Mo. schools complain over supplies with Obama logo - Yahoo! News


Mo. schools complain over supplies with Obama logo - Yahoo! News:

"COLUMBIA, Mo. – Several Missouri schools are complaining about notebooks and pencils with designs similar to the logos from President Barack Obama's campaign. The Columbia Daily Tribune reported that complaints from unhappy officials at three Missouri schools have prompted the supply company responsible for the materials to travel across the state recalling notebooks and pencils.

The design at issue includes a picture of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Above the coins is the phrase: 'CHANGE' and underneath it reads: 'WE CAN BELIEVE IN.' Below the words is a circle used by Obama's campaign, in which the top half is blue and the bottom is red with three white lines cutting through it."
