I still want to know if he registered for selective service. His birth date makes it mandatory, and by not doing so, he is not eligible for Federal employment.

It is extremely cheesy in my opinion but it would appear that the relevant part of the law would be this "...n a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States.

I am certain their argument is that it is not intended to convey edorsement, sponsorship or approval. So, I seriously doubt there is much of a case here.

Then again I am not a lawyer, which means that I am completely free to dispense legal advice to my heart's content.

Since the important part wasn’t posted....

THE GREAT SEAL OF OBAMANATION



THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States

His fake seal in no way conveys official sponsorship.

"Yes, I'm a possum's ass!"

[ArmyTeach]

The whole Democrat primary process and campaign felt like two particularly airhead, manipulative and vicious college juniors running for student body president.

[Rebelbase]

HEY FARKERS! Please, please, please do Obama’s seal as one of your photoshop threads!

PLEASE!

[Dr. Sivana]

Regarding the great seal stuff, it’s different enough that it is not prosecutable, but the Obama people might have wanted that to be a chattering class issue because it won’t wound him for long, and may keep worse stuff off the front burner.

[SIDENET]

I like this seal better.

[E. Cartman]

Other than accusing him of having bad taste, they shouldn’t make too big a deal about this. It’d make them look really petty.

[Missouri gal]

Did B.O.’s seal say “Vero pussimus?” Is that for real?! Or some wise acre did that? Yikes!

[ballplayer]

He should get his hair cut with the seal emblem on his head

[Salman]

This "satirical exception" is a derivation of the "Fair Use Doctrine."

Did the Ramones ever get sent down for theirs?

It’s the closest that fraud is going to get to the presidential seal.
