[This](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/annewaldron/Picture10.png) is what I have so far. Suggestions (other than shove it up my ass)? Obviously this is pretty sophomoric/sarcastic- is there a better (or another) way to express my displeasure at this ticket? What would _your_ sticker say? ---

Are you trying to influence voters or just express yourself? How about ‘Stop the Creationist party!’ In any case, I’m sure some wallies will call Obama an ‘African-American’ gimmick. ☹ ---

well, I suppose any message on one’s car (or wherever) is ultimately meant to do both (influence and express). I’ve been told this look may be too close to the McC/P logo and may suggest to some I’m trying to call O/B the “gimmick”, so maybe that wouldn’t work. I always wanted to be a good bumper sticker slogan person, but maybe I ought to stick to my day job!😃 ---

I’d second **Voyager** ’s [post here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10172000&postcount=43). “Jesus Christ was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor.” Though it’s a little wordy for a sticker. ---

> [@Beadalin](#): > > “Jesus Christ was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor.” Chop out “Christ” and “Pontius” and it’s snappier. “Jesus was a community organizer. Pilate was a governor.” Although some confused driver might wonder what [Pilates](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Pilates) governed. ---

> [@lalenin](#): > > Wasn’t Pilate a Prefect? I know it would kill your bumper sticker, but that’s the way it goes. Put on an asterisk and the correct title in very small print. And, to be fair, my post gave the proper source for this slogan. I wish I had been clever enough to think it up. ---
