Uh, yeah.

I guess that's why Obama's Native American name is "Milking Bull."

Appropriate symbol. Looks like the rear end bones of an animal that starved to death, or Michelle O ready to give someone a Monica.

I dunno. Maybe McCain's campaign ripping off the logo of a company that sells frozen potato products is unintentionally appropriate too.

McCain

Or "Unintentially Appropriate" as CY would say.

Sure skylark—different colors, shapes, symbols, font, etc, but they are exactly the same, because they use the same name.

Weak.

No, if you want to see something a lot closer to a logo being ripped off, look at GlaxoSmithKline: The Other White Meat.

Similar "guitar pick" symbol shape, very similar narrow semi-serif fonts.

WAT? SRSLY? No Wai!

When I was a schoolboy, using that two-handed gesture forming an "O" would have been enough to get the crap beat out of you.

It was the equivalent of calling someone an a.hole.

Heh. Should say SIGN OF ASSHOLE - I played with the graphic, too - http://www.thedonovan.com/beth/archives/2008/08/all_these_graph.html

I believe this is taken from the movie '1984' with Richard Burton. This is the sogn of adoration given to Big Brother. Will the voters see thru our new Benitto?

I'm surprised no one has noted how stylistically similar the image is to the posters frequently seen throughout the Soviet Union. The color is blue, not red, but it still has a "Workers of the world, unite!" feel to it.

Diffus, it does have a little likeness to the communist card propaganda posters.

Hey .. isn't that racist ?

I didn't know we were electing a "Wanker in Chief"

What a Herbert...

Linear humor on parade.

For even more opinions of Obama's new sign, you seriously need to check out the US News article. If you don't end up laughing at the article, the comments will have you on the floor! People, we are not the only ones who see a problem here!
Check it out at http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2008/08/07/one-nation-under-a-new-obama-salute.html

One more piece of evidence for Obama's inexperience, and the inexperience of those around him. Any seasoned political operative would have tossed this idea in the round file.

What I don't understand is whether this is the sign conservatives are supposed to make when they see Obama supporters, while sticking their tongues out of their mouths and rotating them around their lips, or whether it is actually the sign Obama supporters are intended to use?

A little help here.

Really? What's your evidence that this came from any Obama operative at all?

From all accounts, it's just a couple of guys at an ad agency.

My apologies, I misread the original article.

It's sort of interesting that this Husong guy who claims to be such a big Obama supporter doesn't show up in any of the donor databases.

hi there,

Skylark, there are ways of supporting that don't include the exchange of greenbacks.

Such as, for instance, designing campaign posters for free.

I take it the Obamamites are supposed to flash this sign, last time I remember something similar things didn't turn out so good.

I understand, C-C-G. On the other hand, people who care enough to design and publicize and give away a poster usually care enough to give money.

Just interesting, that's all.
