The idea that this project is "controversial" or "political" is petty and childish and ignorant. This is not about endorsing a candidate for office. This is about honoring the President of the United States. Whether or not you voted for him is totally and completely irrelevant. He IS THE PRESIDENT OF OUR NATION. Comparing him with a tampon is in unbelievably bad taste - and certainly nonpatriotic. Personally, the craft doesn't interest me - but the comments are absurdly immature and uninformed.

I come to this site to get away from the worries of the day. Besides that, I did not or have not seen a craft dedicated to former President Bush! Right now we are dealing with the Healthcare law failure to honor the terms we were promised. He is by no means a " new"president so this really is an outdated idea. A lot of us are looking for economical ways to make NICE gifts to help strech our dollars. We don't have the luxury of billing the American taxpayers millions for trips to exotic locations or ski resorts as they doi! This really was not a good idea for a craft.

I agree with you whole-heartedly! Although there are haters, Mr.Obama is STILL the elected president of these great United States of America.

He has my prayers and support.

Have you lost your minds??? A plate with Obama's pattern is a slap in the face to all of us. He is not legally the president and if you want to honor president's day, do it for a real president from the past. Obviously you have no idea how much money he wastes on vacations and fun trips on our dime. Now the insurance debacle. I think my ideas are more in line with most Americans and personally I would not spit on Obama if he was on fire. I am ashamed to call myself an American anymore until he is gone. I am a citizen of the Great Nation of Texas.

President's day should not be about the "current" president. It is about all presidents and especially Washington and Lincoln. They deserve to be celebrated.

The arguments for this propaganda are bizarre and so is the president having his own symbol separate from those shared symbols of the US. I don't think I have ever heard of a sitting US president so mindlessly worshiped. Kennedy (a true revolutionary and advocate of peace) was long gone before folks made him into a messianic character and even Reagan took some serious knocks during his tenure. The Obama followers are more cult than political party. Kierkegaard did say all things eventual become religion. And this is a craft site. So how 'bout we don't dirty it with political worship...

Well, yes, then teach our children his ZERO acclaim!

AMEN!!! Let's not forget he didn't win the popular vote not even close but only won by the electorial vote. Tells you something about his popularity. I know a lady age 92, who had never voted in her life but stood in line with a walker for 3 hours to register to vote for a "black man" that was her words not mine and then stood in line 2 hours to vote. Her comment was "nobody had ever been worth her time to vote before". Sorry to sound off but I think this is really tacky. This is a craft site not a site for someone to "craft" their political views. Who is Obama to have his own symbol. Give me a break.

First, President's Day is long over (your site doesnt continue to run Christmas or Valentine's projects past their seasons). Second, President's Day is actually to celebrate the birthdays of Pres. Washington and Lincoln not sitting presidents. Third, this is a horrible recycling project requiring the use of brand-new paper products. From the amount of negative comments listed you don't seem to care how many of your subscribers you offend with this project. There are fewer and fewer areas that don't serve to divide instead of unite; please keep crafting a unifier.

If you are indeed a crafting person you should know you never have to use products listed here improvise adjust things to your liking.

Actually they DO run Christmas and Valentine's projects all year long Take a look in the list of links at the top left of this page There is a link for holiday crafts which takes you to all types of holiday crafts year round There is a separate link for Christmas crafts as there are so many of them Second Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays used to be celebrated independently of each other on their actual dates When it was decided to merge the two dates together into what is now known as President's day the new holiday was designed to pay homage to ALL Presidents past and present Third there is no reason for ANYONE to be offended by the project above Obama is the current President of the United States and therefore should be celebrated as such whether one likes him or not The same can be said of all…Read More elected officials

Well, I'm only 41, but I remember several. I remember that when Carter was President, we did several crafts in school with peanuts to "celebrate our President" When Reagan was President, we did several crafts in school with Jelly Beans to "Celebrate our President". Crafts related to a sitting President are no new thing. It doesn't make those crafts a political statement, as our President is our President, regardless of political party.

Racism isn't the reason the "little queen" isn't liked, his Socialist ideology is, his appointing MOSLEMS to government offices is, his BOLD moves to destroy/ignore OUR Constitution with his "pen and phone". Saying mothers are responsible for the suicides of their children is horrible, YOUR president is for killing them in the womb, while HIS people the MOSLEMs are breeding like flies. You need to do some research on what Obamanation really stands for instead of just swallowing what his mouth pieces tell you?

It is important for us to respect the office of President and the person who is elected to the office. However, it is extremely disrespectful of that office to have a separate symbol for one president, require that symbol to be painted on airforce 1, presidential letter-head, etc...and now to teach children to paint it as a symbol of President's Day...although now that it is way past President's Day and closer to (re)Election Day, I'm pretty sure that the next step to this "craft" will be to attach a stick and post it in your front yard.

Air Force One does NOT have the Obama symbol on it. It still has the U.S. Flag and the Presidential seal on it. The plane that Obama had with his symbol on it was a privately owned plane for shuttling himself and his staff around when he was a candidate. McCain had one also, which had the McCain symbol on it.
