The Obama 2008 presidential campaign poster blends two of America's favourite foods for a satirical electoral fashion statement. The folks over at Zazzle have created this tee-shirt for snack-food-loving Barack supporters, or perhaps not.

The Obama and Biden Democratic campaign slogan 'Change We Can Believe In' has been slyly altered to the tongue-in-cheek 'Donuts and Bacon 2008, Taste We Can Believe In.'

The resemblance is tasty political fun.
