How’s this for a catchy campaign slogan: “I wanna Obama.”
It’s got “Oprah-audience-jingle” written all over it. And Michael Glotzer hopes it takes off, too. The self-described “buyer of art, antiques and unique objects for clients in New York & Los Angeles” purchased the domain name www.iwannaobama.com last week and he’s looking to sell it, “if the offer is reasonable” (David Plouffe, are you listening?).
“I was driving down the street the other day,” Glotzer told Yeas & Nays in an e-mail, “when I saw a funny George Bush bumper sticker. … I continued my drive and started to think of clever Obama names. I thought back to a talk show (Conan or Leno) where Obama spoke of Bush not ever remembering his name and calling him ‘Bama’ or ‘The Rock’ and all of a sudden, it hit me! iwannaobama.com. How funny and catchy! So, I went to godaddy.com and couldn’t believe it was available. Additionally, I bought a few others. uwannaobama.com, Obamatherock.com, etc.”
Glotzer says he’s already received a few offers but hasn’t accepted any yet.
