1. First Edwards' "this is personal to me" line and now Obama's

Stop, thief!!!

[Virginia Dare]

6. I thought it was the English version of "Si se pueda"?...n/t

[HeraldSquare212]

2. Her profound addition to political sloganeering? "I'm in it to win it." nt

[susankh4]

3. It's Their Slogan....

Our "scrappy little team" can use it against the repubs all they want!

[Dogmudgeon]

4. Bob the Builder will be outraged! Outraged, I tell you!

:rofl:

--p!

5. Obama Will Have To Dredge Up Something

That wasn't used before. True originals are more difficult to hijack.

7. May I say how much I admire you Obama supporters for

the way you continue to make fools of yourselves over Hillary Clinton's use of the Si se puede! slogan?

But first a little history: back when us Boomers you despise so much were, like, all young and juicy, a man named Cesar Chavez organized the United Farm Workers "to promote fair wages, medical coverage, pension benefits and adequate living conditions for workers."

The UFW subscribed to the principles of non-violence practiced by Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Strikers took pledges of non-violence. After Chavez conducted a 25-day fast in 1968 to reaffirm the UFW's commitment to non-violence, the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy called Chavez "one of the heroic figures of our time," and flew to Delano to be with him when he ended the fast.

Sr. Chavez was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton in 1994.

This year, the United Farm Workers have endorsed Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for President, as have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cesar L. Chavez, grandson of Cesar Chavez, and UFW legend Dolores Huerta regularly campaigns with Hillary Clinton.

Thank you.

[LandOLincoln]

12. Thank you for the civil response. I'm often ashamed of

my Clinton-supporting bretheren (and sisteren) as well. :hi:

13. Heyubetcha...we Illinoisans can't help it

15. Viva Hillary! I was in San Jose with Dolores Huerta and Hillary last Friday.

9. Obama

is the one that stoled it if you knew your history anyway I don't think he has a copy write on the english language . You Obama supporters are worst the the republican right wing .

[Thrill]

11. I thought she found her voice?

I guess shes still looking for her own slogans

[candice]

14. Didn't Obama "borrow" that pithy slogan from Gov. Patrick

of Mass.?

I think I heard it during my high school football games, too, so it is probably not trademarked.

[candice]

16. His friend Patrick's was "Together we can!"

[marcellobarrios]

17. The original version is the Spanish "Si se puede"

As another member said earlier.

Neither the Obama nor the Clinton campaign own this slogan.

[Exultant Democracy]

18. long before people were saying this for political reasons either in spanish or english they still

said this. This is 3 words, 3 very common words and they get used together all the time.

19. Kick. n/t.
