First of all, it doesn’t make him look presidential, it makes him look like he’s playing dress-up.
He should be saying, “I’m not a president, I just play one on tv.”
Second, isn’t he the Obamessiah?
Wouldn’t president be a demotion?

In response to Obama’s claim that Republicans will use race to stoke fear, Lt. Col Allen West, candidate for Congress in Florida’s 22 District issued this release: (Clarice Feldman)

“My advice to Senator Obama is to run as a Man and Leader, and the American people will evaluate you as such, not as a victim. This is a Presidential race, based solely on a capacity to lead the United States of America. It is not about skin tone…however, perhaps we should come to expect these immature statements.

It also seems rather humorous that the Presidential candidate who was supposed to be such a “uniter” and transcend race is the one talking about it the most. If Senator Obama was confident in his abilities and character, he would not need to create a crutch for failure. Senator Obama has just tipped his hand, any criticism of him and his policies will be directly attributed to racism. I congratulate Senator Obama for taking race relations in America back some 30 years.” Lt. Col Allen West

that was very well said…

this is the kind of talk we need more of, the truth!

Obama is just a common criminal, he isn’t even a politics as usual politician… he is just a thug for Daley and Rezko and Soros

The logo is DISTASTEFUL and narcissistic.

He has no class.

Comment by peter pentagram made too many enemies | 2008-06-22 12:05:29

The drawing of the eagle, the gestalt of the symbol, reminds me of the chevron cartoon cars, from the TV commercials.

Probably drawn up by the same ad agency, the same “artist”…

That is very sad, isn’t it, the best the artist could do when symbolizing America, exemplifing his understanding of what this country is, manifests itself as nothing more than some cartoon car representing an oil company.

Oh, wait, he nailed it, perfectly.

(At least when dealing with current Washington).

That’s pretty fu*king funny, then…

He has no clue whatsoever, what he’s doing, none.

This man is so third world in his style. Look at his obama for kids on his website. Freaky!! What is he thinking???!!!

I’d rather lick dirt off the foor than having a marxist-revolutionist-fascist president with little proof of hard work who is so in love with himself.

Yuck….

Comment by indigo | 2008-06-22 12:21:34

I forgot to add that he’ll be more fitting running for Kenya’s president/PM. I’m sure he’ll make a great leader there.

I swear, he just wants to talk about race, he doesn’t want to talk about what he’ll do as president.

Comment by FloridaDem | 2008-06-22 07:30:21

Y’know why, don’t you? Because he has no CLUE what he’ll do, ‘cept move in to the WH with wife and kids.

I’ve never seen one concrete thing from him about what he’ll do. It was fuzzy for a long time, even on his website. We have very little work history on the guy so we don’t even know if he KNOWS how to DO anything. And what he has said he’ll do, he’s now flip-flopped on it.

Another Chicago thug.

Obama’s bamboozling and hoodwinking is only possible with assistance from the Washington establishment and corporate media.

God Love you Lt. Col. West….you said it all…this guy from Chicago is such a phoney and what you just said is the absolute truth, we should post this all over the net…

Thank you for stating the truth Col. West…this guy pulled this crap all throughout the primary….he thinks he’s off and running now for more of the same…not on our watch…we need to nail him every time he does it…

 
 

Comment by terri | 2008-06-22 07:58:00

Allen West has hit the nail on the head. Obama’s whole campaign is playing the victim. He and his people consistently talk about race relations as if the last 50 years never happened. Message: we are victims of white racism, the only solution is to turn over the country to us immediately.

Comment by pasmalltowngirl | 2008-06-22 09:00:04

Amen to that, Obama has managed to divide this country once again on race. He has managed to do so much damage in such a short time. Imagine how much damage he can do in, God forbid, 4 years. A presidential candidate, most importantly, should be for all the people, not some the people, not DIVIDE the people. The real Barack Obama is emerging, how can this country even think about wanting him to be our leader, the most RESPECTED position in the entire world.

