Just when the flag pin issue was dieing down, it seems Barak Obama has some explaining to do about a revised presidential seal on his website that shows an American flag being pierced by an arrow.
First picked up by by Freeper "prayforpeaceofJerusalem", the logo also shows what appears to be an American Eagle in retreat and a rising moon.
"I don’t know how to begin a thread, yet...and am not confident enough to do so anyway, but please, some of you, bring attention to he fact that Obama’s logo, as seen on his web site, http://www.barackobama.com/images/bg.jpg shows an arrow or spear through the stars and stripes of the USA; the flag is depicted torn; an eagle is turned away from and is departing from over the flag symbol; a moon is rising over the USA stripes in a dark night; and above the frame, top right, the curve of the wings of an eagle are depicted from the rear, as it is seen lifting, to fly away."
An enhanced version of Obama's logo:
The original presidential seal with Eagle holding the arrows:
I've pulled up the image, which need no "enhancing," and I simply don't see it, and suspect this whole non-story is either 1. hysteria or 2. a plant, hoping for an over-reaction by a fake freeper who merely THINKS we who are freepers are incapable of critical thinking.
Leave this one alone. There's no need in stretching the truth that is already so obvious, and not even hidden, about this child-man's associations. This would make us a laughing stock.
Look, the man just wants to be left alone to eat his pancakes, Why can’t he just eat his pancakes?
Nonsense.
Anybody who sees some sort of evil symbolism in that image needs to go take a chill pill.
It’s nothing more than a rather poorly drawn emblem that looks a bit like someone was trying for a retro/propaganda look.
As for the thing in the middle I’d say it’s supposed to be the sunrise over crop fields. They left the rays off the sun because that probably gave it a Japanese flag look. I’d guess they were going for the worker’s paradise look/feel.
Obama has enough real issues, no one needs to go manufacturing silly stuff like this.
We were going to use the emblem of the Presidency on our uniforms.
That was until we got a visit from the FBI telling us it was illegal.
Like I said that was quite a few years ago.
Now that is priceless.
Hey better to spend all those millions on attacking each other than going after McCain.
Dean must be going nuts.
His name should be running down the endorsement.
I don’t recall ever seeing the eagle in retreat in any American context.
Why don’t people just open their eyes? Or do they see what they want to see?
“It looks like the eagle is laying an egg.”
Or taking a dump.
Eagle also facing East... It’s just a bad design. The eagle should be facing forward.
Or it’s facing NE. I hate the Obama logo, and hate this. Just crappy, unPresidential.
Islam is a Moon Cult, So the Rising Moon represents Islam.
Obama supports Islam’s Jihad against America.
Obama likes moon pies, so the moon represents pies.
Same logic, right?
It’s a spear and shield in front of the flag and a retreating eagle on top. It has the olive branches and to the right is the word “SI” (third star up). Opposite “SI” are some chili peppers. There are 13 stars, 3 of them not filled in. It kind of looks like in the background is Canada. Then on top are the words E Pluribus Unim.
You people really need to get a life.
That is a pretty ugly eagle.
Maybe his wife drew it.
*****************
You got that right.
I was looking at politico's county by county breakdown and there were a couple counties in western Pennsylvania that went for Hilary to the tune of 75% and 79%. That is a serious whoopin' that she laid on Obama!
Pennsylvania would appear to really be “in play” if Barry wins and, of course if Hilary wins, you may have all those disenfranchised individuals in Philly so hacked off that they won't show up in November.
Don't know how much of this is a right wing conspiracy or Operation CHAOS, but it has to be a good thing to have these 2 selfish narcissists spending all of the donor dollars before we get to the general.
I'm liking it! I hope that it goes ALL the way to August!
And it is turned away from us, possibly concealing something under its wing.
Not too subtle.
