President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign store offers a variety of LGBT merchandise, including items such as the “My Two Dads Support Obama Onesie,” and the “I’m Out For Obama” t-shirt. On Wednesday, President Obama announced that he now supports homosexual marriage.

The items in the “LGBT for Obama” collection range in price from a $10 beer can coozie to a $40 Party Pack of items – including a shirt, poster, buttons, car magnets, and bumper sticker – for “your next house party.”

Other pro-LGBT items for sale at Store.BarackObama.com include the following:

-- A $20 “LGBT for Obama” poster

-- A $20 children’s onesie reading “My Two Moms Support Obama”

-- A $20 children’s onesie reading “My Two Dads Support Obama”

-- A $30 t-shirt reading “I’m Out for Obama”

-- A $30 t-shirt reading “Obama Pride”

-- A $30 t-shirt reading “DADT Repealed 12.20.2010” DADT stands for Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

-- A $10 can coozie reading “LGBT for Obma”

-- A $40 Party Pack featuring a t-shirt, stickers, car magnet, bumper sticker, and buttons reading “LGBT for Obama

Obama's sideline business is exempt from all the new regulations being thrust upon small business owners.

I can't wait to see the "movies" and other entertainment values this administration will be selling next.

How about a Movie showing how many young boys died from aids or committed suicide from Harvey Milks Adventures??

Maybe George Clooney or Tom Hanks could provide the compelling narrative showing why this HERO is honored in California.

The TRANSPARENCY this administration promised is coming to full FRUITition.

(puns intended).

All of these "new" items - are in full stock! (chuckle) how long did it take to prepare to manufacture all of this new inventory that magically - suddenly just appeared in just two days time?

So it is okay that every other presidential candidate raise money for their campaign except Obama.

Lets see, the definition of discrimination is the treatment of similarly situated individuals differently.

Yeah, we all know what makes Obama a different case in your mind.

Even worse when independent people are selling things that are not disparaging Obama.

I'd like to see some proof other than the OP's article on the right wing site that the official Obama campaign store is selling those items listed in the OP. I just looked and I can't find them there. For example, the OP claims the campaign is selling $20 children’s onesie reading “My Two Dads Support Obama but check out the link below and they don't appear on the baby page at the official Obama store. Cafe Press is selling them BUT they are in no way connected with the campaign. They'll sell anything for anyone or any party. Do Republicans even remember what it's like to tell the full truth without shading it to suit their agenda? The official store has one page of LGBT stuff but that's been there for a very long time---I think since the last election. (second link)

Wayland Woman, from your first link if you do a search for LGBT the line pops up. First attempt was successful.

That being said, I really do not see what the problem is with selling crappy products. Both sides do it. Another silly thread.

Thanks. I stand corrected. I don't see a problem selling this stuff either. I collect pin backs from both political parties going back to prohibition days. The LGBT political stuff is just another sign of the times.

Are you jealous because Willard hasn't figured out how to make as much money as Obama has for his campaign?

Yeah, it's not just silly, it's stupid.

Really, does anyone care if Obama or any other candidate sells stuff?

Also, this really shows just how prejudice the OP is.

You guys missed the point COMPLETELY.

Nobody cares that he's selling stuff.

The point is that the whole "Obama supports gay marriage" thing was supposed to have been spontaneous and due to a "gaffe" by Biden. The fact that he's got a ton of merchandise ready to sell, based on a position supposedly driven by this "gaffe" and the subsequent "spontaneous" admission, a mere two or three days afterwards, is demonstrative of the FACT that there was nothing spontaneous about it. This was very, very obviously well planned and executed "spontaneity."

Where are the "Jaywalking Allstar" shirts? Can one buy an offical "O-bot manual'? Can one purchase the glasses that alow you to clearly know what is in a transcript that you have never seen?
