President Barack Obama adopted the English version "Yes, we can!" first during the 2004 Illinois Democratic primary race for U.S. Senate, and it became a slogan of his 2008 presidential campaign. "Yes, we can!" was the theme of Senator Obama's speech following his second-place finish in the 2008 New Hampshire primary. The phrase was also used in the song "Yes We Can", which was performed by numerous celebrities in support of Obama. (Huerta endorsed Hillary Clinton in her campaign for the Democratic nomination for presidency in 2007).
