[azmouse]

4. Perfect thing to wear for that 3 am phone call.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Hey! That was the line I was going to Use!

GMTA!

[azmouse]

12. I'm training myself to type faster so I can get in a good line before everyone else.

Some of y'all are so darn fast on the draw. :hi: :woohoo:

[Tallison]

27. No kidding - this msg board is the fastest I've ever been on

All day, all night - when I'm watching live news analysis, within seconds someone's posted the coverage. Wonder if there's any more active message board as DU at this moment?

[AirmensMom]

5. LOL!

:rofl:

Might just have to get some of those! :bounce:

[rucky]

6. I must have some. n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

7. delete, someone beat me to it.. =/

[madaboutharry]

9. Oh, I am so getting these!

:)

[1corona4u]

10. Oh cool...

I don't wear jammies, but if they have a nightie, I'm there..

[gblady]

28. me, too....

a nice 'Bama cotton flannel nitie would be wonderful to snuggle up in.....

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. Would be nice to know if they're Obama "supporters" and not Repukes

making money on Obama's image. Just sayin'. I clicked on the "About Us" link, hoping to get more information about the merchant, but no real information there.

[madaboutharry]

14. I tried to find out too.

I'm concerned now about whether I should get them.

[Tarheel_Dem]

18. Exactly. I'd hate to think that I put money into the pockets of someone

who's just making money off of Obama's image & popularity. If someone can assure me that these people are true Obama supporters, I'll be more than happy to make a purchase, otherwise, I say "skip it".

[Tallison]

22. The background looks like his campaign site, but it's not...

Why doesn't his campaign just co-opt the idea?

FWIT, the Ojammies inspired me to visit his actual website, off which I just bought a shirt and a ball cap!

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. Good idea. I think I'll pop over to his site and buy something too! (nt)

[Ojamas]

39. Good question

I suspect the Obama camapaign hasn't co-opted the idea yet for a few reasons.
1) their objective is to win a presidential election, not go into the fashion and apparel business
2) making custom pajamas is a whole lot more involved (complicated and expensive) than silk-screening a tshirt or printing a bumper sticker at Cafe-Press
3) Ojamas is a registered trademark
4) might not look too good for a presidential candidate to squash an American small business in the middle of a campaign over some stupid pajamas. I mean would it really be worth the trouble?
5) Nationalizing pajamas? That's just wrong :-) Pajamas must stay in the private sector. Long live Ojamas!

29. Ojamas Sleepwear Supports Obama

Thanks for asking a very valid question. My name is Ron, I'm a registered Democrat, ardent supporter of Barack Obama, and the proprietor of Ojamas Sleepwear. We are donating a portion of the proceeds from all sales to the Obama/Biden campaign. We (my associates, family and I) also do volunteer work for the campaign. You can find our blog at http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/ojamas. Ojamas Sleepwear is neither officially endorsed by or affiliated with the Obama/Biden campaign, but I assure you I have voted for every Democratic ticket since Johnson and it is with great pleasure and pride I will do so again this year! Thanks for your support.

33. How soon before y'all start shipping these.

The only thing holding me back is the pre-order.

I looked around the site for an estimated shipping date, but couldn't find one. Apologies if this was an oversight on my part.

[Ojamas]

37. Mid October

We expect to begin shipping in a couple more weeks. Our goals is to fill our entire backlog by 10/15.

[BlooInBloo]

35. TBH, your .us url and not telling us exactly what % goes to the Obama campaign....

gives me the willies.

[Ojamas]

36. We don't know yet

You're waiting to order because you don't know the exact percentage or amount we'll be donating to the campaign? We don't know what the percentage will be yet. It could be a lump sum, fixed amount depending on prevailing campaign donation limits. The exact amount will likely remain confidential in any case, but I can guarantee you we are making donations of time and money. Are you letting everyone know how much you're donating to the campaign? ;-)

[Hepburn]

15. I want, I want!!!!

Love 'em! :loveya:

[ellaydubya]

16. Already ordered!!!

Can't wait!!!!! Too much fun!!!!!! We can put on our pajamas and our socks and dance away with Obama and Michele, and, yes, Jill and Joe will definitely join us!!!:yourock: :patriot:

[crunchgarcia]

17. I completely need some of those!

Maybe some for gabby too!

