McCain Camp Hands Out Anti-Obama Cufflinks

Reuters:

Good or bad, you can't accuse the John McCain campaign of not having a sense of humor.

The Republican presidential candidate's staff handed out cufflinks -- yes, cufflinks -- on Tuesday to surprised reporters with an unexpected decoration on top: a mock presidential seal for rival Democrat Barack Obama and the Illinois senator's web site.

That's not all. On the back, carefully engraved, were the words "The One."

lol this is truly funny. A little bit of an arrogant move on his part though. I would never vote for an arrogant president therefore would be sporting these cufflinks:
democratic cufflinks

McBush AKA Mc L i a r and his side kick and VP choice Sarah McBlunder and his gang of thugs are gonna hit us with everything they have this month! We need to flood Obama's campaign through the home stretch with as much money as we can give through October. Let's get energized people and show McBush how strong we really are! We all started very strong and now we all have to pick up even more steam and finish what we started, our families and our soldiers are counting on us to fight the good fight to the end! Let's start making this about the Economy, Health Care, Equal Pay, Education, Etc and we will win this Election! Keep donating and volunteering. Like I said my family and I have donated a $150 dollars and we do this every month, even my thirteen year old daughter and my seven year old daughter are engaged in this Election and have took money out of their piggy banks to help invest into a better future for not just them but for everyone that believes in Fairness, Justice, Equality and Hope in America. I've always told my children this when they started school, you always start strong and you always end strong. Obama/Biden/08

Pass this along to ten other people....

I don't get how this is ANTI?

As an Obama supporter, I think this is pretty cool and I'd gladly take a pair (yes I'm a nerd who actually wears cufflinks sometimes).

[jurornumber13]

His name is Obama say it loud and say it proud dont fall in to the That one game with them. If they cal led him a sl ur would you con tinue to rep eat it and pr int t sh irts with that slur??

I don't get it?
I would think that handing out cufflinks of your opponents seal along w/ a message saying "The One" would probably have the opposite effect of what you were hoping.

Looks like another plus in Obama's book to me!

[Shinto]

I agree with Pupadup40 on this one. I wish I could get one. After Nov 4, It could become a collector's item.

Nor do I, but it's really amusing. This "great sense of humor" McSame is supposed to possess is quite HIL-ARIOUS. Off kilter as hell, but damn funny.

In my biz that's called free advertising for "the one". I hope they give O a pair, he can wear them to the inauguration.

[BlackJAC]

Who handles the comedy writing at McCain Campaign Headquarters, David Zucker and Buzz Killington? "Yeah, we'll mock Obama by making ironic cufflinks depicting him as President!" Ten bucks says Obama will be wearing a pair himself on his own tuxedo during the inaugural ball.

[Whinger]

Infantile mentality, but ultimately revealing their true colors!

[SeanHannity4Obama]

Nasty

[SeanHannity4Obama]

'The one,' to go in tandem with 'that one'

[GoBarryGo]

This is funny or "insulting" why, exactly? I mean, I get that it's stupid, but what is the attempted point they are trying to make. Seriously... anyone?

yeah I'm thinking Joe Six Pack doesn't wear cufflinks on a routine basis.....talk about elitist.

[Colmore]

Cuff-links? Another sign that they are out of touch with regular people.

[Pupadup4oBama]

out of touch w/ "Joe-six pack" who probably can't afford a suit to wear with those cufflinks and out of touch w/ women who don't WEAR them, period!

[HeIsTheOne]

Another childish manuever. This will backfire. Those cufflinks will be on ebay next week for hundreds of dollars.

They are now symbols, like a trophy, of the Obama win.

[standard]

It may be part of a series of items that only an addled Republican patrician would think useful: Obama campaign-logo yacht fenders, Obama-Biden silver-gilt champagne buckets,sets of "Yes we can" caviar forks in platinum, Obama '08 Faberge egg display cases, signed and numbered limited edition calligraphic "Change we can believe in" place cards, hand-embroidered "Si se pueda" smoking jackets. That sort of thing.

Nominating for VP a clueless, air-headed Alaskan hockey mom for whom one of America's most intelligent comedic actresses is a dead ringer? Now THAT's a gift that keeps on giving. So we really ought not to accept the cufflinks: those thoughtful old Republicans have done more than enough for us already!
