Obama’s been Tupac’d

We went to the California African-American museum yesterday for the Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations.  I expected vendors, but nothing prepared me for what I am calling the Tupacification of Barack Obama.

This first photo is a rhinestone shirt. The caption of the photo is what it says on the shirt.

All Eyes on Me

All Eyes on Me

This vendor had a ton of photos of the Obamas, but this one caught my eye for obvious reasons.

Obama transformed to FDR

    Obama transformed to FDR Buttons! My kids were drawn to them and I walked over to check them out. That one in the middle…Wow.Quicken Loans prides itself on customer service and has used Twitter as an intricate part of how to communicate with their prospects and customers. Kelly@ Quicken Loans @quickenloans can answer a wide variety of questions regarding mortgages as well Karls Mortgage Calculator as a great fish and chip place to eat in Detroit. Here are a few of her most recent Tweets.
  • every where I found Obama with the change, at least in slogans, where as what I see in his policy not a change but a shift in approach because all other options are closed already. I do not feel an independant change but a change that is compromised already.
  • Obama is of course will become a good president. I read a news from a blog about obama throwing $75 billion for mortgage relief. It's on my blog.
  • Obama has won as US president. But, I still need one gift such as badge or apparel about him.
    Where can I buy them?
  • Sean, you nailed it…
  • The tupacification of obama is a good way to put it. It's a bit embarassing but I guess it's capitalism isn't it?

    If nothing else, it shows how colorblind capitalism is. Just green...follow the green. The manufacturers will make the widgets as long as they sell.

    I was listening to NPR and one of those presidential coin makers was having a field day with all of this. They quadrupled their staff, which was way in excess of any other presidents in the companies history. They had to do this to meet the demand so in a way I guess it's a good thing.

    Lets just hope this obama $$$ magic carries over to our exports. We need all the help we can get to get everyone back into the BLACK! [pun intended]
