Just ask, ahem, President Obama. Seems the big guy lost a magnetic presidential seal that was affixed to the side of his limousine as he wrapped up a fundraising visit to Philly on Thursday.
The seal flew off the side of the limo and whipped by motorists in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 76, where it was presumed lost . . . until shortly before noon yesterday.
That's when a veteran Philadelphia police officer found the seal on the side of the highway, near the Montgomery Avenue exit, while he was assisting the driver of a disabled vehicle, said Cynthia Wofford, the special agent in charge of the U.S. Secret Service Philadelphia field office.
"The officer was a part of the presidential motorcade the night before," Wofford said. "It was turned over, so it wasn't so obvious, but he found it for us."
Wofford said members of the motorcade saw the seal fall from Obama's limo as it traveled on the expressway.
A handful of law-enforcement officials tried searching for the seal in the darkness on Thursday to no avail.
"We're very grateful. It's in my office now, but it will be shipped back to Washington, D.C.," Wofford said.
The Police Department declined to identify the officer.
Obama's presidential seal has made the news at least once before,
On Oct. 5, 2010, as the president was addressing Fortune magazine's 2010 Most Powerful Women Summit at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C., his speech was interrupted when the seal on the front of the lectern clattered to the floor.
ROFLOL.
that’s funny. I said the same thing. Great minds, eh????
Why isn’t the Presidential Seal Painted on?
Weird.
Jinx as HELL!! SOB can’t stand him!!
LOL
Post of the Day!
Good Catch!
Maybe it doubles up as a pimp-mobile after hours.
“I heard it was found next to the Economy, in the ditch on the side of the road!”
OOOOH good one!! I just wish the RNC was just as creative!
This makes twice for the seal to show as the Seal of Disapproval.
I’m trying to figure out the logistics here. Obama flies from Andrews AFB to Philadelphia on Air Force One. How did the Presidential Limo (plus escort vehicles) get there? Did someone drive them there in advance? Or did they use a C-5 or C-17 in addition to the 747?
The cost of fund raising trips that all Presidents and congress critters go on, should be taken out of whatever is raised and any remainder billed to the candidate or campaigner.
How much does it cost to scoot the president all around the nation to raise money? It would be cheaper just to pay the bastard.
Baaaad....Omen....He he!!!!!
Can you imagine being flipped off fifty times a day?

Omen indeed. Rats and flies too.
Flashback:
Presidential seal falls off podium as Obama speaks
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2602242/posts
The presidential seal has fallen off President Barack Obama’s podium and clattered to the stage as Obama delivered a speech to a women’s conference.
Had I recovered it, my daughter’s 175 lb Great Dane would have done the butt scrub drag across it topped of by a passing hike-leg whiz before it was returned...
Omen indeed! It happened today, July 2nd, the day the delegates voted for independence in 1776, just outside of Philly (duh!) while the car was traveling east-bound—the opposite direction of our national expansion—a retrograde direction.
Karma is a .....!
Being driven by the Democrats!
I wonder if they’re worried about terrorism, and that’s why they tried so hard to recover it.
