... Mr. Mike Norman, a Marietta, Ga., bar owner who is selling t-shirts with "Obama '08" printed on the front -- along with a cartoon monkey eating a banana.
Norman says he printed and started selling the t-shirts because he thinks Obama looks like the character Curious George. But we all know the real reason, and he thinks he's being funny. Well of course, Mr. Obama Monkey T-Shirt Maker's attracted all kinds of negative attention to himself, and it's well deserved. ...
Anyway, who is he to talk? If you look at him, he looks like one of the albino monkeys from the original "Planet of the Apes."
This probably won't be the last shot taken at Obama as he gets closer to the Democratic Nomination, and the 2008 election.
Besides, Obama doesn't look like Curious George. He really does look like Fred Armisen from "Saturday Night Live."
Obama: Political and Chic
Unlike the promo tees of other candidates, Obama items are very popular. Halle Berry greeted the paparazzi in this sporty shirt to display her support of Barack. (Photo: E.L. Woody King Paparazzi, Splash News)

This version of the sneakers are $225 pair. Another version with less detail, "but equal effectiveness" according to Van, go for $125. A portion of the proceeds for the sale of these sneakers will go to the Obama campaign. (Photo: Van Monroe)
Van says: "I have received orders from Los Angeles to the Middle East to Australia" for the shoes. A must for any serious Obama supporter! (Photo: Van Monroe)
If hoodies and tees are key to your fashion sense, the brother-sister team at Barackawear have the looks for you. Lorielle and Brandon Broussard wereinspired to create their line after seeing Obama speak at a rally in Austin. About working with her brother, Lorielle says: "We can always be honest with each other and we most definitely have a lot of the same goals for our company." (Photo: Barackawear,Inc.)
A stylist to Ciara, Lorielle recommends: "Rock your Barack the Vote tee or hoodie at at rally or in a voting booth. ;-) I like to wear mine with my favorite pair of jeans and either some fresh sneakers or some heels, for when I'm out and about." (Photo: Brandon Broussard, Barackawear, Inc.)
Yes We Can -- be stylish and political! Look out for Barackawear baby clothes for the precocious infant. The team also plans to produce a line of denim in the next month. (Photo: Brandon Broussard, Barackawear, Inc.)
