The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers mug

Nickname for former US President Barack Obama that originates in the Bill Ayers 2008 presidential election controversy. Bill Ayers is a Chicago-based college professor who lived in the same neighborhood in Chicago as Obama and they were friendly with each other. Ayers was a 1960s radical who was a member of the militant leftist group the Weather Underground in his youth. The fact that he and Obama were on friendly terms, although both men denied being friends, helped fuel right-wing conspiracy theories that Obama was a radical leftist like Ayers and that Ayers had mentored Obama and was guiding Obama to destroy the US from within his position of power. Ayers said that he got along well with Obama when they saw each other at local social events, but that Obama was not a radical, even though he wished that Obama was a radical and that he did not have any influence over Obama's ideology. The term "The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers" is a play on words referencing the popular 90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air about a young black man who moves to the tony Los Angeles neighborhood of Bel-Air to live with wealthy relatives after getting in trouble in his inner-city neighborhood in West Philadelphia. In this play on words, Obama is the "fresh prince" of radical leftist Bill Ayers who they think is dangerous and now has access to power through Obama. Of course, none of these irrational fears, false claims and conspiracies came to fruition and Obama was a rather moderate president.

It was for a friends 70th b-day. When we order it, it was going to come 2 day after the party. But we were so excited it came 3 days before his party. It was a big hit. Thank you.

I gave it as a gift and the recipient loved it. No indication where it was made, so maybe USA? That would be really nice, if so.

I really like the mug, but I thought I had ordered the all pink one. What came was a white with a block of pink with "Fubar" written on it.

the only reason why i care about humanity this mug is the reason why i believe humanity deserves a second chance, even after they blaspheme my name. this mug is the greatest thing i've ever seen and i have ordered many of them. this mug replaces the holy grail. the bible should've told about the wonderful deeds of the mug and how it saved humanity from my wrath. alas, whilst the laws keep me from tampering with human minds and altering holy objects like the bible, i can only pass on my message: "spread the news and buy this mug!"

The mug is of good quality but advertisement needs to change as the sample photo for ordering gives the customer an illusion that the entire mug is of that color ordered when it is not
