Click to play videoNew Delhi: Rocky Balboa seems to be the flavour of the season in the US.
Clinton has made the theme song from the 1976 film Rocky, which was set in Philadelphia, a part of the soundtrack of her Pennsylvania primary campaign.
When she appeared before the same Pennsylvania AFL-CIO state convention a day earlier, she invoked the fictional working-class boxing hero to explain her determination to continue her campaign, declaring that, like Rocky, “I never quit.”
Barack Obama mocked rival Hillary Clinton this morning for comparing herself to the film character Rocky Balboa as he offered Pennsylvania labor leaders a speech laden with red-meat economic populism.
"I love Rocky (Balboa), we love Rocky and last time I checked, I was the underdog in this state. So, you know I like the Rocky story but you gotta remember Rocky was a film. And so is the idea that someone can work for working people and at the same time embrace the broken system in Washington, where corporate lobbyists can use their clout to shape laws to their liking. We need to challenge the system, on behalf of Americas' workers,” said Obama.
