"Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas has released a new celeb-studded music video in support of Barack Obama with appearances from Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta and Nick Cannon."

This is a partial list of the people who are in the video and worked on it. Adam Rodriquez is listed TWICE, unless there are two different "Adam Rodriquez."

Does anyone have a list of credits for this video? will.i.am and Jesse Dylan did a GREAT job with this. But they didn't do it alone. I want to give credit where credit is due.

This is exactly the moment in the life of my children when they begin to feel connected - proud - inspired - hopeful!!!

Thank You, Will-I-Am, for your contribution to the evolution of humanity.

No one should read too far into the tea leaves regarding this video. It is what it is...a beautifully rendered (and quite popular) tribute to Obama's message of hope and inspiration.

What could possible be wrong with that? If you don't like it, please just watch something else.

That was powerful and moving...
(I love Scarlett.)

So was the video- really.

Looking for a resurgence of the arts along with most everything else with Obama as president!

I find everything about Obama so very superficial. All Hollywod. No substance--all style. Platitudes, Platitudes and more platitudes. Saw Dylan's son and the Wallflowers with Elvis Costello at Hillary's Birthday in a huge theatre. Never mistook the performance for the candidate. Obama never takes risks, everything he says sounds like a motivational speaker. Below is a beautiful video of Hillary speaking about something very, very important to me, how to decrease Gay Teen Suicide.

Nicely done. Inspirational. The last 7 years has been so damaging to this country, and it's nice to look forward to something besides entitlements for the wealthy. Obama may not have all the experience needed, we can only hope that he is our true REPRESENTATIVE for moving this country forward. I'll be caucusing for Obama in Colorado on Tuesday. I'll be watching the bell-weather states California and Missouri with great interest, hoping for an Obama victory.

That was incredibly beautiful. What an amazing country we have. What an astonishing bunch of folks. Change is in the air.

If one reads these comment threads closely, it's easy to see the differences between Hillary vs. Obama supporters.

Hillary supporters are mean-spirited, their motivation seems to be the "pragmatic" goal of winning, no matter what that involves, even taking a few pages from their adversaries' most despicable play-book. They tend to be "policy wonks", but ill-informed, as they tend to mindlessly repeat their own PR, no matter how misleading or outright false it may be. THeu repeat mantras of experience (never mind that an actual examination of the "experience" that can truly be attributed to their candidate is as counter-pogressive as it could possibly be) and "ready on day 1" (never mind that, in the context of their particular candidate, this implies "ready to continue being wrong, on day1"). They mercilessly attack anyone who has the gall to exercise free speech by supporting another candidate. They do not do so with reasoning, they do so with ad hominem attacks. See the threads on the Ethel and Rory Kennedy to witness the viscerally repulsive nature of the Hillaristas' soul.

Obama supporters, on the other hand, aspire to better days, to a new paradigm, utilizing new approaches. They believe in the empowerment of a nation applying itself to the realization of its ideals, in a participatory manner, with transparency. The "Yes, we can" trope is - at its very fundaments - the truth of a democracy. He CAN win, if WE really want him to, all of us. He CAN change things, if WE want him to, ALL of us.

Voting for the one whom the polls tell us "can win" or against the one whom the polls tell us "can't win", is the antithesis of the very principle of universal suffrage, of the idealism inherent in our brand of civics. It's "political calculation", it's betting on a horse race at the track, based on the track odds. It's what the Clintonistas and politicos want us to do. Let's refuse to be "managed" in this way, let's vote for our ideals and our hopes. Because we CAN!

I sent this to the Obama campaign as a suggestion that they make a video and use it as a campaign song...

Everybody Is Going To Make It This Time
{G Clinton, B Worrell}

Our mothers and our fathers
They had lives to live
Oh, and today, is proof that mistakes were made
There's not a doubt in my heart
They've done the best that they know how
And there's still time for us to make a change

We got to learn from the mistakes that were made in the past
We got to clean so that we can clean our minds
'Cause in order to get it together
We got to get our heads together
Everybody is going to make it this time (x2)

Our country and our cities, they have been betrayed for money
Ooooh, and somehow, the people, they will make a change, yeah
There's not a doubt in my mind
If hunger and anger place the blame
There won't be a country left to change

We got to see what we're doing in the name of comfort
We've got to see, we've got to feel the warning signs
But in order to get it together
We've got to get our heads together
Everybody is going to make it this time (x2)

We've got to learn from the mistakes
That were made in the past
We've got to clean so that we can use our minds
But in order to get it together
We've got to get our heads together
Everybody is going to make it this time (x2)
(Everybody, make it, yeah whoa!)
Everybody is going to make it this time (x9)
(Got to make it, this time, whoaa! Wooo, woo, woo, hey!)

Sorry, its kinda rare so there's no YouTube link.

Wow, powerful.

And I thought Leni Riefenstahl was dead.

Obama scares me, he seems so good. And now, where Mayor Richard Daley, Sr. and Congreesman L.B.J. arranged to have dead people vote for them, Obama is getting the Dead to reunite for a concert!

This is the kind of endorsement that will probably get my vote.

There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert.

Hopefully it's not too little too late! I hope people are paying attention and realize Obama is the right choice.

Yes We Can!

It would probably be better just to post one YouTube link, rather than several. This video has been uploaded many times, which causes the play count to get split up into many pieces. Here's the link with the highest playcount (and this may be the copy uploaded by the video makers themselves, judging from the account name):

THIS is what everyone is going on and on about?! Ugh. What a noisy mess. Like they say: there's no accounting for tastes.

The Last 30 Days Have Shown The Clintons True Colors " The Skull And Cross Bones"

Wont Get Fooled Again

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp6-wG5LLqE


We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Go Obama !!!
