It’s all about the O

   

Hey, every good cult of personality needs its own salute, right? This one was was suggested by an ad agency:

 

 

   

George Bush had his three-fingered W salute that supporters flashed when greeting him at presidential campaign events in 2000. And now, if a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one above. "Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc. Husong tells me that he got the idea after seeing the famous Obama-Progress poster by artist Shepherd Fairey.

 

These Obamatons are getting a bit scary, and I’m beginning to think Jonah Goldberg is a genius.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin has a better version.

PS. If it’s “all about the O,” I prefer this version:
