Via John M. Broder of the Times Caucus blog, behold the Great Seal of the United States of Obamaland:

Broder reports that this seal was on display while Obama spoke to Democratic governors in Chicago this morning.
It is emblazoned with a fierce-looking eagle clutching an olive branch in one claw and arrows in the other and is deliberately reminiscent of the official seal of the president of the United States. Around the top border are the words "Obama for America;" across the bottom is the campaign's Web address. It also contains the logo of the Obama campaign, variously interpreted as a sunrise or a view down an open road.
Just above the eagle's head are the words "Vero Possumus," roughly translated "Yes we can." Not exactly E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One), the motto on the presidential seal and the dollar bill.
