Obama : Prosper T-Shirt by Paul Baines

Live Long and Prosper With Obama! Yes yet again I am submitting another design to Threadless.com – it’s almost like a lottery to me, taking a punt, a gamble on my own talents. Threadless are asking for political t-shirts whilst the US political elections are running and so I thought I’d chip in. Besides I was inspired by the tees I featured at Thriving Ink and thought what the hell.

I know I’m British, I know it’s none of my business, I’ve probably annoyed someone or even everyone with this design but I’m not a great fan of politicians as it happens. I’ve lived through the Thatcher government and the Blair government here and now our current PM is telling us not to waste food, this isn’t The Blitz Mr. Brown, if only the idiot had managed to make good on some of Blair’s promises we might not be in this schtuck right now.

Anyway good luck with the elections USA, let’s hope whoever you choose doesn’t decide to start another war, besides the enormous ethical arguments, I don’t think we could afford another one. It’s easier and cheaper to declare war on poverty or obesity, or something abstract that cannot retaliate, and in general will actually kill anyone in the process.

If it’s of interest, I don’t think that Barack Obama looks like Spock, (although Spock would be a very cool politician – though he’d find the whole process of government highly illogical). I just think Barack would fit in really well on the USS Enterprise, boldly going where no African American has gone before ;)