[geekgrrl]

19. OMG I just ordered some. Brilliant!!!!!!!!! nt

[vanderBeth]

20. I want those NOW

[blogslut]

21. Cute

But not officially sanctioned by the Obama campaign and looks like no part of the profits will be getting donated to it either. So, none for me.

[Ojamas]

30. blogslut is mistaken - see FAQ

Not sure why she believes none of the profits are being donated to the campaign. This is a false statment. We have and will continue to donate to the campaign based on our sales volume and prevailing campaign donation limits. Please <a href="http://www.ojamas.us/servlet/the-template/faq/Page">see our FAQ</a> if you have any questions, and thanks for your support. You guys are terrific.

34. Thanks for clarifying that! These are so cute

I know what I want for my birthday!

[blogslut]

43. I stand corrected

What does the Obama campaign say about you using their logo for a commercial product?

[Ojamas]

51. What do they say? Honest answer

They say nothing so far.. They have issued "cease and desist" orders to other companies on Cafe Press and Zazzle, however, they have not said anything to us (or about us) one way or the other. If you go to barackobama.com and look under "media", you'll see that they make the logos available in many different styles, forms, and resolutions to the public, and they do not post any terms or conditions for use. The implication is that they want the public and businesses to use the marks responsibly, and respectfully in a way that promotes their message or candidate. Oh, yes, we've called and emailed them for a formal permission, but I think they know we're behind them 100% and our design is significantly (legally) different from theirs and that it doesn't warrant intervention. Essentially, we're on the same side and if we can promote the image, create a unique quality product, service our own customers, and even donate to the campaign... well, why would they want to stop any of that? Help the world, sleep better, and elect Barack Obama all at once.

[Critters2]

23. Why look! It's my dad's birthday present! nt

[TheDonkey]

25. lol, great idea

[boppers]

26. From their FAQ:

Q: Are Ojamas associated with the Obama campaign?
A: Ojamas Sleepwear is not affiliated or endorsed in any way by the Obama campaign at this time. We do, however, intend to donate a portion of the profits to the campaign as allowed.

[BlooInBloo]

31. hahah! What's next? "mashed Otatoes"???

:rofl:

[Sebastian Doyle]

32. It would tie in great with a Thanksgiving promotion

..except that's after the election. Or, because of 2000, I guess you have to say.... it damn well BETTER be after the election. :rofl:

[Ojamas]

38. 35 Wackiest Obama Products

Well, BlooInBloo, since you asked.... there are some very unusual promotional products out there. One of the most interesting collections can be found at http://www.purpleslinky.com/Offbeat/35-Wackiest-Weirdest-Barack-Obama-Merchandise-You-Can-Actually-Buy.184129. Ojamas didn't make the cut, but maybe that's a good thing. :-)

[Chan790]

40. The Obama halloween mask...

looks like the strange progeny of Gilbert Gottfried and Richard Nixon.

[Heidi]

41. Welcome to DU!

Glad you're here! :hi:

[Ojamas]

42. Jews for Obama

Let's not overlook the ever-popular "Obama-kah".... http://www.jewsforobama.blogspot.com/.

[Ojamas]

44. The Today Show

Just wondering, did anyone see us on the "Today Show" on Thursday?

[madaboutharry]

45. I guess you're ok.

I am going to get a pair of your pajamas now. I wamt them for election night.

Why are you stuck at 8 posts?

[Ojamas]

47. Stuck at 8 posts

only cuz we just heard about democraticunderground.com. Had we known about you guys sooner, we sure would've had a lot more posts by know. Maybe you should "above ground"? ;-)

[Starry Messenger]

56. Ah, just go to the Lounge and post kitty pics. :)

Post count heaven! Seriously, though. Nice jammies.

[Orsino]

46. Change We Can Sleep In! n/t

[chupacabranation]

49. I really hope Jumpin Jammerz gets ahold of this concept.

Obama footy pajamas? YES PLEASE!!!

http://www.jumpinjammerz.com/

(P.S. I already have the Duckies and the Monkeys)

[Ojamas]

54. Here's a deal

We're hoping to roll out new designs, and "footies" will be great, but we have to be successful with first model in order to expand. If you'll help us now, we already have some very exciting ideas that will follow. Order now, and I'll get you footies when Barack wins the election. Deal? Thanks for your interest and suggestions.

[chupacabranation]

55. Okay!!! :) NOOOO problem.
