Answer 1

Defacing it.  LOL.  You all really have nothing to talk about do you?

How about talking about the issues?  But, oh wait, you'd have to know issues and research the candidates responses to them, ultimately figuring out you were wrong all along.

Answer 2

No - this just shows you what kind of immature, fist-bumping, trash talking buffoon we are dealing with.

Answer 3

You should be ashamed of yourself for asking such a question. Don't you know something is only wrong if a Republican does it. Read the mainstream press and you will see.

Answer 4

LOL.....whatever

Answer 5

Not if you're an adult.

Answer 6

From what I've seen, most of Obama's campaign staff managers are idealistic kids in their early to mid 20's just out of college.  All of them full of energy, fire and new ideas... and all of them very short on real-world experience.

I'm not an Obama fan, but I'm not going to read a lot into this one.  He doesn't have time to examine every detail of what his well-meaning but wet-behind-the-ears staff does.  It was dumb, and he got a little spanking for it, but it's hardly a smoking gun.

He should get a few seasoned people on his staff to keep the kids in line.  I didn't like Clinton, but James Carville did a h**l of a job with that campaign, and Obama is going after the same demographic to get elected (The young, naive & barely educated).

Answer 7

Running the country like its been run for the past 7 years is a much worse offense.

Answer 8

I am a Republican, and have been for years.  I have voted for Democrats on occasion.  I vote for what the issues are, and how the candidates explain how they want to run things.  

Obama making up his own "presidential seal", is not an issue.  Its a piece of humor.  Its good to see humor, whether its Obama with his Seal, or McCain with his segments on the late night talk shows, or Saturday night live.  If its funny laugh.  If you don't like it, change the channel.

Listen to what the candidates say during debates, town hall meetings, campagine ads.
