International Obama Supporters Say, "Thanks America - We Needed a Change!"

When Obama won the election, I knew that a lot of people in other countries all over the world were celebrating. One of my friends in the Netherlands sent a touching post, and I couldn't miss the news coverage of all the parties.

I kind of missed the boat on how this affected me as an artist and clothes designer, though! That was . . . until my biggest sale. Normally, I get excited if I sell anything. If one person buys two or three products from my store, then I am ready to jump for joy. Imagine how thrilled I was when an Australian woman purchased more than five products! She basically bought every variation of the "Thanks, America - I Needed a Change!" message. Out of respect to her privacy, of course I won't write her name, but I wish I could write a big THANK YOU across the sky for this Aussie lady. Aussie lady, I hope you are very happy with the stuff you bought for Little Democrats down under.

So, I am writing this blog for any other Obama supporters around the world who would like to Thank America for voting for the right president. Cafepress, the company that actually prints the T-shirts and products with my artwork, have recently made their websites even more friendly to international customers. If you click in the little area at the very top right of my store, you can see the prices in current British pounds, Canadian dollars, or Australian dollars. And they are all set up to handle sales to Canada, the UK, and Australia - with tailored payment and shipping procedures in place for you.

Here are pictures of some of my pro-Obama products. JUST CLICK ANY PICTURE TO BUY NOW. You can also check out the Political Section of my store for other great Obama baby clothes and T-shirts for toddlers, kids, and families.

Obama Honeymoon isn't over! Show support for Barack with T-shirts

I can't be the only person annoyed by the media's constant use of the catchphrase: "Is the Obama honeymoon over?" You can hear some of Jon Stewart's thoughts about the Obama Honeymoon here.

When I got married, my husband was very fond of telling people, "The Honeymoon doesn't have to end!" Granted, I think he was focusing on more than that feeling of being flooded with hope and happiness . . . Patrick probably was reluctant to give up the unlimited, free supply of champagne that was provided to us on our honeymoon in Jamaica.

BUT if my somewhat cynical husband could show such a readiness to hold on to hopeful affection, then American Democrats should be able to show continued support for Obama. There's no question that our country is in trouble. That doesn't mean we can't still show love for our leader. Let Obama (and everyone else) see that we are excited about all his unique strengths, and that we have faith he CAN help us make things better.

One way to show support could be to wear one of my original T-shirts. (Obviously, you can send this message in other ways, too!) I wish I had gotten them ready in time for Valentine's Day, but it's never too late to support President Obama. In fact, now that the dancing in the streets has stopped and it seems to be becoming trendy to focus on economic Armageddon, it may be the perfect time to dare to be happy.

CLICK ANY PICTURE TO BUY NOW. I usually focus on creating designs for baby clothes, but this design is definitely more appropriate for teens and adults.





There's even a pillow for those of you who want to dream of Obama bringing about a better tomorrow!
