12. Funny but Obama ripped off "Si se puede."
There's nothing new in politics.


Note: I'm fractionally leaning Obama.

49. It was a very intential rip-off used in his Senate campaign too.
Obama comes from the same background of community organizing and movement politics as Chavez. Its the approach Hillary rejected when she declined a job offer from Saul Alinksy out of college.

20. It's called "Follow the Leader."
Even Romney's signs at events look exactly like Obama's "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN" signs lately. :-)

28. Check it out...all the Dems believe in basically the same thing.
So how come Clinton is copping Obama. Hillary has been working for there things when Obama was a nice enough young man.

14. Hillary's bringing universal healthcare since 1992...
or was it 1892. Imagine Obama in 2025 saying he's still working on universal healthcare. She delivered a war but no healthcare..but she's passionate about it...still working on it...'working hard' where have I heard that hmmm..

7. I like we because it takes the American people behind a leader
to do the job. Americans have to demand change not one person president or not....Bill Clinton wanted health care changes but couldn't do it because the American people didn't threaten to vote out anyone who got in the way.

13. actually it points to all that's wrong with her campaign
right down to the lack of creativity by her supporters here. It's a me centered campaign that doesn't understand the importance of getting the American people behind you.

I'm glad you posted this.

18. It's all about her
me me me me me.

She can't do anything all by herself. It's a group effort and she needs to recognize that the other two branches of the government play a big part in this.

"We" matter.

24. "Yes we can" implies that we are all in this together
And together, we can accomplish great things. Hillary's campaign is all about HER. Obama's campaign is about US.

45. Yes We Can reminds me of Jesse Jackson's 1984 chant: "We All Come Up Together"
That was Jesse Jackson's powerful slogan in 1984. It was all about the common people. I think you're right. "Yes She Can" is all about the cult of personality and the people who want Hillary to win so she can be the first female President and who, after falling in love, then try to find some other justification for why she should be picked.

29. except she is not using this
she is trying to use Obamas Yes We Can

Because her message Ready on Day One, just doesn't have much appeal

saw it on cspan last night, and the twenty something people in the audience were not saying anything, they looked like they were watching mom pitch a screeching fit

Hillary is all about Hillary

Obama is about all of us

30. That's what's fundamentally wrong about Clinton's campaign actually
...it's all about her.

I don't think you should push the narcissistic meme to much further. It doesn't help her cause.

33. no she won't
So we should just vote for her and and she alone will get it all done? Why don't we try and change politics and usual and get everyone involved? Barack can do that, and Hillary can't. I think there are just too many people on both sides of the aisle that hate her, to be honest.

36. Wow. I thought the government was suppose to be "of the people". I guess we are supposed to believe
we need a dictatorship. The "we" is actually very important. The Clinton campaign should definitely understand. They have argued for years on the importance of the word, "is."

The entire point of the "yes we can" statement is the WE.

47. It really shows an ideological difference.
That's what the LBJ/MLK debate was about. Hillary thinks change comes from strong establishment leaders that mandate change from the top. Obama thinks change comes from the people.

We've already seen what kind of results the pandering, centrist Clinton approach gets us. Why would anyone fall for it a second time?
