Brave New Iconography: Vero possumus

Oh for crying out loud, the presumptous nominee has apparently decided that the presidential seal is campaign fodder. So he had it redesigned for events that are 'presidential' - whatever that means.

The Obama seal replaces 'E pluribus unum' (Out of many, one) with 'Vero possumus', which is Latin for 'Yes, we can.' and his URL is where the 'Seal of the President' text should be. The inevitable circlet or morning (or is that mourning?) sits behind the eagle.

Seriously, does the arrogance never end?
