There are a bunch and this is starting to pick up some steam....

If this doesn't scare ya,then nothing will till it's WAY too late!

Before you know it,we'll be handing quarters to a cashier with the face of Obama imprinted on it.... :doh: Or Dollar Bills or whatever...

That's of course assuming,we are even using money by then anyway....

I was thinking probably a barcode.....hahahah :doh: I won't even go there!

[Teller]

That's a pretty clever ploy, actually.

[SpringfieldSkins]

He doesn't actually want to change the "official" presidential seal to that right?

If not, I don't see any harm in him using that as his "logo".

[Heisenberg]

The headline for this thread is kind of misleading - you would think he wanted to actually change the official seal or something . . .



He might regret this action, or he might just be pissing people off that wouldn't vote for him anyway - time will tell.

[Zguy28]

Who cares? He's just another lobby-pandering politician when all is said and done.

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

He's just another lobby-pandering politician when all is said and done.
Just another politician...maybe. But lobby-pandering politician...umm...no.

I think the title of the thread is spot on actually...



Presidential hopeful and The One Who Promises Hope and Change to the Masses, Barack Obama, attended a meeting of a handful of democratic governors today in Chicago. It was a discussion-type forum and the democratic governors sat in more or less normal seats with name plates placed in front of them as is the custom in these types of meetings. Obama, however, sat above them all behind a low rostrum as is the custom of mini-gods who are forced to continue to roam the earth for reasons we mere humans can’t fathom.

In front of the rostrum behind which The Obamessiah sat was not a nameplate, but a seal that had all the earmarks of being official. You know, like when you go to Mexico and all these people meet you at your plane with name tags and official looking uniforms and tell you they represent some company or the other and try to get you to buy a special deal? You know, the ones that just dress like that and after you buy the special deal you realize that they aren’t associated with any organization and just disappeared into the crowd with the money you just traded them for a piece of official looking paper that means nothing? Yeah, that kind of official looking seal.

It made for quite an impressive sight. The symbolism was obvious, even though the marketing company that created the Obama Presidential Seal probably hoped to send a subliminal message with it. If that is the case, they succeeded in being as subtle as two trains colliding on a major thoroughfare during afternoon rush hour.

Just like with the guys in the Cancun airport, this new presidential seal warrants a closer look before we trade dollars for thin air.

As with all things Obama, the seal is not about the country, but about Obama. The One Who Brings Hope for Change and Makes Women Faint and Men Cry has the big O in the middle of his seal (get it - that’s for his name). It also contains Obama’s presidential campaign logo. Across the top it declares, ‘Obama for America’ and the bottom gives his website address. In the place of America’s motto, E Pluribus Unum (Out of many, one) it has the Obamanation motto, ‘Vero Possumus’ (sorta, kinda translated to ‘Yes We Can’).

And THAT, my friends, is the kind of branding you can buy when you have unlimited financial resources.

"Neato," "arrogance," "spew."

And there's no need to capitalize "dollar bills."

[Zguy28]

Just another politician...maybe. But lobby-pandering politician...umm...no.I disagree.
He bows to the whims of groups like the Planned Parenthood when they told him to vote "present" instead of no against a pro-life bill. Normally a Democrat would've voted no. But not Obama. He voted "present" at PPF's request because they thought it would encourage other legislators to do the same instead of voting yes.




The National Organization for Women has strongly endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. A chain e-mail denounced Obama's record on abortion, citing his "present" votes on a succession of bills sponsored by anti-abortion activists.

The Facts: Under the rules of the Illinois legislature, only yes votes count toward passage of a bill. Planned Parenthood calculated that a 'present' vote by Obama would encourage other senators to cast a similar vote, rather than voting for the legislation [and asked Obama to vote 'present' as a strategy]. NOW never endorsed the Planne Parenthood strategy of voting 'present,' saying "They were horrible bills, and we wanted no votes." Illinois NOW and Planned Parenthood had different voting strategies on the abortion issue. It was impossible for Obama to satisfy both groups at once.

I don't call that bowing to the whims necessarily. That's a strategic vote/non vote designed to accomplish an objective.

But I understandd why you think of that as pandering. And on some level you are correct.

Let's just say that I believe that Obama is far and away the better of the two candidates overall.

You might think that he and McCain are essentially the same but I'll respectfully agree to disagree.

The weakness of the opposition is shown in the substance of their attacks. Claims of arrogance?! Is this is a joke? The party that supported Bush's cowboy foriegn policy, John Bolton in the UN, and Tom "The Hammer" DeLay are suddenly sensitive to arrogance?

Folks feel free to talk policy or scream about liberalism - but please live by your own standards. Stop trying to pull issues out of your asses to help your failing cause.

It won't be long people are going to be bitching about Obama hanging "Barack Obama For President" banners at his rallies.

