Barack Obama: vero possumus

21:24 Fri 20 June 2008; 171 | by Ryan | in uncategorized

I saw an interesting photo with this story about Barack Obama’s plans to compaign with Hillary Clinton.

In the picture Obama, stand at a podium addressing democratic governors.

There is a logo on the podium that imitates the seal of the president.

On the imitation seal it says:

Obama for America
vero possumus

I wondered what the — I assume Latin — motto meant.

vero means “in truth”

and

possumus means “we can”

So, it roughly means “It’s true. We can.” or Obama’s more common English slogan “Yes. We can.”
