"Miss Me Yet?" Bush Merchandise a Hit Online
See what we are up against? Liberal media?




"Miss Me Yet?" Bush Merchandise a Hit Online
The online store CafePress saw a spike in demand for items featuring the same image as the billboard, the New York Daily News reports. Ten "Miss Me Yet?" items were on the company's list of its top-selling designs, CafePress spokeswoman Jenna Martin told the Daily News.

"There were no Obama-themed designs on the list," she said. "Bush has stolen the political spotlight, just like Sarah Palin did the week before when she re-surfaced with crib notes written in her palm."

Obama-themed merchandise saturated the Washington area around the time of the president's inauguration last year, but by the fall, the enthusiasm for Obama caps, t-shirts, commemorative plates and so forth, seemed to fizzle. U.S. News and World Report noted earlier this month that even the Obama Store, located in tourist-filled Union Station, has closed, in what "may be the most tangible sign yet that the honeymoon is over."

10. The left needs to stick by Obama even if you are dissapointed.
The alternative to him is totally repugnant now. The far right has gotten downright scarry and they have taken over the Republcian Party.

11. Blind loyalty is not a Democratic virtue
Fear is a tool of the right wing.

15. Woah! Revelation! "The far right has gotten downright scar(r)y"?
The FAR RIGHT has stolen at least 2 presidential elections. The FAR RIGHT set the scene for 2 wars by creating terror scenarios that served their economic interests. The FAR RIGHT has stopped investing their OWN money in businesses because they figured out how to take control of the government so they could invest OUR TAX DOLLARS IN THEIR OWN BUSINESSES. :eyes:

When we tell them we'll stick by them no matter how they continue to screw us - then we LOSE!

We need to be more DEMANDING like the fucking conservatives and let him and these other conservative fucks know that until WE get our way, NO VOTE!!!

WHY THE FUCK HAS OBAMA NEVER SOUGHT OUT LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE VOTES?!!!! HE'S ALWAYS GOING AFTER LIEberman AND REPUKES!!!

3. Irony sells
If I saw someone with a "miss me yet" t-shirt, I'd assume it was a joke and I'd probably be right.

9. "I took a giant dump on the American people and walked away--miss me?"
Fuck you Georgie, and your moran admirers.

It looks as if we're going to have to suffer a four or an eight year corporate funded tantrum from the repugs, just like with Clinton. It sure is exhausting psychologically.

25. Great except you're missing the "Miss Me Yet?" Without that, people who haven't seen me
the "Miss Me Yet" merchandise wouldn't have a clue about what you're talking about.

There's been 3 posted at my office for 3 months now. Anybody who hasn't seen it by now isn't going to know who George Bush is.

16. Obama commerative plates were at Big Lots
last fall for about five bucks, they had dozens and dozens of them. I guess that's where political soveneers go when they're not hot anymore. I'll be on the look-out at Big Lot's for some of those "miss me yet" things once their hot run is over.
