Wonkette
The national press corps is not used to covering a “confident” Democratic presidential candidate, at least in this decade. So much confidence, in fact, that the candidate won’t always bend over backwards to talk to the press, or to leak internal drama to the press! Ergo, the press has decided that Obama is arrogant. And when they saw Obama speak behind this new “great seal” of his on Friday — definitely the lamest stunt we can remember from Hopey — this confirmed to the press that Obama is too arrogant. Obama arrogantly got the message and arrogantly ditched the great seal and did some other arrogant stuff, like believe he might actually win this thing. [Marc Ambinder]

…in Hopey we trust?
A toast to this great loss to satirists everywhere.
God damn it. Come on, Barry leave us *something* to mock. The possum seal would’ve been a freaking goldmine…
When he appropriates the seventh seal for his use, we’ll know he’s the Anti-Christ.
This seal needs clubbing.
To be fair, it is kind of a lame seal, but I’m pretty sure the press in general is starting to act like a catty girl who thought you were going to ask her to prom, but didn’t.
Canuckledragger: Signed, sealed, delivered, unsealed.
Also, it bears mentioning, and hopefully nobody said this already, but that is totally Colbert’s eagle.
Screw the Eagle, he needs a big, mothafuckin’ dick up in there, show whitey whass’ up!
When I saw Barack on the campaign trail paying for his freedom waffles with ObamaDollars, then I really knew the depth of his arrogance.
…a photo shot of the seal WALNUTS! does his speeches in front of!

This whole seal thing sounds a little to Dr. Paul for my taste. Nice try though Barry.
He should just nail the singer Seal to the podium like Jesus.
Let’s use all this election’s buzzwords: The bitters accused him of elitism, so he threw it under a bus.
tunamelt: in blue. It looks like the Colbert eagle in blue. Also Sam the Eagle. ugh.
Aww, I don’t think this seal is more ridiculous than most presidential-hopeful logos. And I like the color scheme.
‘the unbearable arrogance of Obama’, courtesy Rove (of all people) — from TPM.
Geeze he sucks; does karl recognize in any way the scope of his failure? Tapper does get a nice dig in.
nbawriter: He should just nail the singer Seal.
They just use “arrogant”, ’cause their editors have a fit when they use “uppity”.
qwerty42: Rove is just jealous of Barry’s charisma and luck with the ladies. The last 7 plus years are evidence of his inadequacy complex.
Barry, reminds me of the old Seattle Seahawks football team and a game I watch long ago. The Hawks were ahead of the Broncos 37-7 at the last of the third quarter. The Hawks started shucking and jiving and giving each other high fives and thought the game was in the bag. The Hawks let down and lost concentration and quit playing the game, it was over. However, no one told that to Brono’s and the Bronco’s wound up winning 38-7. The Hawks didn’t know how to close the deal and I’m afraid that is where Barry is headed, he does not know how to win. As the old saying goes, talks cheap but it takes money to buy whiskey!
Now Obama’s blown a seal — finally he and Jeff Gannon have something in common.
NedPepper: How did the Seahawks LOSE 30 points in the span of a quarter? Sounds like some bullshit Canadian football to me.
qwerty42: The comments, as usual, are the best part.
I stopped here: “As a lifelong democrat now voting for McCain, I’ll pass along what my teenage son said about Rove. “Karl Rove..evil genuis. But at least now he is OUR evil genuis!”
Misspelling of “genius” is in the original.
qwerty42: OMG Rove is such a scumbag.
“Even if you never met him, you know this guy,” Rove said, per Christianne Klein. “He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by.”
That’s a candidate Wonkette can get behind. Rove is the guy at the country club standing behind a heaping plate of hors d’oeuvres, telling everyone within earshot about the one guy who had a colored baby.
Did anyone else notice that the eagle is clutching a head of arugula in one claw and a bundle of albino asparagus in the other?
No diamond-covered dollar sign?
tunamelt: I thought it was good luck when an eagle crapped on you. Point of clarification, that would be the flying type eagle and not the fraternal type.
NedPepper: “The Hawks didn’t know how to close the deal and I’m afraid that is where Barry is headed, he does not know how to win.”
Sure, dipshit. Share that news with Clinton, Edwards, Dodd, Biden, Richardson, Kucinich, Gravel.
Fact is, some dumb fucks don’t know how to lose. Get used to it, loser.
NedPepper: The Hawks were ahead of the Broncos 37-7 but the Broncos ended up winning 38-7? LOLz.
El Bombastico: I’m a bit fuzzy on the numbers, it was years ago, but they blew a huge lead, I think Craig Morton was at quarterback, it was before Elway.
NedPepper: Oh hi Ned you’re still here!
4tehlulz: Genuis is serious buisness!
NedPepper: Come back when the fuzziness clears, honey.
Canuckledragger: Another set of enlightening comments, I see you putting out. I was referring to McCain, the points are lost on you.
Serolf Divad: I thought it was a feather duster and a rolling pin, and the eagle was dropping it off to Hillz.
How do you say “do my laundry” in Latin?
NedPepper: I think you missed my point, but I hear you. If I were the ref, I would deduct 30 points from a team for starting Craig Morton also.
BTW: The “Vero Possimus” really completes the room.
NedPepper: “I was referring to McCain, the points are lost on you.”
Listen up, tard. If you were “referring to McCain,” then should your post at some point perhaps have included the name “McCain?” You expect us to read your [what passes for a] mind? You are as literate as you are numerate.
Now go back to the kiddies’ table where you belong.
AngryBlakGuy:
When are we gonna get in-line graphics in comments? Serolf Divad has been disenfranchised. He may be only 4/5ths of a Wonk until this tragic state of affairs develops into Reconstruction.
nbawriter: Vero possumus, yo. Don’t diminish the comedy.
Canuckledragger: Well, I guess your big boy training diapers must be full and you’re colicky. I’m doing my job and giving you diaper rash.
NedPepper: You ain’t even doin’ that chump.
The opening bid here is snark. Bring it or fuck off!
Good. It was Hitlerian IMNSHO.
I met the Obama seal and all it said was ‘Ar! Ar!’, clapped its flippers and balanced a ball on its nose.
Also, that is one fucking stout eagle. Hey! Wouldn’t it be cool if it were fitted to a magnesium spotlight of the type used (formerly) by car dealers and projected onto clouds? Sort of a Bat..er..Hope Signal. Or maybe not.
Serolf Divad: Thank you, Divad, I’ve gone and urinated myself..at work..
NedPepper: Wait, so you’re saying Canuckledragger’s diapers are full, and you‘re the one giving Canuckledragger diaper rash… so… did you just call yourself a poopy diaper?
TGY: Sort of a ‘frisbee eagle’. You could print it on a round..sayyyyyy, hey! Oh, never mind.
AxmxZ: How kind of Ned Pooper to self-identify, huh, AxmxZ?
NedPepper: Do your “job” elsewhere, asshat…
NedPepper: Wait… I thought your “job” was “English Language and Punctuation Mangler.”
Canuckledragger: Think A&D ointment.
Rove is SO JELLUS!
NedPepper: …you know the other team is running on empty when their hacks start comparing their opponents to the Sea Hawks! Gimme a fukkin break, if your candidate is such a worthless pile of shit that you have pray that the other guy trips up so that he can win then it is time to throw in the towel. All your code words for “He is black” haven’t gotten WALNUTS!(or Hillz for that matter) anywhere. So continue to be narrow minded racist, meanwhile Barry will be “Shukin and Jivin” his way into the end zone.
Tits_LaRue: Tits are they real or installed?
AxmxZ:
A saggy diaper that leaks.
Quacker: …trust me I feel your pain!
AngryBlakGuy: Well then with all that said, shall we get back to the point at hand?
NedPepper: Oh, shit, now I’m embarrassed… you really are 11 years old! Kid, someday, when that thing in your “no-no area” grows some more, along with your “happy bags,” come back and see us and we’ll be glad to virtually kneecap you. Until then, really, stay in school.
Argh … was one borderline retard metaphor worth wasting this many posts on a topic that has this much potential. Where’s Mrs. Derrick with the yardstick when you need her?
If he’s going to have his own seal, I think he should have an official Hopey Anthem as well.
I suggest “Let The Eagle Soar” — cuz that fucking thing brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
Wow I thought the Seal was a little bit over confident. I mean this guy takes imagery to a whole new level. Have you seen what he has on his new site? I mean yikes, Hope hes not the anti christ.

