Vero translates to "In truth..". Possumus alone translates as "we cant all (do) all things"I thought it translated "A Possum in every pot."

Makes me think of FDR's blue eagle when this country was having its sampling of fascism.

This is just the beginning. Next Obama is going to pimp his campaign plane to look like a purple velvet version of Air force One.
The middle of the plane will have it's own Midnight basketball court and everything.
