CNN

dictatorship is coming............His cult was for it.
Free thinkers rejected the obvious transparent propaganda.
He is superimposing himself as president before the people get to vote ............Should be concerned about McSame adviser's TERROISM COMMENTS...........now that is Serious !!!!!

Hillary supporters: Get over it, it is time to move on. I hope this is not racial.

I expect Obama to come out anyday now wearing a crown.
nobama. Democrat for Mcain

TO MCCAIN: TOO MUCH VIETNAM IS WHAT MAKES YOU TOO MUCH IGNORANT TO BE PRESIDENT FOR LOSING TO MANY BRAIN CELLS WHILE YOU WERE A PRISONER, PRETTY MUCH LIKE YOUR DADDY BUSH ONLY THAT I THINK THAT HE WAS BORN WITH ONLY A FEW BRAIN CELLS… THE POINT IS THAT YOU CAN'T BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE YOU'RE WAR-SICK AND THAT MAKES YOU THINK ONLY ON WAR, DEATH, WAR, WAR, WARWARWARWAR…

The logo is very nice. It's just a logo. Look good!

I love it... Obama gets blasted for things like using a logo, or not using tax dollars to run his campaign. McCain gets blasted for wanting to continue a war at the objection of the majority of the american people, and denying service men the benefits which he himself received.

This shows how petty people are. All this crying over a logo, or who's paying for a campaign when there's real issues out there. Yes.. Obama, the evil arrogant guy who used a logo which we didn't like. Obama, the one to bring the whole country down (like it isn't down right now).

The rest of the world is just praying that Obama gets elected.. so the United States can be seen as a country with leadership that actually listens as opposed to just throwing our weight around.

Both candidates' energy policies are stupid.
Using ethanol just keeps food prices (ethanol comes from corn) higher so we can drive. Does that make sense? No.
Offshore drilling just exposes us to a whole host of crazy risks that would not make any sense if we weren't so addicted to driving.
Here's a thought: walk somewhere. Ride a bike. Would it be so terrible if our lives slowed down a little bit? Probably not.

As far as the logo is concerned, Obama is a cocky, elitist snob. He knows the American people are buying into the rhetoric he is literally spewing. It's still presumptuous, but if you were on the receiving end of all the undeserved praise that he has been, wouldn't you be a little egotistical too?

Bad idea – gives the idea that he thinks he's allready won it – only the President of the US should stand with that symbol – anyone else, even Obama, and I am a big supporter of Obama, looks cocky and almost smug!

I'm sure his campaign did not intend that – more so, they probably wanted people to get use to the idea of Obama as President – this was not the way.

No need to worry – apparently McCains advisors are hoping for another attack on America to secure 4 more years in the White House – what does that say!

Ok, and how is this article going to lower my cost for groceries?

I'm an Obama supporter and even though I'm one of his kool-aid drinkers, I thought that his "seal" was a bit over the top. By the way, the actual translation of the latin is: "It is a truth that we have the ability". I guess that explains why the Romans didn't use bumper stickers. That would have been a big bumper sticker to put on a chariot.

Considering what the bloggers are saying here about Obama's elitism and arrogance, I'd suggest his campaign get a slogan that says, "I'm pretty sure we can, but I'm not making any promises until the guys that went to community college let me know it's OK."

Glad the insignia is gone, it did look a bit too much and a tad disrespectful of the Oval Office (regardless of whether you like our current Pres or not, we need to respect the symbology of it)

I just have to say: I promise to vote for a Republican (who would of thunked it based on my blog name) if Hillary ever runs for President. PUMA and their threats are all but killing any chance of Hillary to ever be elected. She will end up in the Ralph Nader category if her lunatics don't grow up. Revenge can be a cruel punishment, and it always goes both ways.

Obama '08

I love how people are making some a big deal about this. Who cares... so he's using a presidential logo while he's running for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. I love how people these days see confidence as arrogance. Even more so.. I love how people make a judgement that he's elitist. ANYONE running to obtain the most ELITE job in the country and possibly the world is an ELITIST. I wouldn't want someone who's not an elitist to run for president.

Thank Goodness the almighty Seal is gone. This is another politics of convenience. Obama spent all that money to use it for only one time? Tell that to the 12 year old supporters who do not even know the type of change they are chanting for. Change for good or change for bad, the seal is a big sign and time will tell.

What's the big deal? It's just an eagle with same stuff in his talons inside a circle.

The Neo-Cons are just jealous that they don't have any cool looking or creative logos of their own

Obama is an idiot.

Do it, see which way the wind blows and then when it s bad, pretend you didn't really mean to continue doing it and then make it disappear. Just like he did with Rev. Wright. He waited until the press got too bad and then discarded him just like this elitist seal.

melinda from charlotte.....you're right on!

What, the OBAMA SEAL?? UNBELIEVEABLE!! Doesn't he have any control over those people running his campaign?? Another example of hiis Elitism –Huberis.

Is this a preview of how he will run the country IF he is elected President??? An example of an exercise in POOR JUDGEMENT!

We have seen him as, "the Great Orator ", BUT the questions remain, can he LEAD effectively? That will depend on whom he chooses for his vice-presidential running mate. WHY NOT HILLARY??? But can he GOVERN??? As his campaign progresses we will see about his choices.

I cannot vote for Obama. McCain has sold his soul to the religious right to get their vote. IT'S ABOUT THE SUPREME COURT and trying to REPEAL ROE vs WADE!!

I have always voted in an election.. This time I will vote for Marc Warner for Senator from Virginia , and any Dem running for the House. I will write in Hillary Clinton for President!! If that is not possible, my NO VOTE for president will signify a vote for Clinton.

