COLUMBIA, Mo. — Several Missouri schools are complaining about notebooks and pencils with designs similar to the logos from President Barack Obama's campaign.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that complaints from unhappy officials at three Missouri schools have prompted the supply company responsible for the materials to travel across the state recalling notebooks and pencils.
The design at issue includes a picture of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Above the coins is the phrase: "CHANGE" and underneath it reads: "WE CAN BELIEVE IN." Below the words is a circle used by Obama's campaign, in which the top half is blue and the bottom is red with three white lines cutting through it.
There's a picture of the school supplies in question here. Go check it out for yourself - maybe the school officials were overreacting, because that looks nothing like 0bama's logo or sounds nothing like his campaign rhetoric (sarcasm alert).
Imagine, if you will, if school supplies had shown up with slogans from George Bush's campaign. Imagine the uproar, furor, and comparisons to "Hitler Youth". This would have been a week-long headliner in a series of "ZOMG GEORGE BUSH'S AMERIKKKA!!!!11111"
But since it's the Annointed 0ne, only "Faux News" carries the story. Par for the course from our "mainstream" media...
That is all.
Thanks to alert reader, friend, and general mensch Brad_in_ma for the link to this infuriating story...

Oh ye of little faith.........
That my friend is the often talked about "Obama Money" that shall shower down on the masses like manna from heaven. Watch carefully for the rainbow cr*ping unicorns next.
That could be interpreted as a not so subtle slam at President Yobama. Remember conservatives said that pocket change was all that we would have if he won. That's what that cover reminded me of.
We were promised change. We got $787 billion in additional debt (so far).
Time for math class, kiddies.
