My NYU proofreading class meets in a classroom in this enormous high school building whose walls are covered with these amazingly kitschy, neon-colored, wacky-font motivational posters like "LISTEN and SILENT Are Spelled with the Same Letters." My favorite thing, however, are these fantastically tacky oval-shape posters, one of George Washington and one of Barack Obama. I tried my very hardest to track down a this Obama portrait online but no variation of "Obama children's presidential classroom poster" would work! My googling exploits did yield these fantastic finds, though:
Yeah. They went there. The whole Obama-theme-product marketing machine freaks me out in a way just because it seems so unprecedented (I don't think there was ever any demand for Barbara and Jenna Bush paper dolls, but did they have this kind of stuff in the 60s for the Kennedys?) and a little overboard . . . but it didn't stop me from buying Rachel some wicked hot
Ojamas for her birthday, or taking note of the fact that
the Michelle Obama issue of O Magazine hits the stands on Tuesday.

If I had a Twitter, it would tweet: I'm just sitting here reading about myself on your blog, drinking tea out of Augusten's face in my Ojamas. And let's face it, the only tweet that tops that is one that involves that Obama coloring book.
oh dear, it's not "a Twitter," it's just Twitter. omg you sound like an old person talking about "an internets"
