No stars - no individual states.
Instead of a shield, Obama’s personal [strange] brand.
UN Blue.
Gay rainbow as the backdrop for everything.
“Vero possumus”? “Yes we can?” The battle cry of tens of millions of illegal invaders?

Or, does it really mean what I think it means...”Elect me and we’ll roll over and play dead in the face of any external threat.”

Maybe McCain should sue Obama for stealing his whole attitude...

Obama is guilty of bad taste, megalomania, baby-killing, and Communism. But not of breaking that particular law.

I agree.

Thanks for your comments. I think seriously that people might start getting sick of Obama. He’s been running for president for like a year and a half already. Too bad we don’t have a better alternative on our side.

Hello,

Great point, he has totally ripped off Bob the Builder. (Mr. MOguy Jr., now 10, loved that show...)

Barack and his posse of political advisors are strange people.

This Latin phrase is a window into the humanistic worldview of Obama and his minions.

I don’t think that’s the issue. The real problem is the language, “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”

It wasn’t done for that purpose. Nonetheless, it was done to mislead people and get them to accept him as president using the seal.

Using a liberal judge’s approach to statutory intrepretation (reading it broadly and focusing on its purpose ignoring the specifics of its text), he’s guilty.

You’re 100% correct.

“Whoever, except as authorized under regulations promulgated by the President and published in the Federal Register, knowingly manufactures, reproduces, sells, or purchases for resale, either separately or appended to any article manufactured or sold, any likeness of the seals of the President or Vice President, or any substantial part thereof . . .”

It’s at least a substantial part thereof. Good catch.

That caught my eye. I knew someone who used copies of the edges, about a half inch, of a twenty dollar bill for a promotion. He thought that using parts wouldn’t be a problem. Someone told him otherwise, it was unclear if it was an official or someone in the group, but he shredded them lickety split and didn’t want to talk about it again.

The audacity of arrogant stupidity.

Of course the media and his disciples will be all gaga over it.

If enough people think he is already President, maybe they will blame him for high gas prices and vote for McCain.

Don’t worry, when Senator Hubris crashes and burns his buddies in the media will all be there to record the spectacle.

I am glad this is coming out - Obama has had his own brand of a Presidential Seal right on his web site. No one has noticed. That Obama rendition Does say ...”E Pluribus Unum” on it (or Z ). I wrote about it over 3 months ago. The one on his site carries an African Spear rather than 13 arrows...go figure
