Times Square Billboard of Obama Draws White House Ire

Fox News: The latest celebrity ad to grace a Times Square billboard doesn't feature an athlete, rock star or actor. It's President Obama sporting a black jacket made by the company Weatherproof. But the White House isn't happy about the newest exposure, saying the president's image -- captured by The Associated Press during his November trip to the Great Wall in Badaling, China -- is not supposed to be used for commercial purposes.

Dear Weatherproof, I have NO interest in your product BECAUSE he wore it!

1. I don’t care what celebrities do, or say, or endorse!
2. Obammy is not a celebrity, he is a miserable politician, a proven liar, awaiting oath keepers to take out the TRASH!

It’s almost like Obama was more of a media celebrity than a President.

“And the White House is NOT happy about it.”

Sure. Right. Boy there’s just no lie to big they won’t try to feed to us.

bitterweed   January 6th, 2010 - 9:05 pm

I would have sworn that this is exactly what Obama wants..just like Mao..his picture everywhere..gazing down on his subjects.

Anyway, what’s the big deal..? They are allowing the Food Network to use the White House for programming..everything’s for sale with this trash..

The American voters who elected this no class couple have surely cast this nation’s pearls before swine.

Something tells me Obama won’t be suing the Weatherproof company. Pleeeze – as if they used his image without permission. Come on!!!

How smarmy! What a disgusting display of vanity!

txmike   January 6th, 2010 - 9:33 pm

This would have been an ideal photo-op for obama to do his trademark Mussolini Nose up in the air head slightly left or right of center.

NEOFREEDOM   January 6th, 2010 - 9:34 pm

With the little black coat on and the Great Wall behind him, MAOBAMA should be holding the MAO’s little RED book !

A PERFECT MATCH !

Something our founding fathers would have said, “WTF”….truly shameful with or without Obarfa’s permission…

for all of you who do not know on obama’s first day in office
obama issued EXECUTIVE ORDER #13489. GO CHECK IT OUT.
very easy to find, just do a search via any search engine.

obama’s first act in office was to keep all private information
about him a secret – as much as is still secret?
THIS IS WHO YOUR SO-CALLED PRESIDENT IS. think about that for
a few seconds. name ONE president in our history who has done this.
and ask yourself another question. WHY?
this country has problems we cant even begin to fathom.
we have a big mystery sitting in the oval office with secrets to our
entire nation…. if that doesnt scare the living daylights out of you,
it outta.

getta outta here with that   January 6th, 2010 - 10:26 pm

his image without permission?
isnt he a lawyer?
he is a public figure……….??????

To the idiot who posted the comment about Executive order 13489 – did you even bother to read it or did you just take the word of some other idiot about what it does. The first thing it did was to revoke the Bush administration’s Executive Order 13233 that severely limited access by the public to presidential records.

The language in the Obama executive order is similar to Executive Order 12667 issued by President Reagan in 1989 which was also in effect during the presidencies of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. The Reagan executive order was revoked when President Bush issued EO 13233 in November 2001.

The Obama executive order restores the presumption that the incumbent president, not former presidents, their heirs or designees should be the one asserting claims of executive privilege. The executive order states that only “living” former Presidents can make claims of executive privilege. This removed one of the most egregious sections of the Bush EO that allowed heirs or designees to make claims of executive privilege for an indefinite period after the death of a former President.

In addition, the provisions in the Bush EO allowing former vice presidents to assert executive privilege are gone. In fact, the Obama EO makes it clear that vice presidential records are to be included under the definition of “presidential records.”

Executive Order 13489 also restores the function of the Archivist of the United States’ as an independent arbiter of initial claims of executive privilege. The executive order assumes the Archivist may release records 30 days after notifying the incumbent and former Presidents unless a claim of executive privilege is made.

