Bob The Builder has filed a $34.6 trillion dollar lawsuit against the Presidential campaign of Illinois Senator Barack Obama over use of the phrase, "Yes We Can!"
"I am stunned and sickened that Obama would take the definitive phrase of my boss, an icon to wanna-be construction workers everywhere, and pass it off as his own," said long-time Bob The Builder team member "Dodger" at a hastily called press conference held on top of five pallets using a megaphone at a field being prepared for commercial development in the Far West End of Henrico County, Virginia.
Fellow "Bob's Top Team" member Packer was too distraught to discuss the issue and left the event early.
But Team member Scoop was more vocal. "What has Senator Obama built in Congress? What has he constructed successfully? Is he a foundation for any building blocks to America's future?" A reporter asked him if Bob came to him for any advice regarding filing the suit and if he (Scoop) would help him. Scoop replied, "No prob, Bob! And I better not hear anyone use THAT line! It's mine!!".
Moments after the press conference, a spokesperson for the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign emphatically denied being behind either the lawsuit itself or Scoop's comments.
When asked if he and his team are ready to take this plagiarism case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, Bob The Builder said with a smile, "What he said! That I said first....".
There was no immediate response from the Obama campaign.
Inspired sillyness!