Let's see how many crossover Republican votes there were for Obama. I still maintain she won the popular vote. Get rid of the Super Delagates!! We never had them before in an election!

Remember, a NO VOTE for president is a vote for Hillary in NOV.

Yankeedoodle in Virginia Beach

Aww poor Obama, he has McSame supporters and Hillary supporters coming after him. I tried my hardest to rally behind Obama I couldn't though Hillary. Especially after he told her supporters to get over it. I'm sorry Mr. Obama but I can't vote for you.

You people who all take up for everything Obama does are like parents thinking thier kids can never do wrong, while they are at it constantly. It is very presumptious of him to already be making his own version of the seal, disrespectful of our traditions. He should wait till the time comes, if it does?

Wow! Every single time he gets criticized for something, he drops it. Quit his Church after the Jeremian Wright and Pfleger controversies. Now his campaign logo. Add to that opting out of public funding. This guy can not stand for anything he believes in. He will do and say anything to get elected, even if it means sacrificing his integrity. How can Hussein Obama lead this country? Unbelievable!

It is getting boreing reading all of these comments infering that all voters are so pathetic as to operate only on emotions, inferiority and inogrance. Voters are more informed and are capable of critical thought.

Miles, you would hire designers that COPY from others? What do you do? Wouldn't you want originality?

Hope you haters are happy...You just REALLY love destroying the good times, dontcha?

Hey, Beltway insider. You need a vacation

It was cute, but I think the country is a little sensitive about these things.

I'm glad it's gone and I still support Barack.

Towards the end of his Presidential campaign, GW Bush 'rehersed' the oath of office at a rally. For those of you who are saying Obama is being arrogant, don't you suppose he has the right to be, he is a presidential nominee, more than the average guy achieves.

The seal removal is a sign of the crumbling of the illusion of bambi' s
propaganda. This man has no substance, and no GRAViTAS.

Good. It was a terrible COPY you can XEROX.....Hello!!!! Remember how George W. gave us SOOOOOOO many clues before he was voted in???????????????????? What you see in between the lines BEFORE you vote is what you with get TEN-FOLD if voted in!!!!!

Arrogance is the sef image of a man. Backpedaling is the weak character of a man. Saying whatever you think the people want to hear is the attitude that others are fools. And last, but not least, smiling can sometimes only be a showing of one's teeth.

I have issues with a person possessing these characteristics when applying for the Presidency of our great nation.

Show me real. Show me integrity. Show me determination. Show me something I would vote for. "Change" is a lot of things....that doesn't mean "change" is automatically what is best for America.

Please post

How much did he waste on this? I thought he was about change? This seems to be politics as normal. Change? I guess someone considers this change. I want to see real change or his plans for it, not just words. How do you planm to make changes and to what?

Another wise choice. I wasn't comfortable with this idea. At least he listens to the public...

Good. That seal was a lame idea. People are interested in substance not symbols, unless the symbol's in a mystery novel. Wait, come to think of it, the general election campaign is a mystery novel being scripted write now.

PRESUMPTUOUS INSECT!!

His comments to the S.F. Elitest , his attitude toward small town America, his Harvard Law Degree after it turned liberal elitest, and now the seal are just more truth telling signs of his being a "Liberal Elitest".

OBAMA WILL LOSE!!! WRONG CHOICE TO IMPROVE AMERICA.

HE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT!

I cannot believe we are talking about logo's when our gas is skyrocketing, home heating oil could top $7.50 per gallon this winter, our economy is a joke, taxable income is going nowhere for most americans and the wealth in this country are pushing for another war.

If you think that gas prices and stagnant wages isn't a tax I don't know what is people.

Yes we can what? Elect a toatlly unqualifed empty suit to the presidency? We have already done that with G.W. Bush. How's that working for you? Obama is all arrogance and rhetoric and no substance. I am a lifelong democrat who will not support Obama in the fall. Obama and his supporters make me want to vomit...

Yes...WE...Can....

YOU GUYS ARE NOT SURE WHEN YOU ARE BEING PLAYED. THE LOGO WAS TO DRAW FIRE. THIS WAY HE KNOWS WHAT YOU GOING TO DO AND CONTROLS WHAT YOU DO IT TO. YOU GUYS ARE BEING PLAYED. LIKE I SAID. HE IS NEW TO YOU, YOU ARE NOT NEW TO HIM.

Wow, when did so many morons learn to use the computer? Who cares, it's an ugly design anyway.

I couldn't care if he started wearing a crown and speaking only in French, he'd still be 100 times better than McCain or Clinton.

The nerve of Obama!!! I am so sick of this man and his arrogance. I wouldn't be surprised if he names this country after his name. What is next... "The Obama States of America?" Yikes, it sounds awful. God please help us.

What a crock, everyones crying about HRC, but she lost plain and simple. If Boston would have beat LA by only one point who is the winner. The rules were set up and the people voted. Get over it If you want to vote for McBush go ahead, Obama is still going to win and we don't need you. As a matter of fact go help the GOP dig for oil off the coast while we come up with a better solution for the country.......

Go Obama!!!!!

Democrates for McCain can go on and vote for him. If McCain wins we all will be eating DIRT before the end of his first term – we won't have money to buy 1 gallon of gas. Democrats go on ahead and vote for McCain – you will be doing something that a lot of Republicans can do – go on and have fun; just keep your hatefulness to yourselves, there is no time for negativity – I am struggling to make ends meet.

Great! It was a bit presumptuous!!

Obama '08!!

