   A pair of ears.

   A BlackBerry.

   Or how about the number 1? The intelligent haters (or is that an oxymoron?) can then debate the additional layer of symbolism implied because it’s an “arabic” numeral…

   Blackberry or Teleprompter? Blackberry or Teleprompter? Oooh, I can hardly wait!

   (Hey, Artsyguy! You telling me there is nothing in the world worth hating? Or are you selective in the kinds of hate you choose to hate?)

   If not the Blackberry, how about a CFL bulb as a symbol of change to something better (than an incandescent bulb, in this case)?

   Maybe a penny.

   Image of Lincoln.
   Small change.

   I don’t care much for this latest round of strips. Not really funny or even politically significant.

   He won’t do a Teleprompter because Trudeau would believe that’s not fair. He won’t do a blackberry because it’s just a minor news item and doesn’t really say anything important (and isn’t funny). Here’s my (perfect, IMHO) suggestion:

   A brick of good intentions.

   And we know what road is paved with those. :)

    They get funny if you’re willing to suspend your belief that Obama can save this country.

    Couple nickles, a dime or two..

    Yeah, a small pile of change might not be bad, if it wasn’t an open invitation to knee-jerk haters of Obama/Democrats to interpret it as “chump change” or something like that.

    I like the CFL bulb too!

    An icon? A slogan for Obama?

    “Yes, Icon!”

    A couple of dimes- “new pair o’ dimes.”

    Why not just the “Big O” Symbol he used during the canpaign.

    Bush had the centurion’s Helmet. Why not use a Knight’s Helm with face shield and a Coronet. Just a thought.

    The penny was funny.

    A Hamburger. With Dijon mustard of course…

    Turds are for Carl Rove.

    billrad,
    The problem is too many expect the president or the government to save them. Obama or Bush or otherwise. We need to save ourselves.

    Dypak said, 5 months ago

    Radical Knight -
    Too many people would confuse that as a symbol for the Crusaders. Many of our enemies truly consider us as just the latest wave of Crusaders in their lands. It’s hard to blame them. Anyway, I don’t think that’s the image we want to encourage.

    The only symbol that would apply to a Marxian-Socialist is a hammer and cycle–end of discussion.

    Son of light? Hummmm, could that be Jesus? I think that no icon is best, especially in light of Pete’s past observations, despite his rant.

25. 

    saw4fire said, 5 months ago

    I’d bet on a teleprompter, a blank rectangle of glass on a stick.

    Tigger said, 5 months ago

    The Icon will Appear on Sunday May 31, 2009, or Sunday June 7, 2009. It will be the Teleprompter.

27. 

    yyyguy said, 5 months ago

    i’ve reconsidered, thanks to Pete Rogan and a couple of others. Is an icon really needed? I, too, begin to think not.

    spam said, 5 months ago

    I like the teleprompter or hammer and cycle, but how about a tattered US Constitution with Article II scratched out. Or a finger puppet of the joker or a jar of Vasoline

    stebon: Obama is about as socialist as you are well-informed. The rest of the world sees him as a center-right president.

    For the two “hammer and cycle” dolts: it’s a hammer and sickle. And gun rights remain the same as they were last year.

    the1madhatter said, 5 months ago

    Maybe no icon but really the whole thing is funny and thats what it’s all about. I like funny. Lets keep the rants out of this. Garry has my support I love my country and those who are there to remind us how funny we all are. LOL

    Ron said, 5 months ago

    It can’t be a CFL bulb - those are made out of hazardous materials, and we can’t have that associated with Obama.

    I still think it is going to be a halo.

    Hey, the1madhatter, you look like Chaos in disguise.

    stebon said, 5 months ago

    ronebofh, thank you for the spelling correction, but, since I am neither marxist nor socialist, I could not possibly know how to spell the symbol of the USSR properly. I have to leave that up to leftwingers such as you. By the way, the nationalization of the auto industry, the banking industry and the insurance industry is now being dennegrated by none other than Pravda–centrist, not even by Pravda’s standards.
