Yes We Can - Barack Obama Music Video
Congratulations, Mr. President.-Lyrics-It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.Yes we can.It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.Yes we can.It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.Yes we can.It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.Yes we can to justice and equality.Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.Yes we can heal this nation.Yes we can repair this world.Yes we can.We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --Yes. We. Can.Guest appearances -will.i.am - 0:01Scarlett Johansson - 0:05Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - 0:21Common - 0:23John Legend - 0:32Bryan Greenberg (guitar) - 0:37Kate Walsh - 0:44Tatyana Ali - 0:44Harold Perrineau, Jr. - 0:49Aisha Tyler - 1:01Samuel Page - 1:03Enrique Murciano - 1:07 "Si, podemos" - 1:17Maya Rubin - 1:08 "כן אנו יכולים (Qen Annu Yecholim)" (Hebrew)Esthero - 1:10Eric Balfour - 1:23Nicole Scherzinger - 1:30Taryn Manning - 1:40Amber Valletta - 1:52Auden McCaw (in Valetta's arms) - 1:52Kelly Hu - 1:52Adam Rodríguez - 1:56 "Sí se puede"Eric Christian Olsen - 2:02Sarah Wright - 2:02Shoshannah Stern (American Sign Language) - 2:05Ed Kowalczyk (guitar) - 2:19Fonzworth Bentley (violin) - 2:38Amaury Nolasco - 3:24Hill Harper - 3:27Nick Cannon - 3:36Herbie Hancock (piano) - 3:41Johnathon Schaech - 3:45Austin Nichols - 3:50Tracee Ellis Ross - 4:00Fred Goldring (guitar) - 4:03Anson MountAlfonso RibeiroCliff CollinsVera Farmiga

you are all foolish sheep. this country will not change until people like you all start opening your eyes to truth. Corporate America elected obama...not any of you. Through marketing and liberal media....and a few brainless speeches about "hope" and "change" and "yes we can"(key marketing words and phrases), you have all been fooled to believe in a false hope. Wake up people...politicians of all "color" and political party are corrupt. Prepair to be let down.

On the other hand, it's pretty much a given that more or less all demographics voted a majority for Obama.'Cause he won.

I've voted with the religious right but now I see how racist they are. How about those Tom Delay / Abramoff forced abortions in Saipan. You notice it's okay for rel. right white people to dehumanize everyone and it's okay.Ralph Reed who was indicted was on listener supported radio talking down on Obama. You white frigin christians hate Obama and all black people. The republican party is the forced abortion in Saipan party. White injustice is okay with the religious right. They hate everybody !

i think Obama will be a great president because he'll be fighting for the right things by all Americans.

tbh, im glad Obama won. if mccain won then it'll be george all over again. yes he's black, yes he has hussein as a middle name but what does that make him? i different person? it'll wouldn't change who HE is if his name/skin color is unusual.
