Barack Obama appears with personalized presidential seal BY Michael Saul and Celeste Katz DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS Brandon/AP - Friday, June 20th 2008, 8:20 PM nydailynews.com Barack Obama introduced his own take on the presidential seal on Friday. Yes, he can. But, really: Oh, no, he didn't! Barack Obama's presidential campaign raised eyebrows and elicited snickers Friday when it unveiled the Obamamania version of the presidential seal. At a meeting with Democratic governors in Chicago, Obama sat behind a rostrum with a seal that looked not-so-coincidentally like the official seal of the President of the United States. Featuring an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, the seal contained a Latin phrase for a touch of gravitas that roughly translates to "Yes, We Can." Asked to explain the new seal, Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, "It's a mix of presidential politics and a call for hope and change." Snarked John McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds, "I think we can all agree that we need presidential candidates that are serious enough not to play make-believe on the campaign trail." "It's laughable, ridiculous, preposterous and revealing all at the same time," Bounds said. * * *
