Alias Barack Obama: a lie is born: The greatest identity fraud in history Paperback – July 10, 2012
"You're looking at me as though I'm weird. My god! Are you so out of touch with most of America, most of which believes in the devil? I mean, Jesus Christ believed in the devil! It's in the Gospels! You travel in circles that are so, so removed from mainstream America that you are appalled that anybody would believe in the devil! Most of mankind has believed in the devil, for all of history. Many more intelligent people than you or me have believed in the devil."

American Minute for May 19th:

The Pope that stood up to Socialism -- John Paul II
-
Pope John Paul II visited Poland in 1979.
His arrival was met by hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens who had suffered under socialism since the 1945 Yalta Conference, when Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill surrendered Poland to Stalin at the end of World War II.
The Pope's visit sparked an unprecedented spiritual revival in Poland.
The next year, labor leader Lech Walesa, rallied Polish citizens to reject socialism and establish a free representative government.
This sparked uprisings in other communist countries, and by 1989, the Berlin Wall came down.
Pope John Paul II stated:
“The fundamental error of socialism is ... (it) considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism, so that the good of the individual is completely subordinated to the functioning of the socio-economic mechanism.”
He continued:
“Socialism ... maintains that the good of the individual can be realized without reference to his free choice ... The concept of the person as the autonomous subject of moral decision disappears ...
From this mistaken conception of the person there arise(s) ... an opposition to private property.
A person who is deprived of something he can call ‘his own,’ and of the possibility of earning a living through his own initiative, comes to depend on the social machine and on those who control it.
This makes it much more difficult for him to recognize his dignity as a person and hinders progress towards the building up of an authentic human community.”
Pope John Paul II wrote in his encyclical Centesimus Annus, 1991:
“In recent years the range of such intervention has vastly expanded, to the point of creating a new type of state, the so-called ‘Welfare State' ...
The principle of subsidiarity must be respected: a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order ...
An inordinate increase of public agencies, which are dominated more by bureaucratic thinking ... are accompanied by an enormous increase in spending ..."
He continued:
"Needs are best understood and satisfied by people who are closest to them who act as neighbors to those in need.
It should be added that certain kinds of demands often call for a response which is not simply material but which is capable of perceiving the deeper human need.”
Pope John Paul II, whose given name was Karol Wojtyla, was born in a small town in Poland, MAY 18, 1920.
He was a chemical worker during World War II and risked punishment from Communists for being ordained a priest.
In 1967, he became Archbishop of Krakow and, in 1978, he became Pope John Paul II, the first non-Italian pope since 1522.
Leader of one billion Catholics worldwide, Pope John Paul spoke eight languages and traveled over a million miles to 170 countries -- more than any other pope.
He made history by visiting Yad Vashem, the national Holocaust memorial in Israel on March 2000.
He then visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem and placed a prayer in the Wall for forgiveness for past actions against Jews. He stated:
"I assure the Jewish people the Catholic Church … is deeply saddened by the hatred, acts of persecution and displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews by Christians at any time and in any place ...
No words (are) strong enough to deplore the terrible tragedy of the Holocaust."
In 1993, President Clinton greeted Pope John Paul II in Denver, after which he addressed Regis University.
He stated:
"The inalienable dignity of every human being ... in the first place the right to life and the defense of life ... are at the heart of the church's message and action in the world ...
No country, not even the most powerful, can endure if it deprives its own children of this essential good."
During the Saturday night prayer vigil, August 14, 1993, at Cherry Creek State Park, the Pope addressed nearly a quarter of a million people:
"The family especially is under attack. And the sacred character of human life denied. Naturally, the weakest members of society are the most at risk: the unborn, children ...
There is spreading an anti-life mentality -- an attitude of hostility to life in the womb and life in its last stages.
Precisely when science and medicine are achieving a greater capacity to safeguard health and life, the threats against life are becoming more insidious.
Abortion and euthanasia -- the actual killing of another human being -- are hailed as 'rights' and solutions to 'problems.'"
On August 15, 1993, the Pope addressed over 375,000 people from 70 different countries at Cherry Creek State Park as a part of "World Youth Day," with Vice-President Al Gore in attendance:
"A 'culture of death' seeks to impose itself on our desire to live ...
As at no other time in history, the 'culture of death' has assumed a social and institutional form of legality to justify the most horrible crimes against humanity: genocide, 'final solutions,' 'ethnic cleansings' and massive taking of lives of human beings even before they are born, or before they reach the natural point of death ...
In much of contemporary thinking, any reference to a 'law' guaranteed by the Creator is absent. There remains only each individual's choice ...
Vast sectors of society are confused about what is right and what is wrong and are at the mercy of those with the power to 'create' opinion and impose it on others ..."
Pope John Paul II continued:
"The weakest members of society are the most at risk. The unborn, children, the sick, the handicapped, the old, the poor and unemployed, the immigrant and refugee ...
Do not be afraid to go out on the streets and into public places ... This is no time to be ashamed of the Gospel. It is a time to preach it from the rooftops ...
You must feel the full urgency of the task. Woe to you if you do not succeed in defending life ..."
Concluding his Youth Day address, he challenged:
"The church needs your energies, your enthusiasm, your youthful ideas, in order to make the Gospel of Life penetrate the fabric of society, transforming people's hearts and the structures of society in order to create a civilization of true justice and love."
Evangelist Billy Graham lauded Pope John Paul II's 11th papal encyclical, titled "Evangelium Vitae" (Gospel of Life), issued April of 1995, as:
"A forceful and thoughtful defense of the sacredness of human life in the face of the modern world's reckless march toward violence and needless death."
On October 8, 1995, at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport with Vice-President Al Gore, Pope John Paul admonished America again:
"At the center of the moral vision of your founding documents is the recognition of the rights of the human person and especially respect for the dignity and sanctity of human life in all conditions and at all stages of development.
I say to you again, America, in the light of your own tradition: love life, cherish life, defend life, from conception to natural death."
In 1981, he survived an assassination attempt by a fundamental Islamist, Mehmet Ali Ağca, whom he forgave during a prison visit.
In comparing religions, Pope John Paul wrote in Crossing the Threshold of Hope (1995):
"Islam is not a religion of redemption. There is no room for the Cross and the Resurrection ... The tragedy of redemption is completely absent ...
In Islam, all the richness of God's self-revelation, which constitutes the heritage of the Old and New Testaments, has definitely been set aside ..."
He continued:
"The god of the Koran is a god outside of the world, a god who is only Majesty, never Emmanuel, God-with-us ...
Not only the theology, but also the anthropology of Islam is very distant from Christianity."
Having the third longest papal term in history, Pope John Paul II was the most recognized person in the world.
He met with Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush, as well as many other world leaders.
When he died, April 2, 2005, President Bush ordered flags flown half staff. In 2014, he was canonized a Saint in the Catholic Church.
In 1979, Pope John Paul II had appointed the Most Reverend Robert Sarah of Guinea, West Africa, as Archbishop. He was elevated to Cardinal in 2010.
Cardinal Sarah, September 1, 2010, rejected Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi's call for Europe to become Muslim as being disrespectful of all of Catholic Italy and the Pope:
"To speak of the European continent converting to Islam makes no sense because it is the people alone who decide consciously to be Christian, Muslim or to follow other religions."
Cardinal Robert Sarah stated in his synod on the family, October 12, 2015:
"Like two 'apocalyptic beasts' located on opposite poles: on the one hand, the idolatry of Western freedom; on the other, Islamic fundamentalism: atheistic secularism versus religious fanaticism.
To use a slogan, we find ourselves between 'gender ideology and ISIS.' Islamic massacres and libertarian demands regularly contend for the front page of the newspapers.
From these two radicalizations arise the two major threats to the family: its subjectivist disintegration in the secularized West through quick and easy divorce, abortion, homosexual unions, euthanasia etc. (cf. Gender theory, the 'Femen', the LGBT lobby, IPPF ...)
