GOP convention button asks, "If Obama is president...will we still call it the White House?"
Dallas Morning News reports on a booth at the Texas Republican convention selling buttons asking, "If Obama is President... Will we still call it the White House?"
Pretty tasteless. Who would even think of that?
Of course, they are buttons being sold by Republicanmarket which boasts providing "Patriotic and Republican Products." Maybe they are still behaving in the 19th century.
They had another button which featured Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), with the phrase: "Life's a bitch, don't vote for one."
One said, "Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Deportation."
Another said, "I will hold my nose when I vote for McCain."
I wouldn't be surprised if an Asian-American was running for President, the company would substitute "Yellow" for Yellow House.
At least make it humorous or put some sort of political slogan in a positive way.

"If Obama is President... Will we still call it the White House?" ... wow thats really heavy, like you mentioned "pretty tasteless" but the "slogan" about Mrs. Clinton is not better, i never thought that a propaganda like that is possible in the united states, that goes truely below the belt and for me very flavorless. i mean: "fairplay is the way to go" also in a election campaign. "Is it political correct?"
