Let's be honest, as of November 4th, 2008, the United States officially became an Obama nation. I really couldn't tell though, because his supporters are the type that really like to fly under the radar. None of them are terribly obnoxious or over-the-top, and they've been pretty unoriginal in celebrating and commerating. In spite of this, I've been able to put together a list of a few collectors items I've spotted that are available in case you want to pick one up to remember this point in our history.
After doing one search on Google and one on eBay, this is what I came across (I also threw in some decoys that I made up, see if you can spot them):
Collectible coin set
Folk art (familiar art pieces w/Obama inserted)
One of a kind art (originally made pieces)
Poster
Obama logo Air Force Ones
Obama logo hat
Obama 8 inch doll
Bobblehead doll
Finger puppet doll
Dancing Obama doll
Paper doll
Throw blanket
Hand-crafted quilt
Inauguration DVD (pre-order)
Campaign trail DVD
Subway fare card
Comic book
Pin collection
Pin and brooch
Christmas ornament
Laser-etched marble picture
Wall calendar
Stuffed bear
Magnet collection
Water bottle
Stainless steel bottle
Mug
Collectible model jet with Obama logo
Baby onesie
Boxer shorts
Briefs
Thongs
Trinket box
Sew-on patch
Bookmarks
Earrings
Grateful Dead shirts (Deadheads for Obama)
"Time for Change" wristwatch
Mousepad
Business card holder
Limited edition pen
Mavericks presidential ale bottle
Charm bracelet
Porcelin plate
Like I said, that is the result of ONE Google search and ONE eBay search. Were you able to spot the ones in the list I made up? Well, I lied. I didn't make anything up. Every one of those items is legit. Perhaps this is what Barack meant when he talked about creating new jobs. I mean, somebody has to produce all this stuff, right?
I also did a quick search on the celebrities that will be attending the Inauguration festivities: Secretary of State Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Beyonce, Usher, Garth Brooks, Stevie Wonder, John Mellencamp, Shakira, Mary J. Blige, Herbie Hancock, Josh Groban, John Legend, James Taylor, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Martin Luther King III and Queen Latifah. These are usually people I equate with the term "blue collar", so they're all logical choices.
I don't even think I need to interject an opinion here, all of this nonsense speaks for itself. Pretty high expectations to live up to, no?
Let's be honest, you're an idiot. Last time I checked, he wasn't in the arts and crafts section of Michaels making buttons. Give him a chance to do his job then you can "be honest". Happy new year btw.
ReplyDeleteYou know that Gene made the "Time for a change" wristwatch. And I wish I could take credit for this line but I heard it on the radio, "It's like that scene in Spaceballs where Yogurt tries to merchandise Spaceballs."
ReplyDeleteYogurt: Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made. Spaceballs-the T-shirt, Spaceballs-the Coloring Book, Spaceballs-the Lunch box, Spaceballs-the Breakfast Cereal, Spaceballs-the Flame Thrower.

Dink, Dink, Dink, Dink, Dink, Dink: Ooooh!
Yogurt: [reacts to dinks] The kids love this one.
[a dink hands him a doll that looks likes Yogurt]
Yogurt: And last but not least, Spaceballs the doll, me.
[pulls string]
Doll: May the schwartz be with you!
Yogurt: [kisses the doll] Adorable.
You forgot the commemorative plates that you can purchase via infomercial and they have also been spotted at Walgreen's. I picked up a few spares for special occasions such as birthdays and fathers day, etc. I know my husband will love this featured item.
