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.

Agree. I was unnerved the first time I saw the "O" symbol. It immediately reminded me of the Nazis' use of the swastika. For the life of me, I can't recall any politician in American history who had his own iconic symbol, and who made it a ubiquitous feature of his entire campaign for office.

Unfortunately for Zero and his minions, they aren't bright enough to have foreseen how the right would use that symbol to poke fun at Obama, and to make editorial comment about him.

Yeah, it’s typical for a candidate to have a logo during a presidential campaign, but once in office that logo is scrapped and the presidential seal is used. But not Obama. Just like the Nazis, his regime has its own iconography apart from the nation’s traditional iconography. It’s really pretty surprising that more hasn’t been made of it. The narcissism of it is incredible. In his case I think it’s as much about his ego as it is about ideology.

Not just during the campaign, but now on all government material! It’s on the “Healthcare Reform Act”, it’s on many other items and all over GOVERNMENT websites.

That’s what makes this scary.
