OK, its not as serious as all that, however, I just wanted to use this blog to give due praise for this years biggest slogan.
Obama has made the line "Yes we can!" a worldwide phenomina. You even have Japanese kids running around yelling "Obama! Yes we can!"
Of course, the first person to make the line "Yes we can!" is of somewhat shorter stature, a paler complexion, a shorter name, and an idyllic life. I am, or course, referring to that paeon of modern society, the great author...
Now, I for one really have no problem with Obama using the line. It is catchy (I STILL remember the bloody pop song!) and easy to chant. I remember the days back with the Manchester Storm, where the Bob song would have all the little kids squeaking "yes we can!" along with the song.
Obama has managed to give new hope to the world and the slogan catches all of Obama`s optimism in one convenient bundle. Unfortunately, there are those who chose to use this link to attack Obama.

OK, a right wing group attack Obama. Its politics, this happens. There where plenty of left wing groups having a pop at McCain. Its part of the territory. However, its a shame that they drag poor Bob in. Giving him words when he is an innocent kids cartoon character, with no ability to practise the right of reply!
So, there you have it. The most popular phrase in the world has allready done the rounds as a catchy pop song from a British cartoon character. I suppose its a bit of an honour that Obama "chose" to use Bobs line, rather than come up with his own.
Still, If it aint broke...
