Obama unveils new Symbol
Examiner.com ^ | 3-3-09 | Phoenix Conservative

Barack Obama sure likes his symbolism.

Who can ever forget the hopeful rising sun coming up over a horizon of stripes, suggesting a new day of change coming?

Or the Obama for President seal, complete with a spread-eagled eagle, heart filled with the hope of Obama's first seal?

And certainly not the self-adulatory hubris of the Office of the President Elect.

Today President Obama unleashed the latest creation of his egomaniacal mind, a stamp that will forever glorify (and transform, I'm sure) all the wasteful projects stemming from his porkulus spending bill, ARRA.

President Obama announced today that his administration will begin stamping an emblem on projects funded by the economic stimulus packageso that people can easily recognize the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act....

The King of Symbolism over Substance is back with a new stamp, which will grace any product of ARRA. It looks suspiciously similar to a hypnotists coin.

Is it me, or has Obama had as many symbols as weeks he's been President?

“Obama unveils new Swindle”

A year from now the proper symbol will be a man sitting on an orange crate with his head in his hands sobbing.

Just look at the symbol, and know that government is doing all it can to take care of you. Hey, don't look at the stock ticker, look at the symbol, darn it! Look at the red and the white and the blue and the green! Yes, green, isn't it beautiful? Stop crying over the fact that your stingy old employer just moved to Ireland to stop me from taking all of his profits and you are now jobless. Look at my symbol! We are doing all that we can! Keep looking. There, isn't government control wonderful? You are getting sleepy.."

Well, that is his only accomplishment in his first 40 days. Wonder how many million that uninspiring dab of artwork cost the taxpayer.
Perhaps we can affix it to the closed auto plants, factory gates, utility companies, hospitals, doctors’ offices, etc. etc. when his Socialism kicks in with full force.

Sounds like that Blue Eagle stamps during FDR (I think it was then).
