Obama Campaign Dumps "Presidential Seal"
— Ace

"No," the campaign says tersely when asked if they'll be using their mystifyingly stupid and presumptuous Obamadential Seal.

Yes we won't, I guess.
But they didn't say anything about this one:

1 Wonder who got thrown under the bus for coming up with that 'seal' idea. Guess the word "presumptuous" never entered their little minds.

2 The possum rolled over fast.

3 ....rolled over...and immediately became roadkill!

4 Honestly, I rode in a tank once and gave one bad answer at a debate.
How many friggin stupid things is this guy going to get away with?
A faux seal? I had a seal as governor of Mass and you didn't see that.
If I had known being black would cause everyone to be blind to how bad your campaign is I would have counseled Kerry to get a spray on tan instead of waiting to long to respond to attacks. Fat lot of good that did Kerry anyway.

So desperate are the atheist Obama disciples who have forsaken God (or Diety if you wish) to display the trappings of their worship.

Didn't Kerry try a fake tan and wind up being orange??

I shudder at the two main candidates. Both at the bottom of the cess pool and digging.

7 From Foxnews:
Obamas spokesman said the notice paid to the seal was a little over the top. Is this really worthy of this much attention? he asked.

If we weren't supposed to pay attention to it then what exactly was the fucking point for making it?

8 McCain and O'Bama both suck.

We are fucking screwed.

9 They were mostly upset that the Latin was getting mistranslated as "Truly a Pussy" instead of "Join My Posse".

10 Who cares about this distraction? What about Bush's smirk? That's what we ought to be talking about!

11 Obama overuled by grownups - Seal out, will have to wait until he becomes president.

13 I'm expecting that if the Obamessiah wins the presidential election contest (after all, these two clowns are contestants, not candidates) the stars on the 50 stars (57 if you count like Obamessiah) will be replaced by a yellow hammer and sickle, and the USA will be renamed to the United Soviet Socialist States of America (USSSA). I cringe.

14 I hoped for that seal to change...or just go away.

Posted by: DirtCrashr at June 23, 2008 12:57 PM (VNM5w)

15 At lest McCain doesn't want to ram another phony "Assault Weapon" bill down everybody's throat and take away your guns they way they have in Chicago.

Posted by: DirtCrashr at June 23, 2008 12:59 PM (VNM5w)

16 One step into the mouth, two steps back.

At this rate, Obama will be running AGAINST Carter.

17 It's so sad that it is already out there....everywhere.

21 That was not the seal I knew.

22 I'm sure whomever got tossed under the bus was "a volunteer with no formal ties to the campaign, beyond being the chief of staff and getting a paycheck."

23 Did he club it first?

Posted by: IllTemperedCur at June 23, 2008 02:08 PM (Ds4I5)

Anyone remember the first two years of Bubba?

That will look like the gold standard of leadership and decisiveness compared to what we now face.

25 It didn't help that the thing was enormous. I mean, seriously, it's larger than the big O's entire upper body. Nice marketing there.

Posted by: Vero Possumus at June 23, 2008 02:12 PM (EQYOq)

26 That's not the Obama seal I remember.

Posted by: Vero Possumus at June 23, 2008 02:14 PM (EQYOq)

27 Anyone else think that the Obama campaign is run like a cook making spaghetti. Throwing it on the wall to see which batches stick. With the MSM applauding the great work while ignoring the noodle covered floor.

Posted by: buzzion at June 23, 2008 02:14 PM (Lrsi6)

28 Well, that CHANGEd pretty quick.

I'm betting that whoever put those seven .22's in the back of Sam Giancana's head has probably already taken care of whoever dreamed this up.

Posted by: Purple Avenger at June 23, 2008 02:17 PM (dcqty)

Ace, check your mail... I have sent you a much improved version of the Great Seal Of Obama. When they see this one, his base will insist they re-adopt it!!

30 This is all just a distraction. Just remember hopey-changey.

31 I miss the nuance of yesteryear.

32 We're going to need a bigger memory hole to stuff shit down.

This photoshop doesn't help my kids.

35 21 We're going to need a bigger memory hole to stuff shit down.

Don't worry, at the rate Obama is digging, the hole will be plenty big enough.

Posted by: XBradTC at June 23, 2008 02:32 PM (kddTy)

36 Someone needs to photoshop Winnie the Pooh onto Obambi's seal. And we need a 527 to pick up the best photoshops and run with them till November. Mockery will be a killer for The Presumptive Messiah.

Posted by: Slim at June 23, 2008 02:41 PM (jxXOI)

37 Bam Bam apparently has his own motto on his pre-presidential seal. For any of you Latin speakers out there, what does "vero possumus" mean?

I am guessing it means, "I see a possum" but I could be wrong.

Posted by: WalrusRex at June 23, 2008 02:49 PM (DVVXZ)

38 It was amusing was reading all of his supporters saying how wonderful it was, that this was some sort of work of genius. It's also what happens when you do your market testing and research in an echo chamber full of True Believers. Now that this thing has been disappeared, I'd love to see their reactions to being so stupidly wrong. They've probably MovedOn™.

But I wonder what happened to the real thing? Will they put it up on eBay? Maybe someday it'll appear in the Barry Obama Presidential Shrine next to the piece of the True Cross and the Holy Grail.

39 Obama caves on everything. How will he ever stand up to the slightest pressure from Iran.

42 How will he ever stand up to the slightest pressure from Iran.

Iran will cave instantly. The comfy chair scares the crap out of them.

43 The significant thing about Obama's seal is that it dispensed TOTALLY with the stars and the stripes. He really hates this country and its symbols.

Posted by: Indga at June 23, 2008 03:15 PM (UI2Wi)

44 Look bitches, the first thing I intend to change is that damn stars and stripes. My country's flag has got to have unicorns.

If we weren't supposed to pay attention to it then what exactly was the fucking point for making it?

It's a distraction and, frankly, not helping my kids dad become President of the United States of America and that, my semi-retarded wingnut friends, is the standard by which all news items must be judged. Plus I'm black which makes any questioning of my judgement or actions kind of racist don't you think?

Okay, here's my improved version:

So, did you hear about this Obama guy? He's in the news again. Evidently he blew a seal.

Posted by: penguin comedian at June 23, 2008 05:06 PM (FgxdU)

A seal walks into a bar and orders a whiskey. The bartender asks if he wants any particular brand. The seal says "Anything's okay except that fucking Canadian Club!"

Yeah, it's old, but golden... especially if you have lots of holier-than-thou Canadian friends and in-laws!

Posted by: sherlock at June 23, 2008 05:20 PM (ojW85)

49 Yeah it was so arrogant and stupid that even the legacy media was mocking it. One step too far, he'll do it a few more times. Rookie mistakes.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at June 23, 2008 05:29 PM (0+Ggj)

50 No shit, Sherlock. Good stuff. I hear Obama's new motto is "pulli domum adsidere".

Posted by: mrobvious at June 23, 2008 05:32 PM (apDYv)

51 Fuck. You.

Fuck Obama and Fuck Canadians.

I don't give a shit if the mechanic said it was only Mayonnaise. It wasn't.

So blow me.
