The handwriting on the wall--in praise of Jack Lew's signature [Ignoring Lew's Partisanship]
Washington Post ^ | 1/10/13 | Alexandra Petri

Posted on 01/11/2013 4:47:12 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

Jack Lew, President Obama’s nominee for Treasury Secretary, has by far the greatest signature of any public official....

Jack Lew’s signature is such that if he had put it on the Declaration of Independence and the revolution had gone badly, he would have escaped just fine. There is no risk involved. He might have felt pangs of conscience as a stranger named “OOOOOOOO” was strung up in his place. But there is no chance of tracing it to him.

But what does it say?That is not how you spell “Jack Lew.” Is it an alias?Is there some message in all this?

KEYWORDS: garbage; jobs; journalism; signature; taxes
I post this only to point out how the Obama butt licking media LOVES focusing on this kind of trivial s#!+, but except for a few exceptions (Larry Kudlow is one) THE MEDIA IS IGNORING Lew's extreme partisanship.....

If a Republican president nominated the conservative equivalent of Lew, the media would ignore his quirky signature and focus on his inability to "get along with the other side".

Journalism today smells of dung.

It's hardly an inimitable signature, is it?

Between THAT BS and “O’s” auto signatures, all integrity and gravitas has been programmed OUT of governance!

What next... Presidents working from home or their own private bunker somewhere and guarded by their OWN Praetorians?

In PRAISE of his signature? Guess they are as loopy as he is.

Many O’s, or zeros, maybe.

Exactly what our dollar will be worth once this bunch is done with it.

“But what does it say?”

It says, “The high affectation is this signature tells the world that the person who penned it is a malignant narcissist.” Truly... it’s pretty common knowledge among shrinks that people whose signatures are over-the-top showy, generally unrecognizable, and cannot be connected to the person, are blatant nut-job narcissists.

We had a mayor whose “signature” was a huge “Z” followed by a period. None of his names began with a “Z”. Complete weird-o and in love with himself.

I just wonder if such a signature would be accepted on a mortgage application.

So many know the phrase “handwriting on the wall”, but don’t know the full implication of what it means. When they find out, it’s way too late.

Isn’t he required to have two signatures certifying that it is his “mark”?

Listened to a wonderful sermon by RC Sproul recently that had to do with God’s providence and how He judges the nations....

America may be headed the way of Belshazzar; we certainly have been weighed in the scales and been found lacking...I pray God spares the remnant....

I’m on the same page as you. Another attempt at diversion or is this truly the mindset of the careless and shallow?

Fox news showed a hostess cupcake last night...with the swirly frosting on it. That was about the only thing that was humorous.

I wonder how many networks carried Senator Jeff Session’s comments?
And 0bama, that arrogant, smug, rat B&&%%$#$d, with his ‘in your face’ introduction/nomination. I could just spit. ptoooey. Javk Lew balance d the budget three times. Right. ptooey again. I so despise these people.

Actually, I think this would be the most appropriate signature for currency under the Obama regime. Funny money with a bunch of “o’s” printed on it. How long until we need a barrel full of it to by a loaf of bread?

I’ve heard that a signature like this means that person is hiding things about himself. Doesn’t want to self identify. Don’t expect accountability on their part.

Bunch of zeros strung together just like dear leader.

Or it could be some fruit loops lined up.

That is not Jack Lew’s signature. It is an ancient hieroglyphic meaning “Infinite Debt”.

“The high affectation is this signature tells the world that the person who penned it is a malignant narcissist.”
