Visit Guerillawomen.blogspot.com today to join the hilarity breaking out across the internet and cable news networks in response to the presentation of the newly revised United States Presidential Seal that honors – here it comes – the one and only Barack Obama! Here’s a sample:
“National Review: Audacity defined: Changing the seal of the United States of America and inserting the "O" logo for the American flag and as well as changing "E PLURIBUS UNUM" to "VERO POSSUMUS."

ReplyDeleteHi Crazy Dreamer,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Yes, the logo is pretty outlandish - who would've thought?
Keep in touch.
Crazy! What more is there to say? Arrogant!
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your reaction to the Great Seal of Obama. Please do stay in touch.
I read one fruitbat conservative blog that claimed the Obama "seal" was an illegal misuse of The Great Seal of the President of the United States. It isn't illegal.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, I reckon most scaredy-cats have never heard of The Ramones nor have they seen The Ramones' logo/presidential seal--the eagle is grasping a baseball bat in one of its talons and used to great effect I might add.

Powerful images are appropriated all the time. It's called art.
