Shas premiered a new jingle for its Internet campaign on Thursday that features a duet of party chairman Eli Yishai and US President-elect Barack Obama.

In Shas's version of the song, Eli Yishai's voice is played saying the words Judaism and education in Hebrew, alternating with Obama uttering his slogan "Yes we can," which Shas copied for its campaign.

Shas spokesman Roy Lachmanovich said the jingle would most likely be used only for online ads and not for its television and radio commercials. He said Sephardim in Israel had much in common with African-Americans like Obama and Murphy.

"We identify with the fact that Obama gave an opportunity for a different America to its minorities, just like Eli Yishai is helping the disenfranchised in Israel," Lachmanovich said.

2. I just couldn't pass it up, Sir.

Not after the Magic Negro business. I fear it's going to be a long 8 years for President Obama.
