My good buddy (we used to attend church together and his wife and I attended the same bible study) is shaking things up in ObamaLand today.
Cisco Cotto serves at the same Salem Broadcast cluster in Chicago that used to be home to my daily broadcast before being gobbled up by New York City.
Cisco was denied access to trademark the term Obamanation... as in... "It's an Obamanation" (not to be confused with the more supportive sounding ObamaNation.)
Some federal lawyer claimed the phrasing was disparaging to the Junior Senator from Illinois.
I say "pig's eye!!!" Do you think they'd offer the same protection to "Dick Cheney", or "George Bush?"
But this could be good news. Cisco can't trademark it, bad for him, good for the rest of us. Now instead of Cisco and his lovely bride having to crank the "It's an Obamanation" t-shirts out by hand in their basement, we can order them in mass just in time for the nasty rounds of primaries.
