Don't get me wrong, I love the guy.
But first they unveil a fake presidential seal during the campaign and get rightly made fun of for it. Now, he gives his very first press conference as the president-elect behind a podium labeled: "Office of the President-elect." I know image is everything, but come on! The election results speak for themselves. Obama doesn't need to convince anyone that he looks presidential. He is. And he doesn't need a fake seal to get that message across. It comes across whenever he speaks. To me, the fake seal comes across as a lack of confidence, a message I know they do not want to send.
Am I missing something here?
