The whole color-coordinated thematic logo thing is really bizarre and, to use one of Obama’s favorite words, unprecedented in American politics as far as I know. In fact, the last ruling clique I can think of that had its own symbology and color scheme is the Nazis. Actually I guess FDR had some logos for some of its new New Deal bureaucracies, like the NRA (National Recovery Administration) logo with the blue eagle claws and the gears. I’m guessing the Obama crew had FDR in mind rather than the Nazis when they came up with their theme, but of course as Jonah Goldberg has documented in his book, the basic impulse is fascistic. What is amazing (or rather, typical) is that liberals aren’t bothered one bit by the administration’s use of symbols/logos. Can you imagine if Bush had had a logo and a color scheme? They would have been crying fascism till their vocal chords shredded.
Great video, posted it on my facebook page.
FIrst, that WAS wierd how that 8 minute video flew by.
Second, “More cowbell” Obama poster made me laugh until it hurt!
Obama’s use of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) techniques in his speeches and his use of logos to separate himself from all the prior presidents seems to me to be the way a narcissist with totalitarian aspirations would try to get the people to worship and follow him separately or apart from the traditional office. It’s like he created his own brand and that brand was not American and therefore the presidential seal was ‘not needed.’
So that voting for Obama was not supposed to be seen as elevating him the the traditional office with traditional constitutional limitations but more along the lines as an iconic leader who leads us ‘beyond’ (i.e. away) from the constitutional concept of president. I wonder if this is how Caesar and Napoleon rolled.
Outstanding!