Again and Again CNN, Sen Menendez of NJ, and MSNBC keep saying that OBAMA is going to win the Hispanic vote by 90% to10% for McCain NOT TRUTH!!!!!!!! by is it that CNN, and all tose Stupid cable station keeps reporting False Numbers. Hispanic people will vote for McCain and in bunches. The Puertorican people in NY, NJ, CT, FL, NM. Nevada, TX McCain will get alots of Hispanic Vote. The puertorican people always supported Hillary Clinton but we not support OBAMA trust me that. I have lots of friends the puertorican in New York and they will not vote for OBAMA. McCain will win alot of Hispanic vote. OBAMA Does not like the puertorican people, and the puertorican nation will not forget about that. Even if he puts Hillary as VP McCain will get the most puertorican vote in NY Because Puertorican will not support OBAMA. So CNN, and all those pundit saying falsely rumor stop it. The Hispanic will decide the election 2008 and John McCain will receive a ton of votes

Yea, Obama had the Audicity to insult an eagle. He should have used a skunk–more like the real guy.

What, the OBAMA SEAL?? UNBELIEVEABLE!! Doesn't he have any control over those people running his campaign??

Is this a preview of how he will run the country IF he becomes President??? An example of an exercise in POOR JUDGEMENT!

We have seen him as, "the Great Orator ", BUT the questions remain, can he LEAD effectively? That will depend on whom he chooses for his vice-presidential running mate. WHY NOT HILLARY??? But can he GOVERN???

What a FAKE – HIS OWN Seal – the one we have been using for 200 years is not good enough for our CHANGE guy. What next – a New Flag – or – a New White House – in "Chocolate City" – oh – did I mention that I am the black candidate" – - WHO CARES – you are NOT qualified – BUT – you are Arrogant.

Well said Jeff Spangler, VA

I thought it was a ridiculous logo to use and leaned toward maximum hubris, but lack of gravitas is a synonym for the joke that it all is.

Stupidity is in the minds of the Dems, are they trying to dictate our lifes, we got Hillary out, but I see now Obama is trying the Clinton run at the white house. I should have known he was all talk about change............

No matter which kind of log or seal you choose to use, this hijacked party and his so-called nominee are doomed to lose in Nov.

CNN, why did you delete my comments?

At least it shows that the Obama campaign LISTENS to the will of the people. Can't say the same about John McCain.
What does the polls say about the war in Iraq? What is his position?

Keep going Obama better known as BO... Repub. in Nov.

"One time thing for a one time event" – or SPIN -MY CHANGED Presidential Seal –
The American people were outraged at my ARROGANCE – and the DNC made me get rid of it!!!! Obama is an ARROGANT FRAUD!

Give me a break, please! That seal was never meant for a one-time event. It caused such an uproar about Obama's poor taste and arrogance, and his natural inability to connect with regular, blue-collar voters, that they decided to nix the stupid "Presidential Seal".

What is the big deal?

I loved that seal!

I WISH IT WAS A BUMPER STICKER!!!

Go head Senator Obama...."Speak those things that are not as though they were!"

and also...

who care's if a political candidate is elitist or not?

our current president is the farthest from being an elitist (except for the silver spoon), and you see how that all worked out.

That's right Eli. It's all about getting the 'story straight'; because it's certainly not about telling the truth with Obama. Enlightened Voter, you can't fight Obama on the issues because he has no positions, just spin and negative attacks. Against NAFTA until it's better to be for NAFTA. For public financing until it's better to be against public financing. Rev. Wright' is his mentor, until Rev. Wright is thrown under a bus. His church is where he worshipped for 20 years, until people saw how racist it was, and it's under a bus too. There is only one qualified candidate, and it's not Junior Obama.

For anyone else- this would be the straw that broke the camel's back- but Obama gets a free ride from the media because... did you notice? he's black...

As a lifelong democrat who never before found a party nominee I could NOT vote for....

WELL OBAMA IS THE ONE.

He drove me from the party I once loved.

This guy is too much for true democrats to stomach.

No matter who does what, there will always be someone who, having nothing better to do at the moment, comes up with an off-the-wall criticism.

And I voted for Hillary.

Someone created a cool logo for Obama... BFD!
Why do any of you give a crap about this?
It's not elitist. It's GRAPHIC DESIGN!

ALL OF YOU NEED TO GROW UP.

I am a Hillary supporter but I cannot support Obama. His inexperience is only shown here again with the silly symbol. Does he take it as a joke??? His campaing has been like a rock star, a preacher speaker, its always been about him, but not in Nov. We will remember in Nov

lol @ Obama being "arrogant" because he used a different logo for one event.

You people never cease to amaze me.

The office of the president of the United States is an office...to be respected...it's not the person who is elected to the office to uphold the duties of the office. There is already a seal for the office. George Washington rejected being crowned King...let's keep it that way.

Is a poster for one event, big deal. He was never gonna get rid of his main logo, thats all about BRANDING.

What will Senator Obama throw under the bus next!

He is such a light weight!

NOBAMA! Democrats for McCain!

Is there a fork big enough to stick in this man.

His ego transcends all imagination.

What a despot.

DEMS you blew your one great chance to serve America with a true Leader. You trashed the wrong candidate.

oh my god are hillary supporters still trolling message boards thinking they've been betrayed? and they call obama a fake compared to the clintons??? some of you need to go take your GEDs, otherwise i want my french fries with extra salt

Ah yes, nitpicking over meaningless details and non-issues - the exact crap that got us into the mess we're currently in. Moron Americans never learn a thing...

His cult was for it.

Free thinkers rejected the obvious transparent propaganda.

He is superimposing himself as president before the people get to vote.

