Runway To Win T-Shirts, Totes Debut On Obama Website (PHOTOS)

If you're not in the mood for a Rick Santorum sweater vest (or a Mitt Romney presidency), there's an easy, fashion-friendly way to make a change: buy Obama t-shirts!

As we mentioned on Monday, President Obama has launched Runway to Win, a new campaign wherein fashion designers create Obama-inspired tees, tote bags and accessories. Buy a long-sleeve Jason Wu tee or a Diane Von Furstenberg bag for $85 and you'll be donating to the Obama 2012 campaign.

So the real question is: what will you buy?? The Proenza Schouler boys whipped up a dark gray graphic tee and Thakoon went with a floral-printed scarf. We personally love the cropped long-sleeve tee by Tracy Reese -- perfect for hitting the gym (or laying on our sofa).

Some of the designers haven't yet posted their items -- we're still awaiting a design from Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig of Marchesa (a sequined Obama tutu, perhaps?) and what will inevitably be a soft-as-butter tee from Alexander Wang.

But most of the designs are already up and available for pre-order today (items will ship in early February) on Donate.BarackObama.com/Runway-to-Win. In the meantime, take a look below -- which designer's gear strikes your politically-minded fancy?

WoW, I sure hope somebody runs for President that is for the people, like me who has worked all my life, supported and raised a family, and now supporting my grandson, right now I see no one the states want that will help us, let alone the people who are really being fooled by all this talk. OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW.

Does his ears fit on the t shirt, or is it a attachable extra?

They may be collector items one day. Unless we have a worse president(i dont see that happening) the value will keep going up.

This just makes me want hm to be a one-termer even more, just because of smugness like this.

really ? after the last 3 years ? well, i do admit the republican candidates are making fools of themselves but i predict somewhere near the convention either Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio or maybe both will finally run and that will pull most people together. just a guess.

Why would I shell out money like that for something to use when I run out of T.P.?

They will wear hand me downs. He had a base. those who pay no taxes. Many of those are now people with no jobs. Lets get a leader that wants to build this country not one whose czars (GE President) that moves jobs over seas. Now, that is what I call getting help from people that really want to build this counry. GE pays no taxes and has more people working in other countries
than they do in the USA.
