That’s what makes this scary.
What the hell.....?
WTF is his damn personal campaign insignia doing on government websites???
That makes me mad enough to break something. This moron truly believes that he's some sort of Fuhrer!

As a graphic designer this is a subject that has been interesting and frightening to me for a long time now. Check out this fascinating and important video on iconography from Bill Whittle of Pajamas TV its 8 minutes long, but its so good it feels like 30 seconds. (This video is embedded at the original post which can be seen here or view it at YouTube here)
This inspired several pieces I've done (and can be found on my art page) since viewing it...(there is a "slide show" of specific examples at the original post)
Obama puts that logo on EV-ER-Y-THING......I'm not that old but I'm pretty sure we haven't seen narcissism like this out of a political leader in this country, like, ever.
I can hear the libs now...saying all I want to do is tear down the president rather than try to build up the country with him. Thats precisely what the problem has been with his campaign to be president all the way up until today. The Obama presidency has not been about a legacy for America. The Obama presidency has been by, for, and about Barack Obama.
This idea can't be better demonstrated than at 2:35 into the video when Whittle shows an Obama campaign poster where Obama's logo actually comes front, center, and superseding all the other American icons, which are faded to background status.

Outstanding!
Agree. Our side should have been hammering the Obots on this one point from the first day he was in office. Had we made more of it, there's a good chance that they would have been shamed into dropping the icon by now.
On the other hand, they've given us a wonderful icon to spoof and ridicule.
I started that thread, that logo is my handiwork ;-)
Yes! Its frightening. I don’t lend myself to conspiracies, and I don’t know that there are really any intentions of tyranny with him, but the precedent for someone else to cross that line has been well established....all future despots in waiting have to do is study and learn from O’s mistakes.

Hang on and I'll fix it.
Red x’s, LOL!
Hit refresh. The pics are there.
Nope, red x’s. Did you link to a page you log into? Sometimes it will show for the poster and not for others.
Could probly make a fortune with obama urinal cakes...
No, I just pasted the link that was showing in your post into a new browser tab and went to where those pics were posted on the web.
I saw the pictures there and copied the "image location" for each of them into a standard HTML command to post them here.
I wonder why that didn't work?
ping for home
Ha! I like it!
