Obama's oratory, put to music
MINNEAPOLIS -- Of all the songs, poems, web videos, even ringtones that Barack Obama fans have created in his honor, this new video produced by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas stands apart. Obama himself today gave it high marks. It's packed with celebs, including John Legend and Scarlett Johansson.



INCCREDIBLE!!!
This is the most inspiring piece of art ever created for a political campaign. It is really worthy of the Barack Obama phenomenon.
Great video!
Obama '08
Powerful... simply phenomenal... Go OBAMA go!!!!
Barack Obama burst onto the national political scene with a memorable speech at the 2004 Democratic convention. Anybody that watched this speech realized Barack Obama is a very gifted young man and talented orator. Obama is a Christian ( contrary to the small minds attempting to arouse suspicion) from a bi- racial family. His mother is white his father was black. His dad left when he was very young.
We all realize that it takes more than being an intelligent person that is able to inspire people through the spoken word to be an effective President. , So why is it time to elect Barack Obama ?
Barack Obama will unify our country and be a very effective agent for change. He has the ability to garner support from all factions of the American political process. Our country is in the midst of a very critical period. The last thing we need is more political deadlock based on partisan politics. I respect Hillary Clinton as a great American that has accomplished much in her life. The fact is that Hillary Clinton is despised by many Americans and crucified on daily talk shows across this country. They love to point out her personal and political baggage. It is feared that many, formerly apathetic, Republican, utra-right wing , voters will be motivated to counter her bid. Very frequently, Barack Obama is receiving meaningful endorsements and gleaning support from Republican and Democratic leaders alike.
Many people bring up the " experience" question. They believe that Barack Obama will be President one day but lacks the experience at this time. This is a fallacy. The President of the United States has access to the best minds in the country; experts in every field possible are available .It is obvious that, with all their experience, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden, didn`t fare well in early primaries. They were the most experienced candidates on the stage. The President needs to be able to absorb all the information that he can and make decisions. Judgment is a much more critical attribute. Barack Obama illustrated his judgment when he opposed the war in Iraq. He is not anti -war, he is "anti-dumb war " . Iraq has cost thousands of lives and billions of dollars. We have accomplished nothing and we are struggling and consuming more American assets just to reach a pre war level of peace.
Barack Obama graduated from Columbia University, where he majored in political science and specialized in international relations. He then attended Harvard Law School where he was elected President of Harvard Law Review. He graduated Barack Obama will respect the Constitution of the United States. He will not ignore it when it seems convenient.
The current administration has cost our country valuable credibility with allies and non-allies around the world. Credibility is the key to our National Security. We need the trust, respect and cooperation, of other nations in order to prevail against the radical Jihadists
Mr. Obama is a true leader, a man who inspires Americans to have confidence again and to look forward towards a better tomorrow. You won't see people writing songs about Hillary Clinton or Mitt Romney.
I've had this video playing in between calls as I work the phone bank for Obama's campaign today. It keeps me in good spirits and ploying ahead against wrong numbers, answering machines, and foul tempers.
There is nothing false about hope!
