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.

Why bother with an election? Just cancel it and move him into the White House right now.
Maybe Obama will go around for so long acting like he’s president people will get tired of it and demand change!

It's actually a decent little cartoon for the kids.
It kinda gets them intrrested in doing and building stuff ect.
The guy's question is "Can we build it?"
and the answer is "Yes we can!"

And if it is illegal, you can bet Mrs. Clinton is investigating it as we speak. Getting Barry thrown in the slammer for a few months would be verrrrrrry convenient for her nomination.

I think I must attribute that line to President Truman, or someone of that era who said “Tom Dewey went around for so long acting like he was president, the American people wanted a change.”
