Does this T-Shirt mean Obama will lose the election?
Posted by: Richie Rich in 2008 MLB Playoffs, Cubs, Jinx, PoliticsI love witty T-Shirts. Ask my wife – she’ll tell you I own way too many of them.
I especially love shirts made by enterprising people (usually bloggers) who keep MLB’s copyright lawyers employed. During my nearly-month long sabbatical from blogging, I chanced upon this shirt … made by people full of hope for the Autumn months of 2008.
Hope for the Chicago Cubs in the 2008 MLB Postseason.
Hope for Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential Campaign.
Uh oh. One Down, One to Go?
The person who put that shirt together must be shivering in terror right now.
Because now that the Cubs blew it … Obama could be jinxed.
If these T-Shirt makers wanted Barack Obama to be President of the United States, they wouldn’t have put Obama’s likeness anywhere near anything even remotely related to the Cubs – because as we all know - anything related to the Cubs seems to wither and die come Autumn.
Then again, maybe that’s Cubs relief pitcher Carlos Marmol on that shirt. Marmol bears a striking resemblance to Obama.
Or maybe the Cubs’ jinxes don’t apply to White Sox fans.
Obama fans better hope so, anyway.

Certainly hope so. Why would anyone in their right mind want Barak HUSSEIN Obama to be president? It is the desire of these people aka fools to want to be taken over by the muslims? The economy is bad enough and when he gets in he will spend, spend, on his giveaway programs and the working class will have to pay for all those people that don’t want to work (You know who you are!) Barak HUSSEIN Obama has connections with terrorists. He is associated with ACORN and that is a disgrace. Wake up, America, we need an AMERICAN for President, Vote McCain.

What a surprise that a comment such as the one above comes from someone named SouthernKnight. Go check the dryer, I think your sheet is dry.

Muslims are not terrorists – why must you be Christian to be the president of the United States? THAT hasn’t been working too well for the working class so far.

Why would anyone want Obama for President anyway? Can you say JIMMY CARTER ‘76 RELIVED multiplied by 1000!? Anyone with any historical sense knows Obama would be the death of us all. If he did get into office, he wouldn’t even make it for a second term. Just like poor ol’e Jimmy and his vow to give tax refunds to Americans making under $30,000 a year. Give me a break! I’m so glad I voted McCain/Palin ‘08! Obamatrons can kiss my rear end! I’m glad when anything in Chicago loses, and I’ll be ecstatic if Obama loses.

Maybe it’s the curse of TRIBUNE that causes the Cubs to suck. They own the team, WGN-TV and WGN Radio. If the Cubs lose again, why don’t the Tribune go out of business, have the FCC revoke WGN-TV and WGN Radio’s license, and have Cubs games air on WTTW, Chicago’s PBS station.
