Obama Drops The Ridiculous Seal

June 23, 2008 · Filed Under Barack Obama, Politics

It looks like the Obama campaign is finally seeing their fancy new “seal” for what it is. One of the most ludicrous and breathtakingly stupid ideas in the history of presidential campaigns.

Even the media which normally doesn’t dare say anything critical of Jesus Obama couldn’t resist mocking him for the stunt.

According to Mark Ambinder of The Atlantic magazine, the Obama campaign has decided to quit using the seal.

“I’m told that Obama recognizes that it was a silly mistake,” Ambinder said. “Does the press think Obama is arrogant? Yes.”

‘Arrogance’ has been the biggest criticism of the seal flap, and rightly so. But you almost can’t blame Obama for being arrogant given how the press treats him. Up until this point, he could do no wrong so it’s not at all surprising his campaign would be testing the limits to see what they could get away with.
