Has anyone else seen this? I wish I could claim I was making this up, but - honest to God - I'm not. Obama debuted this new campaign logo on Friday in Chicago and it has apparently been modeled on the Presidential Seal. A couple pretty damn obvious problems with this. First, nobody likes the guy who's cocky enough to act as if the contest is over before it's even begun. And nothing says "the rest of this campaign doesn't matter" more than this ridiculous seal. Second - and much more importantly - if you want to ingratiate yourself with working class white voters who think you're elitist, you don't do it by translating your campaign slogan into latin. Not that I speak it, but the good folks at CNN have kindly translated the inscription above the eagle in Obama's new logo, "vero possumus," as "Yes we can."
You've got to be kidding? Right?
