There are a number of reasons why we have developed the ObamaLlama. The ObamaLlama is a soft, cuddly plush toy that was designed as a fun way of engaging in the excitement of this election cycle. With his big friendly smile, fuzzy llama coat and fun campaign button, ObamaLlama makes for a fantastic gift for the serious political insider or for parents and family members who want to have a unique commemorative token of this momentous election.
On a deeper level, however, there is also a series of serious reasons that are the impetus for ObamaLlama:
First, ObamaLlama avidly supports the Obama campaign for presidency.
Second, because we support Barack Obama for president we wanted to contribute to the spread of his brand of hopeful politics.
Third, Barack Obama is keenly aware of our history as a nation, and he consistently alludes to and references this history; it is the particularly keen awareness of and attitudinal return to the effects of the non-violent workers, students and civil rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s that appeals to the heart of ObamaLlama.
Finally, ObamaLlama was inspired to work in opposition to the name-calling smear tactics of folks who oppose his hopeful brand of politics. ObamaLlama was coined as a way of associating Barack Obama with a more peaceful, wise and diplomatic world figure: the Dali Lama.
ObamaLlama™ is not equating the two, not attempting to make them equal. Instead, the concept that we hope will begin to work is to create a catchy name, image and logo that will function as a positive branding of politicians such as Barack Obama who inspire hope instead of fear, clarity instead of obfuscation, positivity instead of negativity, complexity instead of oversimplified, reductionist communication styles. ObamaLlama's™ mission is to perpetuate these things, the brand of politics embodied in Barack Obama and more.
