Wow! Obama is pictured on the billboard of Time Square.

Posted: Jan 6, 2010

The latest celebrity ad to grace a Times Square billboard doesn't feature an athlete, rock star or actor. It's President Obama sporting a black jacket made by the company Weatherproof.

But the White House isn't happy about the newest exposure, saying the president's image -- captured by The Associated Press during his November trip to the Great Wall in Badaling, China -- is not supposed to be used for commercial purposes.

"The White House has a longstanding policy disapproving of the use of the president's name and likeness for commercial purposes," White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a written statement.

They're so busy pumping him up all the time, I would think they would be happy he is on Times Square. Another feather in their cap. What was the purpose of this? Commercialism? Are you sure?

Don't mean to be sarcastic, but it seems that the only other presidents I've seen like this have been in foreign countries like Cuba, Venezuela, Iraq, Russia, Iran, etc.

Forgive me. I've had a rough day. Tomorrow will be better. :-(

My teenage son saw the article and picture - Comment?

"What? He is trying to be like Hitler?"

I hope you explain to him the difference between fascism and - theft of personal likeness

I suspect he didn't come up with that on his own. sm - whatever

Why in the world would someone, especially a kid, say that, unless he heard it from someone else? So every time he sees a picture and article of someone, he thinks they're trying to be like Hitler?

That was exactly my first thought - Colleen

(I wonder what Mr. Scheuer thought about that famous photo of Bush holding hands with a Saudi prince.) By David EdwardsTuesday, May 4th, 2010 -- 12:47 pm The Times Square bomb "100% worked," the NYPD was "dead beat" by the bomber, and President Barack Obama's bow to the Saudi King led to the plot, in the first place. That's all true if you believe Fox News guest Michael Scheuer. It's not the first time Scheuer, formerly in charge of the CIA's Bin Laden issue station, has r ...

Take a look at the dire situation that America was experiencing in 1981, when Reagan took office, and take a look at what the economy looked like 3 years later.

Every one of them has serious flaws, either of character, personality, world view, experience, or philosophy - and in most cases more than one of these - that I simply cannot stomach. In my experience, it's always a choice between the lesser of two evils, but this election cycle seems to have brought out a spectacularly miserable collection of candidates. And yes, Sanders and Trump supporters, I mean them too - or perhaps especially them too. It looks like I'll be sitting on my ...

The commutation of Chelsea Manning’s prison term will forever be a blot on President Obama’s legacy. Just as the pardon granted Marc Rich by President Clinton on his last day in office became a totem of the odious pay-to-play money grubbing of Bill and Hillary, l’affaire Manning will be an enduring reminder of Obama’s constant pandering to special voter groups and mindless adherence to a progressive agenda. It will also stand as testimony to President Obama’s questionable fealty to ...