On the other hand, the pseudo-family of ideologized Islam which legitimizes polygamy, female subservience, sexual slavery, child marriage etc. (cf. Al Qaeda, Isis, Boko Haram ...)"
Cardinal Sarah continued:
"Several clues enable us to intuit the same demonic origin of these two movements.
Unlike the Spirit of Truth that promotes communion in the distinction (perichoresis), these encourage confusion (homo-gamy) or subordination (poly-gamy).
Furthermore, they demand a universal and totalitarian rule, are violently intolerant, destroyers of families, society and the Church, and are openly Christianophobic.
'We are not contending against creatures of flesh and blood ....' We need to be inclusive and welcoming to all that is human; but what comes from the Enemy cannot and must not be assimilated. You can not join Christ and Belial! ..."
Sarah conluded:
"What Nazi-Fascism and Communism were in the 20th century, Western homosexual and abortion Ideologies and Islamic Fanaticism are today."
Cardinal Robert Sarah stated at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., May 18, 2016:
"Good becomes evil, beauty is ugly, love becomes the satisfaction of sexual primal instincts, and truths are all relative ...
The legalization of same-sex marriage, the obligation to accept contraception within healthcare programs, and even 'bathroom bills' that allow men to use the women's restrooms and locker rooms.
Should not a biological man use the men's restroom? How simpler can that concept be? ..."
Cardinal Robert Sarah concluded his comments on the radical sexual agenda which:
"... cause damage to the little children through inflicting upon them a deep existential doubt about love ... They are a scandal - a stumbling block - that prevent the most vulnerable from believing in such love ...
(Same-sex marriage) can never be a truthful solution ...
The result is hostility to Christians, and, increasingly, religious persecution ... I encourage you to truly make use of the freedom willed by your founding fathers, lest you lose it."
This sentiment was echoed by Italian Archbishop Carlo Liberati stated (Breitbart, January 14, 2017):
"We have a weak Christian faith ... Seminaries are empty ...
Italy and Europe live in a pagan and atheist way, they make laws that go against God and they have traditions that are proper of paganism....
All this paves the way to Islam ... Europe will soon be Muslim."
In Denver, Colorado, 1993, Pope John Paul stated:
"In spite of divisions among Christians, all those justified by faith through baptism are incorporated into Christ ... brothers and sisters in the Lord.'"
He addressed the Youth Day event, August 15, 1993:
"Young pilgrims, Christ needs you to enlighten the world ... The struggle will be long, and it needs each one of you."

EXCLUSIVE THE LIES: [From: “A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Promise of America ” – June 30, 2015 by Ted Cruz] Ted Cruz said ...
63 comments:
Jesus has his own symbol, a cross I believe. Chanel, Donald Trump, Prince (or the-artist-formerly-known-as-prince,) Yves Saint Laurent and hundreds of others. Why lie?
Jesus has a cross, I believe.
Since Jesus DIED on the cross, he couldn't possibly have used the cross as his symbol.
Chanel, Donald Trump, Prince, and Yves Saint Laurent are not "historical" people, they are entrepeneurs who sell themselves, their products, and/or their services.
Igstarr, Jesus' symbol is the cross, and if not that, the Jesus fish.
Since Jesus DIED on the cross, he couldn't possibly have USED the cross as his symbol (other people did that AFTER he died.)
Hitler and Obama chose and used their respective symbols while they were alive.
Obama's not historical yet. and he's certainly selling himself, his products and/or services - his agenda.
lgstarr said Chanel, Donald Trump, Prince, and Yves Saint Laurent are not "historical" people, they are entrepeneurs who sell themselves, their products, and/or their services.
Too late. Obama made history as the first black President. So he wins the melanin award.
