Why does the Obama logo show the sun rising over the American flag??
The logo of the Obama campaign shows a portion of the American flag (the horizon), a blue ring (the sky) and a white center (the sun). Why does Obama have such a logo? Is this the savior motif? Obama may be portraying himself as a savior by means of the rising sun.

Because there has to be better years ahead since with every passing day Bush Co. is still in charge, we’re seeking rock bottom.

Sigh. The blue "ring" is an O. The white middle can be interpreted as the sun, but the centerpiece of the logo is the O, for Obama (obviously). The red stripes aren’t the flag – they’re just stripes, and some interpret it as a field. The Obama logo is provocative because it makes you think, and it’s efficient because he doesn’t have to write his whole name next to it. Look at McCain’s logo – he has a star over his name. Does that mean he thinks he is a star? He doesn’t even have the flag in his logo!!!! GASP!!!!! how unpatriotic. in fact, McCain’s background is black. Does the black represent his evil nature? Clearly, McCain’s logo tells us he is the anti christ. (end sarcasm)

That is not it at all. This is what I found.
