Few politicians have inspired such an amazing array of t-shirts as Barack Obama, here i’ve collected a few of my favorite designs and some that are just worth mentioning due to their sentiment, please link to any more you can find in the comments and i will continue to update the post with more designs to become the increasingly inaccurately named Top Ten list of Obama inspired T-shirts 
From the Sons Of Liberty Barack Is The Future
neighborhoodies has just put up an Advent calender with a different Obama T-Shirt on sale every day until election day
I love, love, love Loyal Army stuff and their Save The Drama 4 Obama is a fantastic design, love the type, the color and the sentiment.

I am a french graphic designer, and i am please to announce the launch of the Obama ‘Yes, we can’ around the world – project :

For hope and for change.The design: A unique, one of a kind graphic is declined in several languages such as chinese, arabic, korean, spanish, hindi… and many more.

Big Obama Head from Stolen Goodies
Mamma’s for Obama (portion of the proceeds going to the Obama campaign)
Obama for the 13th District retro T-shirt

Yes We Can
Oh and if you haven’t checked it out you should take a look at Yes We Carve for some pumpkin carving templates
Drill Palin, Not Alaska from Vintage Vantage
UPDATE: the McCain Obama T-Shirt throwdown, which appears to be a cafepress promotion
Love “Obama Is Money” from Orange Alexander
Gotta love the Dutch, from obamaforpresident.nl via a Dutch T-Shirt blog.
Someone on Madona’s crew obviously shops Etsy this design is sold out right now, but the artist has loads of other great designs you can check out at their Etsy store.

The hoff is epic

Obama 08 … Say No More!

Oh my god, you missed the boat! Everyone on the East Coast and in Europe knows that the best Obama shirts are hand-printed in Manhattan by indie designer Elektra. Madonna has worn her stuff twice in the past 6 weeks because it's so fierce: http://www.coup.etsy.com
totally on my list GoBamaGirl, I had just not updated the post, unfortunately I have a day job
Thanks for the reminder though 
Great post I was gonna do a similar one, but never got around to it. GO OBAMA!
Thanks for throwing a link to my Top 9 list, Karl!
i looooooooooove the blue wings shirt as well as the “save the drama for obama” shirt. for something a bit more sparkly and pretty, though, i have to say this one is a fave: http://sparkle-plenty.com/neswcrobtee.html
http://www.bedfrnt.com/product/dfrnt-presidents... This Barack design is incredibly sweet and to the point, the most artistic so far IMO
I love the Hoff One. Cool Stuff indeed, I think Raptor_Twin Recycled the Ramones seal design well and is a worthy edition

OMG Obama is not listed, but better than the majority of these. Check it out. http://tinyurl.com/omgobama
Hi. We have been some of the oldest supporters and have been making our Barack Star t-shirts since early 2007. We somehow miss these lists, but really do have just about the coolest Obama shirts around. Worn all over the world.
A very popular shirt that we came out with long ago (when the democrats were still going at it) was a pop-art, very colorful image of him, that says “PRESIDENT” underneath. And yes, now we have ourselves a President! President Barack Hussein Obama.
Please visit, at least, and see for yourselves.
Thanks!

Wonderful article, just added the site to my favorites. Thanks so much.
Speaking of Barack Obama:
Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.
George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).
George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.
And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.
Many people know what Bush did.
And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.
Bush was absolute evil.
Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.
Bush is a psychological prisoner.
Bush has a lot to worry about.
Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.
In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