1.The swastika is the symbol of the Nazi Party, not only of Hitler himself. Besides which... "Hindenburg used a personal standard consisting of a black eagle on a square gold background edged by a border of black, white and red bands" If you care to do the research, so there goes your theory right there...in the wiki article on THIS VERY SUBJECT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_standard_of_Adolf_Hitler
2.Hundreds of people now and Thousands throughout history have created personal bindrunes - symbols constructed from characters of the Futhathark that have personal symbolic and spiritual meaning. Some instruction on bindrunes can be found here.
http://www.runemaker.com/wares/personals.shtml
3. This is the queen of England's Royal standard... http://factoidz.com/images/user/250px-Royal_Standard_of_the_United_Kingdom_svg.jpg
6. Here is a wiki of other royal standards...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Standard
Perhaps you should refrain from parading your ignorance....
Hitler created the Nazi Party, thus, his symbol appears in connection with them.
You are confusing "personal standard" with "symbol" ... Merriam-Webster does not even list them as synonyms for each other's definitions.
On Wikipedia's page for Hindenburg there is not one single symbol pictured anywhere for him:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_von_Hindenburg
On Hitler's Wikipedia page his "symbol" (the swastika) appears in two places: once as a component of the standard and once in the picture to the right of the section called "Brüning administration":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolph_hitler
Elder Futhark (not "Futhathark") were a runic alphabet used by Germanic tribes. This has nothing to do with the subject of this post.
The symbol of Jesus is not the cross nor the fish, you people should look them up huh?
The cross and Fish are not symbols of Jesus they are Christian symbols, not just of Jesus.
"Just Me"--I did look them up and they are symbols used by the followers of Jesus:
http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/symbols.htm
It's impossible to separate the definition of Christianity from Jesus: he IS the definition of Christianity!
The difference between Hitler and Obama is that Hitler's symbol actually stood for something at least somewhat concrete. meaning, the Nazi party as having tenets, written documents, etc. So the swastika represents the ideology.
With Obama, scary as it is, the vagueness is what is deadly. His symbol, like his words stand for such vague things, for example HOPE or CHANGE, that people feel a sense of identifying with it without actually thinking critically about what Obama has done.
PLEASE NOTE: Romney also has a symbol. NO BUENO!
ok, NOT Jesus, but Prince, Martin Luther, Mitt Romney, to name a few
No symbol for "Romney" -- it was a campaign logo for "Romney/Ryan."
What symbol is Martin Luther's?
Godwin's law!
Godwin's Law is not applicable here. The Hitler reference was the point of the original post, not an inappropriate and subsequent comment in a thread.
I think it's immature and offensive that both "JosephK" and "Erik Larsenik" posted word-for-word identical comments here.
Like Hitler, Obama's use of his symbol is not limited to just a campaign logo. Here's an example:
http://tinyurl.com/ylgzn9t
So you're saying Obama is a historical figure, nice!
If you want to get nit picky then History just means in the past. So Trump, Prince, Chanel, etc. are in that category. Historic on the other hand would be things like Obama being the first Black President, Hitler and his psychotic crap and other things like that.
If you want to get nit picky, this comment isn't about every single human being who lives or ever lived on the earth who markets (or marketed) a skill they have, a product they sell or themselves.
I would like to point out the fact that "The artist formerly known as Prince" is the first person in known history to change his actual legal name to a symbol. Making him a historical figure and fact-fucking you're misinformed graphic. Not to mention that the swastika existed thousands of years before Hitler was born and was used in many different cultures and religions from Vikings to Hindu's and most the areas of the map in between the two (that's a lot of map. And I'm pretty sure Romney was using that "R" symbol before he announced his running mate. Nice try though but symbolism is, has been, and will be a part of the way that all parts of humanity, even individuals, defines itself for-muthafuckin-ever. Stop being a twit.
Nice try, but entertainers come and go and are a dime a dozen. Do you really expect to see "Prince" in some history book as a "historical figure?"
Hitler used a reversed swastika, number one. Number two, it wasn't used by a PERSON before.
