We talked about it on another thread. The latin on it is supposed to mean “Yes we can”.

Vero translates to “In truth..”. Possumus alone translates as “we can’t all (do) all things “

Obama’s campaign was made aware their translation was wrong but they said it was close enough.

It is clearly illegal. But who is going to charge the son of a snake. John Kerry clearly committed treason. But he still crawls the earth a free creature.

Yea, I guess you are right. We would not want to start something—that might be racist. I guess I shouldn’t have bothered to post this. Going to bed.

The Black Messiah's arrogance is finally getting what his handlers don't want: the mainstream spotlight. Call it the audacity of.......audacity.
