This is so not funny, I

This is so not funny, I can't even write a sarcastic remark about this egomaniac.

Truman, by executive order, established the seal in 1945. Who the hell is he to outright purloin it? An unprecedented new level of hubris.

Every living past US president should express outrage.

Not since Hitler has a political figure twisted graphic design into mind control at this level. And it was a major component of Hitler's act. The power of the symbol; if it appears before my eyes, it must be true.

This is Stage II of the graphic assault. We'll be seeing much more of this seal, as the childish podium signs of Change, etc. now begin to take a back seat. Like he cannot talk coherently without a script, he cannot be seen without a slogan dominating the scene. Try to find a neutral photo of him without the propaganda graphics. You won't.

No offense, guys, but I don't think this is a good caption-fest choice. It just breeds outrage.

He is so damned arrogant that it is not even close to funny! This just screams "It's going to be mine, so I'm starting to use it now!"

This is almost as bad as his rewriting of Scripture (Faith, Hope, Change.) What's next..rewriting the National Anthem as his campaign song?

I am just furious over this. He has no respect for anything; thinks that he is above everything.

I hope this backfires big time!!

Presidential-like Seal

Today, from what I read from the Fox by-line,

Barack today threw down the race card by saying

that the GOP will use racism to scare people.

What a phony.   He's disgraceful.   No one that

I know of is using racism.   Saying he is Muslim

is another story.   I believe he is.  I also believe

he  is a communist.

Well put, but

since there is only one living Republican president and he is too polite, I doubt if any exPOTUS will say anything...it is a disgrace.

"I am too big enough to be

"I am too big enough to be president!"

Breathtaking Conciet

from a never have done anything guy. His lack of humility oozes through his every pore.

He knows as a Black Democrat he will never be condemed by the media or other democrats. After all, they could never dis one of the cultivated flock!

 So, now that he has seen fit to change the Presidential Seal, it is only a matter of time before he changes OUR FLAG!

The pompass SOB-ama Ass!

What would the new flag look like?

His face and prominent ears where Stars used to be and 60 stars representing the states of Obamica, where Stripes once were?

Simply Breathtaking! 

 

Obama's new flag

He won't use stars on the new flag. It'll be a little hammer and sickle for each of the 60 states.

You're wrong!

There's only 57 states. Illinois is far away from Kentucky, which borders Arkansas.

I was amazed the other day when I drove U.S. 51 north out of Wickliffe, Kentucky, and hit Illinois as soon as I crossed the river. I thought the messiah said that Arkansas is closer.

This guy is going to pompous himself right out of the presidency. While the media can't see anything wrong with him, the American public will.

I work with Democrats all across Kentucky, and I love to watch them squirm at the mention of their nominee.

Wouldn't you love to hear some of the lectures from his constitutional law class?

CR... Obama meant to say

CR...

Obama meant to say "Alaska is closer".

Hey, both states start with an 'A'.

Obama tries to pre-seal the deal.

Let's hope that's the only official seal Barack Hussein Obama gets to play with.

Hmmmmmm

How pretentious can one person be? I hope this makes people sit up and take notice. This isn't funny. He is hobnobbing with some of the old Clinton crowd (Madeline Not So Bright and others who used to be behind Billary) who are really just the old Carter crowd. Everyone needs to hold on to their jock strap, this could be a bumpy ride.

Thank you Margo Channing.

CAPTION: "Sen. Barack

CAPTION: "Sen. Barack Obama (seen here behind his presidential-like seal) practiced talking down to his fellow Americans by using his hands as "sock-puppets" to layout, and ultimately explain his economic plans... as well as his plan to raise taxes. DGA Chair Gov. Joe Manchin sang Obama's praises after the event, and was quoted as saying "... and his Kermit the Frog was AWESOME! Next time, I'm bringing the kids! There's something for the entire family to enjoy!"

No caption here.

He made up some lame excuse about not wearing a US flag lapel pin. I could care less whether he wears one, but let's not make up some stupid reason for not wearing one, trying to sound like a solid rational reason. Now they create whats very similar to the Presidential seal, reserved for and respected because of the office it symbolizes. Obama is not in that office. What excuse will he come up with for this one? If any Republican candidate were to do this, I'd say the same thing. Sadly, the media would not treat it the same.

The seal he should be using...

"Never murder your opponent when he is committing suicide." ~ W. Wilson

Just the Begining

If you think that this is bad just wait until he gets elected President. I think that the only one playing Possum here is Senator Obama. The fact that he is running a campaign that is privately financed tells me that he is probably beholding to some special interest somewhere.

He will definitely bring change but then having survived cancer I can categorically say that change isn't always good.

This whole election campaign-on both sides- is becoming like the plot of a really bad B movie.

Two words for all my critics at Newsbusters

"Zip it!"

