Was it right for Obama to superimpose John and Eliz Edwards onto his LOGO on his website?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

Is it just me or is this just wrong?

[knight_of_the_star]

1. Ok that does irk me some

Not enough to move out of my position, but that is a bit irksome really.

[jlake]

No, it was rather rude.

[MonkeyFunk]

2. well that's not quite his logo, is it?

It was a nice tribute.

[Raejeanowl]

32. It's Very Suggestive Of The Same Style n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

39. of course it is

it's HIS website!

[Duke Newcombe]

3. No question here. He didn't do it. n/t

[aquart]

4. Does Edwards know?

Would be my first question.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

7. Probably knows but probably wasn't asked

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

5. Contact the media

You've uncovered a real shocker there.

[ursi]

6. why should this even be a question? Petty in light of Bill Clinton's ties to a human rights abuser

[rodeodance]

46. stick to the discussion--it is NOT about Bill Clinton!

[Yael]

8. You mean like Hillary did this morning?

God almighty you are an asshole.

Its called RESPECT and asking us for our vote.

Please proceed to the door on the right into ignore land.

Don't feel alone -- you are the 23rd asshat to join the party today alone.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

19. hillary had a nice picture of the pair, didn't need to crop them and paste them

[LittleClarkie]

35. I dunno. I thought hers was a bit fuzzy myself

Like it got blown up.

[CoffeeCat]

37. Wow, talk about trying to turn nothing...

...into something.

Oh no...not "cropping and pasting"!!!!

Why don't you talk about something a bit more newsworthy--like
yesterday when Obama had a hangnail.

If you could actually let that nice picture of the Edwards people
whip you into a frenzy--I'm sure a hangnail will keep you busy
for days.

I'll look forward to the hours of outrage.

[CoffeeCat]

9. Is this a joke? I'm serious.

Ok, I know what a logo is...and John and Elizabeth Edwards are not
"superimposed" on Obama's logo.

I seriously thought he had done that. Then, I go to the site and I
see that it didn't happen.

I see Obama's logo..that was not done.

Joke....right? People aren't actually insinuating that, are they?

I look at that pic of John and Elizabeth Edwards and I see Obama
paying tribute to them.

Who in the world would suggest that nonsense?

Do some people like to find trouble, where there isn't any?

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

27. "Do some people like to find trouble, where there isn't any?"

Yes.

[tammywammy]

10. I think it's nice

And that's not his logo either.

Didn't Hillary have a picture of them on her site earlier today too?

[Orangepeel]

11. I'm a recovering Edwards supporter and I thought it was nice.

[Drunken Irishman]

12. Wait, I see John and Elizabeth in front of the American flag.

Not the Obama logo.

Or am I missing something?

[Neecy]

13. How petty.....

I mean, really - this deserved an entire thread? Does nothing else go on in your little world?

[LittleClarkie]

17. He started out complaining that Obama didn't have anything on his site

and when Obama put something up, he complained that it was ugly.

No, he doesn't have anything better to do. I've seen some Clinton folks who are even getting annoyed at this crapola.

[Neecy]

21. can't please some people, I guess

(by the way - nice to see you!)

[LittleClarkie]

23. Cheers

Good to be seen

[MonkeyFunk]

40. He helped inspire my sigline

[flyarm]

14. that fucking pisses me off ..fuck obama! eom

[tabatha]

18. Petty beyond belief.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. Shouldn't you be posting in all caps like usual?

[ursi]

15. ummm, bfd! Hillary's site has something up on the front page about Edwards

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/

[Proud2BAmurkin]

20. just a regular picture. Nothing suggesting an endorsement

[tammywammy]

31. It doesn't suggest it's an endorsement

:shrug:

And it has that handy "Read More" button that sends you to his statement on Edwards. http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/samgrahamfelsen/CGjZy

[tabatha]

16. I am sure they checked with John Edwards.

By the way, the Edwards are standing in front of a flag.

I think the logo depicts a blue sky, red stripes for land, and a white orbit that could be a sun or moon.

[greyl]

22. That's not his logo, and it says "Thank you Elizabeth & John" nt

[southern_dem]

24. it's just you

Do you seriously think posts like this are going to sway people to the Clinton camp. Yes the Obama people can be annoying as well, but the Clinton spammers seem much more prevalent...

[Proud2BAmurkin]

26. fair enough, it chaffed me

[cali]

45. Obama being alive and breathing chafes you, muckymerkin

Obama scratching his nose chafes you, Obama's hair fucking chafes your lame ass, Obama running and competitive with Hill? It's driving you batshit crazy, muckymerk.

[newmajority]

28. It's just you.

What's wrong with having a graphic that matches the design of the website? There's certainly nothing there that implies an endorsement from John & Elizabeth Edwards.

[Kittycat]

29. Clearly you aren't wearing your glasses.

That's an american flag behind them - and the same blue background that HRC & Obama have on their sites. It's a beautiful picture and tribute to the Edwards'. Must you shit on everything?

[Skwmom]

34. I guess when you have a candidate who is a compulsive liar and

who voted for war to further her political career, you really need to grasp at straws. How pathetic.

[Raejeanowl]

36. I'm A Little More Interested In The Text

Sounds like Hillary is saluting Edwards. Sounds like Obama is co-opting shared ideals. Both are out there stumping for Edwards' supporters, no doubt.

Frankly, I'm more fascinated by the fact that Edwards assiduously avoided any impression of an endorsement at this time (which, if not surprising, is still ripe and juicy for conjecture).

[Danger Mouse]

38. I have to hand it to you: you are tireless in your asshattery.

I think it's a very nice tribute. It's suggestive of nothing, other than being a nice tribute.

[johnnydrama]

41. if i donate

If I donate here, do i get 1 free banning?

[RogueTrooper]

42. yes

[Guava Jelly]

43. I don't have a problem with it.

Hillary did the same thing

[Nailzberg]

44. Search function is a bitch.

47. This is COMMICAL!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!

Once we found out Edwards was dropping out and Hillary had a comment up on her site about Edwards dropping out there were at least 10 threads... pissing and moaning about "where is Obama's thank you" ... so he makes a pretty wonderful tribute visually and with his words to John AND Elizabeth ... and now it's over the line.

The amount of crap obama gets from people on this board just reinforces the old paradigm of slash and burn politics.
