The Obama campaign has already released a theme song and an official cigarette, so I guess it’s appropriate for them to share a 2012 t-shirt for all supporters.
And even though I posted this back in 2010, let’s decide that this is the campaign’s car.
Ah, yes. The Republican Party – made for the exceedingly wealthy and/or the exceedingly dense. Which are you?
That is just a T-Shirt for those stuck in the past. Those who do not see that there is a better world out there. A world of higher production and thus higher prosperity. A world where competent people will now be ever more enthusiastic to wake up in the morning, forego a day filled with a nature walk, the yoga class, the golf course, the backyard BBQ, and leave their children to go to the office, to work an extra two months out of the year for someone else, someone a few streets away, a few blocks away, a few cities away, a few states away. A world where those who now choose mediocrity will be so grateful for the new transfers of wealth that they too will enthusiastically work an extra two months out of the year to show their gratitude. That is the road shown to us by Europe — if only we would just open our hearts and listen. Europe, the continent of the future, the condiment which through solidarity will not only overcome its current problems but also be reborn into a more egalitarian system and push back against those pesky three billion emerging world competitors who seem to be in the beginning stages of adopting evil capitalism.
Just give the Paul Krugman magic wand a chance – and we will create a kinder, gentler world, one with more prosperity — through less effort. The dream can become true, but the HOPE can go on only if you CHANGE – into Europe.
I shouldn’t even laugh.
