Mickey Kaus:
"A one-time seal for a one-time event." ... P.S.: I should add that the faux seal was a disaster not just for the reason I gave (that it suggested Obama is "stuck up"). It also carried this counterproductive implication: that there is a separate Obama Nation, grown up in opposition to Bush's nation. Obama Nation has its own insignia and its own reality. It is somewhat alarmingly devoted to its leader. And this blue tribe is about to completely conquer the current ruling red tribe. ... Voters didn't much like this kind of revolutionary swagger in the 1960s. They may not like it now. .
It's official.
The official Great Seal of Obama that the senator from Illinois rolled out last week has been relegated to a campaign office shelf.
"It was a one-time seal for a one-time event,'' said Robert Gibbs, communications director for the Obama campaign.
The campaign had taken significant ridicule, with ABC News labeling the seal "the audacity of hype."
