VOTE BARACK '08. YES WE CAN! Check out: www.youbama.com According to will.i.am, founding member and frontman of Black Eyed Peas, the "Yes We Can Song" was inspired by Senator Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and especially the speech Obama gave following the New Hampshire primary. He states, "It made me reflect on the freedoms I have, going to school where I went to school, and the people that came before Obama like Martin Luther King, presidents like Abraham Lincoln that paved the way for me. . . ." Dylan says, "The speech was inspiring about making change in America and I believe what it says and I hope everybody votes." The music video includes excerpts from Obama's speech and appearances from several celebrities: Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta, and Nick Cannon. "I'm blown away by how many people wanted to come and be a part of it in a short amount of time. It was all out of love and hope for change and really representing America and looking at the world," will.i.am said.

Sep 4, 2008 - WHAT PALIN DID GOOD: -She insulated herself with future (or probable) media scrutiny"They are out there to get me;they are liberals!" -She energized the base. SHORT COMINGS: -She was preaching to the already converted:Readness to be a heartbeat way from the presidency unanswered. -Her speech was a series of recycled HRC speeches:"When the lights are off,the crowd are gone..." -The international news:"She was disagreeable while disagreeing!"

Sep 4, 2008 - gorgeous. and since when aren't celebrities allowed to be political? this is a different time. they voice their opinions and show their support. you do it, why can't they? just because they have status? that's ridiculous. they're people too who still live in this country and have the right to have a say and support a candidate, whoever that candidate may be. and hollywood is a liberal society. it's just the truth.

Sep 5, 2008 - Good thing Lincoln wasn't like Obama. When the South took Fort Sumter, an Obama-like Lincoln would have said, "Keep the Fort, your slaves and any states you like."
jlehms04 Says:
Sep 5, 2008 - Obama makes me proud to be an American. He gives a voice to those of us who have been crying out for sanity these past 8 years. Everyone heard us, but no one had the guts to do anything about it until Obama. Obama is courage, hope, change, and exactly what this country needs. OBAMA 08, or God help this country.
Biielefelder Says:
Sep 5, 2008 - I think its the right way for america, before I saw that vid I was of the opinion that every american is a conservative dull freak like Bush. Even in Germany everyone wants to support America and Obama. Obama for President... greats from germany

TheHumanFetus Says:
Sep 5, 2008 - Great message and everything in this song, but I've lost all respect for Will I Am. He made a mistake letting Fergie join and that ruined it to start it off. I don't respect people who sing about their mama and dumb shit like Will. The guy used to be an ill MC and the BEP's used to be a great hip hop group. This video's kind of unnecessary, but it's all good, great message and stuff. Will shouldn't be heading this video other than the fact of his voice, a guy like Common should or someone..

Europeanpreacher Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - Giuliani, with all the advantages in the world, ran one of the worst campaigns in recent memory. He should be studying Obama, not mocking him.
katzmeow4 Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - Enough is enough! There are arguments back and forth about who's better. Personally, I'm an Obama supporter, but seriously! Can't we all just get along? Things will get worse than they already are if everyone keeps up their squabbling! Break it up, people! This isn't worth fighting over!
