Ah yes, Islamists and Leftists. Like two peas in a pot. Ahmadinejad is now using a Farsi phrase “We Can” eerily similar to Obama’s famous catch phrase.
Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hopes US leader’s winning words will work for him too as he seeks second term.
Barack Obama’s offer of a hand of friendship to Iran after 30 years of hostility may have met with a sceptical public response from Tehran. But now a rapprochement of sorts may be under way amid evidence that the US president’s can-do electioneering tactics have struck a chord with his Iranian counterpart, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Obama’s signature campaign slogan, Yes We Can, has been replicated by the Iranian president in a promotional video issued for Iran’s presidential poll on 12 June, when Ahmadinejad is seeking re-election.
The video features a cover picture of Ahmadinejad wearing his trademark white jacket and pointing to the Farsi phrase Ma Mitavanim (We Can) on a blackboard. The film is aimed at students and capitalises on his former status as a university lecturer.
I guess this is nothing new. Leftists and Islamists have shared similar Anti-American for years.