Georgie put the more restrictive EO in place to make sure no one could view his fathers records unless Daddy said it was OK. Obama actually RELAXED the access requirements

I am so happy to see this! My wife bought one for me and her brother for Christmas. We will be returning them ASAP.

It needs the joker makeup bahahaha

dmdaughertyColorado   January 7th, 2010 - 12:28 am

executive order 13489, never heard that until now….this is very scary and Im afraid for our country…..Manchurian candidate?
will search this out and Im afraid of what it is I will find or not find. Why would the President of the United States hide it is, who he is and, what he where he is from? Government employee has to fill out background forms and lists all types of information regarding homes, education, family members, travel etc….. and so on…….
I think deception, harmful intentions and destruction of this country….
I worked as a federal agent with TSA and i had to give background info on my parents……
stop the madness or there will be trouble in the streets…..

Real_frustrated   January 7th, 2010 - 12:35 am

DMdaughertyColorado
Its a little late to be afraid – this has been policy since the Reagan administration. In fact this oder recinded the more restrive order that Geogie had put in place. Please read my previous post

dmdaughertyCOLORADO   January 7th, 2010 - 12:43 am

Im afraid your correct and thats a crime even if done by a repub…will do sir.
Hiding the past or present from the country is immoral and shows us only they are hiding things they dont want us to know.
thx.
still afraid and searching the truth out here!!!!

Jana   January 7th, 2010 - 1:05 am

I guess they are just making it easier for me as a consumer, to make sure I do not purchase anything that is “endorsed” by this present resident of our White House. Weatherproof wear? no thanks, I’ll buy anything else.

claspur   January 7th, 2010 - 1:14 am

HEY!

Where’s all that US-payer Tax Money going right Now? Tax-care? Medical Care?

It’s going to feed a Jack-booted Thug Military complex,in this nation.
Pack your boots boys and girls….it’s time to go away.
What’s funny about that last line is, ten years ago, anyone typeing that was nuts.
Just look around now, if you aren’t paying attention yet?

This is a Bad – on How Germany was taken over. Only today, you have a globalist Super-structure running The Whole Show, as all you Sheeple go to sleep.

What gets me is; isn’t that what the Liberals were complaining-with Bush about? Nazism?

The next Globalist take-over attempt…you think They’ll just start with banning the Fast Food industries?
Of course They won’t…that’s one of a major tool to get you to die slowly.

How’s everyones’ food tasteing tonight? You able to sleep okay? How’s your kids feeling with-what They ate tonight? …just saying

Pay attention now…really close attention now, over the next couple months.

The only thing the white house is pissed off about is the residuals structure the president and first lady are getting. Hey Rohm here’s another crisis—don’t let it go to waste.

claspur   January 7th, 2010 - 2:28 am

Ugg….and I don’t mean the boots. What a waste of time to pull-up.

MUCK FEXICO II   January 7th, 2010 - 6:36 am

Queen Pelosi…Barb Boxer Dorector of Western Directorate…Harry Reid, Czar of Gambling…and on it will go. You will live for their matrix…only to serve it as tax dollar p[rovider. Never to enjoy the fruits of your labor…they enjoy them…suckers.

No way would I ever purchase anything from this company. Who’s the Einstein that thought an empty suit wearing their crap was a good idea?

Another company boycotted.

BTW, Zero should be labeled “TEFLON” since he blames every one but himself for everything gone wrong.

The hardest working President is in the White House. You know he’s black. The mofo LOOKS GOOD and he is fine and one of the smartest men in the world. You know he’s black. Keep up the good work Mr. President. If the bitter white folks , ( tea party, repubs,) hate Obama, he must be doing something right. Health care, jobs, then right before the elections, boom, DADT. God bless our president. GOP, you know he’s black . Get use to it. And he looks good in that jacket. I bet sales go up.

Hey, Buggey   January 8th, 2010 - 4:28 am

Buggey, clearly and sadly, you’ve got BUGS for brains.
Or do your BUGS refer to:

DADT, indeed!