The campaign logo was "RR" and used for Romney and Ryan.
who ever posted this blog is really UN-educated, and probably is pretty much a total noob, I dont care for Obama, but to compare him to hitler and to say that there only 2 people to have a symbol is pretty stupid. must be a republican or a raciest and ofc Since you approve the post I am sure it will not get posted.
On the contrary, I am well-educated.
This post didn't make a comparison between Hitler and Obama other than their use of symbols which neither you (or anyone else) has managed to refute.
Don't worry, this may not be true, but it rings of truthiness. A good Conservative never lets facts cloud their judgement.
So far, it has held up.
if you bothered to look up the definition of the word "symbol" you would know that it is defined as;
1.
something used for or regarded as representing something else; a material object representing something, often something immaterial; emblem, token, or sign.
2.
a letter, figure, or other character or mark or a combination of letters or the like used to designate something: the algebraic symbol x; the chemical symbol Au.
3.
(especially in semiotics) a word, phrase, image, or the like having a complex of associated meanings and perceived as having inherent value separable from that which is symbolized, as being part of that which is symbolized, and as performing its normal function of standing for or representing that which is symbolized: usually conceived as deriving its meaning chiefly from the structure in which it appears, and generally distinguished from a sign. Basing a thought process on these definition, almost every example given in previous comments proves that you are an uneducated prick with a stick up his ass about Romney losing. And if you honestly believe this doesn't imply a similarity between Obama and Hitler your even more retarded than you already seem. I'm no fan of Obama, but that doesn't mean you need to post ignorant shit about things you have no education on.
Aside from the fact that your comment is unintelligible, nothing could prove that I'm an "uneducated prick with a stick up his ass about Romney losing" since I am educated, don't have a prick (and am not planning on having a sex-change operation anytime soon) and Romney was my LAST choice in the primary.
Everybody seems to forget the millions of nobles who all had, besides the family weapon, a personal weapons which consited of different symbols.
Ditto for the royals who upon being crowned even get their personal flag.
Ditto for the millions of 16th - 19th century traders who developped a personal symbol to differentiate their product from others.
Ditto for masters in midieval guilds who had their master's mark added on their products.
Ditto for the millions of existing "ex libris" to mark ones personal library.
Ditto for the hundreds of thousands individuals who started with spreading their personal ideas about any kind of subject and succesfully created a movement which carries its originators symbol.
Ditto for the symbols the so called free professions use to differentiate one from another (lawyers, notaries, doctors)
Ditto for umpteen guru's who make a whole universe out of their personal symbol to trap their followers
Ditto for every human being who has a signature with which he or she underwrites legal documents.
Ditto for dozens of groups not mentioned yet
But I guess all of them don't count in your view of the universe, you just need a way to compare nazism with Obama after all. All the rest can be safely discarded.
Perhaps a beginner's course in symbology would help, but I gather you would consider it fake and fraudulent.
Poor ignorant bigot. I really feel sorry for you for having such a limited perspective on the whole universe. Life really must be an unending hell for you.
This post is about historical figures (not everyone who ever lived) and refers to their use of a symbol (not standards or logos).
As a president of the United States, he is. All presidents are. Not to mention he's the first black president we've had, so how could you NOT think he's a historical figure?
Yes, Obama is a historical figure. That's the whole point of this post.
The logo looks more like an artists interpretation of the american flag....the bottom having the traditional wave effect representing the wave of change our society is experiencing, the arch (or blue rainbow) connects the beginning and end of the wave, symbolizing the hope that change will continue full circle. Now we've seen during election time that candidates will use artist interpretations of a flag to make them stand out from their opponents. I think the only reason that this "symbol" has stuck with president o bamais because it was one of thosebold moves does campaign that resulted in his opponent getting crushed in the election. the Obama campaign use a lot of progressive thinking strategies that resulted in his victories if it would make it would not make sense for him to not carry them into his term. I guarantee you the next presidents will use some of the same strategies and they will have their own symbols as well because it is effective.
