Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Obama brushed aside criticism of his appropriation of a modified Presidential Seal in his campaign appearances, calling it “a transitional form of the seal. I’m not too happy with the eagle, it’s an aggressive bird. And the arrows are terrible symbolism. But I felt it would be too traumatic to try to change it all at once.”
Obama’s seal includes the same bald eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons, but in place of the stars-and-stripes shield in the center of the eagle’s body, is the campaign’s trademark “O.” Instead of saying “ “Seal of the President of the United States” around the outer ring, the words “Obama for America” and www.barackobama.com appear.
“Ultimately,” Obama indicated, “completely new symbols will have to be found.” The senator is reputed to favor replacing the eagle with a turkey. “Ben Franklin suggested a turkey as the national bird,” Obama recalled. “I often ponder what our history would’ve been had this more pacific creature been chosen.”

Apparently he doesn’t know why the Eagle is facing the olive branch instead of the arrows.
Well if Obama get elected the bird on the presidential seal might as well be a Turkey.
Is he going to change the official seal? No eagle, no arrows?
What universe is he from?
Whoops, I thought it was real, because that is just how stupid the guy is.
Note that Obama keeps the fasces in the image. That is telling.
“I often ponder what our history would’ve been had this more pacific creature been chosen.”

Heaven help this arrogant @$$hole if he changes our sacred seal.

Reminds me of a song I once knew ... Hmmmm?