Serolf Divad: Barry should keep the eagler for the camp value but change the motto from “Vero possumus” to whatever the Latin would be for “Take a load off the healthcare system: eat your freaking vegetables!”
Serolf Divad: Fresh produce for the garde manger over at the National Democratic Club:

Canuckledragger: I think someone needs to sit Neddy in front of the TeeVee and turn on “Happy Gilmore.” For him, it would qualify as instructional video.
Shooter McGavin: I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast.
Happy Gilmore: You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
Shooter McGavin: No… I…
FAIL.
pastor mike: One of those websites where FAIL screams at you from every direction.
Take the opening sentence: “TheObamaPlan.com is designed to educate Americans of the stance Barak Obama has on some very important issues.”
‘Nuff said.
Shit Hopey…let’s get it all out in the open. Have ‘em work up a GIANT NEGRO ERECTION with a coupla white girls hanging off it. That aughta give America something to preoccuply itself with for a coupla days.
AxmxZ: Oh, the web site is beyond FAIL. Where do you even begin? The picture of Obama wearing a huge afro, the fact that they bring up the fact he smokes and that he turned down heroin. Or the line “…but voted yes for redolploying troops…” Or that they accuse him, in one sentence of being muslim, agnostic AND Catholic.
That being said, the logo was actually kinda creepy.
“Preoccuply:” to ply the media method of obsessive preoccupation, such as missing affluent white girls. Yeah…dats it.
Maybe he should replace it with a
beautiful snowflake. http://web.media.mit.edu/~hugo/art/iamabeautifulsnowflake/
Q2: Oh please. Barry is so white inside he probably gets scared of his own morning wood.
travellabyrinth: Hm. That snowflake-a-thon logo is clearly an agglomerate of numerous Magen Davids, so this might play well in Florida.
AxmxZ: I love you for saying Magen Davids! It even has the right color scheme. Also reminds me of a couple giant coke razors stuck together, which, again, should play well in Florida.
He wanted the eagle to have bigger ears and be holding a pack of KOOLS in his talons.
