So why are Hillary supporters acting like Obama's committing some grave sin here? If they wanted to jump at him for "plagiarism", then they should've attacked him as soon as he uttered that ubiquitous campaign slogan since it's merely a translation of "Si, se puede!" But I guess when "Yes We Can" was first said, Hillary was not behind in delegates, states won, or votes cast.

1. No, see, because then they turned it into "Yes, She Can." That was back when it was called
"riffing," not "plagiarism."

2. This is the first thing I thought of too - Hypocrisy
But they need something on him no matter how trivial, I say let them have this moment because they aren't going to get many of them.
