or better yet, eared for her pleasure
 
Is there a clever satirical metaphor that I'm failing to grasp, or is it just politicion + johnny = funny?
 
It is more the fact that someone would sell condoms named after the President. The punch line is to "use with good judgement", which is an obvious allusion to Obama's good judgement.

Looks like it would be pretty effective birth control. I know that seeing Obama's face on a condom would ruin the mood for me. I mean, he's not unattractive, but he's not exactly a sex symbol either. They say the taller candidate usually wins, but I'm wondering if it has more to do with the big ears. :rolleyes: (Actually, thinking of any politician in the midst of sex would ruin the mood for me, I think. Except maybe John Edwards...he's a pretty good looking guy.)

They could do a whole line of them. "Time for a Change" would be great for the polygamists. :biggrin:

And for those who are earning over $250K, "Prepare to get shafted."