Comment by fran | 2008-06-22 09:45:55

I hope that gets largely circulated. That is exactly what is going on here, and it wouldn’t have worked in the primaries if they journalists had done their job. Any and all criticism of Obama is racist and/or “old politics.” He deflected everything with that. And his supporters use it at every turn. It’s tired and corrosive. Enough. People want to compare him to these great figures of the past (for which their is no evidence that he is even close in stature). Tell me, did Martin Luther King Jr. whine and cry? He fight for inclusion and equality. Obama’s alignment with Black Liberation Theology is all about being a victim and demonizing “whitey.” He can’t even unite his own party: he doesn’t have time, he has to get on with character assassinations against his next opponent and his supporters.

 

Comment by Ellen D | 2008-06-22 12:21:29

I’ve been around long enough to say it takes race relations back MORE than 30 years.

You raise a good point - how can someone running for the most powerful position in the world keep portraying himself as a helpless victim and expect to get elected?

There are about three journalists under serious consideration for Tim Russert’s job at “Meet the Press.” Can you imagine if they were out talking about their credentials and had a phoney logo of the show? And speaking of Meet the Press, I am curious. Why aren’t they going to pick a replacement who is the least experienced? Why pick the “same old” journalistic thinking? Why not pick say, a blogger? Can you imagine? No. Not them. They are not going to skewer their programs, but they are trying to foist onto the American people an under prepared presidential candidate and then call us racist when we don’t vote for him. Speaking of racist. Why no prominent AA faces as anchors on the networks except as “fill in?”

You will feel good about your decision to vote for McCain. And you will see why Obama does not want to do townhalls with McCain. PS- The last video is the best. Enjoy!

We are doing the same thing. I am just waiting for the DNC to come to its senses. However I don’t think they will change. They have to much invested in this guy and they are going all in. The Obama campaign was able to get away with just about anything during the primary. It does not look like that is happening anymore. I have a strong feeling the media is seriously playing politics. They will slowly turn on this guy with out him even knowing.

Comment by Pink Panther | 2008-06-22 03:53:36

Regarding Obama’s new campaign seal, following is the Federal law on the Presidential seal:

Title 18 Part I Chapter 33 §713
§713. Use of likeness of the great seal of the United States, the seals of the President and Vice President, the seal of the United States Senate, the seal of the United States House of Representative, and the seal of the United States Congress

(a) Whoever knowingly displays any printed or other likeness of the great seal of the United States, or of the seals of the President or the Vice President of the United States, or the seal of the United States Senate, or the seal of the United States House of Representatives, or the seal of the United States Congress, or any facsimile thereof, in, or in connection with, any advertisement, poster, circular, book, pamphlet, or other publication, public meeting, play, motion picture, telecast, or other production, or on any building, monument, or stationery, for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

(b) Whoever, except as authorized under regulations promulgated by the President and published in the Federal Register, knowingly manufactures, reproduces, sells, or purchases for resale, either separately or appended to any article manufactured or sold, any likeness of the seals of the President or Vice President, or any substantial part thereof, except for manufacture or sale of the article for the official use of the Government of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Yes, they know how to bust this guy. They just won’t do it because if they did his rap sheet would be longer than the one GWB hid.

The Attorney General probably thinks that if Bush can get away with treason there is no chance of holding the Presumptive Heir accountable. And a trial might delay the coronation by a day or two.

this guy really is a clown… i think it goes to show that they are blatantly “marketing” obama and that anything he says can’t be trusted… its all a con job to get and steal votes…

Sometimes authors say it best. Starwars, Princess Lea, “So this is how Democracy dies.”

Our Grand Experiment has lasted a little over 230 years. The irony is that it fell at the hands of two political factions with no Constitutional recognition who put Party over Country and destroyed the Constitutional balance created by our Founding Fathers. And they just tell us to “get over it”. They can’t even understand why we grieve.

just like Obama claiming he is the Nominee for months while hillary was still getting landslide wins in primary elections they think that if the slap a presidential seal on he podium he can claim he is presidential months before the election so that when they steal votes in November they think americans won’t notice… and will just accept the “president” that Rezko and Daley have picked for us…

this is sickening…

McCain and all of us should lobby for the authorities to strip that seal off his podium…

the hilarious thing is the seal is so HUGE that it makes him look even more tiny and skinny and wimpy…

also, stealing votes and stealing the presidential seal doesn’t look presidential at all… just makes him look like an idiot…

Comment by ruffian75 | 2008-06-22 08:49:44

People who voted for Bush in 2000 at least had the excuse that they didn’t really know what he would be like as president. All they knew was that he was governor of Texas so he had some government administrative experience and was the son of a former president. They didn’t really know of the arrogance, corruption, deceitfulness, power seizing, stupid decision-making, inexperience in foreign and economic affairs, lack of judgement, unaccountability, gaming the system and the American people, etc that would become the mark of the Bush presidency.

