[the cult of obama] replacing the presidential seal



What's the big deal about all these logos? In the top one, the American flag was removed and Obama had his own logo put on. In the second, the Healthcare plan does not carry the seal of the United States - it carries Obama's personal seal.

The third is another he used, drawing attention to his site.

Much has been written and spoken of Obama's Cult of Personality and look once again at the adoration in this post, praising his rhetorical skills but not bothering too much about the substance. Watch this youtube, courtesy of Harry Hook, where the issue is about Obama's logo now appearing everywhere, post-election. The video speaks of iconography.

Now let's move to August, 2009:

On Friday, Aug. 28, the principal of Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington, Utah — in the name of "education" — showed her young charges the "Obama Pledge" video released at the time of the inauguration, in which Ashton Kutcher and various other big-time celebrities, two or three of whom you might even recognize, "pledge to be a servant to our president and to all mankind because together we can, together we are, and together we will be the change that we seek."

Let's get this right - a Principal wanted the children to see the pledging to Obama, not the United States?

Now look at this triptych [interesting in itself] and who is seated to our right of the staircase? The article says:

Obama at fund-raiser at Steven and Judy Gluckstern's home, April 9, 2007. George Soros is seated to the right of the stairs. (Published in "How Barack Obama Struck Fund-Raising Gold, New York Magazine April 16, 2007; Photo-credit: Michael Edwards (note that this is the actual photo as published by New York Magazine, and contrary to the claim of William Lowther @ Telegraph, has not been doctored by this blog; (via "Daily Speculations" | What is the "Transfiguration"?)

You've no doubt seen all of these and perhaps you see nothing terribly wrong in them. Perfectly normal to scrub the Presidential seal American flag off the tail of a plane and put your own seal in its place and to attach your own seal to countless promotional packages throughout the country. It must be boring being one of the 44 who've been entitled to use that Presidential seal and opting not to use it.

    Sir,

  5. I thought this was a send-up but it's appeared on the Huffington Post. I think the Latin tag means "I'm really playing possum".

    I can't think Obama quite believes his own publicity the way Blair does/did.
