Illegal much? Found this at AceofSpades.com

18 USCS § 713

I wish someone would fine him AND imprison him, the idiot. He shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this.

I’m sure that “likeness” in the statute doesn’t mean just “something like,” but an actual reproduction of the seal. Obama is guilty of bad taste, megalomania, baby-killing, and Communism. But not of breaking that particular law.

...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 or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof,...

Fits to a T.

... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Works for me.
