Obama Campaign Yanks New Seal

Graphical Seal Similar To Presidential Seal Was On Candidate's Podium For Event Last Week

(AP)  A presidential seal graphically altered with symbols representing Barack Obama's campaign of change was just for one-time use and will not be used again, a spokeswoman for the Democrat's campaign said Monday.

The seal, with its blue background and an eagle in the center clutching arrows and an olive branch, evoked the official presidential version, but had been altered with a new Latin phrase, instead of the original "E pluribus unum," which means, "Out of many, one."

Obama's campaign changed the phrase to "Vero possumus," which can be roughly translated to his "Yes, we can" slogan. The seal also featured his "O" campaign logo covering the eagle's body, instead of a shield.

When the altered seal was unveiled last Friday in Chicago, it raised eyebrows and prompted comments about how presidential it looked. The Republican National Committee gleefully ridiculed it as a prop.

Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for Obama's campaign, said Monday that the altered seal would not be used again. She said it was only intended for that event, in which Obama held a round-table discussion with Democratic governors.

''Vero possomus'' is really an old democrat phrase that translates to ''Eat more possum''.

Are you too blind to see the difference between McVet the Obama supporter and MCVet the fake imposter who is trying to discredit McVet? LMAO

[toldyouso12]

Obama better also yank that idea that his supporters want to give money to him to bail Hillary''s debt ridden azz out. She and her supporters made that bed--they should lie in it until it''s paid for. LOL

Was that a part of "re-defining himself"?

Re-defining himself as a pompous bastitch.

[txgrouch2004]

YAWN.

This is adding up to be the non-story of the day.

Isn''''t it amazing that all the anti-Obama bloggers have such a huge sense of outrage about this silly story, but absolutely none about McBush''''s chief strategist saying a terrorist attack would be a good thing for McSame? Your priorities are a bit out of whack!

****! His art/sealdrawing department had to redo their flawed rendition. Bother me again when it wrecks the economy, sells my childrens'' futures, and kills over 4,000 US troops.

McCain was quick to distance himself from that remark, but Obama stood behind the seal and in front of a row of flags....The priorities are straight, it''s you that is out of whack, nanc12......

[msay3]

He knows that Americans, no matter their color or economic level want change; the need to end a civil war with no military solution, to make our dollar stronger, to restore America''''s status in the world, and to offer a brighter future for our children and their children.

We all listen to Obama''s rhetoric, but has anyone ever heard him lay out a plan as to HOW he intends to accomplish any of this?

It was a pretty scummy use of the seal of office. But of course, Obama has no foresight at all when it comes to American patriotism and traditions. He has nothing but contempt for it. We already knew that.

As usual he has to come back and re-tract some krap for brains stunt that he had no clue would be insulting.

In addition, he makes some assanine excuse about wearing a lapel pin...it''s just too too...whatever...

Then he goes to Kenya, puts on a damned turban and a dress to honor tradition...I guess that just wasn''t too....too...huh?

Oh Please !
Why would you go to the expense of creating a one-time-only seal? This latest stunt reminds of something out the Little Rascals (The He
Man Womans Haters club, I believe). Obama''s mouthpieces are just as ridiculous. Too bad he is trying to become President. That''s not so funny.
