Obamacare: Where Have We Seen That Symbol Before?

tinypic ^ | ? some wise blogger...not me

I didn't make this. But I do find the parallels...interesting.

By the way Recovering: I agree, 0bama’s Administration is as close to the NAZI as the world has seen since WW2!

[Recovering_Democrat]

I know it is the caduceus, chief.

I just find it curious...Hussein’s design also parallels the nazis.

The nazi eagle was also a precursor of the Phoenix symbol, was it not?

B’sides, I’m only puttin’ it out there for discussion. ;)

My guess is the Third Reich is what is represented by the three stars. ;-)

Funny, I was just yesterday messing around with Photoshop and posted this in another thread.

Not exactly. It was probably purely pagan in origin. It's association with healing came long long after the the symbol had already been around. Hermes was originally a god of commerce ... he didn't become associate with healing until much much later.

There is a different name for the staff you mention ... I can't remember it now. I only know about the caduceus because I've used it in artwork I've made for a doctor's office. Wish I could help more.

Here's the two together:

Yes, that is your story now that you have been called out on your comments. Strange...

No - That's my story as an artist that has designed logos for people and has a lot of interest in graphic design. Dude - it's right there in my profile. I'm an artist and I own an art gallery. Don't take my word for it - cotact some logo designers on the web and see what they say.

[TomOnTheRun]

Ahahahah. This is a good one. Kudos.

That is the most frightening thing I've ever seen. I'm reminded of boxcars looking at the shadow ghost people in the background.

[Jewbacca]

It’s the Nehustan in Hebrew at least.

I don’t know the English word.

[Albion Wilde]

Not sure about you, newbie.

The fact that you ARE an artist is not helping your case. An artist would right away notice the similarities between the two designs... but rather, you tried to simply pass off the similarities due to the caduceus being thousands of years old.

Keep digging. These red herrings are starting to smell.

You must be a doctor, Dentist.

Well, I don’t remember the caduseus having the Obama “O” logo on it before. In fact, i dont remember any other president HAVING a personal logo.

“I’m an artist.”

Ok artist, what president’s have had a personal symbol, like the “O” logo attached to everything they do? Sure is Hitleresque if you open your eyes. Next you can talk to us about all the adoration Obama art. Always done in an ersatz Soviet or style, complete with dramatic gazes towards the horizon.

I believe the wings represent the god Hermes who was the patron of medicine. He is the guy with the wings on his heels.

Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it.

They failed and it closed.

Now we are trusting the economy of our country, our banking system, our auto industry and now, possibly our health care to the same assholes who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey!
