It should just be a symbol of the THAAD, ABL, etc. grounded and gathering rust.

Looks like an Obama logo mated with a Nike logo.  Yes we can, just do it.

And the funding for it probably came from the 75% of committed project funds Lord Zero red-lined out of the SBIRS* project I was working on until last year.

Two towns over they have a HUGE clusterflug of a traffic jamb to fix a 1/4 mile stretch of road.  The sign proclaiming it as an Obama project and had the new "stimulus" Obama logo.  I hope he tags every one of his failures like that.  It makes it that much more easy to know who to blame.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

I think you have to be looking for the crescent moon in that, and it'd probably piss off a real Islamist nutcase (Pardon the redundancy) looking for the crescent moon because they wouldn't like the cockeyed angle or the way it looks like something is being shot at it.

It does however look absolutely butt-ugly, and what the Hell's with that irregular baby-blue background blob-shape?  Ick.

It sort of looks like some kind of belt buckle that you might find in a beachfront clothing shop.

Anyone open for bets on whether or not the "Bummer" approved this design?

It would have been cheaper and better to steal the Starfleet Command emblem and pay off Paramount then to Agree to that eyesore.

My first though.

Don't catch the Islam reference. Frankly, I'm thinking radical Islam is much less dangerous than radical obamaism.

Oh Looky, another redesigned logo.

The  ADF is part of the National Reconnaissance Office and is one of 16 US intelligence agencies.



Any resemblance to Obamanation Campaign symbol is purely coincidental, I'm sure.

Absolutely not, no street artist or 14 year old art student would ever design anything this dreadfull.

How many people seeing this would make the connection of Missiles being sometimes referred to as BIRDS.

So most people wonder if those birds are Buzzards or sea gulls.  Some may think they are doves of peace---RIGHT.?

Just like a bunch of *******. gotta put their gang logo on everything.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
