It turns out the lineage of the official Obamunist salute goes back further than the astro-hippies on Star Trek.
Here's the Obamaniac "Sign of Progress":

…and here's a photo from the history books…

The German Propaganda Archive provides this caption:
The hands of the Führer organize his speech. This picture captures Hitler's hands as he speaks of the unity of the National Socialist and socialist ideas.
I thought the idea of the salute was to make a zero, summing up the emptiness of the Obamania phenomenon. But maybe it represents the circle that race-obsessed, socialist progressives go round and round in, decade after decade, without making any progress.

The “black power fist” is a fascist symbol, too. I’d say most political hand salutes are more or less fascistic.
OMG - Its the universal symbol of the flying sphincter!
Looks like the rising sun flag of wartime Japan.
Does that handS gesture have anything to do with the WJ Clinton administration appointee Jocelyn Elders and her recommendations on’family planning’ and alternatives to pre-marital sex?
just curious
That’s how big ours will be when Obama gets through with us.
Does this mean that Obama’s most famous Contribution to Society is:
The Flying FART!
as noted by the International Sphincter Symbol?
Its very interesting observing the close ties between the Obama Campaign and Hitler’s Propaganda and Symbolism. It’s most Terrifying and Scary! Is it Coincidental or Planned?
