You do?!!!!!

Well, then, Hillary's the ticket!

Why, look at what she did with a mere slogan, taking the mundane and meaningless rhetoric of "Yes, we can!" (*snort* *wink-wink*),

without attribution to its author, and magically transforming it into an inspired, completely original and more person political creed of...

"Yes, we will."


INSPIRED, I tells ya.

One can only look at her in awe.
Such incredible gall.
What she can't buy, she steals.

1. That was the worst... her changing that slogan and trying to make it hers.
Someone on here said her speech was... um... remarkably similar to... a speech Obama made a few weeks ago. Know anything about that?

4. No! Hillary, plagiarize?? But, but...this is very "personal" to her, ya know? Change,
and all that.

She might as well soak all her speeches in the kitchen sink and just get up and say, "Yeah. Whut he said.":hi:

3. Bingo. She's a political magpie - stealing bits and pieces from other nests and
bringing it back to feather her own.

18. No, not without explicit permission, which he had. And which Hillary did not.

5. It's too amusing. Like watching the Clintons complain that Obama
is throwing the kitchen sink at them now :rofl:

What a disgrace she is to women.

6. Let's be fair. She's not a disgrace to all women, Cat - only to ethical ones.

13. Deval ASKED Barack to use that theme. Do you think Barack asked Hillary to steal his "change" theme
and his motto, too?

14. It really isn't anything to get bitter about.
And I am sure that it was more Axelrod's idea anyway.

16. She can't buy any more words if she can't even afford to buy a vowel.
Where's Vanna White when you need her?
