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.

I thought it translated "A Possum in every pot."

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!

Vero Possumus actually means, in Chicagoese, “Eat more possum”.

I figured "Vero Possumus" meant "for sure, I'm a possum".

How do you figure that?

From Perseus' Latin morphological analysis tool:

possum : to be able, have power, can
possumus : pres ind act 1st pl
