Question About an Obama Bumper Sticker I Saw

Not sure really where this goes, but I have seen several in the past few days. It is a bumper sticker that has Obama's logo, you know the red and white stiped "road" on the"O". I suppose it is Obama's name written in Arabic or Hebew or something. I don't know what language it is and I couldn't read it if I did know. So, what is up with American's driving around with THAT on their cars? Where is this sort of support leading??

I'll play devil's advocate here and say maybe they are of that religion or nationality (I don't know the language either). Seems like no big deal to me. I'm not a fan of the guy, but at least he's catering to and supporting the "salad bowl" of all Americans...even if only in his bumper stickers.

Edit for typo

Hi there,

The language is Hebrew. The text is Barack Obama's name. From what I can tell (I don't speak Hebrew, just used a translation service and poked around online looking at shops selling the stickers) there's a pun involved with his name and the word for lightning in Hebrew, which is barak.

Hope this helps!

Yes, that is it.

I was wondering why all of a sudden I keep seeing these, whereas I didn't see them before the election. Also the cars I see them on already have Obama stickers from before the election. I guess it seems strange that they suddenly become popular after the fact.