When the seal was introduced we were told it was a one time thing. People, read for yourselves and don't depend on the Republicans to tell you the truth, have they ever?

More calls of being elitiest? Do our candidates really need to "dumb down" their campaign to please the media, and ultimately, the public?

I for one WECOME, a campaign that acts intelligently, and treats us equally.

Poor over cocky and over confident Obama.

No TRUE leader is this brazen and arrogant.

This is the stuff of dictators.

Obama youth is marching to their supreme leader.

This logo was awesome, I was hoping for a t-shirt. I'd hire those Obama designers in heartbeat. Every design they've done is tasteful and well-proportioned. it's too bad media schmucks have to go and overblow everything. How about scrutinizing McCain as hard as you do Obama?

it is odd to me that a silly seal would cause such an up rise from Mr. McCain's supporters while Mr. McCain's stance or lack there of on the issuses that affect our nation go unquestioned by them. they say elitist, arrogant out of touch....i am waiting for uppity from someone. the mess we are in right now is because of a Republican House, Senate and President.... NOW LETS FIX THE MESS THEY MADE!!!!!

lie and justify
is becoming obama's trade mark he fully intended to use that seal however seeing that it would show that he like his seal are just imitations of the real thing and prove what an elitist he is he showed his super judgment and dropped it. i hope Hillary drops him and we'll see how far he gets on his own

Hillary supporter, I'm sure you mean well still trying to push Hillary as the Pres., but she lost, she quit and has endorsed Obama. If you want to keep pushing for her I can feel your pain, but from the outside looking in, when you do this on the boards, you only appear spitful, and childish. (If I you won;t let me win then I'm taking MY ball and going home. )

It just showcased his true nature: entitlement and arrogance.

Never has so little in a candidate been marketed as SO much.

BRILLIANT PROPAGANA... would make Hitler proud.

Go home with your Obama SS youth.

They were the only ones fooled by you and used by you to hate and destroy the better candidate

I personally think this was a low level design decision that someone made. Considering the fact that Obama didn't really even like the current logo that is being used because it was too "slick", I'm pretty certain when Obama walked into the room and saw that he wanted to have it taken down, but it was too late. Oh well, it's kind of funny in a way. Silly issue to be making the news in the first place.

The person that made the idea of this seal should not be given a second chance, Geez! I'm glad it's taken down.

But I love "Vero Possumus"

Brandon Hillary Democrat for Mc Cain <-ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

MORE LIKE: Brandon Hillary Republican for McCain DON'T drag Dems name through the MUD for YOUR IGNORANCE.... I NEVER trusted people like YOU...FAKE HILLARY SUPPORTER!!!

The perfect combination of Latin, arrogance, slickness, and entitlement. There is nothing more appropriate for an Empty Preppy Suit. This is the inner Obama. This is not a slip or misspeak.

I guess the seal got thrown under the bus too – what a joke! Add this to the ever growing list of gaffes.

Sure wish Hillary was the nominee so I could feel good again about being a democrat!

True Democrats,

I am so tired of all the tickers being about Democratic party. They are trying to divide our party. The only comment I will leave is NO COMMENT until they give the republican party the same attention. Please join me…

NO COMMENT

"Many wondered whether a seal – with Latin phrasing no less – was the best idea..."

Who exactly is "many"? I never saw you quote anyone... And I noticed that on other networks they more or less ignored the seal, instead opting to cover what actually went on at the meeting.

It's called "substance", CNN. Give it a try sometime.

The seal is gone, that is good, it was a bad marketing stradegy. I like Obama's stance on renewable energy, ethanol is a viable alternative. Illinois is the second largest producer of corn in the country. The problem is, sugar cane is 7 times more efficient. Now if Obama is as intelligent as his supporters say he is, wouldn't it make more sense to use sugar cane versus corn? But we must remember that one of Obama's largest financial supporters produces ethanol with corn, they even allowed him to use their company jet, so will he make the intelligent choice and explore using sugar cane, the obvious educated choice or will he simply stick with the less cost effective choice of corn for producing ethanol to keep his large financial backers. We ubdecided independent voters will be watching, Politics as usual or Change We Can Believe In?

The Mccain Seal Is A Picture Of A Able Eagle With Two Band Aids On Its Head!

Ha, Ha, Ha the evil one didn't get away with that one!!!!!!!!!

Obama has gotten away with every arrogant and smug thing so far.

This one really crossed the line.

They need to reign in their boastful mission accomplished stance.

Look how it backfired on Bush.

Obama = Bush.

Obama does NOT = HRC

McCain does NOT = Bush

What a dumb mistake that was and a waste of money. He really does not have the experience or smarts to be President. Who would be so arrogant to place his own Presidential seal in front of his podium and try to psychologically have the country see him as the president?! He must think we are all sheep. God, this guy is scarier than GWB.

Thank goodness. That was the worst move I have seen from the Obama team this campaign season. It was such a bad taste for whomever designed it. I hope we don't ever see it again.

Still love the man though and I am glad he is not shaking about giving up Public financing. Staying with we the people instead of lobbyists is a great move.

it's ok.the real one will look even better ,come jan 20th.

OMG......why can't you people get a life. Stop whining, you babies

If Mccain Had A Seal It Would Be A Picture Of A Waffle To Symbolize His Flip Flopping!

John McCain would not deface an American symbol for publicity. Obama is an elitist opportunist!

ALLRIGHT !!!! WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SHOW OPTIMISM AND OBAMAS" DEDICATION TO AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ProundToBeRepublican – PLEASE invest in a spell and grammer checker or, better yet, take a night course.

Repubicans = Rebpulicans
suprised = surprised
suside = suicide
themselve = themselves

Obama made a donkey's behind of himself.

