Emblems to Stamp Projects Funded by the Stimulus Package
March 03, 2009 2:09 PM
ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports:
Put a stamp on it -- that’s what the White House says.
President Obama announced today that his administration will begin stamping an emblem on projects funded by the economic stimulus package so that people can easily recognize the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
All projects will be stamped with the ARRA logo (short for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and lists the recovery.gov website on the emblem.

In remarks at the Department of Transportation this morning, Mr. Obama referenced the new emblems.
“We’re also making it easier for Americans to see what projects are being funded with their money as part of our recovery. So in the weeks to come, the signs denoting these projects are going to bear the new emblem of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Obama said. “These emblems are symbols of our commitment to you, the American people -- a commitment to investing your tax dollars wisely, to put Americans to work doing the work that needs to be done. So when you see them on projects that your tax dollars made possible, let it be a reminder that our government -- your government -- is doing its part to put the economy back on the road of recovery.”
Obama, who was at the Transportation Department to highlight the 150,000 specific jobs that would be saved or created under highway spending from the recovery act, also said that transportation specific projects would don a second emblem - bearing the word TIGER (short for Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery).

Red, White, Blue & GREEN
I think vandals with a little bit of black spray paint could make a point here.
My husband was laid off and is collecting unemployment.
Today we received a letter saying that he will receive an extra $25 per week. That money will not be added to his check but sent in a separate envelope.
Just think of the waste but it is to make sure he knows this is from the One.
Does he think we are so stupid, we will be impressed with his logo?
These morons are more worried about the “brand” than the damage the brand is doing.
At least they’re not stamping people ... yet.
Proof that der Fuehrer loves the Volk.
All that’s missing are the words “Work will make you Free!”
Notice the white space between the design and the outer ring. That is designed to reinforce subconsciously that “O” has brought this to you, praise be to the Anointed One. /s
Seriously, we should put a picture of Rush over every one of these stupid symbols.
The Photoshoppers have already been hard at work:

“Does he think we are so stupid...”
YEP...
My first thought as well.
Your government loves you and will take care of you. Don’t you feel good now?
Maybe we should label Obama a fascist. Nobody seems to care if he’s labelled a socialist. And the level of corruption in his new society seems more akin to fascism.
Well, Nazi is short for National Socialist. Sounds about right.
Well, when the corruption is noted, we can use that symbol on OUR attack ads!
We can use that symbol as all of the zero’s when we show people the deficit and the debt.
We can make that symbol into a negative, quickly.
Absolutely. We need to make them regret the whole idea. SNL, Family Guy, among others may have a field day in the future with the logo.
