Keep an eye out at the start of tonight's Democratic Convention for the Nevada delegation. They'll be wearing hats designed by the Tulle Hat Company in Castle Rock, Colorado, which has been using my Obama photo in some of their advertising, such as this small mailer.
This photo was taken on August 23, 2008 using a Canon PowerShot SD870 IS.

I think Sammy Davis Jr. would have looked better in that picture....at least he could sing and dance.

Some of the comments are silly. It's sad to see racism still exists in the hearts of evil people.
Mr. Wright (43 months ago | reply)
yeah, i have to delete the more vile ones. the stuff where people just embarrass themselves, i leave up.

Mr. Wright (31 months ago | reply)
Dude, you scare me because you're so effing detached from reality.
KEBWEBS (30 months ago | reply)
Hey Wander Aimlessly (appropriate handle) are you still extremely proud to be an American right now OR have you begun to awaken?
Mr. Wright, which one are you?
1 - Union
2 - Teacher
3 - Apathetic
All of the above is an appropriate answer.
Your children will despise you for drinking the poison and denying them the free country you enjoyed. They will look back and say, "my parents were a couple of the clueless imbisiles who failed to notice that the Federal Reserve was being used as a tool to destroy America's middle class". They were busy jumping up and down applauding Obama even as America was stripping it's citizenry of wealth. You'd better hope that those cute kids believe whatever they're told, just like you!

@KEBWEBS: Because there is nothing so shameful as wanting to give poor Americans health insurance. How my children will recoil in horror!
KEBWEBS (30 months ago | reply)
You think this is about Health Insurance for the poor? This is a framework for social control, PERIOD! This should be plainly obvious to everyone by now however apathy still rules the day for the left.
Your children will see and understand how easily you were manipulated and used as a pawn to vote against YOUR OWN INTEREST and theirs. That is how...
Mr. Wright (30 months ago | reply)
Blah blah blah, y'all just don't feel good about yourselves unless you're running around the internet being an asshole, huh? You've really made me see the TRUTH! How could I have been so blind?!?!
KEBWEBS (30 months ago | reply)
I wondered myself. Glad you see the light now!
tapol0719 (15 months ago | reply)
Thanks for ObamaCare to jeopardize our rights and take away from capitalism and free-market. Now were going into socialism where the government takes control of what? you guess it your health insurance and the health industry, how exciting. Thanks Obama for Stimulus Package which has sank us further into a debt hole that has set an unbelievable debt spending in just 2 years something that former presidents nearly could not have done. You truly are a one term president and my hat goes off to you for the awesome job for tearing up America from the inside by a being a leader from outside the country. Open administration? Where are your college grades? Where is your birth certificate?
Mr. Wright (15 months ago | reply)
such original commentary!
KEBWEBS (15 months ago | reply)
"The President does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." - Senator Barack Obama, December 2007.
Original enough for you?

Where was this gusto in Iran?
KEBWEBS (14 months ago | reply)
Ya know, I think I get it now. Mr Obama did nothing when Iranians rose up but he "drove" the uprising in Egypt. Now Lybia is something we are involved in but we appear inconsistent about Ghidaffi. So far our treatment of the various middle east regions relates directly to their treatment of ISREAL. Keep that in the back of your trusting mind as things continue to play out. You are going to see an argument made that Isreal is potentially guilty of genocide . It will eminate from the U.N. (our new congress) and we will dutifully allow the result of that U.N. investigation to guide the future of Isreal. Meanwhile Isreal is under constant terror attack and the media is silent. Hillary Clinton points out that the only true news agency is Al Jezera. Got it yet? Isreal is being provoked into defending itself AT WHICH TIME the U.N. will make these moves. This U.N. policy has already been written by the Center for American Progress and will be utilized to foster the next genocide in the name of preventing one.
Sounds nuts, right. STAY TUNED... All thanks to appathetic liberals. Oh, I almost forgot. We are on the menu next.

Give it a rest, asshole. This is fucking Flickr. Go Troll somewhere else.
Mr. Wright (14 months ago | reply)
Sorry, shouldn't have used profanity. Just don't enjoy political commentary when I log in to my flickr account. Even in this case where I tend to agree with the dude that the war in Libya ain't my favorite thing right now.

Actually a 1930's style Chicago gangster hat ie Capone would be more appropriate at this stage of his presidency
