Chapina, everyone over the age of 20 knows that Yes We Can was from Cesar Chavez. If you paid attention, the Obama campaign made that abundantly clear, it was a hat tip.

The facts, that you're clearly refusing to see is that Obama did start that for this particular election cycle. That's become his mantra for this election cycle. Clinton, once again, is biting his style.

As for the rest of your statement, I'm going to go out on this 2" limb and say that you couldn't post a ton of speeches of other politicians and prove your point. A learned person will know when Obama's speeches pay homage to someone. It's blatantly obvious. He telegraphs it before saying so people can say it along with him. It's called Giving. A. Speech. I'm sorry, I've been a speechwriter, so I used a lot of other speeches and literary references to get my point across. That's what speech writers do.

But he was the one who applied “Yes We Can” to the various campaigns. Hillary Clinton also copyed John Edwards comment on illegal immigration and Blockbuster without giving him credit. I have the video I will show it to you guys. The woman is laughable.

Get the facts striaght!
Actually, Obama plagiarized the phrase, “Yes We Can” from the farmers union. The phrase “Yes We Can”, is their motto song that praises Cesar Chavez. Furthermore, if you compare many of Obama’s speeches to other politicians they are one in the same.

Don’t forget that her speech on Tuesday night, she spoke of a waitress giving her $10 and something a Repubican said to her.

Both of those stories mimick the same stories Obama gave in South Carolina. So, they don’t have a leg.
