This photo came to my attention on Facebook. It seems to be a legit Getty image photo and not a photoshop.
I found one possible contact information for the photographer, Jamie Sabau, and requested verification on the photo’s authenticity. Aside from the simple blurb caption, there doesn’t seem to be anything else on the person wearing this shirt.
If this person was wearing such a shirt, did anyone in his vicinity say anything to him? Were there no reporters flocking to interview him and give him the national spotlight? Did the photographer not think it worthwhile to get the guy’s name and interview him, himself?
It’s a disgusting t-shirt.
The only ones who seem to be giving this a heck of lot of buzz and attention are liberal sites, eager to believe the worst about Republicans and those who support Romney/Ryan and the GOP. They want validation on their beliefs that Republicans are the party of racists.
The only merchandise I could find while searching for a possible manufacturer seems to be an anti-Palin seller, using the line.
It seems, sometimes, like this country gave the black guy a chance to try to pull us out of the greatest, scariest financial crisis since the Great Depression. He did that. And now that we’re not so scared anymore, we’re ready to toss him aside for whatever safe, nonthreatening white guy who looks like all the other Presidents comes along.
Good grief…the comments being generated by this on liberal blogs are just asinine.
If anyone cares to do further research on the story behind the photo and discovers new information, pipe in.

I should have thought to include this last night when posting: An example of another photo that I saw one of my liberal FB friends “liking” from some FB page a few days ago:
A really simple Google search revealed that it was indeed a photoshop. The FB page, however, was posting it up as if real, duping a number of all-too-willing believers (who will undoubtedly spread the lie around).
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
@Wordsmith:
Given that the only objective the “Mainstream” has is to mold me into a mind-less zombie who parrots what ever they tell me to think, I could care less what they want me to “understand”. I don’t want to “understand” them, I want to “defeat” them and going along with the collective “group-think”, as you have chosen to do, is not the path I follow.
You “understand” them, I’m busy mocking and deriding them.
No one here thinks you should vote for someone based on race. With that said, they have a right to do so. We have the right to say it’s short sighted and even dispicible.
@Nan G:
Honestly, Nan, who cares? Don’t play their game. They set the rules, rules designed that they always win.
So why play their game.
@Ivan:
The TEA Party rallies finally had to use INFILTRATOR signs.
Whenever someone made a fuss who was NOT WITH US he was identified as such.
That stopped the crazies really fast.
IF this guy is really just a Romney supporter because he wants a white back in the White House, that is his right…..he can vote however he wants for why ever he wants.
But perhaps infiltrators will have to be outed publicly, as the Unions are penalizing some members over $250 for NOT showing at rallies!
Nan G
THE UNIONS penalizing 250$ for not showing on RALLIES,
that make me mad, they really are COMMUNIST AND PLUS,
AND DESPERATE SOB
Wordsmith
the picture you have with the t-shirt was just a while ago shown on the FIVE
bye
The T-shirt really should say, “It’s Time to put some intelligence back in the White House.” That is really the crux of the matter- as for this guy, if this is NOT photo-shopped, all it proves is that there are whackos in both parties, but the ratio is greater in the liberal sphere.

yes it should have said that,
but when we think about one fact in their favor, they seems to have
the magic secret, to have escape the propaganda of
this regime in power to integrate so many young AMERICANS IN ONE IDEOLOGY
IS IN IT.
BYE
I have never lived in a town like Lancaster Ohio. If your black don’t expect to get any services that the VA or the State say that are there if you if your on disability. Its a fight every place I go. The church I attend is a wonderful place to worship but outside I have been called the N word I have heard people describe are President has a monkey. There”s not a day goes by that I see moving here as I big mistake.