Seriously though, he may look to "zip it" when the Fairness Doctrine Express comes rolling back into Stalinville. Besides, isn't the Internet a "public good" ?  Why can't the Internet be "regulated"?

What would happen if Newsbusters needed half conservative and half liberal points of view?  I can only imagine:

Conservative POV: "We need more drilling on our own shores so we can get off of foreign oil and lower gas prices."

Liberal POV: "Unfair! Victim! Insensitive!  Offensive!  Racist!  Marx....Marxism!  Halliburton!"

Fast Eddie

Saturday David Brooks of the NY Times portrayed Saint Barrack as Fast Eddie Obama of the Chicago machine. Coming from him in that rag it was remarkable, to say the least. Brooks shows him to be as phony as this seal, you really should read it. The seal is like Obama's slow, solitary presidential walk, when he is just entering a home or other ordinary place. I have noticed this a few times, along with a regal manner or air he shows when on camera. I suppose it goes hand in hand with his admittedly excellent speaking skills honed in front of a mirror (I suspect, been there). Brooks' essay was a most pleasing expose of the duality that is Barrack Obama. That means the seal is another example of a two-faced, truth hiding, word-twisting, say anything to get elected and then show your true colors liberal surprise package.

jay... I agree..I, too,

jay...

I agree..I, too, was shocked it was ran in the NYT's or that it actually came from Brooks...it was right on the money.

Obama Inaugural

"And I would like to thank the 90% of the mainstream media that were in the tank for me.  And I'd especially like to thank the angry right for not showing up to the polls for McCain.  Now I can start what I call the Cuba-ization of the United States.  It is better to be fair than to be productive, so my first decree as the new Mes... I mean president, is that all productive people will have to remain under house arrest for a few months until the playing field is level - with all the unproductive people."

"What a ride this has been

"What a ride this has been for me. To have seen the fallen heroes in the audience before me on Memorial Day. To have consoled those in Kansas who lost 10,000 people in the tornado tragedy. To have traveled to every one of our 57 states to great places like Sioux City, Idaho and Wellesly college in Connecticut. Wow, as Al Gore who just endorsed me once said, 'The past is behind us and the future is ahead of us.' And when I become president I will umm uhh I mean it will umm hold on a second I can't hear myself. Uhhhm I'm glad you're fired up though. I'm glad. uhhh..."

It's Big

Obama's seal is as big as his ego and his superiority complex.

My solution.

"In truth to be able"

That's the translation of vero possumus. One must first be truthful ... Barrack is everything but. Able to do what ... win Democrat Party approval by using slogans or schemes in place of realistic plans. 

A question....

Now that the coverage of Barry's "Presidential Seal" has grown some legs, if he discontinues its use, does that mean he's admitted to poor judgement?

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

 

I thought vero possumus

I thought vero possumus translated into "yes we can." Either way, can we arrest Obama yet?

The Rocky Mountain Collegian: Illustrating Idiocy

Bring out your dead!

Vero: in truth, indeed, to be sure, however.

Possumus: to be able, avail, to be capable, have influence. 

"Yes we can" would be, etiam nos can. 

 

i'm not dead

but 'in truth we're able' is a fair transliteration for yes we can

The language is dead, not the meaning.

Perhaps in a fare sense, but, it is a stretch at best.

This is not the Presidential Seal I have known for 20 years...

I can't think of a bigger egomaniac than Obama. Not even from Hollywood, past or present compares to this guy's lover of self.

Obama believes he is the next commander-in-chief, in waiting. To the Obama's, the general election is just a mere formality. Michelle, probably hired their professional interior decorator already, for the white house selection of curtains/drapes. She definitely needs help in the fashion department. I wonder if they will resemble her trendy bargain dresses.

I'm not yet convinced, that America will vote this inexperienced new senator as the next POTUS. IMO millions of Americans will decide for McCain in that last moment/minute of thought, before committing their vote. Like many people are saying nowadays, their not voting for McCain, just voting against Obama. Reason enough for me. "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Hope and pray come Nov, this man will be knocked off his high mountain, and back to reality.

I looked up "Vero Possumus"...

breaking the law

So Obama has potentially broken the law with this seal, see here: http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/06/is_obamas_great_seal_illegal_1.asp

I see the sentence is potentially six months, that means he could be running his campaign from jail and be out just in time to take office.  Just goes to show you anything is possible in the USA!

Asked by a reporter why he

Asked by a reporter why he erroneously refered to 57  states of the union, Obama took a long drag off his fatty and exclaimed:

"Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high! Ba da da da da da da!"

"Have you ever had uhh,

"Have you ever had uhh, roast eagle? As I have uh, travelled across the country and it's many, many states and spoke with common people they told me that it tastes like umm... chicken but I think it resembles the flavor of a spotted owl.
