on half of America already.
