For starters, I have to go with a video I found posted to Revver a while back, the Barack Obama Song:
I'll admit that I'm still a bit up in the air as to whether or not this is really an endorsement of the man or if it's a parody of the average "youth vote" Obama supporter. I like the think it's the latter, but if this video is intended to be the former, it's the latter anyway. Call this one a "win-win" for my purposes.
On the theme of mindless, unreasoned devotion to the Obamination, which is characteristic of Obama supporters - whom I've come to refer to as "Obamatons" - here's something in keeping with the theme:
Very 1984-ish, which fits well with some of Michelle Obama's quotes about her husband's candidacy, that whole "Obama will make you work" bit. Naturally, the Obamatons cheered for that.
Then there's the mantra that Obamatons ceaselessly chant: "Hope and change! Hope and change!" Never mind that both are rather vague nouns in and of themselves and that as adjectives their desirability is highly subjective, IT'S A MESSAGE!
Since those of us who use our brains probably choked on that last bit of bold text (I almost lost a lung just typing it out, even in sarcasm), here's a pic I found that sums it up nicely, just as we know it to truly be:
That's the long and short of it. Tell a bunch of moonbats that you're for "hope" and that you'll bring "change" and they'll run right off a cliff after some real lemmings. At least the lemmings are meant to do that.
This one is a recent find. I don't know where it came from or who made it, so the best I can do is speculate on its precise meaning. It's a fact that blacks overwhelmingly vote DNC in presidential elections, and maybe this comes with some hesitation over voting for a white candidate. Despite the fact that the DNC has done nothing but screw over the black community in the U.S., it seems the antipathy amongst black voters to the GOP persists, perhaps in particular because of perceived racial favoritism. So with a "black" DNC presidential candidate finally on the scene, but with full public knowledge of his ancestry, maybe that is what is behind this digitrinket:
In any case, the rhyme in it is a catchy slogan.
Finally, I've got this one, which pokes fun at certain slips o' the tongue that have occurred in various public venues during this election cycle:
Just remember, DNC people did this one first.
Finally, while this isn't specifically a bit of anti-Obama internet paraphernalia, it is worth an honorable mention seeing as how it is the official drink of the Obama 2008 campaign:
Just what you need to wet a throat dried by chanting "hope! change! hopeity changechange changity change change!" all day.
That's all I've got for now. If you have any more anti-Obama digitrinkets, please post a link! I think it's still 50/50 that we'll see this guy on the ballot in November, so we might as well have fun with him while he's still relevant.

Well, I hope you feel better after getting that out of your system.
Interesting to see you going against the punditry grain in thinking Obama's chances to get the nomination to be less than 95%. It really is close by the numbers, so that one can be a little surprised by the tide that suggests she should be knocked out by now.
The Democrats are deciding between two polarizers. I guess they want to give the Republicans a chance this year.

I'm kinda thinking that what has happened is that too much has been made of certain elements of his campaign, such as the overwhelming support he enjoys amongst black voters. While it's true that he handily carries some groups, it doesn't work out all that well when one considers the fact that the groups in question are minorities. Meanwhile, with Obama's associates seemingly doing everything they can to piss off white voters (even DNC whites), I think it's likely that he simply won't have enough support to be a real candidate (W. Virginia may demonstrate that today to some extent). This whole superdelegate thing... I guess I expect them to size up the situation in the 11th hour and go, "sorry, but you've got too many bomb throwers in your closet."
But... eh. 50/50 at this point, I think.
