President Obama’s Vast Ice-Cream Conspiracy

When Barack Obama was vacationing in Maine last weekend, he stopped at the Mount Desert Ice Cream Shop, which has a sign bearing a fist clenching a spoon that, yes, resembles the Black Power symbol. A photographer snapped a photo, and the conservative blogosphere went rabid. Or did it? On July 20, a Bangor Daily News reporter wrote that “several right-leaning bloggers have suggested that the decision by Obama, the nation’s first black president, to patronize a shop with what one site called ‘such a politically-sensitive logo’ has hidden, intentional meaning.” (The owner of the store is white.)

Notice the ‘black power’ sign behind Obama? Maybe he’s sending out a message to his peeps in the New Black Panther Party. Just pontificating.” —Scotty Starnes’ Politically Incorrect

You’re probably tired of see the Jug-Earred Jackass holding this ice-cream cone … Want to know why he bought it at that particular shop?
