Everybody wants the Obama brand to rub off on them. A couple of recent examples:

Posters noticed by a Dish reader in Paris this weekend. Sarkozy is nothing if not shameless.

Sarkozy Isn't Alone

Dubi Kaufmann has made a plugin that will allow anyone to "Obamafy" photos.

If you liked the red-white-and-blue look of the Barack Obama “Hope” poster designed by street artist gone viral Shepard Fairey, Dubi Kaufmann has made a plug-in for Photo Booth that allows you to “Obamafy” your photos.

With over 4,450 downloads and counting, just about any photo you pop into it will take on iconic status. Still, Obamafying yourself won’t get you elected. As Kaufmann says, the free app is “an exercise in pop culture and is not parhttp://cultofmac.com/?p=5105&preview=truet of any campaign nor it is an endorsement for either candidate.”

Download zip file here, then expand it. Copy the file Obamafy.qtz to /Library/Compositions, then launch Photo Booth and enjoy the Obamafy plugin.

1. Isn't that something!

The world is about to get Obamafide. Reminds me of when all of the other candidates decided that they were also the candidates of change. Remember that? Was hillarious as hell when they realized it wasn't working so well for them. LOL!

Imitation is the best form of flattery....
Only problem is that the original is always better.

2. I remember after Obama won Iowa, Romney completely switched his talking points to be all about

"Change". It was hilarious.

Remember when McCain and Palin tried the same thing right after the Republican National Convention. The pundits actually seemed to be falling for it until a big poll came out showing the public wasn't that stupid. McCain, as usual, "changed" his tactics and moved onto attacking Obama for something else - accusing him of teaching 5 year olds about explicit sex or calling Sarah Palin a pig because if anyone ever used the term "lipstick" they were referring to her.


The memories are much more enjoyable now that I know the outcome. :)

3. Ain't that the truth!

Even Hillary was for Change. Hers was experience to Change or something like that. It also only lasted a minute or so.

5. LOL - check out this article I just saw: "OBAMA license plate could use its own security"

GREAT NECK, N.Y. -- A Long Island Democratic supporter says he's been driven to hide his OBAMA vanity license plates inside his car because people kept trying to steal them.

Great Neck resident Jonathan Lifschutz says he got the plates bearing the surname of the U.S. president-elect from the New York Department of Motor Vehicles days after the Jan. 26 South Carolina primary.

The 50-year-old financial analyst and former Hillary Clinton donor says would-be thieves tried prying off the plates and he even caught one man red-handed.

He jokes the Empire State plates one day will be a collector's item -- in someone else's house.

So he's taken them off his car and put his old plates back on.
