Much has been said about the nation’s adoration for America’s youngest, cutest, slenderest, blackest, most hope-inspiring presidential candidate. Heck, even John McCain‘s daughter Meghan called Barack Obama “sexy.” But, for those fans out there who can’t simply live with these truths, now there is a product in which Obama, looking as iconic and dashing as ever, can materialize from the depths right in front of you over and over again: the Obama Drawing Hand screen saver.
Now, this has got me thinking for several reasons. Forget my curiosity over who would actually use this product. Or, how the folks at the office might react. I’m contemplating campaign commerce. This market’s going to disappear in less than a year. The economy’s sinking, and here’s a new niche to exploit. Where are the enterprising young businessmen and women? Apparently, Barack Obama independent t-shirt sales are soaring. But, what about the Barack Obama lifetime tours—you know where you can visit his mom’s home in Kansas and then swing by Jeremiah Wright’s church and later check out his home somewhere in Chicago. Perhaps, there could be an “Obama!, The Musical” Or, just, you know more products…cereal: Obamios; Barack Obama coloring books; Or maybe some motivational cd about hope compiling his speeches together. I think I’m kidding. But, maybe I’ll be biting my tongue in a few months about this…