His arrogance bested him.

This man is a false leader who rose by race baiting and cheating.

wake up fellow democrats.
wake up America.

It was very arrogant. Maybe he's learned. I cant beleive that the RNC treats bob bar better than DNC treated Hillary.

Ah, but Obama let the truth out when he used that seal. Now, he must idstance himself from it. But the truth was in the seal.

I guess it's a slow news day. You talked about this last Friday in the situation room. You should have let it go today while you concentrated on the news of the day. Rather you had to bring it up again today. You just hate Obama.

I'm an Obama supporter but I didn't like the seal. Glad they took it out of circulation. Everything his campaign does or says comes under extreme scutiny anyway. No need to give THESE FOLKS anything more to throw at him. And as for the whole "Arrogant Thing", everyone knows that's code for another phase that was used to describe proud African Americans in the past. Can you say "Uppity N word." Sorry folks, we cracked the code long time ago...

Meh, it wasn't as bad as all the PUMA idiots say it was.
Still, let's get on to some REAL issues! Environment, war, economy, any of these ringing bells?

Mr. Obama's arrogance has not gone unnoticed.

Can we pull the installed nominee, please.

And try again... fairly and with objectivity... and no race-card playing.

Obama so sucks.

Oh... and just when he had convinced me of how presidential he is.

NOT.

INSTALLED nominee against the votes of the democratic people.

Brandon HIllary Democrat for McCain:

Please, give the Hillary 2012 slogan a rest. God does not promise anyone tomorrow, including you and Hillary Clinton.

The second word in 'Vero possumous' is (when said) uncomfortably near 'posthumous' – tempting fate is not such a good idea.

Can he just go away like it did. They were both bad.

bob – He is not arrogant. He take ideas and try!

I think you meant : He takes ideas and tries!

And you are right. He has taken all his "ideas" from someone else and never had one of his own.

Who has a cult mentality ? The Clinton's followers who keep whining and wringing their hands and cannot get over the plain fact that she has LOST, plain and square. Get used to it !

One use too many.

But it revealed this phony opportunist for the donkey's behind he truly is.

bring back HILLARY AND MAKE THIS TRAVESTY RIGHT.

Or lose in Nov.

Mister, you full of crap, and you , I and the whole worl knows it. ..!!!

What I don't understand is that if has a seal – he's an elitist. He doesn't – he's unpatriotic. He leave the church – he's a sell out. He stays – he's racist. He plays by the rules and gets the nominee – he cheated. He loses the nominee – he wasn't qualified. He takes the public money – he going back on his word regarding lobbyist. He doesn't – it all about the money....
Listen, people this is a game of chess. Therefore the object is to get the KING, not worry about all the little pawns the other pieces. However, he IS trying to fix the quagmire that they ALL put themselves into. He's bringing the Queen, Sen Clinton, back on the board...So relax people and enjoy the game...

He is soo Elitetist, Im a farmer from rural Ohio (so you know my vote is highly important) I dont know too much but I remember the Clintons cause they were in charge long ago. I need my news to be simplified and made easy for me because im a rural vote from south east Ohio. I like Hillary's sign baecuse it was simple like me..

He is so used to blowing his own horn... he got way ahead of himself.

It went over ... well... like NOT at all.

Only the fan club loved it... the smart and educated(?) ones.

Silly wannabe dicatator.

go play the race card again... that serves you well.

Try to steal the GE like you stole the primary

NOT this time.

HELLO AMERICANS,
THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH FOR 4 YEARS – ATTITUDE OF SNOB, PHONY, EGOCENTRIC, IF YOU ELECT HIM.

THE FACT THAT HE HAS THE ARROGANCE TO RUN IN A FIRST PLACE WITH "EXPERIENCE" AND "JUDGMENT" SHOWS A LOT!

WHAT DOES HE OFFERS US? EVERYTHING THAT HE TALKS ABOUT IS ECHOING CLINTON.

MAY BE HIS PRIEST HAD PUSHED HIM TO GET INTO POLITICKS. WHAT IS HIS AGENDA?

WHAT ABOUT HIS WIFE? I THINK SHE IS WORST!!

If I read one more of the Clinton's supporters whining tirades (like she is Jesus walking on water, was stolen the election, etc ...) I am going to puke. She has LOST, get used to it, O.K. ? You want to vote for McSame,? go ahead, make my day.

IT"S A SHAME A LOGO, SEAL or WHATEVER you want to call it has gotten some people so upset you guys need to stick to the important issues not some LOGO or SEAL!! Leave the TRIVIAL BS out of it!!!

Watch the Obama haters try to dissect this bit of stupid information....it is very funny to me the stuff that makes the news these days....McSame's bandaid on his foreaid, Obama's logo/seal....here is a big story....McSame's campaign adviser Black stated that McSame wants US to have another terrorist attack so that he and his party may benefit from it.....think about that one people!

Beltway Insider:

Just a LOGO? So is the swaztica, a burning cross, and confederate flag. Would you say "get over it" if anyone posted those "logos"?

C'mon CNN, of all the articles NOT to "close"...seriously? Why is this news? I'd love to comment on Hilary getting back to work on the senate floor, but apparently this conversation is more important – unbelievable...

Mad Magazine called. They wanted their logo (and candidate) back!
LOLOLOLOLOL

PEOPLE in America is so STUPID about nothing, where was all the smarts and protest as your GAD PRICES climbed to $5.00/gallon. GIVE America A BREAK from stupid people; many of whom voted for Bush - twice and is just as responsible for the deaths of approx. 5,000 American soldiers.

