Obamo-flage
By Katie Halper
I figured out how to help Obama win the election: wearing this hat! What can assuage the fears of Obamaphobes more than a camouflage baseball (American pastime) hat (made in America), embroidered with an Obama for President logo and an American Flag. The hat will subliminally convince people that Obama is America is the military is national security. Honestly, we can keep our Obama For President French Berets, pride rainbow Obama-Biden fedoras, and Obama 08 tie-died hair wraps. But let's wear these at home. In public, we should try to put our best hat forward.
My plan is to walk through all the swing states with this hat on. It will be a sort of Forrest Gump with a mission (other than winning an Academy Award and whitewashing U.S. history). And I'll walk, I won't run, because running is terrible for you. Think "Walk, Katie, Walk"/ "Win Obama, Win!"
I think a whole line of Obamoflage could really help the campaign. I'm thinking some hunting vests, rifle satchels, binoculars, jackets, full piece suits
I hope the McCain campaign doesn't catch on and put out a McCain Peace line. Imagine McCain '08 hemp bracelets, McCain for President soy milk, or McSame recycled paper.
FYI, I did not, contrary to popular belief, make this hat or have it made. I found it in a place called America. (83rd and Broadway in Manhattan)

But I love my Obama Fedora!

Doesn't Barack Obama have the best name ever for making into other words? Obamo-flage, Barackandroll, its endless.
Work it

Where's my Obama-flage Cigarette Lighter?
Submitted August 28, 2008 - 10:10 am by Al GiordanoI've been going to all the merchandise stands - official and pirate - and nobody offers an Obama cigarette lighter. Some sound offended by the concept.
Now, what would be really cool (and target a key swing vote) is an Obama-flage Zippo lighter made in Bradford, Pennsylvania!

I've seen them at various places online, but also at my local hardware store, near the flags. I started flying a flag at my house this year, and the lawn sports a bright obama yard sign.
Looking good, Katie!
Submitted August 28, 2008 - 10:17 am by Allan BrauerGreat suggestion too!
And I'll take this opportunity to remind Fieldhands that official Obama gear (purchased through the website and campaign offices) is 100% Union Made in the USA.
I always mention this to people buying items when I work the Obama table at local events, and without exception people beam with pride to learn this, and many buy more as a result.
It's just one gesture that shows people the Obama campaign puts America first and its actions are consistent with its rhetoric.

You Know a lighter would fit right in

A lighter?
Submitted August 28, 2008 - 1:45 pm by Steven (mayan) (not verified)Sounds more like Albamoflage.
