June 21, 2008 The Great Seal of Obamaland?
This is either the creepiest thing I've ever seen in politics or a joke. Obama showed up at a meeting of Demcocratic governors in Chicago yesterday and appeared behind a podium sporting a seal that looks remarkably like the Presidential Seal:
 Is all this talk about Obama being the savior of America – the man who can bridge the gap between the races, heal the sick, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and return America to the good old days of grovelling at the feet of the UN and other tyrants going to the candidate’s head? Like I said - creepy. Has the candidate been overcome with a sense of his own destiny? Has be become some kind of megalomaniac? The boys at Powerline get it about right:
The seal's...got a terrifically impressive motto in Latin -- "Vero Possumus" -- which means "The possum speaks truthily." Maybe someone can explain why putting the banal refrain of "Yes We Can" in Latin isn't just a little pretentious. Sort of like translating "I enjoy Coca-Cola with my hamburger" into French in order to seduce a woman. Of course, this is one of those "distractions" we are instructed by the candidate to ignore. For myself, and as I explain here, the whole thing gives me the creeps. |
