Obama is running for president. The blue seal is an advertising/PR gimmick, playing on the design of the presidential seal. Panties need not be twisted.
Now, today, checking memeorandum again, I see that the reaction isn't quite what the Obama camp had hoped for, so with only one use and around 48hrs later, the plug is pulled on the seal concept. Perhaps those panties got twisted after all.
Cue the "thrown under the bus" line.
Anyway, I figure that, even if the graphic design department of Obama's marketing team swings and misses every once and awhile, there could be a silver lining: Ebay. Collectors just love things that were only used once, controversial, and represent their own milestone in American history, so maybe it'd get a fair price. Donate the proceeds to a worthy cause, and presto!... you've turned a losing idea into a winning one.

I'm just posting this to prove to the knuckleheads over at Little Green Footballs that anyone can post anything on the official Obama community blog.
Now, of course they'll probably respond by saying is something to the effect that the fact that the antisemetic stuff remains posted over here amounts to support or agreement with such views, but I'm sure they'd have made a stink about a "coverup" or "free speech disappearing" if the blog posts had been removed. In other words, a no-win scenario.
But hey, they have a screen cap, and that's all that matters.
BTW- It took about 5 minutes for me to register and post this up.
Update:
It looks like I got Charles' attention, 'cause he posted this shortly after I linked over there:
The thing is, Obama is running an open forum over here, which is why there is a disclaimer at the bottom of each post.
Well, at least someone over at LGF asks the right question:
