Obama 'Owes' Yes-We-Can Slogan To Tatar President
''Bez buldirabiz''
October 16, 2009
There was a funny scene during
Hillary Clinton's visit to the Russian republic of Tatarstan.
Tatar President Mintimer Shaimiev told Clinton that Tatarstan adopted the slogan "Bez buldirabiz " ("Yes, we can!") six years ago -- intended to promote Tatarstan as a model of political and economic development in the Russian Federation.
Clinton replied by saying that she would tell U.S. President Obama that he owes that famous slogan to the Tatars (watch the
video here).
Our
Tatar-Bashkir Service first broke the story about the "similarities" in the slogans last year.
