Charles Leazott hadn’t thought about the seal in months. The 46-year-old graphic designer threw it together after the 2016 presidential election — it was one part joke, one part catharsis. He used to be a proud Republican. He voted for George W. Bush. Twice. But Donald J. Trump’s GOP was no longer his party. So he created a mock presidential seal to prove his point. He substituted the arrows in the eagle’s claw for a set of golf clubs — a nod to the new president’s favorite pastime. In the other set of talons, he swapped the olive branch for...

At first glance, there was nothing unusual about President Trump’s introduction Tuesday at Turning Point USA’s student summit. In many ways, it mirrored the production style that has become synonymous with Trump’s campaign rallies. Following a 12-minute video illustrating Trump’s rise to the presidency, music blared as the president’s name flashed across a giant screen in a bold shade of red. Trump took the stage and soaked in the raucous cheers from hundreds of young supporters packed inside the Marriott Marquis in Washington. Charlie Kirk, Turning Point’s outspoken founder and executive director, was on his left. But the image on...

Hillary Clinton as next president was always at the heart of Obama’s cursed Fundamental Transformation of America Help! Barack Hussein Obama made a selfie out of his presidential seal in North Carolina on Tuesday. “Barack Obama gave Hillary Clinton a lift to their campaign rally in North Carolina on Air Force One yesterday. (Gateway Pundit, July 6, 2016) “This was moments after the FBI Director exonerated Hillary Clinton for her “reckless” use of top secret government documents.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton received one perk on Tuesday campaigning with the sitting president: the opportunity to campaign behind the presidential seal. Clinton appeared behind the official seal while campaigning with President Obama at an event in Charlotte, N.C., where she ripped into GOP presidential rival Donald Trump as unserious. "Can you imagine him sitting in the Oval Office the next time America faces a crisis?" Clinton asked at the event, her first campaign appearance with Obama. "The world hangs on every word our president says, and Donald Trump is simply unqualified and temperamentally unfit to be our...

Dear leader's White House twitter account's background image has a fallen Eagle as in upside down.

President Obama spoke from behind a podium emblazoned with the official presidential seal during a campaign event Wednesday morning in Las Vegas. The event, which took place at the Canyon Springs High School, was designated as a “campaign event” on the White House’s official daily schedule for the president. A backdrop that can bee seen behind the president notes that the event was “paid for by Obama for America,” the president’s reelection campaign.

[snip] 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...

I’m sure as soon as happened he was thinking it’d be an open field day on him imagery wise, as Breitbart.tv points out. To his credit, he actually handled the situation quite well. Take a look at the video.

Hey, I'm not the one who keeps saying we need to remake America, I'm just feeding President Obama a suggestion here...(a big thanks to Chlorinated Liberty for the idea) Click to see a larger version The Looking Spoon is a conservative humor/satire/art/commentary blog, visit www.thelookingspoon.com to see more posts and art

Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for Obama's campaign, said Monday that the altered seal would not be used again. She said it was only intended for that event, in which Obama held a round-table discussion with Democratic governors. -- AP story, June 23, 2008 [emphasis added] Hat tip teoman. Add Obama's pledge to drop the faux presidential seal to his list of "inoperative" statements. The image shown here [and another seen at foot after break] are taken from the current version of "Fight the Smears," an official Obama website that purports to debunk false rumors about the candidate.

Barack Obama stepped in it this time or sat behind it, that is. Sitting at a short rostrum at a meeting with Democrat governors, Barack Obama launched the “seal” of his campaign. His image makers figure that if they want him to look presidential and not like a little kid who is not ready for prime time -- they created something that looked like the Seal of the President of the United States. The problem is he looks more like he’s participating in a Saturday Night Live sketch, instead of being presidential. If you have ever been to an event...

Watching Barack Obama delivering a campaign speech from behind his very own, new-and-improved presidential seal, all I can say is this: I, for one, welcome our new liberal overlords. Oh, come on, my fellow conservatives - don’t you read Newsweek? Aren’t you watching PBS? Obama has a 15 percent lead, has flip-flopped on campaign spending and therefore is president in all but name only. Any day now, he’ll be spotted in D.C. with Deval Patrick, picking out new White House drapes. So we all might as well get with the mainstream media program and bow to the new regime of...

Will the Obama people stop at nothing? Don't they have any deciency? When I was watching Fox TV at 6:05 pm and BHO was having the meeting with the Governors, I noticed the seal in front of him. I told my husband, "That looks like the Presidential Seal". Sure enough the Fox reporters discussed it and showed how it looked the same, but with BHO's name on it. He thinks he is the President of the United States already. Someone has to put a stop to this seal that he uses. He has no respect for the President of the...

Just when the flag pin issue was dieing down, it seems Barak Obama has some explaining to do about a revised presidential seal on his website that shows an American flag being pierced by an arrow. First picked up by by Freeper "prayforpeaceofJerusalem", the logo also shows what appears to be an American Eagle in retreat and a rising moon. "I don’t know how to begin a thread, yet...and am not confident enough to do so anyway, but please, some of you, bring attention to he fact that Obama’s logo, as seen on his web site, http://www.barackobama.com/images/bg.jpg shows an arrow...

The White House is not amused by The Onion, a on-line newspaper that often spoofs the Bush administration, and has asked it to stop using the presidential seal on its website. The seal was still on the website yesterday at the spot where President George W. Bush's weekly radio address is parodied.

EDINBURGH, Scotland (Reuters) - Their relationships with two of the world's most famous men brought international scandals -- but Monica Lewinsky and Rebecca Loos both used the media onslaught to boost their bank balances. "You'd be an idiot not to get the money," said Lewinsky, the former White House intern whose affair with then-President Bill Clinton (news - web sites) nearly drove him from office. "Advertisers, television stations, news anchors -- everyone else is making money. Your story is a commodity," added Lewinsky, who received a reported $718,800 for an interview with Britain's Channel 4. Loos, whose alleged affair with...