How smart? But, now we have a chance to stop be apart of killing American soldiers– get off the wagon and stop talking about stupid stuff.

I sense a bit of frustration creeping in with the McCain supporters and Hillary supporters who say they will back McCain. They see the polls and the electorial map starting to swing blue and it's making them nuts. They know that barring some kind of scandal Obama will be elected in November and it just gnaws on their insides like an upset stomach. It reminds me of 1996 when the Republicans realized that there was no way to beat Bill Clinton and got very disheartened early on.

Iowa is going to flip and most likely Colorado and New Mexico as well. Now Obama is even starting to pull ahead in Virginia.

Sorry folks, he's got 270 and a little more.

I don't see why "eltism" is a reason for concern. First, here's a newsflash, not one presidential candiate (neither the current nominees nor the candiates they defeated) is hurting for cash. They're all multi-millionares, and wouldnt be caught dead hanging with the "common folk" unless there's a camera in front of them. So no matter what, theres always going to be a sense of eltism in who gets chosen....there also one of Bush's famous quotes " Some call you the elite, I call you my base"...how come no cried "elitist" on that?

Good,
I am an Obama supporter but the seal was a very bad idea. Arrogent and taking voters for granted.

Good job on fixing the mistake now get the story straight.

Too bad, Obama's seal was illegitimate, just like how he won the nomination.

I am loving the 2008 election seen Repubicans cry day in and day out.
They can sense our next president is Democrat and Black and they can not stand the thought of it do not be suprised he hear a lot of Republicans suside killing themselve.

I'll be as proud to vote for Barack Obama in November as I was in April; the seal was a minor early campaign slip-up. There's a natural difficulty in staying on the right side of the razor-thin line between confidence and egotism if one's staff are as committed to a candidate as they should be. T'aint a thing.

Barack Hussein Obama/ Wesley Kanne Clark '08

Ah, Latin ! Isn't that funny language that is spoken in church ??? What an elitist language for sure !!!

People are seeing the REAL Obama at last.

They did not care for it.

So the campaign back peddled and fast.

It's a logo, people. If you let a logo shape your opinion even a little bit in either direction, you're letting something trivial get in the way of what really matters.

And for those who say Obama is arrogant (which I don't understand except MAYBE for this logo thing) Bill Clinton is one of the most arrogant, self centered people you'll ever meet, but he managed to balance the budget, give us a strong economy, give us peace, and leave office with one of the highest approval ratings ever. What does arrogance have to do with being a good president?

Vote on the issues, people.

Much like his NAFTA and Iraq policies. He'll dump Michelle too, if thats what it takes to get elected...

So when he pulls an 'epic fail' during his administration, will he simply erase what he's already done?

How is that possible, considering he will be gambling with our livliehoods and not just crappy graphics?

Arrogance is when you are too proud to think that correcting a mistake isn't as important as "staying the course."

Maybe he was trying to woo the Latino vote.

People get real is a logo who care what kind of a logo he uses I thought coming up with the seal was very creative.

Anyone who posts negativity toward this ONE TIME event is just STUCK on the fact that Obama is the candidate who won the Primaries and will win the General.

Get over yourselves and the negativity that drives you!

Hillary supporter for McCain 2008. I have enough "change" in my pocket.

They placed the big cart before the little donkey.

And it backfired on them.

Now they lie and pretend it was otherwise.

Fools for Obama.

I love the seal! Obama knows how to market and ran a well organised campaign. He has the talents and intellect to be a great President! He is a very good and decent man! I loved reading his two books and suggest that everyone who wants to know who he really is and thinks and feels should also read his books. He'S a brillant writter amoung other things!

Bob the Builder called and said he wanted his motto back!!

Can Obama destory it!?
Yes he can!!

Thank God! That was ....weird

A Democrat No More June 23rd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

He is arrogant.
______________________________________________________
He is not arrogant. He take ideas and try!

I'm sure it won't be long and he'll change the flag and all other U.S. symbols to fit his image. Such an arrogant attitude by his campaign, of course I'm sure they take their direction from his arrogant "never been proud" wife. This country is in for some serious trouble with him in office, we'll wish we had Clinton, heck we might even wish we had Bush back! How scary! NOBAMA EVER!

Obama is not the big hit they had hoped for.

The seal revealed his true arrogance and air of self-importance.

His arrogance and self-love and self-impressed sense of smug superiority is wearing thin.....

for everyone but his rabid haters for Obama cult following.

I have to say, Obama's supporters are a real turn off. They seem to spout a lot of hateful comments. It really does appear to be some sort of cult mentality. Nothing I am interested in being a part of. So I guess that makes me a racist. Oh well I can live with it.

Obama gets my seal of disapproval. Hey, all you college bloggers spending the summer off sucking off Mom and Dad....come back after you spend some time in the real world working 24/7. Have your fun now cause if Obama gets in....you won't be able to live on....'Change'.

I guess it it better than some Hamas logo.

Please, please, let the "bitter" and uninformed (and racially motivated) Hillary supporters not vote for Obama; let them throw their votes at McCain and watch their dreams and hopes go down the drain!

These "bitter" voters should not be encouraged or begged to vote for Obama. For the educated and informed DEM, the primaries have always been about:
1. The party, not the candidate
2. The issues, not the candidate (gender, race or otherwise)
3. The White House, not the candidate

This is about winning the White House, gaining control to address issues of interest to DEMS, if people cannot see this as the goal, please let them vote for McCain! Let this nonsense and baby-talk stop!

They misgauged...

They thought it would be a big hit.

Just the haters for Obama found it to be a good idea.

