How's that hopey, changey stuff working out for you? SP
-
I'm hearing as well but ASL has been with me all my life. I really like your third choice. I'm not particularly fond of Obama and the third one just seems the most neutral while still conveying who he is and his importance. Great options, though. :)
-
That's not fair, I've met Deaf who's sign name is spelled. OBAMA is individual. What was Bush Sign Name?
-
the first two are really cool, i like!
-
i agree, but i wanna make
that shaking O like
the yes we can nod,
since it's that positivism
that's so catching,
even if a lot of things are still the same
(re. questioning the change sign).
comments on another vlog
also suggest the O becoming a rainbow,
but that also feels a bit heavy ideologically.
-
because in the deaf community we don't fingerspell our names, we create unique sign names for each individual.
-
i am hearing as well, so i hope it is ok if i present my opinion as well: i agree with JonnaTeach on that because using an "O" classifier to sign the word "change" represents him and the change he hopes to bring to America. I like it :]
-
The sign name associated with his logo (O hs to b hs for the flag) has caught on in Seattle. Before watching this vlog it was the only one I'd seen.

@DeadGirlsPass LOL...don't think he's stupid now that he allows gay partners to participate in the decision of their loved ones in hospital. That is a brave thing for a President to do. Maybe other situations, you can call him stupid, but for this one alone, I call him "brave".

I don't like any of those! What's wrong with the spelling.. it's short O-ba-ma

Yeah I know what you mean Cookie, I'm just pointing out that there are several sign names being created while Obama was becoming our 44th president... right now I fingerspell his name. :)

I like the first one because it felt more natural.. Adding fingerspelled letters with "president" sign seems like a little, SEE-ish, or "Hello Body Odor!!" But that's just me. ;)

LOL!! I see your point, I have decided to fingerspell his name "O-B-A-M-A" until further notice. :)
