NBC selling “Yes we did” t-shirts
Barack Obama’s campaign slogan “Yes we can!” became “Yes we did!” on November 4, 2008, thrilling his supporters nationwide.
Evidently, NBC also was quite pleased with the win, and the news network is still celebrating.
NBC is selling “YES WE DID” t-shirts online as well as at its Manhattan company store in Rockefeller Center.
“We,” NBC? Do you have a mouse in your pocket or are you just admitting how deep you’re in the tank for Obama?
Unlike the DVD NBC hawked back in November as “commemorative” to celebrate Obama’s “victorious history-making win,” the t-shirt is actually claiming success.
The store also features Barack and Michelle magnets, fit in between “Saved by the Bell,” “Superstar” and “The Tonight Show” memorabilia.
However, the t-shirt, above all, has the appearance of impropriety for a network that claims to report news and not just opinion and commentary. The implication of selling a “YES WE DID” t-shirt is that NBC was an active participant in helping the campaign as much as anyone who worked on the campaign staff, or, in the least, was an active supporter of Obama’s run.
