| Barack Obama Nikes? Sorry, this goes too far |
|
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 08:58 PM by RestoreGore
http://www.bigbadmedium.com/barack_nikes "Barack Obama custom Nikes. With two different portraits of the presidential hopeful on each side and the phrases “Change” and “Yes We Can” both rally cries we’ve heard from the Obama camp. Check out more pictures on his myspace page."  ~~~~ If a Bush supporter put his face on these people would be saying it was "cultish" and meant to brainwash people. This isn't a presidential election, it's a GD ego contest. SOS.

It's no worse than wearing a pin or t-shirt, but they're sneakers. I think |
