Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama inspired celebrity handbag designer Timmy Woods to create a handbag based on the signs used by his campaign at rallies and speeches.

The first Obama Handbag will be given to the senator's wife, Michelle.

"I hope she will get it in time to wear to the convention [next week]," Woods whose work was featured on Sex and the City said in a statement.

The bag is made from Acacia Wood and a portion of the its sales will go to charity.

Obama is expected to announce his running mate as early as today via a text message to supporters.

On Friday, he slammed Republican opponent John McCain for not having "a very clear sense of what ordinary Americans are goin' through."

After McCain couldn't specify the number of homes he owns, Obama told the CBS Early Show that McCain's comment and his policy positions "indicates that you're out of touch, you don't get it."

    The bag is childish and kiddish. Need to design a bag with class. If I were Michelle I would give it to her girls to play with.

    the bag is childlike in appearance and should be redesigned with maybe a smaller logo on leather or silk. And as for all you other racist idiots, grow up already.

    And for those of you who had a racially negative comment, is that really the best you could do? Those are the easy shots. To really show what an ass you are, go for something a bit more. I mean a watermelon comment?? Way to live down the the ignorance level as expected.

    Read carefully folks. The bag was designed by Timmy Woods inspired by Barack's logo. He had nothing to do with the design. And, by the way designers making something for a celebrity is nothing new. I'm willing to bet everyone who had something negative to say has bought something that a celebrity inspired. Can you say Jordans anyone??
