		<description>Wow!  There are so many haters out there, all using the bible to bash Obama and his logo.  Are you THAT scared?  Are you THAT jealous that you don&#039;t have the equivalent of a &quot;W&quot; bumper sticker this election?  Because I know that all of you who are bashing this logo had &quot;W&quot; all over your cars.  Hypocrisy.

How about this biblical twist on your guy: &quot;Un-Abel and McCain&quot;

You can have that one for free.</description>

		<description>I just happened on the logo site and as a business person I have to say that I have been absolutely in awe of the Obama campaign from the marketing strategy standpoint overall.  The starting point for me is the brilliant logo which does what it is supposed to do.  It is flexible for use in different media, for linking up supporters&#039; design efforts and it is a positive but simple stand-in for the message of the campaign - change, new hope and openness.  

While some may think there are negative connotations, I submit that many will not.  A huge portion of this campaign and movement is directed at young people and they will not immediately link it to the Imperial Japanese image.  That is something that happens with older generations whose perspectives are framed by the WWII experience.  Their frames of reference may not even include the Viet Nam war! 

Nice job, design team.  I saw a sterling lapel pin on a man yesterday that was clearly the Obama logo - it looked so elegant and  understated.  But the message was loud and clear.</description>

		<description>I think the logo was well done.  Whether you like Obama or not I think people would agree it was well thought out. Logos are a difficult thing to create.  It actually took me about 2 years and several mock-ups to come up with my brand logo.  Check it out here.  www.G-bags.com</description>

		<description>Wow, I just googled &quot;Obama logo&quot; and came to this site, which seems to have segued from an appreciation of the logo to a diatribe against Obama and everything negative he&#039;s ever been accused of being. This logo is like a political Rorschach test. Personally, I see it as an updated stylized Kansas flag (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1355600/flag-of-Kansas) although it had to be done in red, white and blue, because he&#039;s a Democrat and it&#039;s required, apparently. Only McCain got to use black.</description>

		<description>As with all abstract visual design, the beholder is interpreting the image through the filter of their own experiences. In other words, you see what you want to see. If you see a mushroom cloud, that tells more about you than the design. I am really tired of nutjobs who just bash everything and never bring anything constructive to the table. Country is going to hell in a handbasket, and all you do is diss when somebody is trying to fix it. -YOU fix it for a change....Whine, whine, whine is all I hear.</description>

		<description>The rising sun message is clearly a secret symbol of something deeply, deeply evil. Maybe Japan. Or Islam. Or Ronald Reagan. 

Seriously: Some of you folks need to give your heads a shake. How crazy do you have to be to find sinister meanings in a bloody SUNRISE?</description>

		<description>&quot;Arrogance is not a great characteristic for someone who is running for president.&quot;

The man is running for president, not dog catcher. He&#039;s going to be the leader of the free world, do you want him to be a timid milquetoast who will let our enemies walk all over us? Granted, too much arrogance leads inevitably to stubbornness and an inability to listen to other opinions, like a certain president i will fail to mention... but anyone who plans to put their name on the ballot automatically thinks they are the best suited for the job, so it&#039;s inherently arrogant. That being said, the logo is a great piece of propaganda: it&#039;s unusual, it&#039;s striking, and as soon as you see it you know what it stands for. the man&#039;s going to be president.</description>

		<description>I also think this logo is Genius. Top 10 in my book (Swoosh #1 of course). I think the McCain logo is nice also. It has a Military feel to it, which is perfect for him and &quot;Country First&quot;. Obama&#039;s logo works on so many different platforms. Using it as the &quot;O&quot; in states names was beautiful.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the clarification about the O flag next to Obama. I too was wondering about that. Glad to see it hasn&#039;t come to that yet.</description>

		<description>The sign i agree is ingenious. It holds a lot of meaning and is very well designed. However i do agree with the fact that it does seem a bit egotistical, which no one can deny Obama of having. Again i also think it is just another tricky creative thing to get people to follow him without actually listening to what he is saying. Young people (of which i am one) see the sign as something really great and creative, unlike &quot;the old republicans&quot; boring ones. But really people, do we choose our presidents because of how pretty their logos are or what they are actually saying? And i mean besides just stupidly repeating the words &quot;hope&quot; and &quot;change&quot; without having any real strategies.

and Palin is hot</description>

		<description>To &quot;Concerned Citizen&quot;--How silly! Obama was speaking in Ohio and that flag with the O next to the American flag is the Ohio state flag! I just happened on this site because I am intrigued by the logo, and interestingly, it touched me intuitively just as it was intended. I love this country and the plains and our people, and I am hopeful that Barack is a leader we will all be proud of. The logo is brilliant not because it creates a brand, but because it captures the essence of the respect, empowerment and inclusion that this candidate has put at the heart of his campaign.</description>

I&#039;ll say it and I&#039;ll say it again.  Barack Obama&#039;s mother was a natural born citizen of the U.S.  And as far as records shows, she didn&#039;t denounce her citizenship when she had Barack.  Children born of parents of the U.S. automatically makes them citizen as long as one of the parents is a citizen, hince his mother.  It doesn&#039;t matter if she had him in &quot;timbucktoland&quot; he will be recognized as a citizen. Also, when elected officials run for office and and further persue to the highest office which is President, government does a background check into your history, so if there were a problem with is birth, trust me, he wouldn&#039;t be running.  If it was so much of a concen that he&#039;s muslim which who cares, but since people like you are paranoid, once again, he wouldn&#039;t have made it this far.  If your going to attack him, attack on substance and not paranoia and fear.  You and other like you is the reason why America is falling behind.  As far as the logo is concerned, I think it&#039;s a great and new look to marketing when it comes to politics considering past looks that have no interest to them.</description>

		<description>I saw Obama speaking yesterday on the TV.  There were two flags: the one on the left was the American flag.  The one on the right was an American flag with an &quot;O&quot; symbol in place of the stars.  Did I really see this or was this too in my head?</description>
