like he's saying 'I'm not the president, but I want to be'. It's completely not subtle, so it's not like he's trying to get away with anything.

no one will mistake him for president by accident (well unless he gets elected in which case he would be) using that logo.

I mean what would be more suitable (serious question)?

I'm sure someone will chime in with some wiseass remark, but really, it's just a little logo someone on his staff thought up and he liked it enough to give it the go ahead.

Maybe for a speech backdrop he can get a huge poster of Mt. Rushmore with his face photoshopped on it.

This seal is meant to work on people psychologically, giving them the subliminal impression that Barack is Presidential material, or perhaps, in a psychological sense, already the President.

No corporation would tolerate this blatant ripoff of their logo. He is attempting to assume the power conveyed by the real Presidential seal.

I think this one is much better suited to his campaign.
