Senator Obama was in Chicago last friday to discuss the economy with visiting Democratic governors, but during his meeting, all eyes were on the Illinois senator's podium.

The stand bears what some say is a seal similar to that of the president's, and is being used as a new Obama campaign logo.

It includes the same bald eagle as the actual seal, clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons.

On Obama's seal are the words "Obama for America," rather than seal of the president of the United States.

And finally, on Obama's seal are the words "yes we can" in Latin.
