Anthony Albanese has channelled Barack Obama by using the former US President's famous slogan 'yes we can' at a press conference on Monday. 

Mr Obama first used the slogan in 2004 when he ran for the US Senate in Illinois and the phrase became a rallying cry during his winning 2008 presidential campaign.

The three-word slogan was used to inspire voters by convincing them it was possible to bring about positive change.

Mr Albanese turned to the phrase at a press conference in Newcastle, NSW on Monday where he spruiked his policy to provide 465,000 free TAFE places and 20,000 extra university places.
