Absentee State Legislator Who Gave a Speech Finally Ruptures His Britches

Every elitist worth his salt needs his own coat of arms.

At a discussion with a dozen Democratic governors in Chicago on Friday morning, each of the governors was identified with a small name plate but Senator Barack Obama sat behind a low rostrum to which was attached an official-looking seal no one had seen before.

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.

In case you couldn't guess, vero possumus translates to si se puede.  And replacing the eagle's American flag shield from the actual Presidential seal with a shield bearing the Obama logo is a nice touch.

Do we even need to bother with the election?  Obama has clearly ascended to role of de facto defender of American liberty.  We should probably just let him have it and save everyone the headache.
