As a chant, that sucks. Is it supposed to rhyme?

And isn't the chant du jour "Si, se peuede!" which is supposed to mean "Yes, we can!" the wrong declination of the verb poder? I only took 4 years of Spanish but I thought it should be "Si, nos podemos." I can only assume that they're all illiterate in Spanish as well as English.

I'm guessing the chant was a construct of their Marxist handlers, A.N.S.W.E.R.

I would translate "Si, se puede" as "Yes, it is possible" or "Yes, it can be done."