Obama is back to limping... only the superdelegates can not install him as president.

The DNC can not control the vote in Nov.

That is what fixing a primary and selecting and installing the WRONG nominee leads to.

If having Latin appears elitist then this whole country is elitist. Its all over the place, including our money. Hmmm, better stop using dollars overseas. Other countries will think we our elitist and we cant have that. Lets all get together to tell the US mint to issue a recall and replace everything with English-only bills.

Simply put... who cares about this symbol? I saw it and ignored within 5 minutes. Oh no! That means I'm an elitist! Now I am going to be depressed all day because I am too good to run for my local dog catcher office. I'm too elite to work with dogs. Shame on you Obama.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of Obama and to the republic for which it stands, one Obamanation under Obama with liberty and justice for all who worship Obama. Amen.

It's ok....

Barry LaBamba's ego knows no limit.

I was among those who did not have a problem with it. But, I guess they decided to drop it and give all of the bellyachers who did some Pepto-Bismol.

Those liars....

They overestimated Obama's appeal...

Now pretend it was a one time thing.

Wish Obama was just a one time thing.

But the DNC bet on the wrong horse.

They trashed the REAL leader.

Suffer in Nov for the treachery and the injustice and the hate.

It was a good start, I thought it needed more color...you know...kinda like the Senate, the Congress...Washington in general!!

What that go to do with the price of oil. I dont care about a seal I am
worried about the economy and those people who are flooded out
alone the mississippi.

NObama can I please have my vote back? I made a big mistake.

too bad.............I liked it.

Independent LAWYER for Obama June 23rd, 2008 3:48 pm ET

Wah waah waah, Hillary Clinton wah waah. Waaaah, wah sexism wah waah. Whine moan sigh, John McCain waah wah experience waah wah.

Ok, so I think I covered all the bases for you. Now can you repug trolls stop posting your whining crying crap on every article?

Can you take your own advice? repug trolls. I won't even bother to put you in your place. Your comment shows your stupidity.

Is the "presidential seal" an example of how Obama views himself: vain, conceited, omnipotent, hauty, arrogant, self-glorifying?! What in the world was he thinking? He hasn't been elected anything yet...he's just in the running. Yet he can't wait to bring out the symbols of POWER. It's the height of presumptiveness! Good grief! Are we getting rid of "king" Bush only to elect "king" Obama?

Big surprise.

His own full arrogance and audacity was revealed by that act.

Now he will pretend to be Humble once again.

Self-impressed arrogant prick.

"A one time thing for a one time event": bull!! Caesar and his entourage observed his chosen seal of a deity didn't go over well with the general populace. Brutus, what's your take on all this?

Hillary let's take it to Denver!! Enough is Enough with NObama!!

Independent Lawyer for OBAMA. Can you understand this?

S T F U!! Idiots like you are NOT needed in the democratic party.

WHY DID THE MEDIA STOP REPORTING ON OUR TROOPS CASUALTIES IN IRAQ????????? WE DON'T CARE ABOUT ALL THIS CRAPS; WE WANT THEM BACK HOME.

AS A DEMOCRAT, I AM ACTUALLY SCARED OF OBAMA. HE IS USING TATICS LIKE NIXON. NIXON IS THE ONE WHO RESIGNED PEOPLE.

our troops are getting injured and killed as we speak.....gas and food prices are absolutely ridiculous and people gets upset over a sign. check your priorities people!

The weasel got too cocky and had to back peddle a bit.

We know he still thinks he is perfect.

He has done nothing for his country but promises that he WILL do everything perfectly – while he trashes those who have served with honor and dignity and blames them for everything that is wrong.

First DO something... before you declare yourself perfect and infallable.

What a hypocritical do nothing

I though it was neat! However, I can see how it could have been a bit much too some people, especially all of those Obama haters. Can you smell the hate in the air?
I though it showed that his campaign designers are creative and talented. That's okay, give him 5 months and he'll be using the real one.

YES WE CAN!

They want us to believe it was a one time thing? Right.

If it was, what an incredible waste of money. I'm kind of glad they aren't taking public financing now, if this is any indication of what they'll use their money for. Most likely they intended to use it long term, and discarded it when they figured out how arrogant and disrepectful it was seen by the American public.

VotePact

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

It's a logo people, grow up. BTW I love the increase in the repug bloggers thrashing their typical hateful, evil agenda. Obama must really be coming up higher in the polls and this is the only thing the repugs know. They can't fight him on real issues so let's beat him down. HAHAHA, you guys are hilarious...We can take it.

He is arrogant.

Im so sorry its gone. I laughed my head off!! Only an idiot would do something like that, but it was funny.

His arrogance just keeps on going.

bad judgement

He would have kept the seal if people didn't paint him as an elist as he really is. Obama is such a show off, he needs to come back down to earth.
Obama second term of Carter.

We saw Obama for the dangerous demagogue that he is when he thugged Hillary out of the race.

Using hatred and race baiting as his strategy while hiding behind a cloak of hope and unity and change.

The hypocrit has been exposed.

God knows how you manipulated, cheated and stole your way into a "win".

"Independent LAWYER for Obama" – Your a lawyer? You sound like a child, please tell us where you practice so I can avoid you like the plague!

yawn

how is Obama arrogant... wow.. you people really are clueless. He's got more education than you and you have the gall to call him that? haha

Sure...a "one time thing for a one time event". What a joke. The truth is.....he found out it could possibly be illegal AND it caused to much of a raucus in the press. I can't stand this man! ARROGANT!

Obama’s arrogance makes me sick.
The seal exposed him more and now he is trying to cover-up.

Some of you are so blind about Obama it is entertaining.

