Vero translates to "In truth..". Possumus alone translates as "we can’t 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.

(NRA = National Recovery Administration, not the good NRA we now know and love).

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.

Oh that is funny that they are telling the truth by their bad translation! LOL So BO stands before a fake seal that says “in truth we can’t all do all things”! Priceless!
