When I first heard this "Vero Possumus" term on the radio today- I thought Obama was taking a page out of old Herbert Hoovers "a chicken in every pot" book- And with King George driving the country broke faster than Hoover did - was only going to promise us roadkill in every pot when he becomes President.... :wink:

Obama gets a new Latin slogan: “Vero Possumus”
CHICAGO - Barack Obama’s presidential campaign rolled out a new slogan on Friday: “Vero Possumus.”
The Latin phrase roughly translates to his main campaign mantra, “Yes, we can.”
The words made their debut on a seal on the Democratic White House hopeful’s podium as he met with governors from his party in Chicago. The seal resembled the official presidential seal, complete with a picture of the American eagle with “Vero Possumus” inscribed above it.
It helped complete a presidential-looking setting for Obama’s meeting with the governors. In addition to the seal were a row of American flags lined up behind Obama and long blue curtains that also adorned the backdrop of the roundtable meeting.
