Obama Changes Presidential Seal

Sunday, June 22, 2008 4:53 PM




Sen. Barack Obama has promised "change," and his campaign has already been hard at work changing one of the basic symbols of the nation — the Presidential Seal.

On Friday, the press was abuzz over the new seal, which was unveiled on Obama's podium when he spoke to a group of Democratic governors.

While the Obama seal does include the American bald eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, the resemblance ends there.

The Latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum," which translates to "Out of many, one," now says "Vero Possumus." Press reports translate the Latin words as "Truly, we are able" — a rough translation of the Obama campaign slogan, "Yes we can."

The deletion of "E Pluribus Unum," long considered the de-facto motto of the United States, is not accidental for multiculturalists, who have long denigrated the concept that immigrants must strip away their old culture in favor of the "oneness" of American civilization.

In the 1990s, such activists promoted the alternative concept of the nation's ethnic "mosaic," rather than a single, overarching metaphor to describe American society. For example, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has pointedly criticized the "E Pluribus Unum" motto as not reflecting the nation's diversity.

Other Obama changes to the seal include the removal of the shield over the eagle's breast, representing the president's oath to defend the Constitution. The shield has been replaced with the letter "O" — presumably for Obama — and the image of a rising sun.

"This is too serious a contest about too serious of issues for a candidate to be playing make-believe on the trail," Brian Rogers, a spokesman for presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, told The Los Angeles Times.

I believe it was real but they have since backpeddled.

[nautiduck]

Very much real, They removed the motto across the top and the shield over the Eagle. They have since stopped using it because of the constant mockery by the press. Its amazing the biggest proponent for removing the E Pluribus Unum "Out of many, one," since the early 90's, is Loius Farrakhan the leader of the Nation of Islam.. Makes ya think doesnt it.

LuckyLady, funny you said that. I told my wife just a few weeks ago when she asked me why Hillary was pushing the issue so hard. I told her I thought Hillary was banking on someone taking Obama out. Then she would be the obvious shoe-in for the spot, in many peoples minds. I'm not saying that this should happen but I sure wouldn't be suprrised. I'm not against a black man becoming President (I think Colin Powell would perk my interest, but he's too smart to bite), I just have more questions than answers about Obama. You know where a true leader stands right or wrong, but you know.

HOW ?

I say HOW did this ______and Hillary Clinton ever get the opportunity to run for president of the greatest country in the world. I just don't understand it.

What are the QUALIFICATIONS to be a president of the U.S.of A.? Do you even have to have a green card ?

St. Peter is at the Pearly Gates checking up on the peoplewaiting to enter Heaven. He asks the next one in line, 'So, who are you, andwhat did you do on Earth?'

The fellow says, 'I'm Barack Obama, and I was the first black Muslim to beelected President of the United States '

St. Peter says, 'The U.S.? A black Muslim President? Yougotta be kidding me! When did this happen?'
Obama says, 'About twenty minutes ago.'
