1. Obama's logo reminds me of this:


The seal illustrates Ohio's diverse geography. In the background stands Mount Logan in Ross County. Separating Mount Logan from the rest of the seal is the Scioto River. In the foreground is a freshly harvested wheat field. In the field stands a sheaf of wheat, illustrating the rational importance of agriculture in Ohio. Nearby stand seventeen arrows that resemble the sheaf of wheat. The seventeen arrows represent Ohio's Native Americans as well as the fact that Ohio was the seventeenth state to join the Union. At the top of the seal is the sun, with thirteen rays protruding outwards. The thirteen rays represent the thirteen colonies that became the original thirteen states of the United States.




That's definitely a rising sun!

BTW
During the early 1950s, the Ohio legislature sponsored a contest for selecting a state motto."With God All Things Are Possible"became Ohio's state motto on October 1, 1959.James Mastronardo, a twelve-year-old boy recommended this quotation from the Bible.

"All Things Are Possible" Sort of goes with the Politics of Hope, IMO


I've been a New Yorker for 40 years, more or less, but I spent the rest of my life as a Buckeye!
