The Change Ring: The Holy Symbol of the Divine Obama

He's like Jesus, you know

Moe has a far more extensive takedown of this just below this post.

However, I felt the need to weigh in briefly with a couple graphics and an observation (besides the obvious, which is that the Left still hurtles wild-eyed accusations of “Bush Cult of Personality!” at us, while creating symbols, salutes, and charms and symbolically changing their middle names to match that of the man they seek to compare to Jesus).

The “Change Ring” of Obama can be seen in more detail in the larger image at right. Now, I realize that the goal was to create a charm or pocket adornment that was made from the Greek letter Delta (Δ), the physical (or calculable) symbol for “Change.”

However, all I can see when I look at it is a giant representation of one of Obama’s massive ears.

What’s that you say? Ears and other physical features are off limits now?

Well, that‘s new. After all, they sure seemed to be fair game for the last seven years.

Anyway, that’s what I see. Now let me take this entirely inappropriate buildup and make this into an open thread by asking what you see.

    …made from a coat hanger. Very appropriate.

  • Darin_H

    that I want to buy a new bluetooth earpiece.

    Also, it looks like a $20 paperclip.

    Stargate: Obama?

  • pulchritudegirl

    Hmm, looks like pair of brass knuckles to beat down your political opponents with.

  • streiff

    of his nads?

  • NCConservative

    Doesn’t this thing seem to look like a set of Brass Knuckles? Made of recycled tin foil hats of course…..

    Is this like a mood ring? This time it doesn’t show how YOU feel, it shows how the Messiah feels, to let you know how you SHOULD feel as well.

  • tempest

    If you turn it sideways…it looks like the snout of a pig.

    Maybe it should have some lipstick on it.

    • aaronbg

      n/t

  • Mark_Kilmer

    of the fish to identify each other. And they did not charge for the symbol. Of course. early Christians lacked a community organizer, given that Jesus was not one.

    Axelrod’s campaign gives me the creeps.

    • morganm

      It’s basically the business end of the cameltoe.org logo. Yeah inappropriate, but that’s what it is. I don’t recommend or endorse the site.

  • Finrod

    Is it just me, or does McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate seem like a classic case of Br’er Rabbit and the tar baby?

    Here’s hoping that our opponents don’t figure this out until after the election is over and keep dragging themselves down further by attacking her.

  • Moriah

    … that he was joking.

    Then again, that could just be me wanting to believe the best about everybody.

    As far as his ears, even he has made a few jokes about them:

    They can’t fit his ears on Mount Rushmore

    Says he looks like Opie

    Maybe the Dowd comments were serious and he’s just learned to laugh at it now.

    But I think if he’s going to joke about them, that ear comments are fair game.

    Besides… what would an Obama caricature be without the big ears?

      and lacking in multicultural sensitivity to bring up an old Uncle Remus tale. Next you will be reading us excerpts from Little Black Sambo! I’ll bet you have a DVD of old Amos and Andy don’t you? You philistine!

    When you look in the dictionary for “beclown”, Obama supporters’ pictures are right there. What a bunch of maroons.

    Good Lord, he lifted it off of a website…

    No, it’s not an IED. It’s an IUD.

    But to a fetus, it might as well be an IED.

  • BRWombat

    I vote paper clip. Not just because that’s what it looks like, but because it’s cheap, flimsy, and doesn’t hold together when any pressure is put on it.

    But I was fascinated to read about the Obama hand salute. I knew I’d seen it somewhere before. Check this out…

    • Raven

      They don’t read like the ones I grew up hearing and reading. The version of Br’er Rabbit and the Tar Baby doesn’t have the “Oh please, oh please don’t throw me in that briar patch!”

      But since Obama is not as smart as Br’er Rabbit, I guess it’s appropriate.

      • bs

        Great link – thanks for that, wombat!

  • blueteapot

    to the picture of the three dogs with the “Obama-clip” hanging from their collars. All lined up like the three stoogies…Too funny.

    OTOH….when you think of the larger implications of that picture…it’s kind of a scary thought at the same time.

    • David_Hinz

      now that there is funny, I don’t care WHO you are…

    Looks a little like 6 6 6 to me.

    were forged in the fires of Orodruin (Mount Doom). They will be controlled by the One Ring in Obama’s possession. Wear it at your own peril.

  • SharonR

    It’s been a long time, but I think it looks like an IUD. Seems to fit with the whole birth control thing…..

    • RedSt8Kentucky

      …after looking at it for a few seconds, it struck me the same way…

      Hat pin? Naaaaaah…

      Brooch? Naaaaaah…

      Roach clip? Naaaah…

      Nose ring? Naaaah…

      IUD? DingDingDingDingDing!!!!!

      I considered that it may be a brass knuckle, but dismissed it on the basis that it looks far too wimpy to suffice its purpose.

  • Red_Lipstick_Loyalist

    Hmmm, I see this progressively morphing into a stamp, perhaps on the forehead or the back of the hand.. that way it shall be seen by all.. Perhaps it shall become a number.. oh wait, .. that’s already been declared..this is no laughing matter for it shall be revealed in due time.. as it states in the Book of Revelations.

    • elvischick76

      Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! I LOVE it!!!

    One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all, and in the [Obama] bind them.

    I don’t recall it as having worked out so well the last time someone tried it, though…

    The picture you posted is of a tool called a flint striker. It was used before the mid 1800′s to strike against a piece of flint to start a fire. Take heed of this picture, if Obama gets elected your going to need one of these to heat your house!!!
