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.
I am glad this is coming out - Obama has had his own brand of a Presidential Seal right on his web site. No one has noticed. That Obama rendition Does say ...”E Pluribus Unum” on it (or Z ). I wrote about it over 3 months ago. The one on his site carries an African Spear rather than 13 arrows...go figure
