Obama Symbolism 101

President Obama in front of a symbolic backdrop
Aides to Obama had considered staging a signing ceremony in the White House’s ornate East Room, but eventually concluded that a tableau of politicians congratulating each other in front of gold-tinged curtains would undermine the president’s emphasis on the legislation creating “real jobs” across the country.

The site for Obama’s bill signing, a Denver science museum, was intended to showcase the environmentally friendly aspects of the stimulus legislation.

It’s all about symbolism and appearances with President Barack Hussein Obama. Our new President is obsessed with symbols and symbolism more than any other president in recent history. He is always invoking the images and symbolism of Abraham Lincoln or John F. Kennedy.

He consistently makes his very own symbols and signs, i.e. the “O” with red, white and blue strips, the light blue placard complete with the new office never seen before, “the office of the President-elect” and don’t forget that new spiffy Obama powder blue seal complete with eagle, a mock of the presidential seal.

“We were looking at the “o” of his name and had the idea of a rising sun and a new day,” Mr. Sender said. “The sun rising over the horizon evoked a new sense of hope.”—Sol Sender (see source)
In addition you must remember that Obama used the symbolism of Corinthian/Doric/Ionic columns complete with the alter of Zeus as a backdrop for his victory speech the night he won the Presidential election. These were meant to convey timeless, unlimited power and ruler ship.
Obama's campaign produced a full-on neoclassical temple facade: four imposing Doric columns and 10 sizable pilasters, all connected by a frieze and arranged in a gently curving arc.

From the center of this colonnaded contraption extended a long peninsular walkway, lined with blue carpeting and capped by a circular stage and wedding-cake steps.

Classicism offers an almost bottomless pool of symbolism, and the campaign dipped into it with a number of goals. For an American viewer, a row of columns can suggest stability or even martial strength[.] Such columns can also suggest populism and public participation -- the highest-minded ideals of democratic government.

And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that President Obama with a very symbolical flair had to be sworn in with his hand on the exact Bible that President Abraham Lincoln was sworn into the Presidency on.

That said, just why did the President sign the Demulus Stimulus bill into law in Denver, Colorado rather than the East Room in the White House? Answer: Symbolism. Everything is staged in cryptic symbolic terms with the Obama administration it’s like he is attempting to draw on other worldly powers.

Obama aides thought signing the $3.27Trillion dollar Stimulus bill into law in a Denver Colorado science museum would send a more appropriate subliminal message to the American people rather than signing the bill at the White House, regardless of the giant carbon footprint and the impact on the environment that such a trip actually made.

If nothing else the Obama administration is going to bring childhood inquisitiveness back to the American people or at least it should because you need to be asking, “Mommy why are they doing that,” every time this administration stages an event. There is so much implicit cryptic meaning embedded in everything that this group does and if you blink you could miss something very important, that is, if you are lulled to sleep by surface appearances which are continually posed by the Obama administration.

One could miss something like a fundamental change to our Constitution or even a change in the status of our nation’s sovereignty if we don’t understand the symbolism being used at any given time by President Obama and his administration regardless of what he or they say.

There is a whole underworld of subterfuge with the Obamacans. More often mixing Orwellian message control with a kind of “never let a serious crisis go to waste” à la the hyper Democrat partisan and Obama strong arm chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.
"Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it's an opportunity to do things you couldn't do before."-- White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel
The Obama administration believes that they can “kind of” slip things in on the American people while we’re preoccupied with President Obama’s verbal slight-of-hand.

Therefore being the illusionists that the Obamacans are the American people should not and can not believe anything that we’re seeing and/or hearing from the Obama administration. No we must pay strict attention to what is actually going on in the background behind the scenes.

Why? Because the Obama administration’s every intention and meaning is duplicitous and everything that Obama says is clouded in some sort of double entendre. Liberals call this nuanced but most of us call this deception.

For example Obama’s biggest prize to date the Economic Stimulus package touted by Obama to be the only way and the only thing able to save a dieing American economy is a grand deception.

A closer examination by almost every non partisan source including the non partisan Congressional Budget Office revealed that the main function of the Demulus Stimulus package, that is now law, will not stimulate the economy as promised by the Democrats.

What it will do, in fact, is funnel tax payer dollars to Democrat interest and concerns which Democrats have been attempting to fund for the last 30 to 40 years. Never let a good crisis go to waste eh Emanuel?

That and use plenty of ubiquitous and furtive symbols that are meant to convey subliminal messages. All to the end of affecting fundamental change to the political psyche of Americans as well as affect fundamental change to the Constitution of the United States of America.
