Obama, Inspired by Bob..

Bob The Builder.

Bob the Builder

'Can we fix it? Yes we can!
Working together to get the job done.'

Who knew? Everytime I heard Obama's audience Yell, "Yes we can!" I always kind of chuckled and wondered why.

Then I remembered the hours I spent with my three year old grandson watching many Bob the Builder videos and that 'Yes We Can' connected with me.

Now I know where Obama gets his inspiration and why the appeal with young voters.

It's working. Congrats to Obama on his wins.

I might recommend to Hillary that she explores with Dora for future inspiration. LOL!

  •  Not at all. I made the Bob connection this

    morning and it seemed fitting.
    I'm one of those 70% people that will vote either way. Have been since the beginning.
    I voted for Hillary in NH and apparently those days are in the pass.  Lighten up :-)

    •  There's something really fun and innocent in this

      I can easily see the lightbulb over his head while he's watching Bob the Builder with his little ones.

      Can we fix it?

      Yes we can!

      It's a beautiful thing.  Even if Obama never heard of Bob!  I love it.

•  Tip from an Obama supporter.

  Also, I was in the grocery store the other day and a mother with a young child (4 years old?) was standing at one of the shelves.  Apparantly the daughter wanted something off the list.  The mother said, "We can't get that this week."  The kid said, "Yes we can!"  I laughed out loud and asked the mother if she had a mini-Obama fan.  Lucky for me, the mother got it and laughed.

  Cheers for working together in the long run, roseeriter.

  •  I am a people person

    and want a Dem in the white house or fear we are doomed. I'd prefer Hillary but unity is unity.

•  Dora for Hillary?

  Good call!

  We can all yell "Swiper, no swiping!" when we catch her trying to seat the Michigan delegates.

    My grandson has a Dora doll and many books and the monkey memory is cute.

  I have been thinking about this for a while but didn't think it would be safe to actually post about.  Wow.
