Politics / Boom / News / Fashion Now You Can Get Your Obooma! 2010 T-Shirt
Posted by Megan Seling on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 12:21 PM
Remember when President Obama came to Seattle yesterday and then the sky literally exploded with excitement? Now you can have a commemorative t-shirt!
From komonews.com:
CEO of Nology Media Leegh Fatzinger started working on the shirts just 20 minutes after the "big boom" tweets started coming in. The tweets were accompanied by hashtags "#WAboom" and "#Obooma.""Once we realized it was kind of a cute anomaly, we said, ‘We need to do something to remember this,’” Fatzinger said. "We want to have some fun with this.”
You can also get an Obooma hat or onesie.
I think that's hilarious.
Thanks to Slog reader Eric for the tip.

I think my brother still has a t-shirt with a picture of George Bush (the first one) giving the finger, and a caption underneath: "Hey Saddam, Read My Lips!"
If cheesy, topical t-shirts aren't the pinnacle of good old American capitalism, I don't know what is.

Seattle loves our President.
We're very patriotic.
And we love our proud fighter pilots who responded ASAP to protect him.

It would be nice as a chest print; HOWEVER, the design is ridiculously low on the shirt. It's practically below the nipples. Gut print? I don't think so.

@6 Nope. No monetary motivation. Just a friend of mine who found it on the internetz and sent it to me.
