Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Obama Salute Alternatives and a How-To

August 14, 2008 03:55 PM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link | Print

Our recent Whispers on the California creative agency pushing its pro-Obama salute has not only caught fire—much of it negative—but also spawned several offshoots. Among them is this video on how to perform the Big-O. It's poking fun at the idea, but the gang promoting the salute sent it to us anyway. Also, our stories have prompted some to draw copycat salutes of the original from Loyalty Inc. Check a couple out here.

Obama "salute"

It's remarkable how Obama "salute" so closely replicates the arch in Iraq built by Sadam.

Obama "salute"

Looks like a zero to me.

THE OBAMA ALTERNATIVE SALUTE SIGN,COULD BE A WRITING ON THE WALLS OF THE FUTURE. A FUTURE THAT COULD BE, NOT ONLY IMMINENT BUT ALSO EMINENT.

ON THOSE UNITED FINGERS I SEE RAYS OF PEACE,UNITY.LOVE,

AND HOPE.STRONGLY RADIATING FROM THOSE FINGERS IS A WELDED DETERMINATION TO REWIND OUR FATAL STEPS AND SET AMERICA ON A NEW

COURSE.A COURSE THAT WILL PUT AMERICA BACK ON HER USUAL PEDESTAL OF PEACE,PROGRESS AND GLORY.A COURSE THAT WILL EXTEND HANDS OF FRIENDSHIP AND COOPERATION TO THE WHOLE WORLD,AND YET STRONG ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH THOSE WHO THINK THEY HAVE THE BIRTH

RIGHT TO ROCK THE SHIP OF WORLD PEACE.

ONLY THE BIASED AND THOSE WITH INNATE BLINDNESS AND IGNORANCE CAN DRESS UP "THE ALTERNATIVE SALUTE SIGN" WITH NEGATIVE GARMENTS, WHEN IN FACT IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY.THE "O" SIGN IS A STRONG RING OF "OBLIGATION".AN OBLIGATION TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN TO LIVE OUT THEIR LIVES WITHOUT WASTING THEM IN WARS WITHOUT MUCH MERITS OR DEFINITIONS .IT IS AN OBLIGATION TO SPIN AMERICA BACK TO A STABLE TRACK.IT IS AN OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE CONTINUED OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FREEST SOCIETY OF THE WORLD.WHEN REALITIES ARE MANIPULATED THE AFTERMATHS ARE UNTOLD HARDSHIPS

A CONTINUED DIGNIFICATION OF IGNORANCE,BRINGS A SOCIETY

TO CHAOTIC END.IT'S TIME TO SHED OUR OLD CLOAKS AND MOVE ON.
