Obama Changes U.S. Presidential Seal
Yahoo! News via Drudgereport.Com ^ | 06/20/2008 | (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)

... Obama's says 'Vero possumus', rough Latin for 'Yes, we can.' Instead of 'Seal of the President of the United States', Obama's Web site address is listed. And instead of a shield, Obama's eagle wears his 'O' campaign logo with a rising sun representing hope ahead. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)

Searched for the Drudge title and saw no hit. Sorry if posted before but I think this definitely deserves its own thread. But, of course, I don't care for Mr. Obama's pinko commie politics and find it very presumptuous and disrespectful to change the seal of the Office of the U.S. President. But that's just me.

His terrorist buddies would certainly like for it to be a crescent moon, that’s for certain. And he’s sympathetic to their causes, as we’ve already proven.

From a previous thread:

Illegal much? Found this at AceofSpades.com

18 USCS § 713

Use of likenesses of the great seal of the United States, the seals of the President and Vice President, the seal of the United States Senate, the seal of the United States House of Representatives, and the seal of the United States Congress

(a) Whoever knowingly displays any printed or other likeness of the great seal of the United States, or of the seals of the President or the Vice President of the United States, or the seal of the United States Senate, or the seal of the United States House of Representatives, or the seal of the United States Congress, or any facsimile thereof, in, or in connection with, any advertisement, poster, circular, book, pamphlet, or other publication, public meeting, play, motion picture, telecast, or other production, or on any building, monument, or stationery, for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

A couple of observations:

It’s UN Blue.

It’s backed up by the homosexual rainbow.

The shield of protection has been replaced with Obama’s protection.

I hope we can defeat this disgusting creep. He’s anti-American so much he even messes with the seal of President, which if the above is accurate, means it’s illegal.

Don’t think this is the same thing. THis says you can’t use the seal for advertisement or promotions. It doesn’t say anything about disfigurement or changing it for use.

Barack Obama’s problems (in order of importance):

1) his Marxism
2) his eagerness to appease our deadly enemies, especially Iran
3) his plans to tax and spend America into the ground
4) the Muslim question
5) his radical connections
6) his wife
7) his messing around with the Presidential Seal

Just trying to keep things in perspective!

He gets creepier every day. There are no boundaries of decency with this man.

But then, he voted four times to let babies die if they survived an abortion attempt.

Need anything be said after that? It wouldn’t seem so.

Replacing the motto of the United States with his own campaign slogan is repugnant.

And what do the arrows in the eagles talon supposed to represent for Obama?

On the POTUS seal it represents the might of the United States military.

He is a junior senator with NO military experience.

The grand arrogance to do such a thing.

National symbols mean nothing to this man unless of course he can use them for himself.

The more I learn about his guy, the more dangerous I think he is.

He’s used a lot of communist-type themes in his stuff. He’s used ‘Obama girl’ and pretended he didn’t know it was created by his own people to use sex to sell his “family-oriented” campaign.

I’d say it stands for snake oil.

You better watch what you say about Obama’s Great Seal. Once Obama becomes President, you are going to need the Obama Seal to buy and sell goods. ;-)

OK, seriously this seal incident just proves how immature the people around Obama are. The seal looks like something a kid running for high school student council president would think up.
