These are the Obama/Bayh stickers everyone's talking about...

[Barack_America]

First of all, they're hideous.

Secondly, where's the trademark logo?


Do you think it's possible this company's doing this just to get a little publicity for itself?

1. Based on how Obama runs his campaign, I doubt he'd let this happen.

[liberalmuse]

2. Those don't look official.

Anyone could go on makestickers.com and create them.

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. I hope so, but maybe they are real. I mean, maybe they are red and blue to show the

unity thing Obama is always talking about.

[Barack_America]

8. He doesn't tell his staffers, but he lets some company spill the beans?

No way.

These aren't real.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. well, as I said in another thread about this that if there was a company charged with this

job they would have had to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

[nsd]

9. They're red, white, and blue -- pretty typical color scheme for political signage.

[CoffeeCat]

4. In all of Obama's merchandise...

...there is a " ' " before 08.

There isn't one on the sticker.

The serifs look different than Obama's official font.

I don't think it's the exact font. It's similar, but not exact.

[ErinBerin84]

5. lol.

very authentic looking.
:sarcasm:

[FreeState]

6. Not only that its missing the required text on the bottom of all official campaign matterial

that identifies its official campaign material.

[Kaylee]

7. Those can't be official....

Obama's had a "theme" the entire process...that ain't it.
:puke:

[gateley]

10. It certainly doesn't look like it's the Obama "brand" --

Some people here have made up their own, which I think look much more plausible. This, for example:

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

11. Looks like a bad retread of some old Republican sticker

Though I can't really remember which one. No way in Hell that's an official Obama sticker though.

[mmonk]

16. Maybe it has a Bayh influence to it?

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

20. Well, he IS a Republican retread. Or retard, as the case maybe

(No offense to the developmentally disabled intended. They shouldn't be compared to the DLC)

[mmonk]

21. My point exactly.

[Peregrine Took]

12. He IS Mr. Middle America and boring as an old shoe which, I guess, is seen

as a positive by campaign people in that there won't be any bombshells along the way.

[flvegan]

14. They pre-print two different Superbowl winner t-shirts, too.

It's called getting ahead of the competition. They're probably printing Obama/Biden and Obama/Clinton stickers too.

[nsd]

15. I think the printer is just playing a prank.

The sticker doesn't look like the Obama style and the idea that the campaign would let the cat out of the bag like this seems far-fetched.

[ErinBerin84]

17. Brian Williams just said that this was a rumor that was "knocked down" .

[ChiciB1]

18. I Just Thought Of Something... Turn It Around & It Could Easily Be Used As

Obama... Bayh, Bayh! Not good!

[OmahaBlueDog]

19. It's like the shirts that say the Patriots won last year's Super Bowl

The printers are going to kick out the top 2-3 likely choices on spec. Once the announcement is made, the printers will try to sell the accurate stock ASAP to capitalize on the excitement.

[blogslut]

22. Hideous is an apt descriptor

Shiteous is even better.

Come on, kids. There is no way in hell this crap is official. Obama has REAL designers.

[frylock]

23. first of all, they're hideous..

quite frankly, I don't believe I've seen a Dem candidate's logo that wasn't hideous. Memo to dems: use a sans serif font for crap's sake!

[BeyondGeography]

24. That settles it...it's Biden

What a relief.

[thewiseguy]

25. Drudge says that the Obama campaign has done business with that company before

You can see that on their FEC reports.

[Corey_Baker08]

26. I LIVE IN THE CITY WHERE THE OBAMA STORE MERCHANDISE IS PRINTED

Its in Greenville,Ohio-a small rural town of about15,000. This company printing those stickers is probably a knock off because Obama gave this company, Tigereye Design an exclusive 13 million dollar contract.

[Naturyl]

27. Phony. And *hopefully* Obama's campaign...

Would know better than to put Obama's name on a COMMIE RED background. Geez, talk about your basic dunce-cap psychological mistakes.

These are as phony as Republican fundraiser for charity.

[KamaAina]

28. Do you think it's possible the pic was (badly) Photoshopped?

In particular, check out the raggedy right edge of the final 'A' in Obama. :tinfoilhat:
