Barack Obama sure likes his symbolism.
Who can ever forget the hopeful rising sun coming up over a horizon of stripes, suggesting a new day of change coming?
Or the Obama for President seal, complete with a spread-eagled eagle, heart filled with the hope of Obama's first seal?
And certainly not the self-adulatory hubris of the Office of the President Elect.
Today President Obama unleashed the latest creation of his egomaniacal mind, a stamp that will forever glorify (and transform, I'm sure) all the wasteful projects stemming from his porkulus spending bill, ARRA.
President Obama announced today that his administration will begin stamping an emblem on projects funded by the economic stimulus packageso that people can easily recognize the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act....

Excellent critique!!! The government suppressing ineffective industry and weak agriculture is the predominant message.
Not very “hope”ful.
INTREP
LOL...good one!
I got your symbol right here!
Between the Wheels - lyrics by Rush - the band! (Gears are just fancy wheels!)
....
You know how that rabbit feels
Going under your speeding wheels
Bright images flashing by
Like windshields towards a fly
Frozen in the fatal climb-
But the wheels of time-
Just pass you by...
Wheels can take you around
Wheels can cut you down
We can go from boom to bust
From dreams to a bowl of dust
We can fall from rockets’ red glare
Down to “Brother can you spare-”
Another war-another waste land-
And another lost generation...
I was just noticing that when I read your post. I'm going to draw those gears in 3d and show they don't work. Who needs gear theory.
I wonder how the people-who-get-offended would be crying out if a Bush agency had made a logo with a cross in it? They would be accusing all conservatives of pushing God! on them against their will.
I have no idea why this artist decided to put that symbol in the logo.
0bama the Magic Nero?
his symbol should be the blue screen of death
Gee.
Another socialist party look-alike symbol.
Ugly. Like Russia’s symbols.
I like it. Represents the country they’re shafting, the stuff they’re smoking, and the screws and nuts that it and support them.
Looks like Il Douche is as enamored of his symbolism as much as Moose and Adolf. His talent in design, however...
the dreaded fascist blue eagle stamp. if it doesn’t get a stamp it was not going to sell very well, because govt would make sure it didn’t
The only symbol I recognize.
its the modern hammer and sickle
Nice comments regarding the symbolism.
Here’s a bump to an old thread about a booklet written in 1938 called “The Revolution Was” about FDR and the New Deal. It makes me SICK to see this all happening AGAIN!

Excerpt:
The scientific study of revolution included of course analysis of opportunity. First and always the master of revolutionary technic is an opportunist. He must know opportunity when he sees it in the becoming; he must know how to stalk it, how to let it ripen, how to adapt his means to the realities.......
The Great Depression as it developed here was such an opportunity as might have been made to order.....
...But never before had there been one so hard and never before had there been the danger that a revolutionary elite would be waiting to take advantage of it.
This revolutionary elite was nothing you could define as a party. It had no name, no habitat, no rigid line.... What it represented was a quantity of bitter intellectual radicalism infiltrated from the top downward as a doctorhood of professors, writers, critics, analysts, advisers, administators, directors of research, and so on a prepared revolutionary intelligence in spectacles. There was no plan to begin with. But there was a shibboleth that united them all: “Capitalism is finished.”
The prestige of the elite was natural for many reasons; but it rested also upon one practical consideration. When the opportunity came a Gracchus would be needed. The elite could produce one. And that was something the Communist Party could not hope to do.
So lemme see - the top half is government lording it over the bottom half - the proletariat (agriculture and industry worker bees)?
Or The Won is symbolized by the very stars in the heavens and we are to put our spiritual faith (the red cross of the gear) and economic faith (the stylized money colored cross of the plant) in The Won?
(On a conscious level - Did they MEAN those implications? Or did they happen because (unconsciously) the Obamabots THINK that way and thus (naturally) could think of NOTHING that could work efficiently in a manufactoriubg plant?