[skinfan2k]

I still remember when Michael was asking on how he could be a punter in the NFL without any real experience. I think he said he hasn't punted since High school either.

If not and I dont think so.

he is a man of change after all.

It's what you needo to complete a bukkake film. :paranoid:

[Yusuf06]

This is actually a clever marketing ploy designed to make Obama look more presidential-probably to counter questions about his lack of experience. Whether it works or not I think it's indicative of the Obama camp's willingness and ability to think outside the box.

Exactly.

It's a subliminal message to all those people thinking, "Geez, I like this Obama guy, but I just can't picture him as president."

It's a brilliant move, IMO.

It's a subliminal way for Obama to be associated with the seal of the President. I would do the same thing if I were in his position.

It's no different than people running for the office using pictures of the White House in their ad campaigns.

[HogNose]

He doesn't actually want to change the "official" presidential seal to that right?



Yeah and he has a tail , is a muslim extremist and is the Anti-Christ. :silly:


No..this is clever subliminal campaigning...I applaud it.

[Teller]

Yeah and he has a tail , is a muslim extremist and is the Anti-Christ. :doh: :silly:

For the last time, he does NOT have a tail!!!! :mad:

[Yusuf06]

One other thing. Mike33 I don't even know what's required to change the seal of the POTUS. Why don't you look that up for us and then tell us how likely such a scenario is. In reality you and everybody else knows that claims like this have no merit and are very "Birth of a Nation-esque". They're nothing more than sensational claims of impending doom that seek to exploit the deep seated fears of race, conspiracy theories, communism etc. by some subsegments of the electorate rather than dealing with real issues. As others have pointed out, criticize him for his healthcare plan or his foreign policy stances etc. Just don't pull this kind of crap. ...or could it be these folks don't want to talk about the issues for some reason??? Hmmmm...

No man... I heard on sombodies blog that he was one of the lizard people. You know the lizard people are actually running the country right? George W. Bush is a lizard person. I know George W. Bush has a tail.:laugh:


Before Obama got the nod for presidential nominee, I always said to myself "I kinda like Barack Obama, but I'm voting for McCain for sure." More and more recently, I've been thinking to myself, "I just might vote for Obama." I've already voted for him once, why not do it again. Maybe it's the liberal media pounding the thought that McCain (McSame, McOld, McBush, or whatever) is exactly like Bush into my head everywhere I turn, but I've been thinking that Obama may not be so bad lately.

I dunno, maybe I just like dudes with lizard tails.


Also, I think it's safe to say that the OP was an epic fail of English comprehension and excecution. I'm rather surprised this thread has gone on for 3 pages. That "needo" is supposed to be "neato" right?

[mardi gras skin]

It looks weird to me. Like he's trying too hard project gravitas.

Absolutely. That's why I just finished editing my prior post to say subsegments of the electorate as I didn't mean to imply that these shallow appeals are directed at everyone.

You will likely see better over the years once the partisanship clears and you experience more Presidents. :2cents:

brikem05, if you think this is ****ed up ,remember it can always get worse.

[Burgold]

What I love about Michael 33's posts is how he is able to singularly unify both liberals and conservatives, republicans and democrats. It's a beautiful thing.

[SUSkinsFan]

But I genuinely believe that if Obama becomes President this country will get better. And if it doesn't he might not get my vote in 2012.

I doubt it. I was a Republican in 2000, I supported him for a while.

Obviously Bush doesn't equal the GOP but he has honestly done so few positive things for this country it just amazes me. He seems like a 'nice' guy, he seems like he wants to do whats best for the country...but he hasn't.

Its not partisan. I think Bush is a complete and utter failure.

I also think that the current Democratic controlled Congress has essentially been a failure, but King George just sucks plain and simple.

Malkin is an Asian Ann Coulter...death to them both. They are disgusting hate mongers.

"Obama wants his own Presidential seal": Hogwash.

"Obama makes PR screwup on campaign trail": Absolutely. Clearly the man needs better handlers.

IMO, this ranks right up there with whoever named Bush's war "Operation Iraqi Liberation".

This is simply sales. Gets people used to seeing him behind a similar symbol, and the mind feels comfortable eventually.
It's no different than staged political photo ops showing them as 'regular people' like Bush at his ranch splitting rails.

I notice a couple of Newsweek covers of Obama and his staff over the last couple of moths.. black and white, angled from below.. very Kennedy-esque.
This country is all about imagery and symbolism, as a people we eat it up. This simply plays to that, like every good sales pitch.

This is nothing unusual, nor is it anything to get upset over.

Hey, I remember supporting LBJ for President when I was 6. I even voted for him. (In class.)

Granted, as I recall, the reason for my support was that it had been pointed out that "Goldwater" was what's in the toilet before you flush. But still.

It reeks of presumptuousness.
