Newsvine - Obama Unveils His New "Eagle Seal" For The Nation

When I saw it, as a one-time fan of Carl G. Jung's (SPOILER: free association follows) one of Sigmund Freud's associates in the study of "WWI war neuroses" (recently "exonerated" found to be working behind "enemy lines" in WWII) book published in the 1960s "Man and His Symbols" my first thought was the symbol I think from the FDR administration, for the "NRA" the National Recovery Act, which was begun in the "Great Depression" and led to many improvements in American infrastructure and lives. An earlier "depression" was thought, averted by the Secretary of the Treasury, George B. Cortelyou>, the price of a loaf of bread had gone from 5 cents to 10 cents. He had been Chairman of the GOP, began teaching shorthand in NYC, a Sinfonian member ("1862–1940 (Alpha Alpha 1903?, Alpha Honorary 1914?; First United States Secretary of Commerce and Labor, 1903–1904; United States Postmaster General, 1905–1907; United States Secretary of the Treasury, 1907–1909") and when he invited the press into the White House to discuss then still living President McKinley's condition after being shot at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, NY, became technically the "first White House Press Secretary" according to a journal article of the National Archives, in which Dee Dee Myers, the first woman under the Clinton Administration, is however left out of the article. He was an early CEO of Consolidated Edison in NYC. His "Harbor Lights" home in Huntington, NY was recently put on sale, his Washington, D.C. one had appeared in "Victorian Homes" and I once corresponded with its then current owner, an historian of gaslight. Mr. Cortelyou's mother's family was part of my father's family way back when, a "great aunt" I remember, though my grandfather a Brooklyn "reform Democrat".
