Yesterday marked Obama's first State of the Union address and his first year in office, and let's face it, we're just happy it's anyone but Bush. Not only is he just a cooler guy in general, but he has a cooler name too (rhymes with Bush: smoosh, mush, Hindu Kush).
In contrast, so many cool, positive things rhyme with Obama: mama, drama, Osama (eh, scratch that) and of course LLAMA. Back in 2008, ambitious, forward-thinking supporter Chris Drew started
ObamaLlama(TM) to fundraise for the campaign, selling stuffed llamas with Obama's face on them.
The website gives a few cute reasons why they started selling the stuffed animals: that it's soft and cuddly and makes a great gift for all different people in your life. But then it gets deep. "ObamaLlama was coined as a way of associating Barack Obama with a more peaceful, wise and diplomatic world figure: the Dali Lama." (Dali spelled like the painter, not like the Dalai Lama.)
(Drew, with his ObamaLlamas)
It clearly doesn't take a private university degree to rhyme Obama and llama; they probably even managed to do it on Fox News. A few other people had similar ideas, so for your visual delight, happy 1st anniversary Obama!
Poor Hillary.
