Salute the zero!

This is the new hand sign for the Obama campaign?

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.
You gotta be kidding me! That's straight out of the old Star Trek episode, "The Way to Eden" (the really lame one with the space-hippies!). (h/t: Hot Air)



Not to mention, it's the sign of a big ol' ZERO. As in, that's how much executive experience Obama has.

On second thought; a symbol with zealous cultish overtones, born from the hippie movement, symbolizing a great big hollow nothing?

It's perfect!

PLEASE use it, Dems. Please!