Voters don’t have the same excuse in 2008. If anyone’s paying attention at all, these same characteristics and much more are very evident in the candidate Barack Obama…before the vote. The only thing is that somehow this seems to be OK with the MSM, his supporters and the DNC. Barack Obama seems to be the best thing since sliced bread and the savior of our country. I guess the ‘hide your faults in plain sight’ strategy works as long as you mesmerize the public with a corny ‘hope and change’ message.

At this point, I have no idea who I’ll vote for in November. It’s a shame the Democratic Party could not offer a REAL candidate to consider. I guess it will boil down to which one I fear less or not vote at all.

And yes….for the trolls…if I feel this way I must be racist.

Time for “the other half” to emerge since he’s taken care of “the black vote”. Maybe he can get the two factions fighting it out for the “right” to claim King Obama as their own. Can’t you see it now,

“He’s mine.”

“No, he’s mine.”

“He was mine before he was Yours!”

“Racist!”

“Bigot!”

“My Reverend can beat up your Reverend!!” (chorus)

And then the Left-Outs elect McCain.

Yeah the Obamaland seal is SO HUGE it makes Obama’s head look really small! No sense of proportion at all. It looks like something from a Saturday Night Live skit. But you can’t make this stuff up. They are becoming unanchored and one sign can be found in the deteriorating aesthetic that surrounds Obama. Not to overanalyze, but their campaign is turning grotesque and people will become physically repelled by this type of visual degradation.

That Latin translation on the seal for “Yes We Can” that looks like “Very Possums” (Vero Possumus) was a nice touch. Maybe E Pluribus Possums (or–”Out of Many, Possums”).

I don’t mean to be flippant. I also find this iconography very disturbing, in its intent as well as in its banal ugliness.

Comment by Jeremiah God Damn AmeriKKKa Wright | 2008-06-22 04:36:09

a lot of Obimbo’s are posting that the seal is gret, that they really like it, it looks presidential and its a sign of things to come and that it should replace the existing seal since he is bringing a new kind of politics to the US.

This is why in other countries they laugh at us.

so many stupid americans.

I know there some very artistic people who contribute here. Any one care to whip up a parody of Obama’s seal? Just replace the eagle with a turkey and the Latin logo with “jivus turkeus” on it.

The damned thing looks like a pink flying pig.

Look at the outline — the eagle’s wings are the pig’s ears and then there are two black spots for the eyes — that circle thing in the middle is the pig’s nose.

That’s what I saw when I first looked at the blue image — my attention was elsewhere and my eyes were unfocused.

What is all this fuss about a damned flying pig — I thought — THEN I saw the eagle and of course the prez symbols.

Then there is that damned possum — so what is it a flying pig with a possum?

The Obama freaks are absolutely crazy — coming up with this sort of grandiose crap.

And I still see the damned blue flying pig!

Comment by jbjd | 2008-06-22 08:00:36

“Gem” doesn’t begin to describe the brilliance of this voting rights video from March 2007, on so many levels. I wonder what impact Senator Obama’s current implosion has on Senator Lewis, featured in this video, who withdrew his support from Senator Clinton during the primary and transfered it to Senator Obama, months before he became the presumptive nominee. Having worked so closely with Senator Clinton on this voting rights bill, I wonder how he felt when his new candidate agreed to receive not only votes explicitly cast for HRC but which the RBC stole from her to give to him; but also votes explicitly cast for “Undecided” but which the RBC determined should go to him, too. In light of Representative Lewis’ demonstrated history of fighting for voting rights, I cannot imagine how he justifies not speaking up against such massive voter disenfranchisement now.

I think he got subjected to quite a pounding, something for which those who did it should not be easily forgiven.