This should probably be worded as "throughout history, only to leaders had their own symbols. Hitler and obama"
This should be worded, "only two leaders in history have had their own symbols. Hitler and Obama"
Sorry guys. Lincoln had the Stove pipe hat. Churchill his cigar. Steve Jobs had two: black turtle neck and Apple symbol (tell me he was not a leader in his area of expertise). Ralph Lauren with Polo. Link below is to a whole article on leaders with symbols.
http://www.benarment.com/history_in_the_making/2008/08/leaders-need-an-iconic-symbol.html
Abe Lincoln with Stove pipe hat. Churchill with cigar. Ralph Lauren with Polo. Steve Jobs with Apple or black turtle neck. Link to article about a book with leaders with symbols.
http://www.benarment.com/history_in_the_making/2008/08/leaders-need-an-iconic-symbol.html
So it's s poorly-worded graphic that the poster can construe to mean whatever she wants but nobody else can do the same. Well played.
Ben Arment refers to these items as "props" (cigar, hat, etc.) and they are not exclusive (i.e. Groucho Marx was famous for using his cigar as a prop; Ted Lewis and Fred Astaire used top hats in their acts). No one else uses Obama's logo and never will--same with Hitler. BTW, the book Arment refers to is about history's greatest SPEAKERS (not leaders).
So, what you're saying is that the graphic should read,
"Only two historically significant people in history, not including famous people, religious figures, kings, queens, pharaohs, organizations, or anyone else whose use of a symbol might reveal the ignorance and stupidity that my use of this graphic may suggest, had another well known symbol modified to be adopted as their own."
Oh yes, I see your point now...
You are a political zealot! Good for you! Thanks for sharing.
My reaction is that several people have mischaracterized the post. But, the most fervent criticism contains personal attacks.
The post does not refer to trade symbols, or particular affectations attributed to historical figures. The symbols referred to heads of government creating personal badges of personal authority, implying powers beyond those legitimately bestowed. In other words, using them as symbols of cults of personality, reflecting a narcissistic personality, obsessed with power, to the detriment of its people.
Anyone who dose not see this parallel may be blinded by ideology, for the evidence accumulates daily. But, the personal attacks are reflective of a reflexive response, that precludes real critical thinking, and effective refutation.
~~Robert
Symbol or logo--it doesn't change the outcome.
This is the most ignorant thing ever. Every organization/political party has its symbol. Every political campaign has a brand - a logo, colors, even fonts. Remember Romney's big stylized R some moron got tattooed on the side of his face? Hate if you must, but don't make things up to hate on. If the guy doesn't have anything genuine you can hate him for, you're just a racist and you ought to own that and be proud of it.
What is Hillary's symbol? Bill's?? George H.W. Bush's??? Gerald Ford???? John F. Kennedy??????
i like what robert said ... however what makes this meme a fallacy is that Obama has not done what Hitler did ... not even close ... he has not violated our civil rights, he has not acted beyond the means of his own authority, and in fact, has prevented the GOP from completely SCREWING this nation all to hell and back ... so if anything, he HAS embodied those "intangibles" such as hope and change ... good job Obama!
President Barack Obama's Complete List of Historic Firsts [Updated]:
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2011/06/president-barack-obamas-complete-list.html
That is the most incorrect, misunderstood and complete bullshit post I have ever seen on the internet, Whether or not you like the man it is irrelevant, this is just completely and utterly incorrect
Firstly, the Swastika was a party symbol, not Hitler's personal symbol, regardless of who was leading the Nazi party the Swastika would have flown as their flag. Also judging that Anton Drexler, not Hitler, started the Nazi Party...if you want to make a personal symbol argument then its Drexler's not Hitler.
Second off, Obama's symbol is not his own, per say, it belongs to the people who backed him, worked on his campaign and got him into the White House, so even that falls onto his face as its a campaign symbol not a personal symbol or even a party symbol like the Swastika, it is simply a logo for the entirety of the Obama administration which doesn't even represent the Democratic party in its entirety. The logo was designed by Chicago-based Sender LLC (a brand development and design company) on assignment from Chicago-based mo/de (a motion design studio), so its actually not Obama's at all per say, it was just used to aid his campaign by people who supported him. He may have embraced it, but still...it does not make it his.
