    These people are campaigners and propagandists, not leaders. They don’t lead, they dictate. They don’t govern, they rule.

    Right before WWII the French had some of the prettiest buttons, medals, and uniforms you could ask for, but they couldn’t fight worth a crap. Check this Triumph The Insult Dog video. This is hilarious. We need an Obama version.

    The new logo reflects the development of new-and-improved Smart Power missles designed for logistic support in the Overseas Contingency Operation. Each new missle carries a hopeydopey diplomat trained to administer a hearty handshake, and the authority to threaten an agressor with an indistinct possibility of some very nasty economic sanctions perhaps sometime in the near future unless they act nice.

    I feel safer already.

    That’s something, but check this out.

    In Alabama, the military base hosting much of MDA and other BRAC growth was out talking about the community impact recently.

    The schools program in the community, expected to face growth problems related to MDA and other BRAC moves has a motto for the program — “Yes We Can” series of public “conversations” to craft plans and unify support.

    It’s here http://blog.al.com/breaking/2010/02/area_schools.html and it does not seem very creative at all.

    ISLAMOPHOBE! Just thinking this should get you arrested for a hate crime, you bigot!

    Nobody can question Obama’s motives because his mother was from Kansas! KANSAS how American is that?! And he went to a Christian Church and all.

    You shouldn’t be thinking that Obama is trying to integrate church and state with the Islamic Church! I can’t believe you are so hateful!

    People should really shout you down and boo and hiss you for thinking that Obama is an Islamic Manchurian Candidate born in Kenya and lived in Indonesia as a Muslim only to come back to America for school where he joined radical Communist organizations to the point where he got his records from school sealed.

    HAVE YOU NO SHAME?!

    This “re-branding” has been going on for decades!

    I worked for a large, religious non-profit organization once and they hired a marketing firm to redesign their logo among other things. For $10,000, the marketing firm took nearly 6 months to make a simple and frankly nearly un-noticable change to the logo. I was appalled but management declared it “brilliant” and money well spent!

    In large part, we have abandoned “ideas” and are stuck on “marketing.” Marketing bad ideas better isn’t really the answer to many problems…

    Oh, that’s right, Commodus — who never spent any time with the legions after his father’s death — insisted on renaming them after himself.

    But then again, Commodus was also a sociopathic egomaniac who came to see himself as a living god. Can’t say that about Hope-a-Dope, can we?

    It’s not worth blowing a gasket over, but the re-branding of the government is a rather aggravating and noteworthy fact of life in the Age of Obama. They do spend an awful lot of time packaging and repackaging bureaucracies and the business of governance — instead of actually, you know, governing.

    Not to mention the money they spend doing it. For example, the military uses a system for health care called CHCS. It is DOS based and needs replaceing. The replacement started during the Bush years and was named CHCS2 (real original I know). Well once Obama took office he decided to rename the new system from CHCS2 to Ahlta. The cost to change the logo on the startup cost the taxpayers quite a bit of money (I believe it was well over $1 million).

    I find it interesting that in Obama’s first year in office, he has pulled out of the European missile defense plans, cut the Kinetic Energy Interceptor program, cut the Multiple Kill Vehicle Program, drastically cut the Ground-based Midcourse Defense Program, and gutted the MDA in general.

    Recently he also let be desroyed the Advanced Tactical Laser system. We HAD a high energy laser system built and in the final stages of being able to deploy an airbourne tactical laser weapon capable of surgicaly denying assests to the enemy without civilians getting hurt. Now it’s a yard sale in a hanger and the airplane is headed for the bone yard.

    In fact, if BO goes Islamic far enough, we will be back to nuclear testing.
    BO has got to be the dumbest president of all time. His presidency is a terrible disaster for all Americans but even worse for black Americans as it will be at least a generation before this nation trusts a black in national office. He portrayed himself as reasonable, honest, “moderate, is “half white” and was raised by whites, and what we got was a hugo chavez dumb, crooked bigot, anti-American thug. I’m just waiting for BO to let slip a few, “white devils,” and start speaking Arabic.
    The truth is he is not qualified to run the US – maybe Cuba, but not the US or any other Republic. I wished I lived closer to DC so I could go and protest in front of the WHite House ever damn day, banging a drum (or playing a didgeridoo – nice low frequency to penetrate walls and carry), and carrying nasty anti BO signs to freak him out.
