At the Official Obama Site: Reactions to the Faux Presidential Seal
In the official mybarackobama.com community blogs, some Obamatons were not impressed with Barack Obama’s new logo.
Not to mention his FISA surrender.
The ridicule is just rolling in. What were they thinking? Who is driving this bus?
Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | Sharon Spooner’s Blog: On FISA and ‘seals’
First, that “seal” on display during the Democratic governors’ meeting was pretty lame. Sen. Obama, you know we love you and we’re willing to donate, volunteer and make phone calls on your behalf. But you haven’t been elected president yet, so don’t start acting like it with something that looks like a quasi-presidential seal. (Don’t forget that you’ve still got to get rid of the “elitist” label with some voters.) I’m still hoping that it was a one-time joke. And the “Yes We Can” in Latin reminded me of Hogwarts.
Second, many of your supporters are very disappointed with your statement on the FISA “compromise.” This was no compromise; this was total capitulation. Senator, you taught constitutional law. You KNOW this breaks the Fourth Amendment. Please reconsider voting in favor of this bad law. Then, when you become president and you have a bigger majority in both the House and Senate, you can redo the FISA law with the proper protections. And no immunity.
