During the 2008
Presidential Campaign, candidate Barack Obama developed his own campaign
symbol. The stylized "O"
containing an abstract sun rising over the red and white striped landscape
could be seen emblazed on "O-Force One" (the campaign plane) and was
reprised in Mr. Obama's appearances in "the Office of the
President-Elect" .
Not to be outdone,
candidate First Lady/Senator/Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
(D-AR/NY) also proffered her own campaign logo.
But the stylized "H" has not been met with universal acclaim.
It has been noted that the "Hillary For America" logo has a striking resemblance to the Cuban flag or a Hospital ideogram, neither of which would broaden Hillary's base.
The H is formed with
a crossbar arrow pointing to the right.
Is this forshadowing how Hillary must run to win the general election or
just trying to graphically mime progress?
Hillary Clinton may
well be positioning her campaign to put some distance between the Democrat
candidate and the lame duck incumbent President.
But that will be hard to do, as Mrs. Clinton was at the foreign policy
helm for the withdrawal in Iraq which fulmented ISIS, the pending withdrawal in
Afghanistan which will effectively hand control to the Taliban, the war in
Libya and the Benghazi bungle.
Nonetheless, Mrs.
Clinton is mimicking some of Mr. Obama's
modus operandi with the campaign symbol.
By juxtaposing Hillary's logo next to President Obama's, one can discern
an inconvenient truth.
Maybe the Hillary for America campaign can offer more compelling reasons to vote for her other than after being married to the Philanderer -in-Chief, so it's now her turn for the Oval Office.