Comment by Vince P | 2008-06-22 04:56:03

Either 1 or 2 things is going to happen with that seal when someone starts to criticize it directly to him

1 - He’s going to respond with “The American People have more important things they want discussed then teh color of some campaign decorations. They are sick and tired of these old styled gotcha distractions.. i want to solved the people’s problems

OR

2 - he starts to cry

Comment by hootnannie | 2008-06-22 05:14:28

That logo that looks like Comfort Inn’s is bad enough! And when I first read the word possumus, I–being from the South–thought of possums and how poor black and white folk both ate them a lot. I’m afraid that the new seal and motto remind me of the “Amos ‘N’ Andy” episode where Kingfish and Andy work up a scheme to defraud a hotel by one of them pretending to be the “Punjab of Jabberpore”. And of course BO is good at “playing possum” when asked a question he doesn’t want to answer!

I ran across an interesting video from Middle East TV.

It’s like “Oprah” (but with male host) and the topic is “What should be do0ne with Apostates”.. So they have a bunch of young boys and girls, and young adults, and a little panel of experts all discussing the options.. like.. should he be kiled or what?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK_vJfoT2Ww

The reason i bring this up is because this might give some of you some insights into how the Muslim world might view Obama if any of them consider Obama to have been a former Muslim due to his childhood.

Comment by ginaswo still says no Uhhbama | 2008-06-22 09:14:25

someone posted an excellent item in comments wiht a word that basically means it is okay to lie about being Muslim to protect yourself, I expect that is what they think he is doing

I think he is lying about being ANYthing

I dont think he ‘is’ anything

I think he is empty, blank-pathic, lack of empathy, no identity

that clip with Nunn next to him as he explains what he really meant about the Blind Sheik trial etc, you can practically see Nunns hand up his back making his mouth nmove, scarreeee

 

Comment by jan | 2008-06-22 11:22:44

Re the video - it was refreshing to see they are at least having the conversation - and a two sided one at that - gee now if MSNBC and CNN could do two sided repoprting that would be refreshing too. Main stream Media are so entrenched in Obamaland.

 
 

Comment by Obama is a bum | 2008-06-22 05:17:54

This is another example of how Obama thinks he is entitled to be president.

I heard the Larry Sinclair conference earlier this week and one person asking a question referred to Obama as the president.

 

Comment by Jeremiah God Damn AmeriKKKa Wright | 2008-06-22 05:19:32

from

http://swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/06/obamas_great_seal.html

I grabbed these salient comments from another website:
Consider all the elements on the original seal, the history and symbolism, and consider what has been changed…

1) The snake (enemy) has been removed from the eagle’s beak. We will no longer confront our enemies.

2) The eagle is not a bald eagle. This type of eagle was often prominently displayed in the crests of European countries. Even Hitler used it in his banners and artwork. Our unique symbol has been replaced with a European symbol.

3) Red, the color of blood and bravery has been erased from the field.

4) The shield, symbolizing defense, with the stripes of the thirteen colonies, united under the blue banner, is gone. It has been replaced with Obama’s own personal symbol.

5) All references to the 13 colonies… the olives, inner stars and stripes on the shield are gone. The history of thirteen independent colonies uniting as one nation, has been erased.

6) “Out of many, one” has been removed, replaced with Obama’s slogan.

7) The dark blue, the background for the stars, representing states rights has been replaced with a soft pastel blue.

8) The 50 stars, representing the 50 states, have disappeared.

So consider what has changed…

The individual states have been removed, our history erased, our symbol of power and unity neutered, and only One Government remains, with the messiah’s symbol in the center.

This isn’t a laughing matter. This is a disgusting, unholy abomination!

Posted by: SaveOurNation | June 21, 2008 12:53 PM

ofcourse being the fair minded individual that i am i thought i should also present what another poster said, who is an obama supporter on that thread:

Why are people upset because he refused to accept the DNC’s money? That is 80 million dollars from god knows who. The minute he would have taken it, someone would have searched to find out where it came from and blamed him for lying about not taking money from pacs and lobbyist. Y’all are just jealous because your game is not that tight. Don’t hate - immitate, congratulate, and don’t hesitate. Were you 27 before you could get a girlfriend? Obama is going to be the next president of these United States, and one thing I can say with all certainty is if he stayed in his bed eating cookies and watching soaps for 8 years, he still would not be as bad as McSlow who gratuated 894 of 899 and does not have a law degree. You better recognize you inbred freedomphobics!

