The Hidden Truth in Obama’s New Recovery Logo

Today, President Obama unveiled a new logo, seen above, that will be used to identify projects paid for by the porkulus bill. Okay. Whatever. But look at the logo for a minute. See any problems?

Well, first off, it is obviously an “O” shape and reminiscent of Obama’s campaign logos. That should probably bother me, but at this point I couldn’t care less.

More importantly, what’s the deal with the marijuana leaf? Are we going to grow our way out the recession? Or is Obama betting that if we’re all high enough, we just won’t care. I’m joking, somewhat, but seriously was there any money for agriculture in the porkulus bill? I don’t get it.

Most importantly, what’s the deal with the gears? Does anyone in the administration realize that the gears don’t match and could never mesh? I’m not a mechanical engineer, but I am a thinker and I am quite certain that those gears could never actually move anything–which is a completely accurate and appropriate symbol for the porkulus bill.
