Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has stirred a lot of buzz with its latest innovation, a new seal that combines elements of the actual presidential seal and Obama's logo.
They may want to rethink the Latin inscription "vero possumus," however. It made me think of opossum. I don't think the campaign wants people thinking of opossum when they look at Obama.
Vero possumus essentially means "Truly we're able" which is basically "Yes, we can," the Obama campaign's slogan.
Maybe "speratus" which means "hope" would've worked better. At least it wouldn't have people thinking of opossum.

What next, a pledge to Obambi and some snappy salutes?
Liberal fascism never was more true.
Maybe he’ll next copy the old National Recovery Act logo.
He’s for change!
Just begging for a photoshop to read:
Weh ahve met the enemy and he is Obama
And here I thought “vero possumus” (pronounced “VEER-O possumus”) meant what you do to swerve your car on a country road to avoid hitting a stupid animal.
Stealing the seal of the POTUS and replacing the motto of the United States of America with his own campaign slogan?
Wow. What grand arrogance. The man is sick in his head to give a speech in front of such a thing.
But hey, most people will think it means, Very Possum!
LOL
Idiot!
Well, the stupid (a significant number of his young supporters) may be duped into thinking that he is already president and forget to vote in November. Praying on the mentally sluggish can bite you in the arse.
Well, that is all you’ll have in your wallet when he gets finished redistributing your income.
I think his logo should read “ Eatum More Possumus” for a faux Latin phrase.
Sorry. I just posted to the last post on the thread, didn’t really mean you, personally.
It also looks like I can’t spell “We have”, either...
:) Obama is the biggest clown in history, and he just might win (Thanks Rush).
Pretty sad when the very best the other team has to offer can’t beat a noob, ain’t it?
You know, the 13 arrows the eagle carries on the POTUS seal represent the miltiary might of the United States.
WTF is Obama supposed to be representing with arrows?
He’s a frickin’ junior senator, who never even served a nano second in the military.
