Tony the Tiger Is Apparently a Democrat
EmailAt a rally in Battle Creek, Mich., just now, Mark Schauer — the Senate minority leader running for Congress — presented the Barack Obama-Joe Biden ticket with a special box of Frosted Flakes that he says Kellogg’s, which is headquartered here, put together.

I will never eat Frosted Flakes again.

Interesting to note that the current Commerce Secretary is the former CEO of Kellogg’s…

Gosh, I think as of right now I’m going to stop watching abc or going to their site. They are getting less and less factual and more and more biased in favor of liberals.

I think Frosted Flakes also has a “light” version. Would have been more fitting.

Two Flakes !

Makes me want to stock up on Kellogg’s. McCain could be on a box of Franken Berry.
Posted by: Al | August 31, 2008, 10:22 pm 10:22 pm
That’s it. Never buying that cereal again.

They should have put Obama and Biden on the box cover of Trix…..’remember Trix are for kids!’
Posted by: Lank | August 31, 2008, 10:25 pm 10:25 pm
Intersting that they are happy to be shown as FLAKES! And, to be equated with a food that is all sugar and very little nutrition… sort of like their platform.

Kellogg’s who?
Posted by: Robyn | August 31, 2008, 10:27 pm 10:27 pm
Well I’m sure they don’t mind the “They’re Grrrreat!” part, but do they really want to be called Frosted Flakes?

Two crusted flakes and a corrupt Tony Rezco.
How fitting.

Hey this is great. A cereal empty of nutrition but covered in nice sugar to entice foolish children into loving it is shilling for two candidates with no substance but have some nice sugary packaging! PERFECT!
Posted by: Warner Todd Huston | August 31, 2008, 11:44 pm 11:44 pm
having read the above, I believe that most of the comments contain degrees of bias.For me, these writers lack real vision as they view barack obama as incompetent.In this day and age,people should not be concerned about the color of a persons skin as a qualification to hold any powerful office.Capability is what counts.The power in a white man,a black man,a brown man, or a man or woman of whatever color is the same.Thank God I know this.

Kellogg’s will see a drop in sales if they endorsed a pair who at best has 45% rating of the people. Stupid move , I would like to hear more and will watch the stock price. symbol K and earnings report due on oct 28. I think they will drop based on the singer bruce springsteens reception after his obama endorsement. market wise obama is a stinker.
Posted by: nopoliticsatbreakfast | September 1, 2008, 12:27 am 12:27 am
Warner: You hit it right on the head! All fluff and no substance describes Obama perfectly! I used to like Corn flakes but I will now be boycotting them and no longer buying them, as I am boycotting the Democratic party this year, and boycotting that garbage mouth olbermann, chris matthew, anderson cooper, etc., etc. Anyone who participated in the sexual bashing of Hillary clinton I no longer have any use for and they are history!! One of the few fair and balanced journalists, Tim russet we lost, and the other mouths roar on and on and on. Disgusting!

Two over-sweetened corporate flakes — wrapped in plastic, inside a great big tree-wasting box full of nothing?!
Are we CERTAIN Mr. Schauer and Kellogg are O’Biden’s friend?
Posted by: Belle Starr | September 1, 2008, 12:30 am 12:30 am
After reading the comments here, People I think it is time to pack it up. America had a great run, but it is beyond saving if people are going to boycott kellogg for putting Obama and Biden on a Cereal Box. Hey people who are going to boycott Kellogg, take it a step further and boycott food, Don’t buy or eat food ever again.
Posted by: William | September 1, 2008, 12:39 am 12:39 am
Yes, James, McCain should be a delusional kind of character, Like Captain Crunch. Or maybe the bran to the sweet raisin of Palin. He’s surreal at times. He announced Saturday that Palin is his soulmate and partner. At least he didn’t add that when he looked into her eyes, he saw her soul, like Bush did with Putin.

Hmmmm…. “Frosted Flakes”…. Kellogg’s got it right.
Somehow, it seems appropriate to have the DNC – TC (Top Cat) with his sidekick on a box of kid’s cereal.
Posted by: Dawn | September 1, 2008, 2:22 am 2:22 am
Two frosted flakes, alright. And, with absolutely no nutritional content, just like Obama’s rhetoric.
Posted by: Thank God for Karma | September 1, 2008, 2:48 am 2:48 am
I prefer Cheerios, anyway – the original, not the sugar-coated varieties they’ve created. I can add my own sugar to my cereal, thank you.

Mary Anne:
McCain is one of those people who bashed Hillary during the primaries and his surrogates were exceedingly vicious.

“In this day and age,people should not be concerned about the color of a persons skin as a qualification to hold any powerful office.”
The only person(s) concerned about the color of skin as a qualification is Obama and his minions. Otherwise, what exactly does he have? Nothing.

If they don’t do a box of cereal for McCain/Palin, They should be boycotted!! I will not buy another Kellogg product!!
Posted by: Sa1940 | September 1, 2008, 8:16 am 8:16 am
Hopefully this is just a box that they put together for the candidates, not to put in the stores. It would be crazy for a company to alienate half the country over a cereal box.

Nice picture. Isn’t that Rin and Stimpy?
Posted by: david | September 1, 2008, 8:44 am 8:44 am
Yeah I heard Mcsame is gonna have his own box of Grape Nuts, or 40% Bran Flakes, maybe he will get the Prune Juice endorsement! Obam/Biden Time!

Hes gonna be Post Toasties in November anyway.

It’s a free country. Kelloggs is free to take a side in the presidential race, and I’m free not to buy any Kellogg’s products in the future. Plonk!

I am insulted as to the corporate endorsement of the Obama/Biden campaign. I do agree that they are two of the biggest flakes.

Your going to feel the “Crunch” alright when you see your check with all the taxes taken out for the new handout programs Obama wants.

They will make a box of Rice Crispies, with the three clowns on the box Bush, Cheney & McCain.
Posted by: ronnieraygun | September 1, 2008, 11:17 am 11:17 am
Mike will that be anything like the 4 trillion dollars Bush & Chaney borrowed to pass out your tax cuts and economic stimulus check.
Posted by: Ernest T Bass | September 1, 2008, 11:19 am 11:19 am
At least the stimulus checks went back to US citizens who paid for them not Iraqi like the billions spent on Bush’s war of choice.

Well, what a great advertisement! Of course the Prez and VP are on the box, after all they are Gr-r-reat! The best leadership we have had! Can you imagine Bush with the scowl and Cheney using the F-word or the bimbo from Alaska on a box with Tony? No, they would have to be on a box of Fruit Loops!
