The Obama Store

I hate to admit this but today was the first day that I looked at Obama and McCain's websites. McCain's website is really well, ugly. It is low tech and feels really old. Obama's is sleek, smart, and links to your entire world (makes sense since he hired the founder of Facebook). There are online tools for you to organize locally (my.barackobama.com) and links to youtube, myspace, facebook, linkedin, blackplanet, asianave, migente, etc. You can get text messages to your phone. Oh, my phone is vibrating, hello Barack!

The most exciting item McCain has in his store is a very sad Palin cap. What does "1 of 2008" mean? The Obama store is so awesome. Obama has art by amazing artists for sale and this section called Runway to Change where designers have created t-shirts, bags, scarves, etc. Designers include Isaac Mizrahi, Rag and Bone, Jeffery Costello and Robert Tagliapietra, Juicy Couture, Tory Burch, Russell Simmons, Pharrell Williams, Vera Wang, Tracy Reese, Jay Z, Zac Posen, Narciso Rodriguez, Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs, etc. I love the Maria Cornejo t-shirt pictured. I love that designers I love love Obama! There's even a "Gear for Less" section with tank tops for $10. N says that she had seen guys in clubs wearing Obama t-shirts that lit up. Can't wait for those to go up in the Obama store!

Before you go, oh, this is just about shopping. That it has nothing to do with the election. I think that this shows that Obama is someone who inspires and who is current. He is someone who can take us into the future, not bring us back. Also, he surrounds himself with great people. He may not know all the answers but he knows who to go to.
