Considering his views on military force, and his love of new taxes, he needs to take the arrows out of the eagles talon and replace them with a dollar symbol. |

Yeah, RG, he is, but don’t worry about it. The Ickes of the day works for the opposition.
Nothing to see here. Move along quietly.

It just seems so ... overt. I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be. He’s using a blue eagle on his smears website as well. |

Oddly, when I first saw this Obama-seal, the first thing I thought of was that the shade of blue that was used seemed to make it fit so well into the 1984 Apple Macintosh commercial. |

I wonder if asked whether his comment will be "It wasn’t the seal I once knew." |
