 SAMMY DEVIL JR.
The Candy Man Was a SatanistIf nobody else is willing to say this out loud, I'll step up to the plate. Barack Obama is totally ripping off Sammy Davis Jr. I'm willing to overlook their general similarities (cross-racial appeal, Amazon brides, chain smoking), but the senator's appropriation of Sammy's mantra is what really gets my goat. What's worse, this alleged master orator is actually guilty of motto misquoting.
Quite frankly, Obama's "Yes, We Can" is a hackish catchphrase that invokes the empty sloganeering of the old politics he decries...
