But Thanks for Asking, Says Company

The blogosphere is abuzz! But when isn’t it? At any rate, bloggers and
their readers want to know just what the heck was going on at Barack
Obama’s speech last night. It wasn’t anything that Obama said. Rather,
it was the three guys standing behind him, all decked out in
Abercrombie & Fitch t-shirts. It was practically impossible not to
notice — it didn’t help that one of them broke an unspoken
Obama-supporter rule and showed up with an amateurish handmade sign in
the wrong font. The three A&F amigos were the subject of blog
speculation today. Was it gay outreach or paid product placement? Abercrombie’s official answer (and video) after the jump. (Video)

Tom Lennox, VP-corporate communications for A&F, said the company doesn’t “seek product placement at all.”
He went on: “We appreciate the exposure, but can not take credit for it. So, thanks to the Obama campaign for this great product placement. We wish we had thought of it.”
But lest anyone think that A&F, like the media, is in the tank for Obama, Lennox added, “If Hillary is interested, we have stores all over North Carolina, Indiana and Oregon.”
Lennox, who sounded like he was getting a kick out of the brouhaha, called it a fun, humorous story and said he’d fielded a few calls today from people curious about it.

The Obama campaign didn’t respond to questions.

Beat the Press: High-flying Obama plays to win

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Perhaps Barack Obama’s competitive juices need new outlets now that he has expanded his lead over Democratic presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.

On a five-hour flight from Washington to Oregon late Thursday, the Illinois senator came to the back of his charter plane for a spirited word game against reporters, and it was clear he did not intend to lose.

In “Taboo,” a player under time constraints must prompt teammates to guess words or names without using obvious hints. For instance, in giving clues for “equator,” the player is penalized if he says “Earth,” “center” or “line.”

Obama and a half-dozen aides took on a team of journalists, mostly young TV network reporters who have traveled with him for months. The senator jumped in eagerly and often.

Love, a former football and basketball player at Duke University, took a turn at giving clues, asking for a mall store “where gays go to buy clothes.”

“Abercrombie and Fitch,” answered Obama. Wrong. “The Gap,” teammate Samantha Tubman correctly answered.

WALLACE: Senator, you say a lot of good stuff. Reverend Wright (INAUDIBLE) are distractions from the real issues. But especially for someone like you, who’s a newcomer to the national scene, people don’t know a lot about, don’t voters have a legitimate interest in who you are and what your values are?
