Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., speaks during a meeting of Democratic
Governors

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., speaks during a meeting of Democratic Governors at the Chicago History Museum in Chicago Friday, June 20, 2008. A new seal debuted on Obama's podium Friday, sporting iconography used in the U.S. presidential seal, the blue background, the eagle clutching arrows on left and olive branch on right, but with symbolic differences. Instead of the Latin 'E pluribus unum' (Out of many, one), Obama's says 'Vero possumus', rough Latin for 'Yes, we can.' Instead of 'Seal of the President of the United States', Obama's Web site address is listed. And instead of a shield, Obama's eagle wears his 'O' campaign logo with a rising sun representing hope ahead.

3. I do not like the seal - speaks
of "puffery" - elevating him to something he has not yet attained. Would be surprised if it was not mocked heartily by Pox "News".

Plus too "busy" from a graphics standpoint IMO - detracts from the main attention point - our terrific candidate.

I don't like my contributions going for such things. Better to pay more workers on the ground and great ads. This was not inexpensive.
