“Oba Mao” T-Shirts a Hit in Communist China

This is kind of heartwarming. It looks like even the most xenophobic of American teabaggers have something in common with the average citizen of communist China…

The Chinese have learned English from his speeches and celebrated the way he rolls up his sleeves. Now President Barack Obama is finally coming, and he’s being greeted with “Oba Mao” T-shirts and a statue of him that bursts into flames…

One Beijing shop owner wanted to see what Obama could do for sales. Liu Mingjie created “Oba Mao” T-shirts, with the president wearing the uniform of the Red Guards, who caused chaos during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s…

He sold hundreds of the shirts, to both foreigners and Chinese, until authorities told shops selling the shirts to stop.

It’s so sweet to see such disparate groups of people finding some common ground, huh?

But, let’s for a minute get back to that burning statue of Obama? How’d they get away with that in such a totalitarian state? We can’t even burn Nancy Pelosi over here.

How Barack Obama Won the Presidency (Or Did He?)

Barack Obama won the election last year, right? Everyone knows that, right? So this poll that asks if Barack Obama actually won the election last year is about as necessary as a barrel of bacon at a vegan restaurant, right?

Right?

The poll asked this question: “Do you think that Barack Obama legitimately won the Presidential election last year, or do you think that ACORN stole it for him?” The overall top-line is legitimately won 62%, ACORN stole it 26%.

Among Republicans, however, only 27% say Obama actually won the race, with 52% an outright majority saying that ACORN stole it, and 21% are undecided.

Yep, 52% of Republicans think ACORN stole the 2008 presidential election, using nothing but their patented stupidity to secure 53% of the popular vote for Obama. Another 21% of Republicans think, well, maybe. Yeah. That certainly sounds plausible, but… hmm, who can say for sure?

After all, if there’s one thing we know about ACORN, it’s that they’re masters of getting away with illegal activity without anybody ever noticing.