Finally...soooo many people had their own seals, Richard the Lionhearted has 3 lions on a banner, the Japanese Emperor has his own seal, the Chinese imperial family had their own seal, Jesus's symbol is the cross, Each Egyptian Pharaoh has his own version of the Ankh, the Zodiac killer used the cross of the zodiac on his mask, the Star of David used by the Jews is used as it was the symbol of King David, Vlad the Impailer had 2 dragons and a sword, The Ihwamun is the Seal of the Korean Imperial family, the Rothschild family uses a two headed eagle, Andrew Jackson used a donkey, the King of Minos used a bull, and St. Peter is symbolized by the upside down cross...as representative of the way he was crucified.
That's a few....I could go on for weeks on other examples off the top of my head alone
Again, Whether or not you like the man it is irrelevant, this is just completely and utterly incorrect
You need to read the previous comments.
For example, Jesus never used the cross as a symbol and Peter never used an upside down cross as his symbol.
lgstarr It's useless to try and get it across to people on this post. First of all they repeat things that previous comments already addressed because they're too lazy to read. I totally get what you and ~~Robert have said.
R u silly or jus dwn rite misinformed?!! He became a "Historical Figure" da moment he won da Presidential Elections of da Nation tht is considered da "Leader of the Free World" & 1 of da "Biggest Global Superpowers" all while being a "Black Man"...& now 7 yrs later is mark n history is more etched & cemented than whn he 1st arrived, so PLEASEEE! explain 2 me again y He's Not HISTORICAL? (well according 2 u, tht is) smh&lol
I said he was a historical figure. What R U smokin'?
Wow!it has to make you feel like such a chump to put someone down while you spell the way you do. As the CURRENT president he is not yet a historical figure. Frankly I wouldn't even consider a president that is still living a "historical" figure. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
Oh my goodness! Seriously? The symbol for Obama was also used for his campaign. Smh
Once again you help prove my point. The swastika is a symbol. Obama's O is a logo. You are fairly foolish.
He isn't a historical figure. He is the CURRENT president. In the future he will be a historical figure. Just like every president before him, just not quite yet. The Nazi symbol isn't Hitler's symbol, it represents the group as a whole. 99.9% of people that see it think of Nazis rather than just Hitler.
Yes, he's historic, alright: http://tinyurl.com/historicfirsts
But he already made history as the first black president.
In his 1925 book "Mein Kampf" Hitler wrote: "I myself, meanwhile, after innumerable attempts, had laid down a final form; a flag with a red background, a white disk, and a black swastika in the middle. After long trials I also found a definite proportion between the size of the flag and the size of the white disk, as well as the shape and thickness of the swastika."
Wikipedia says: "The Obama logo was the flagship symbol of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign."
Symbol.
Huffinton Post said: “Obama's 2008 campaign logo was the first-ever political campaign logo to use a bold mark that could stand on its own -- independently -- without having to include the candidate's name.”
It’s creator says:
"Icons are very powerful things and that [Obama] symbol got used independent of the candidate's name. We didn't even need to put 'Barack Obama' next to it."
"...it has that sort of larger than life, superhero dimension even beyond just the name."
"...it has the potential to affect us all on a deeply unconscious level…"
Jesus did not chose the cross, his followers did. Trump using his initial isn't the same thing. Prince is a musician who used a symbol and that didn't really work for him did it? Chanel is a brand you dope! We are talking about political leaders.
Um, ever heard of a coat of arms?
Google explains that coats of arms were "used primarily to establish identity in battle."
"What does coat of arms represent?
Coat of arms, the principal part of a system of hereditary symbols dating back to early medieval Europe, used primarily to establish identity in battle. Arms evolved to denote family descent, adoption, alliance, property ownership, and, eventually, profession."
This blog post is about "which two PEOPLE in history had their own symbols?"
