More Evidence That Obama Is Running A Deval Patrick Campaign 

Of course when I say a “Deval Patrick Campaign”, I mean a campaign about absolutely nothing. Here is the latest evidence via Ann Althouse:

The highlight of his speech last night — which got the crowd chanting the refrain. Video. Text:

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we’ve been told that we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.

Yes we can.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom through the darkest of nights.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can.

And so tomorrow, as we take this campaign South and West; as we learn that the struggles of the textile worker in Spartanburg are not so different than the plight of the dishwasher in Las Vegas; that the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in America’s story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea –
Yes. We. Can.

Message to the Rest of America: If you vote for Obama, “Together We Can” have a president that has no ideas and accomplishes absolutely nothing except buying $12,000 drapes just like we have here in Massachusetts with Deval Patrick.

YES WE CAN!

All sizzle, no steak. Last time I heard “Yes we can” so many times in a single dialogue, it was an advertisement for Bob’s Discount Furniture Stores.
