The sad part is that Obama's loyal legions of followers will snap this stuff up and make shrines with it.
I even saw the media proclaim that the new age of Camelot had arrived, except now they were going to call it Obamalot.

Seriously, Obama is not even my main problem. Bad polititions come and go, and Bush and Obama are no exception. What gets me is his followers. How can you treat this guy like he is a gift from god?!?! Seriously! My aunt has a myspace account and on there she has an "I love Obama" app and is also "friends" with Obama! Only because she is family and I like her do I not question her about his policies to see how much she actually knows about him.
He should trademark his name and image so he gets a piece of all the exploitation going on in his name.
He has now become his own brand name.
At my college, he is as popular on T-shirts as POLO, NIKE, SKIN, FAMOUS STARS AND STRIPES, and any other popular brand.
I am not saying ALL Obama supporters are ignorant or sheep, but most of them are.
So you know most of these supporters? I think not. And I don't see you saying the same # about republicans and Ronald Reagan supporters. They treat him the same way. Good grief. Let people have their emotions and feelings. It's all a part of being human. Nobody is asking you to join them. Good grief. It seems like you're just as obsessed as the "followers" are but in the opposite way.

It would be humorous if it was a joke but these people are serious. Therefore, it is sickening.
Even though I am a ardent Ron Paul supporter, I would object to him being portrayed as a gift from god or as the chosen one.
Obama has done nothing to denounce his fanatical followers and that is one of the things that scares me most. He LIKES it. He THRIVES on it. He BELIEVES it.
This guy will be my next president whether I like it or not. (I don't) It just makes me sick.

It would be impossible for me to know slightly over half the country that voted for this man so that question is absurd. I can only talk about people that I have actually spoken to. Let me tell you, most of his supporters buy the "change, hope, yes we can" bit hook line and sinker. I have spent many hours debating and enlightening persons on my campus and even in my own family.
I have found if you know what you are talking about and do it in a matter of fact way without derogatory remarks, most will be open and listen. However, I am but one man speaking and cannot possibly reach enough unless I had my own national radio show or hosted a news channel.

Just what's going to happen to those of us that are not drinking the obama kool-aid? Wait for it, next they'll want him up on Mt Rushmore.

And if it was of someone you liked and admired you'd be buying the # too. Hypocritical people are so annoying. Welcome to capitalism hon. # like this is sold every day. Only thing I have from the election is a bumper sticker and a tiny pin I got for free.
