Public Insult to Obama on Facebook

Lois B

NOT

Linda B
Prove it.

Bob
Prove what?
I did it merely as a calculated insult.

Marilyn C
No US President would wear a coat like that!!!!

Linda B
Heh, anyone can do anything with Photoshop. Plus, insults don't mean anything. Your vote does. I'm pretty sure I know how you'll vote, but the important thing is the voting, not the insulting. *shrug*

Bob
The coat is the academic robe Obama was given with the honorary J.D. degree at Notre Dame in the spring of 2009.
I added the two emblems. One is obvious; the other has the color and sword motif of the flag of Saudi Arabia and the shoulder patch of the US Army Persian Gulf Service Command in WWII.
It was obvious to me by the spring of '09 that Obama is, at the very least, sympathetic to Islam (which I am not because I know my history), and was seeking to concentrate political power.
Finally, the expression on his face and the gesture of his hand made him look to me like he was giving a Hitler salute.
So I did the alterations to show folks what I thought of him and his policies.
Like I said, calculated insult.

Idle thought in the wee hours

I wonder what St. Matthew (Levi) and Zacchaeus (Zakkai?) would say about tax collectors nowadays.
They were both tax collectors, who were generally hated.
Levi left his post immediately to follow Jesus; Zakkai repented publicly, and Jesus dined at his house.
