Sec. 713. Use of likenesses of the great seal of the United States, the seals of the President and Vice President, the seal of the United States Senate, the seal of the United States House of Representatives, and the seal of the United States CongressI don't see "President-Elect" mentioned anywhere in this material, and Obama does not YET represent "the government of the United States." Note also how he uses this government (.gov) Web site to attack President Bush, as if this government-owned Web site was Barackobama.com and he was running against Bush. I am not sure this guy understands the responsibilities of the office he is going to assume, or the dignity with which its holder is supposed to conduct himself.(a) Whoever knowingly displays any printed or other likeness of the great seal of the United States, or of the seals of the President or the Vice President of the United States... or any facsimile thereof, in, or in connection with, any advertisement, poster, circular, book, pamphlet, or other publication, public meeting, play, motion picture, telecast, or other production, or on any building, monument, or stationery, 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, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
Oprah told him if he ‘visualizes’ being President Elect then he is. Oprah is the shadow president.
Well, I agree with he can do whatever he wants, but I think that the Seal is in regard to his ignauration, right? I would think that would make a difference.
The “0” is a steaming pile of mutt feces.
I am certain that the Kenyan Clown has no appreciation for the dignity of the office or the dignity that the officeholder should assume.
After today's performance, mocking Mrs. Reagan, which came on the heels of his utterly tasteless remarks mocking American motherhood and calling Governor Palin a pig, it's clear that the next four years are going to be a blight on the history of the presidency: not only do we get an unrepentant marxist, but we get one with no gravitas.
I hope to goodness that he can learn to behave better on occasions where he represents the United States with dignitaries of other countries, or we may also end up with unprecedented diplomatic incidents. (At least on that front, it will be hard to beat President Bush the senior's remarkable act of vomiting on the prime minister of Japan.)
Earlier someone asked the question, “How long before the honeymoon is over, or the love feast between the black messiah and the mediaPUKERS”? That’s easy....how long did it last with Bubba? 8 LONG Torturous years! Expect the same. Have plenty of Maalox in hand! This is going to be a REDUX of the Clinton years except this is going to be 100xs worse. Be ready for the pollsters to start mixing their own special sauce to cover the black messiah’s ass every time the EMPEROR makes titanic mistakes...4 looooog grueling years of the mediaCLYMERS shielding this idiot. We already got a taste of what’s instore for us when Chrissy let the cat outta the bag by saying “WE MUST HELP OSAMA PRESIDENCY” that spoke volumes and anyone with common sense will see the mediaDEMONS will NEVER criticize or rebuke their little god!...GOD HELP us!
I don’t know if you noticed lately but all laws have been tore up and dispensed with.
Look again. Compare the image from the left, cropped from a screenshot of the page you linked, as compared to the right.
I don't like his winning either, but in some respects some people around here need to get a grip.
Yes, because (1) he’s the President-elect, a Constitutionally defined role, and (2) it’s a U.S. Government web site, run by some very good people I work with.
Interestingly, I saw a TV discussion on FNC today after Obama's press conference where the guest was comparing the rapidity with which Obama's transition is meeting with outgoing administration officials to how long it took Bush's transition team to do the same.
This pundit was saying that Bush officials waited until late December to make the contacts that the Obama team is making now.
I was yelling at the TV that the reason the Bush team took so long was that Gore contested the election, and Clinton held up transition funds until Gore finally conceded the election in mid-December, delaying the ability of Bush to form his transition team and do the things that Obama is doing now.
Along those lines, the Democrats were still delaying the confirmation of Bush's second-tier officials when 9/11 happened 8 months later.
Just a little historical perspective for the short-term memory people on the Left.

The United Nations globe would be more appropriate for him.
It’s only a presidential privilege, isn’t it?
