One Nation, Under a New Obama Salute

George Bush had his three-fingered W salute that supporters flashed when greeting him at presidential campaign events in 2000.

And now, if a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one above. "Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc. Husong... We wanted to get involved some way,"...

So, the agency came up with their own a symbol of hope and progress that also plays off Obama's name. "We thought, 'Let's try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,...You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol of unity," he says. Husong is urging people to download it and print it on posters and T-shirts. "We want to see it everywhere, but more importantly we want this sign to take the world by storm."

The “Be Seeing You” OK-salute from the Prisoner series would be most appropriate.

So this “O” sign signifies Obama’s IQ?

Isn’t that just another way of calling someone an a-hole?

A simpler salute would be the stiff extension of the right arm. Easy for thousands in a stadium to do.

This is really scary.

How about the 'crossed-wrists' (as in handcuffed) salute from the movie version of 1984?

There has been a couple of threads on this and the comments have been quite funny but I find this to be quite alarming. The seal on his plane, the seal on his podium, the bumper stickers are something right out of Cuba and Venezula, and now we are going to see people create a circle over the head.

"We thought, 'Let's try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama"

Ok, well....first of all, you didn't "think"....because people who "think" don't come up with idiotic sh!t like this. And If I ever actually see someone doing this, I'll cross the street to get away from them because, they're dangerously stupid. Literally.
