    Obama shirt

    I went to the Big Shoulders 5K swim in Chicago on Saturday and the t-shirts given to the competitors featured a picture of Obama wearing swim goggles! I thought it was a cool shirt, but I guess lots of people weren't happy. I sort of feel like if the shirt had McCain I probably wouldn't wear it, but I wouldn't be upset about it. Hell, it's an event t-shirt, most of the time they suck. Anyway, probably a bad call by the meet director. Why do something to piss off a good part of the competitors?

    Here's the shirt. I thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

    I'd drown the organizer, and then ask for my money back.

    Cool shirt, but bad move on the race director's part.

    I have a couple of new guns to scope in. If anyone has a few extra Obama shirts, they would make great targets.

    That shirt is pretty tasteless and incredibly inconsiderate.

    I would say the same if it was any other candidate with a robotic clan following.

    Do you really think the people voting for Obama are like robots? Or is that just something you heard and are now repeating it? I don't really care if you use it but I do think it makes little sense. If anything the McCain followers are more like robots...especially when they mimic him.
    Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

    In my opinion this post on the US Masters swimming forum summed it up pretty well: http://forums.usms.org/showpost.php?...0&postcount=69