Mickey Kause called the seal Obama’s “Mission Accomplished”

Is Obama’s new faux-presidential, alternative-reality seal his “Mission Accomplished”? If you wanted to emphasize to voters that the Democrats’ nominee is a bit stuck up, it would be hard to do better. I suppose he could start requiring reporters to stand when he enters the room. … The seal probably started out as a bit of fun. But unless David Axelrod is insane, the thing will never be seen again. .. 2:15 A.M. link

-Lots of ‘duh’ moments.
-Perfectly choreographed events, with all the right faces in all the right places.
-Can’t dance.
-Two daughters.
-No work history.
-Clearly doesn’t think for himself based on his flip-flops.
-Must think Americans are idiots and can’t figure out that he said one thing on Tuesday to one group and the opposite on Wednesday to another group 200 miles away.
-Heavy-duty ‘handlers’ planning his every move, every ‘policy’.

All this is very humerus but we should be careful not to dismiss him without action! I was going to write Hillary in at the beginning but that would be just a protest vote. With all the dissension in the party and people either not voting or writing Hillary in, he just might win the election. As I’ve said elsewhere they laughed at Hitler too as a funny little man. These people are starting to scare me. The money men behind him although having survived the Nazi’s seemed to have learned a thing or two about them. I think we have to be very careful not to waste our votes. Again Lord help me, I never thought I would vote Republican!

How can the all stand there be quiet and look at this and not admit that this is the dumbest thing any nominee can do in a election race coming out with your one seal, it reeks of arrogance and look at it you have to admit it just look dam silly, really like a boy playing king.

Man this is gotten so sickening from the seal to the fist bounce I just don’t know what to expect in the coming months, sure seems like these elected democrats will settle for anything and honestly I am going to hate to watch Hillary and Bill agreeing to this kind of nonsense from Obama

The seal reminds of when he was asked about what he would do first if he is elected. He said he would go into the Oval Office, sit behind the big desk and think/say: “THIS IS SO COOL!!”

He is a child. Immature is the right word, used by West. Many former colleagues have said the same thing: he doesn’t like the work, but he is ambitious. Now, it’s “too much work” to reach out to the 18 million Hillary supporters. “Just tell ‘em McCain would be worse for women’s rights.” Wow, that’s inspiring. It’s on to the next thing for Mr. ADD. I still can’t believe he got this far. He’s been carried by the media and the DNC. We have to actively continue to organize to make sure this is the end of the road.

 

Comment by Mary | 2008-06-22 10:09:18

What is really creepy about this seal thing is that is what Hitler did before he took power - He too had a “Seal” with an eagle (not the bald eagle) like Obamas to signify power - hope this isn’t a sign of things to come. Is this guy on a power trip or what?

I wonder how all of the Dem governors felt being seated next to his immanence with his own special lectern and seal, when they all just had regular old seats. I bet alot of them were saying to themselves “WTF is up with Obama?”

PLAYING POSSUM: THE NEW OBAMA CAMPAIGN MOTTO:

The opossum is perhaps best known for faking death as a means of defense when attacked. While he is capable of falling over on his side, his mouth open in a death-like grin with saliva running out, from which state he cannot be roused until the danger is past, this is usually done only as a last resort. More likely a threatened opossum will Playing possum
look for the nearest exit and run away (or more accurately “waddle away,” since they cannot move particularly fast). They will also sometimes bare their teeth, hiss, or even growl. With such displays they appear quite fierce, but actually they are not accomplished fighters and are very rarely aggressive.

obama’s creation of his own personal seal that is “illegally” similar to the presidential seal is a testing of waters. He and his camp are testing how far they can go; what they can get away with. It’s elementary. If we don’t do something now, they will keep going. This could get worse folks.

To me, the logo looks far too much like the “Blue Eagle” used by the FDR Administration…the one all businesses had to display in their window to prove they were loyal Americans, or else face fine and arrest by the government.

Do you think Obama is aware of what The Blue Eagle represented and does he have similar plans for it?
