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.

Is the Obama slogan, “Yes, we can,” a corruption of this old hymn?
“Are ye able,” said the Master,
“To be crucified with Me?”
“Yea,” the sturdy dreamers answered,
“To the death we follow Thee.”
Lord, we are able. Our spirits are Thine.
Remold them, make us, like Thee, divine.
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be
A beacon to God, to love and loyalty.
I think this 2-headed eagle would be more appropriate for an Obama-nation.
L0L! Go Kate!
Eggs?
This is not the seal I knew.
I’m pretty sure he meant cajones. Nordp?
this man will do more damage to this country than binladen , hamas, jerry carter or anyone could do
if he gets power and the dems too they will turn this country into a hell hole and it will take 50 years to correct it.
The likes of Iran’s leader being invited to the white house, black power groups like the black panthers will get invited, nation of islam will be invited
radical left wing groups like move on . org will be there
we will have a first lady who does not like this country and no matter how they try and do her over, she is an angry woman who has a deep hatred of this country as well as whites
to think no one had heard about this man 5 years ago and now he could be the most powerful man in the world
still I look forward to seeing him in Iraq and getting the truth
I look froward to seeing him having town hall meetings
o sorry I was dreaming , he won’t let the average person from middle America , I mean they are beneath him and surely the truth about Iraq would hurt him
Obama the flip flopper and nom poutrage from the media
his associations , no outrage ‘
his racist associates and statements by him and his wife
no outrage
let gas prices go up , no outrage
In fact today I talked to a lady at the hospital and they had neevr even heard half of what I had just said because they watch NBC and MSNBC
I dispair at the dims I really do
Boy, the sculptors did a lousy job on that one on the far left.
You owe me a keyboard! LOL
He is a son of the Other. Look out baby, This creature is a sociopath.
Well I hope you striaghtened those folks out!
LOL! That would be great!
I thought “vero possumus” translated into, “Soros may look like a possum but he has lots of money.”
Make a great decal for the toilet.
What next? A special pledge to Obama? A spiffy little salute?
lets put it this way, just before my surgery I talked for some time and told this woman that how OBama said what he said, she never knew
she never knew about the weather underground
she never had heard about his raising taxes over a trillion, I asked if she owned her house and she did and told her then be [prepared to have less money
told her about MSNBC and NBC and she was astonished and said that she cannot believe she was tricked into voting for him in the primaries and that when she gets home she’ll be telling her family about this.
Wrong referent. It’s obviously a toned down version of the sort of fascist symbolism FDR used during the ‘New Deal’.
Funny you should say that. I salute him everytime I see him...in my own special way.
