[T-shirt and Sneakers]

A t-shirt and sneakers has always been the unofficial uniform symbolizing a laid-back American street style. Everybody's got their favorite T- could be that simple white Hanes that cost you 2.99 or an exquisitely hand painted or airbrushed masterpiece that set you back $100. This being an election year, and given the state of the American economy, political tees are wildly popular and highly visible. The choice of most political T-shirt wearers is clear- Obama is the man. Obama's face and message of change is being screen-printed onto shirts all over the country and they are selling like hotcakes from internet sites, corner stores, and bodegas alike. Artists like Shepard Farey and Van Taylor have designed images to adorn clothing and shoes supporting Obama. Regular vendors have jumped on the bandwagon too- bootleg Obama shirts are available in most hoods. Whatever version you rock- official issue, bootleg, or even homemade- there's no better way to show your support for Obama- except voting! -CleverGypsy
