Ahmadinejad hopes Obama's 'Yes We Can' winning words will work for him too as he seeks second term

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.

Its release coincides with that of another campaign video apparently attempting to trump Obama by recounting Ahmadinejad's visit to Turkey.

Smart man he knows that worked for Barack so why not. Yes we can is used all over the World. At lease you now know Iran was paying attention to the US Presidential Election.

Lets face it, the Ayatollah's still run things and the Head Ayatollah Khamenei will still be in charge.

The Gerbil was the president, but the supreme leader Cheney still ran things, along with all his Ayatollahs, Rice, Rove, Rhumsfield, etc.
