POLITICAL ROUNDUP: OBAMA DROPS SEAL


Following days of scrutiny from the media and others, Sen. Barack Obama has stopped using a presidential-looking seal.
Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, “It was a one-time seal for a one-time use.”
The media slammed Obama for the seal, which includes an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch with the phrase “Vero Possumus” above it, a Latin phrase loosely translated as “Yes, we can”. Several journalists called it dumb, bizarre and arrogant.
The McCain campaign called the seal “laughable, ridiculous, preposterous and revealing–all at the same time.”
It looks like Obama may be using the real thing soon. The latest Newsweek poll shows him with a 15-point lead over Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

Mc Cain is just jealous his campaign didn't think of doing it first. Personally, I think its a good look. It's like placing a face with a name...even a glimpse into the future!