I wonder how much money was wasted on his arrogant "seal"? We need a leader who has sound fiscal experience and uses money wisely.

Obama, as American as Apple Pie!

It is a shame the real Obama does not go in the same direction as the phony seal. Only a LUNATIC would have a phony seal made and displayed.

It was still better than McSame's green screen.

What a dirty filthy politician this new politician for change is.

He cares only for self and ego.

He destroyed the democratic party and will recklessly destroy the United States just for personal gain.

Cocky, boastful, arrogant, mocking, smug, jeering, self-impressed.

Just like Bush in his tone and character.

Welcome to the 24 hour a day Barack Obama info-mercial called CNN.

In all my years of observing network news, there has never been anything this pathetic. They have discarded even any attempt at objectivity to forward the cause of their once in a lifetime candidate.

Can Hillary still pull one out of her hat at the convention?

Dont Drink the Kool Aid !! Demand substance and elect experience you can trust. I may not agree with Mc Cain on every issue but at least I know he is qualified and ready to lead.

Hillary 2012.

You know we all have tried something out to see if it would work and if it didn't we usually got rid of it or change it. No big deal here. They are getting rid of it. So what's the issue??????

GO OBAMA 08

Independent for Obama- – I'll Second that!!!

A seal, logo, sign?????/ Are you serious?

This graphic garbage is further evidence of the lack of gravitas which defines this young man. Not this time, not this year.

who cares lets worry about the real issuses like gas prices unemployment rising food prices health care mortgages energry crisis war in iraq those issuses people not a stupid logo

Go to Real Clear Politics. Read the article Obama the serial flip-flopper. Great article!

Good to see it was a "one time thing." Kids will be kids.

Obama may not get the vote of some Hillary supporters but BOB will take some of McSame voters for sure. It will be a WASH so PUMA people YOU don't really matter at all. Obama will be the next president of these United States. Run Bob run. I will do A Rush job on here from time to time to keep Bob's name out there. Two can play that game Mr. Rush.
VOTE BOB BARR FOR A BETTER AMERICA. Ha ha ha. McSame is in trouble. This is great.
Obama08 with or without the PUMA people

The democrats selected and installed a joke for a nominee.

Bring back Hill... for president not for VP.

Obama cares only about his big ego.

He backtracks only when he sees that his boastful gloating backfires with the people.

Like his mocking HRC with Annie Oakley comments
and his brushing HRC off his shoulder.
and his love of Wright turned to hate when it wounded his ego.

What a fake

Couldnt take the criticism from anyone who did not vote for him....
We will be seeing many more of these retractions come this fall and hopefully that will be enough for the american people to wake up because the DNC certaintly did not.

Hillary 2012.

Dam, its a picture! Some of you are so freakin' aggravating. Look for anything won't you?

Who cares...this is an arrogant, pompous candidate that even though I am a Democrat I cannot stand him.

Good. It was an affront to the American people, and I cannot believe they were that stupid. Hey, if Obama is going to have his own seal, why not his own flag? We could have it in varying shades of blue, and then we can rename our country the United States of Obama. How pathetic and arrogant can you be?

Too bad I loved the seal...

I'm glad he got rid of it. I'm a supporter of his, but I thought it was a bit presumptuous. Just not the direction he should have been going in.

OBAMA '08

Say NO to BO the white house allready stinks!

OK–it came it went. I think only a LUNATIC would think that the seal was any evidence of alleged elitism. That's just foolish. the seal–in its rawest form was no less than beautiful–everything that Barak Obama is and will be. Sad that is is gone away for now..will see it again in different form post election...because he will be donning it as PRESIDENT!!

OBAMA '08 OBAMA '08 OBAMA '08 OBAMA '08OBAMA '08 OBAMA '08
OBAMA '08 OBAMA '08 OBAMA '08 OBAMA '08 OBAMA '08 OBAMA '08

it's the media making a big deal about nuttin'...now cnn can officially move on to reporting the news rather than creating one!

'nuff said!

simply arrogant like Obama himself

CNN) – Barack Obama’s communications director said Monday that the presidential seal the campaign unveiled last week at a meeting with Democratic governors won’t be seen again.........WHO CARES!!!!

I THINK IT IS AN INSULT TO THE OFFICE AND ONLY SHOWS HOW OUT OF TOUCH OBAMA IS WITH EVERY DAY AMERICANS

Good idea Barack. I am voting for you but I did not like the use of the logo. It is too soon. Wait till next year and you will use the real one!

That's o.k., in a couple of months he will be using the real seal....that was just a test!!

Who are these "many people" that "wondered?" It seems to me like CNN is just as much "Clinton News Network" as it has always been. Get over it, she lost fair and square, move on, get on board the Obama train or get left on a rooftop/war zone!

It was stupid to begin with. Just another blunder from Barrack and his campaign.

Thank goodness!

That was a baaaad idea.

It's a LOGO people. Get over it.

Let's observe how the pathological lunacy of the McCain/Clinton people will turn this into some life and death issue....

Man.. I sure don't feel the love for this guy. Will vote for him, but can't believe my party has come so far off the populist track.

Just showing more of his arrogance.

Wah waah waah, Hillary Clinton wah waah. Waaaah, wah sexism wah waah. Whine moan sigh, John McCain waah wah experience waah wah.

Ok, so I think I covered all the bases for you. Now can you repug trolls stop posting your whining crying crap on every article?

McCain is NOT a conservative look at what he stands for this election, cross reference with 2000 and the cross reference again from 1990. There are three different people there. A Vote for McCain is a vote for 3 different personalities!

BARR is the ONLY true conservative!
