I don’t know where this came from but I like it.
This is a bit old, but I have to ask the White House: what’s the deal with the tacky fake deer? C’mon, you guys are more resourceful than that. At least have some live geese or something… Reuters photographer Jason Reed captured these images of George W. Bush after his final, untelevised farewell to staff members, family and friends. What’s going on here? Is the dude crying? I think more realistic is some sort of bowel issue, doesn’t he kind of look like he needs to let one go? Regardless what the expression meant, Bush seems to have just hit the painful wall of realization that his presidency is over and everyone basically hated him. Sad, I say.
Add heroin to the scores of products that have been branded with President Barack Obama’s name. Cops in upstate New York this week broke up a drug ring that allegedly sold heroin under several brand names, including “Obama.” As seen in Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office photos, the president’s surname was stamped in red ink on small glassine wrappers that were peddled by street dealers. Investigators arrested five suspects for their alleged roles in the narcotics distribution activity. The Huffington Post did a great series of candid Obama shots during the inauguration. Here are a few. I think this is maybe the best photo of Obama I’ve ever seen.
Obama practicing before taking his oath…I guess practice doesn’t make perfect
No words for this one. But the Obama Action Figure gets down with the get down. Palin seems to enjoy it too, as I’m sure she does in real life… 
**WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS EXPLICIT MATERIAL** 
This is one of the best viral videos that uses the Obama Action Figure as a main prop. Hilarious in fact! I was wandering around YouTube today and people are doing some dumb shit with our beloved toy hero. Although, I guess the guys who microwaved the Obama and McCain action figures deserve a shout-out. Thanks to filmmaker John Kramer from Chicago for doing this film and letting us know about it. Thanks to Elisabeth M. for sending this over. Nothing special, just the sweet Tom Otterness slide in action! 
So this came out a long time ago but it’s my favorite Obama Tee so I had to give a post. Made by suddenly ubiquitous Colorado clothing company Akomplice, the shirt features Obama (with the crown) ballin’ with Jay-Z on the left, Kanye West on the right, and a bunch of white dudes everywhere else. It’s sold out on their website but look around and you’ll probably be able to find one elsewhere.
So Hypebeast ran a little article on this today (something I did daysss ago, but who’s counting?). Black Klown Clothier found some success with their initial Obama: Run DC T-shirt so they decided to do a really nice looking black version of it. Head over to rundc08.com and pick one up before they disappear…you know just like the action figures did…
