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....

>>It isn’t a coincidence that the green leaves symbolize the sickle of agriculture and the gears symbolize the hammer of industry.
Its not a coincidence. I’ve been telling people for a couple weeks to be on the lookout for a nice, happy symbol of the new Socialist America. No hammer and sickle for the America of Hopey-changiness.
I think it’s here. I really didn’t even expect him to be some obvious.

The gears do not mesh, and never can. The keyway on the larger gear is a cross, which is never used because it is structurally weak and difficult to machine. To anybody with even a small familiarity with machinery, looking at those gears causes almost physical pain.
Very observant! As a machinist, this is the visual equal of fingernails on a blackboard. Also the teeth have parallel surfaces, something else that literally doesn't mesh.

Obama is Chance from the movie “Being There”. MSM has over analyzed him into brilliance, but there is none. The concept of failure and success is foreign in the government enterprise because reward and punishment are the same for both. So people that work in government cannot produce solutions that work because they have never had to.

It took nearly 100 posts before someone allluded to the Mark of the Beast. I’m shocked.

I had a security program on a computer at work that had three interlocking gears arranged in a triangle as a background. I begged the company to change this background, but they would not do it, and it was not a user definable setting.
I had to stare at those damn locked gears, day after day, for three years. Finally, when I had the chance to spec a new program, I rated that company very low, to make sure I would not get that program back.

Has anybody else noticed that those gears don’t mesh?
Ah, irony. :-)

Plus the larger cog has what looks like a little red cross. Isn't that patent infringement, as well as causing affront to Muslims and other non-Christians?
The color green is presumably because it's one of the colors of the flag of Kenya. Kenya's flag also has black in it, but he doesn't want to think that his government is ever going to operate in the black.
