Obama-mania seems to have hit everyone, celebrities and common folk alike. The beautiful Halle Berry, for whom many men would crawl on their knees, has gone on record saying about the man: "I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear." If that's not mania, I don't know what is.
Fashion-creators of the world have responded to Obama-mania by making great threads for people to express their love. Three young black entrepreneurs have developed uniquely stylish wares. Check them out in the gallery below.
Love hoodies and tees? Barackawear is by far the best Obama line out there. Sister and brother team Lorielle and Brandon Broussard came out with the line in August of last year with $740 of their own money, and have not looked back. Avid supporters of Obama, they have emblazoned their message across a cute variety of clothing, ordering all to "Barack the Vote!" Having sold close to 10,000 pieces so far to customers all over the world, the duo are so sure that Obama will win the election, they are already planning a post-November line. And no, Hillary t-shirts are NOT available.
Sneaker fanatics, I've got just what you need. Painter, muralist and custom sneaker designer Van Monroe has taken the Barack fashion game to the next level with his incredible custom Obama sneakers. Inspired by his aunt to create a Barack design, Van woke up in the middle of the night to makes the shoes in a fit of creativity. Each pair takes an average of five hours to make, and are only available in a limited edition of 50. Van's story is quickly spreading around the Web -- he has taken orders from everywhere from Los Angeles to Australia -- so get moving if you are interested (contact Van via his MySpace page). Ten pairs have been sold to date, and Obama has been sent the original pair.
Are these Barack fashions for you? Who's side are you on in the elections, and which candidate do you think has the best style? Leave your comments now!

Only in America. Never have I heard such putrid drivel. I hope these innuendoes are enough to land you exactly where you belong - in a lawsuit that keeps you occupied for the next 20 years.

halley berry is just like all obama girls .they want notarioty. obama like a good soldier of muhammad would take them from behind and after he got allahs gifts he will sacrifice them to the gods as they generally do in the islamic boys club to loose women.i say move over mrs obama or take the sword .obama has a lot of plowing to do to these evil temptresses.the evil in halley berry was once accepted in hollywood. muslims don't see it that way .their club says only clerics can enjoy loose sex while the common muslim must die for the privelage .i see it now allah in hell fire dangling a pice of dead meat over the pit waiting for the faithfull muslims to jump in after it .HA! HA!

MY GOD! I've always had my hunches that the Clinton's were somewhat wicked. Before Bill ran for president they were supposingly racist rednecks, but acted like they were minority lovers. They needed the support from minorities in order to get elected, the love was a front. The clinton's kind of remind you of the Kennedy's. By the way, Barack the vote. I Love that man.
