Emblems to Stamp Projects Funded by the Stimulus Package
abc news Political Punch
Put a stamp on it — that’s what the White House says.
President Obama announced today that his administration will begin stamping an emblem on projects funded by the economic stimulus package so that people can easily recognize the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
All projects will be stamped with the ARRA logo (short for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and lists the recovery.gov website on the emblem.
In remarks at the Department of Transportation this morning, Mr. Obama referenced the new emblems.
“We’re also making it easier for Americans to see what projects are being funded with their money as part of our recovery. So in the weeks to come, the signs denoting these projects are going to bear the new emblem of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Obama said. “These emblems are symbols of our commitment to you, the American people — a commitment to investing your tax dollars wisely, to put Americans to work doing the work that needs to be done. So when you see them on projects that your tax dollars made possible, let it be a reminder that our government — your government — is doing its part to put the economy back on the road of recovery.”
Obama, who was at the Transportation Department to highlight the 150,000 specific jobs that would be saved or created under highway spending from the recovery act, also said that transportation specific projects would don a second emblem – bearing the word TIGER (short for Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery).
Wild Thing’s comment………..
I am so sick of these stupid and anti-American things Obama insists on having. I swear I think he is mentally ill! He cannot do anything without some kind of symbol that has nothing to do with the USA. How many more of these things will he have before his 4 years are done?
….Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

How is funding ACORN spending money wisely ? How is paying some deadbeat’s mortgage spending money wisely ?
“The government is doing its part to put the economy back on the road to recovery” ?
Its the goverment fault we are in this situation in the first place.
Why do those logos look so UNish, pale blue what happened to Red, White and Blue. And what’s with this Tiger bullshit. How about an American animal.
Like they had in the WARSAW PACT and IRON BLOC soviet satellite nations, da comrade Babebushka Wildski Thingov? Socialist godless symbols in the new USSR: United Socialist States Republic.
The illiterate Baracksheviks have seen their lower classes RISE to middle class and soon our nation will have two classes: Wealthy and Working Class! Only a few of US realize this.
Pretty soon they’ll be putting his picture all over the place. After all, don’t all good socialists have their pictures and symbols pasted all over?
So will the mortgage deadbeats who are bailed out have this emblem stamped or tattooed on their foreheads? The emblems can also be a reminder of the waste of our tax money and the debts the next several generations will be saddled with.
Fuggim!!!
The Story of Little Black Sambo.
By Helen Bannerman
Once upon a time there was a little black boy, and his name was Little Black Sambo.
And his mother was called Black Mumbo.
And his father was called Black Jumbo.
And Black Mumbo made him a beautiful little Red Coat, and a pair of beautiful little blue trousers.
And Black Jumbo went to the Bazaar, and bought him a beautiful Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings.
And then wasn’t Little Black Sambo grand?
So he put on all his Fine Clothes, and went out for a walk in the Jungle. And by and by he met a Tiger. And the Tiger said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my beautiful little Red Coat.” So the Tiger said, “Very well, I won’t eat you this time, but you must give me your beautiful little Red Coat.” So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful little Red Coat, and went away saying, “Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.”
And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, and it said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my beautiful little Blue Trousers.” So the Tiger said, “Very well, I won’t eat you this time, but you must give me your beautiful little Blue Trousers.” So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful little Blue Trousers, and went away saying, “Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.”
And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, and it said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my beautiful little Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and crimson Linings.”
But the Tiger said, “What use would your shoes be to me? I’ve got four feet, and you’ve got only two; you haven’t got enough shoes for me.”
But Little Black Sambo said, “You could wear them on your ears.”
“So I could,” said the Tiger: “that’s a very good idea. Give them to me, and I won’t eat you this time.”
So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful little Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings, and went away saying, “Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.”
And by and by Little Black Sambo met another Tiger, and it said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!”
And Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my beautiful Green Umbrella.” But the Tiger said, “How can I carry an umbrella, when I need all my paws for walking with?”
“You could tie a knot on your tail and carry it that way,” said Little Black Sambo. “So I could,” said the Tiger.”Give it to me, and I won’t eat you this time.” So he got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful Green Umbrella, and went away saying, “Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.”
And poor Little Black Sambo went away crying, because the cruel Tigers had taken all his fine clothes.
Presently he heard a horrible noise that sounded like “Gr-r-r-r-rrrrrr,” and it got louder and louder. “Oh! dear!” said Little Black Sambo, “there are all the Tigers coming back to eat me up! What shall I do?” So he ran quickly to a palm tree, and peeped round it to see what the matter was.
And there he saw all the Tigers fighting, and disputing which of them was the grandest. And at last they all got so angry that they jumped up and took off all the fine clothes, and began to tear each other with their claws, and bite each other with their great big white teeth.
And they came, rolling and tumbling right to the foot of the very tree where Little Black Sambo was hiding, but he jumped quickly in behind the umbrella. And the Tigers all caught hold of each other’s tails, as they wrangled and scrambled, and so they found themselves in a ring round the tree.
Then, when the Tigers were very wee and very far away, Little Black Sambo jumped up, and called out, “Oh! Tigers! why have you taken off all your nice clothes? Don’t you want them any more?” But the Tigers only answered, “Gr-r-rrrr!”
Then Little Black Sambo said, “If you want them, say so, or I’ll take them away.” But the Tigers would not let go of each other’s tails, and so they could only say “Gr-r-r-rrrrrr!”
So Little Black Sambo put on all his fine clothes again and walked off.
And the Tigers were very, very angry, but still they would not let go of each other’s tails. And they were so angry, that they ran round the tree, trying to eat each other up, and they ran faster and faster, till they were whirling round so fast that you couldn’t see their legs at all.
And they still ran faster and faster and faster, till they all just melted away, and there was nothing left but a great big pool of melted butter (or “ghi,” as it is called in India) round the foot of the tree.
Now Black Jumbo was just coming home from his work, with a great big brass pot in his arms, and when he saw what was left of all the Tigers he said, “Oh! what lovely melted butter!
I’ll take that home to Black Mumbo for her to cook with.”
So he put it all into the great big brass pot, and took it home to Black Mumbo to cook with.
When Black Mumbo saw the melted butter, wasn’t she pleased! “Now,” said she, “we’ll all have pancakes for supper!”
So she got flour and eggs and milk and sugar and butter, and she made a huge big plate of most lovely pancakes. And she fried them in the melted butter which the Tigers had made, and they were just as yellow and brown as little Tigers.
And then they all sat down to supper. And Black Mumbo ate Twenty-seven pancakes, and Black Jumbo ate Fifty-five but Little Black Sambo ate a Hundred and Sixty-nine, because he was so hungry.
1899 was a different era, same old concessions and the same old bellying up to the trough, little has changed eh??? Sambobama has to have some phony heritage, thus UN symbols and the tiger.
Mark, AMEN and tons of DITTO’s!
