I am a bit of a shionista myself, but this just goes over the top. I would even say that if it were someone from the GOP. It just comes across as narcisstic and insensitive to what most Americans are going through right now with the economy.

Very disappointed.
Does the Republican Establishment exist, and do bags handbags totesyou want to become a member of part of it?
If we are to have any hope of annihilating The Communist in November, you better be prepared to fight as down and dirty as the leftists do. Write about Fast & Furious, the transparent attempt to take away our religious freedom, our freedom of speech, our gun rights, foreign policy, the economy. If you can&8217;t, find someone who can.
Hope, Handbags, and Hypocrisy bags handbags totes,Jan Baran, an election lawyer with Wiley Rein LLP, said designers can&8217;t ask employees to work on political projects unless they willingly volunteered their time. Someone who is paid to do campaign work is not a volunteer, he said. If the designer or staff are paid by anyone other than the campaign, it would be considered a campaign contribution from a company to a candidate.
Seeing an opportunity for millions of dollars of pro-Obama cash, the campaign decided politics trumped principle and reversed their own position on Super PACs, encouHope, Handbags, and Hypocrisy bags handbags totesraging donors to support the third party group Priorities USA.
The campaign has new slogans, old logos, and equally vapid platitudesall meant to distract from high unemployment, rising debt, and the overwhelming sense that America is headed in the wrong direction.
Barack Obama once declared that as a result of Super PACs, every American might end up suffering. Now, the Obama campaign has decided that, in the words of a$50 pindesigned by Eddie Borgo, Barack Obama and his Super PAC could be greater together. Never mind the effect on every American.
..one of my vorite designers, is one of the o&8217;s designers. I wrote to tell her that even though I loved her product, I loved my country more, so bye bye Tory. I&8217;ve never received a response.
But visitors to find themselves asking yet another question: Is the Obama campaign promoting a president or a product?

The last four paragraphs are so much more important than the bulk of this. Why not go into depth on the PAC reversal? That&8217;s a r more damning indictment &8212; what&8217;s the ideological reason for his original position and then why doesn&8217;t the reversal completely and utterly break it?
It really is all about Priorities. Obama now prioritizes fundraising over fighting supposed suffering. It doesnt take a shion designer to see thats a bad look on him.

In 2008, Barack Obama had no record, so he ran on empty slogans. In 2012, he has a record, but because that record is so abysmal, the campaign has calculated that they must run a campaign that deliberately avoids mentioning it.

He may have broken a lot of relatively unimportant promises &8211; about campaign funding, closing Gitmo, etc. But on the big stuff &8211; implementing Progressive policies, skyrocketing energy prices, hampering development, socializing medical care, ignoring the law to &8216;get things done&8217; and the like &8211; he has kept every single one.

The only compromise on contraceptives is complete exemption for all religious individuals & groupsbyTim Griffin@griffinelection(Diary)
This is likely a Fail .. but it&8217;s also an early point in the campaign season.
This tone-deafness comes on the same day that Team Obama took hypocrisy to a new levelembracing the very Super PACs that the president once called a threat to democracy. Its just the latest broken promise from Barack Obama and, like the shion fundraising, directly undermines the administrations own rhetoric.
While it doesn&8217;t play well outside urban centers, conspicuous consumption &8211; $200 for Air Jordans or $100 for the right jeans &8211; plays very well in urban areas. Clearly, Obama hopes to retain or grow his popularity among young trendsetters, still living off mommy or daddy&8217;s dime.
is of interest to inside-politics folks who are active on Red State and elsewhere, but the designer stuff appeals to the folks who watch &8220;What Not To Wear&8221; &8230;
This mornings Wall Street Journalreportson Obamas Runway to Win shion fundraiser tonight, where the campaign will begin hawking campaign-themed apparel and accessories from high-end designers. The article also raises some serious issues about potential campaign finance law violations:
The American people wont be distracted, but the Obama campaign has managed to distract themselves from reality. Team Obama talks about fighting for the middle class and about vague notions of irnessand then they peddle a $95 scarf. In the Obama economy, few can realistically afford to be campaign-chiceven if these are supposed to be discounted prices. (See the RNCs video, The Obama 2012 Fashion Show)
On the upside, if Obama does tank in November, these will all disappear into the back of the hipster closets and reappear a year or two later as donations &8230;

While the products prices are high by conventional standards, it all speaks to a certain cheapening of the commander-in-chief. It underscores yet again the Obama campaigns desire to run on somethinganything!other than the presidents record.
The thought of a homeless panhandler on the Madison Street bridge wearing a $95 Obama shirt makes me grin.
The high-priced T-shirts ($45), totes ($75), and scarves ($95) are designed by the likes of Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, and Beyonc, and feature logos (the Obama O), slogans (Greater Together), and images (of the president himself).
These are serious questions and deserve a serious investigationand an honest answer from the self-proclaimed most transparent administration in history.

That is a beautiful picture you&8217;ve painted there.
Hence, the high unemployment, rising debt, and overwhelming sense that America is headed in the wrong direction.

Is it me, or is there something rather creepy about this? We elect a President, not a dictator who likes plastering his ce and logo all over apparel.
