Yes we can.
Obama is saying it. I'm impressed. In Spanish, they say Si Se Puede, which would be loosely translated, yes we can. Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta came up with this slogan as they fought for the farmworkers rights in California.
Last Tuesday, Obama recalled Martin Luther King Jr. in his acceptance speech. Now he is calling on Cesar Chavez. Do you think he is just going through a list of social rights activists now? And can he pull it off?
He is a great speaker. I mean, seriously good. And I tend to think he can pull off borrowing from the great people who came before him. He is going to have to come up with something to back it up though. And more importantly, does this signal a theme in his campaign that he wants to be seen as someone who is a social rights activist? So much of this campaign is being fought around foreign policy ideas that I think it would be fun to see someone change the focus a bit.
Also, apparently I am on a theme song kick tonight, but Signed, Sealed, Delivered? Are you kidding? Couldn't someone on his campaign staff gone through an iPod to find something just a little bit more appropriate?
