Hat tip to Salt Lake Tribune political blogs, http://blogs.sltrib.com/utahpolitics/2008/06/holy-sock.htm.Apparently, David and Elizabeth Lawson of West Jordan have come up with a clever monkey-making scheme for this election. Yes, I said "monkey". Check out their website. http://www.thesockobama.com/index.html where you can order their "TheSockObama" cute stuffed monkey toy.
And I hope everyone reading this will join me in emailing the company to let them know how patently offensive their little joke is: customerservice@thesockobama.comCelebrating The Wonderful Achievements of Barack Obama
It is with great pride that we are able to present this cute and cuddly toy to you. The three reasons we made it our goal to create this toy are:
1) To provide a cute and cuddly toy for the millions of Obama fans to take a little piece of their favorite candidate home with them. We are proud of Obama's achievements and want to share that with other people.
2) The political process can be confusing for adults, let alone children. This toy will introduce young people to a successful man in American history and introduce children to the political process with a cuddly plush toy all their own.
3) And of course we wanted to create a presidential election memorabilia to sell and this is our creation.
We hope you love the Obama toy as much as we do.

Thanks for the tip. I sent them an email. Must be some of those racist Mormons I encounter from time to time.
Yes, being they are in Chris Buttars' district, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. But incidents like this make me embarrase for our state and for Mormons.
