Comments on: Why the president needs to take ownership of traditional American presidential and national iconography. http://empax.org/blog/why-the-president-needs-to-take-ownership-of-traditional-american-presidential-and-national-iconography Moving Big Ideas Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:44:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Brent http://empax.org/blog/why-the-president-needs-to-take-ownership-of-traditional-american-presidential-and-national-iconography/comment-page-1#comment-773 Brent Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:39:59 +0000 http://empax.org/?p=1132#comment-773 Very compelling point. In many other ways, Obama has already normalized and assumed many of the presidential traditions, which is not surprising giving the polarizing nature of the election process. One thing though, is that they use the logo now generally for the 'Organizing for America' push, which seems like it is driven more by Michelle than Barack. In this regard if they somehow tweaked the original campaign logo to associate more with Michelle than Barack, I think that the unified spirit could continue without damaging Barack's image or making him seem like a renegade. Anyway, just some thoughts, great post! Very compelling point.

I agree with you that "ABC" needs to go in Washington. I really believe there comes a time to be fully governing. I think some other folks in D.C. could use that message as well. Good point.
