F the President; a blog

F the Election; Millions ready to replace W stickers

The Supreme Court hasn't weighed in (yet) on the 2008 Election, but all the major television networks are calling the transformative Presidential election for "The One".

Over the past four years, FthePres have been non-partisan -- despite our counter-culture approach -- and challenged the blind faith in the Leader of the Free World. Now OUR allegiance shifts... and so do the millions of people who have W stickers on the tail end of their vehicles. Many will order "F" replacement stickers!!!

On ABC News tonight around 9:30p CT in Chicago, Oprah Winfrey said:

"I haven't seen this sense of unity since 9/11, really, really and 9/11 was this tragic experience that brought us all together and now we're all brought together IN THE NAME OF HOPE. Not since 9/11 have I experienced anything even kinda close to this."

We're guessing she hasn't seen the Electoral Map, because 40-50% of the voting public cast their lot against the President Elect. This is far from "unity". Affected citizens can express their anger about this shift of power through purchase of products at the FthePres.com website.

As George W. Bush passes the mantle to Barack H. Obama on January 20th 2009, so do the previous supporters of the "F the President" bumper sticker, coffee cup, t-shirts and other merchandise. See these and other products at http://www.fthepres.com.

On the Campaign Trail in Athens, Ga.

We're mentioned in yet another newspaper article:

And to those who wrote to complain about the "F--- Obama" bumper stickers, where have you been for eight years? People all over Athens have had "F The President" stickers on their car windows that mimic the "W" stickers many Republicans had. I don't recall any of you complaining about those stickers or what they taught 13-year-olds.

F the President stickers vandalized

This came in today from a customer of ours...

Hi folks,

Just thought you might be interested, in case you're keeping track of such things.

I've had my "F the President" sticker that I got from y'all several years ago, soon after you started offering them (I think). It's sat undisturbed on the back of my car for lo these many years. Until a few days ago.

On Friday, I noticed that someone had vandalized my sticker. Picture here:

There were a few other scratches on my car, too, but this was the most targeted area.

We're pissing people off, so we must be doing something right. ;)

Out of curiosity, ARE you keeping track of how many of your stickers get destroyed?

Keep up the good work!

best wishes,

Laura

Our favorite comment?

I wanted to follow the guy and give him a big hug and a kiss.

Memo to Hillary: You're playing a dangerous game

Is she? Well, clearly Jon Friedman thinks so. Read his diatribe here and note he states we've been saying "F the President" since the 1960's. Who new?

Black & White of Birmingham mentions our F stickers

It may have been earlier this year, but we just heard about it. The Black & White newspaper of Birmingham Alabama mentioned our F the President sticker in an article titled A Bright Blue Dot Brings Political Hope. It talks about the "bright blue dot" bumper stickers of our brothers and sisters to the west. Here's what it says:

“I went back and forth about it because I don’t like the divisiveness that is so often a part of our country’s politics, but being in such a conservative state it’s easy to feel like you’re the only one who thinks more liberally,” she says. A lifelong fan of bumper stickers, Lasseter says she first considered a more extreme message against the current administration. “The stronger ones, like ‘F the President,’ I actually agree with, but as a mother I have to explain those things to my children, so I decided to go with the blue dot.”

We're happy that there's an alternative, but nothing gets the point across like OUR stickers.

F the Stamps

Check out our new product! Add a message to every envelope you send by placing this sticker on your envelope, postcard, or package and then adding the appropriate amount of postage.

F-Babe!

We're honoring Lisa Simmons as our honory F-babe. This photo makes it plenty obvious, here posing with her sticker on her late-model BMW. A story in today's Austin Chronicle, "Skies Partly Cloudy," opens with the following quote:

There is an "F the President" bumper sticker on the rear window of Lisa Simmons' aging BMW. She's a single mother, a divorced transplant from Los Angeles. Her hair, sometimes streaked with blue, is dark brown today. On her jacket lapel – "Armani," she notes – she sports a wide white-and-blue Air America button, which she wears always, everywhere.

Lisa, we think we're in love.

Cheney's Failure to Shoot Straight Commemorated

Washington, DC (PRWEB) February 20, 2006 -- Vice President Dick Cheney’s handling of information relating to his quail hunting accident exposes his and the White House’s attitude toward secrecy. PoliticalSquares.com believes this secrecy constitutes a fundamental lack of forthrightness and a failure to shoot straight with the American people.

FthePres.com has commemorated this widely held public opinion with a new product offering, now available at PoliticalSquares.com. New anti-Cheney "C" bumper stickers that resemble "W" and "F" black stickers have been created and are ready for ordering and rapid shipment.

Peppering 78-year-old attorney Harry Whittington with birdshot from a 28-gauge shotgun is no small matter — especially when that feat is accomplished by the Vice President of the United States. The people have a right to know whenever their elected leaders are involved in any event that might have legal, ethical or moral implications. This includes everything from draft dodging and DUI to CIA leaks, illegal lobbying, and shootings.

For the VP’s refusal to promptly come forward and explain what happened lends ever more credence to charges that the White House remains a very closed and private place. FthePres.com gives Dick Cheney a grade of ‘F’ on forthrightness. This follows closely on the heals of the awarding to George W. Bush of the same grade after the failed State of the Union address earlier this month.

Citizens across the country can join in echoing their displeasure by adorning the bumpers of their vehicles with the new "C" sticker. Visit www.PoliticalSquares.com to view the full product line.
