CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) – Presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama sat down in Chicago Friday morning to discuss the economy with visiting Democratic governors, but all eyes were on the Illinois senator’s podium bearing, what might be described as, a quasi-presidential seal – a new Obama campaign logo.
The seal includes the same bald eagle as the actual presidential seal clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons, but instead of a shield covering the center of the eagle’s body, the Obama version displays the campaign’s trademark “O.” Unlike the Presidential seal, which includes the words “Seal of the President of the United States” around the circumference, “Obama for America” and “www.barackobama.com” grace the top and bottom of Obama's.
Finally, just above the eagle, in Latin, are the words – “vero possumus” – which translates to “yes we can,” the oft-heard chant at Obama rallies. It remains to be seen how the new seal will play in the campaign’s quest to win over working-class voters.

Huevos as large as his ears.
They didn’t “collide”. He usurped it.
Where is the UN flag on his symbol?!
Actually I think he is just plain nuts.
Arrogant and nuts. They’re not mutually exclusive. LOL!
The seal might be illegal. We’re discussing it here:

Sorry, white working class Ohio voter not impressed! In fact it looks more like he is trying to play like he is already elected and that really upets me.
Maybe his Latin motto should be:
“Eatum More Possumus”
That's pretty much it. The attempt is to have him be SEEN as president. This is just plain weird.
Same thing, except the red, white and blue is missing. No surprise there.
Well duh, he needs a new seal for the 57 states he’ll be president of. Now he just needs to change the flag.
Illegal much? Found this at AceofSpades.com
18 USCS § 713
Use of likenesses of the great seal of the United States, the seals of the President and Vice President, the seal of the United States Senate, the seal of the United States House of Representatives, and the seal of the United States Congress
(a) Whoever knowingly displays any printed or other likeness of the great seal of the United States, or of the seals of the President or the Vice President of the United States, or the seal of the United States Senate, or the seal of the United States House of Representatives, or the seal of the United States Congress, or any facsimile thereof, in, or in connection with, any advertisement, poster, circular, book, pamphlet, or other publication, public meeting, play, motion picture, telecast, or other production, or on any building, monument, or stationery, for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
The Obama campaign didn’t usurp it, they distorted it and demeaned it, turning it into something all together different, where the strength and vigilance of the eagle is turning tail and taking flight, the olive branches are dropped and the flag or bunting, looks to be hurried gathered behind the Obama seal, where it can hardly be seen. Oh, and it is not the bald eagle, with a white head, that we are accustomed to seeing, maybe a golden eagle with a smaller head, but that is no bald eagle.
