August 9, 200818 yr Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like this one. This is getting to be beyond absurd. The more I see and hear - and unless there are some changes on the horizon - there will be a no vote from MrsRk this time. I may just stage a sit in and hope for a last stand for my girl.

August 9, 200818 yr So is it okay that Bush had his own salute? And according to the following, Barack had nothing to do with this. And now, if a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one above. "Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc. Husong tells me that he got the idea after seeing the famous Obama-Progress poster by artist Shepherd Fairey. "We wanted to get involved some way," he says. So, the agency came up with their own a symbol of hope and progress that also plays off Obama's name. "We thought, 'Let's try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,' " says Husong.
August 9, 200818 yr I have a salute for The One. It involves one finger. You have never met the man! You have no idea what he is like on a personal level, only what you see on T.V. Do you really think that kind of a finger is warranted?

Did you see a movement to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Bush's nomination speech making the sign? No. Did you see anyone urging people to download the Bush salute and print it on posters and T-shirts? No. That's what makes this so ridiculous, HB. I didn't say he had anything to do with it but I'm sure he's eating it up.

It's not their fault that McCain's campaign is old and boring. :lol::lol:

We have to endure over three and a half months of this nonsense. :creepy:
August 9, 200818 yr Kinda reminds me of Diamond Dallas Paige. Of couse I wouldn't want to see him elected president either. However, if he were president, at least if negoiations with other world leaders failed he could give them the Diamondcutter.

It's not their fault that McCain's campaignis old and boring. :lol::lol: You sound like my daughter, but when she needs something of importance done and can't figure it out, she calls that old and boring Dad of hers to fix it! Yea, I am old and boring, but I stand aside like any good parent does and allow her to learn from her mistakes, but do you really want someone without any experience in running anything, not even a business, running our Country? Letting a young adult learn from his/hers mistakes in life is one thing, but making mistakes from lack of experience running our Country is another, at least in my mind!
August 9, 200818 yr You have never met the man! You have no idea what he is like on a personal level, only what you see on T.V. Do you really think that kind of a finger is warranted? Not a doubt in my mind.
