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

No matter will he do something practical in America, he will sure change the cultural situation. Some people say it's obvious that it's going to be a good change. As his political program is very unclear and we don't know what he's really going to do. But I have hope that he won't fail America, and the world :)

I would like to ask Obama how it feels to know he will be assassinated. My brother has a rebel flag hangin on his rear view mirror. Have you ever heard the song by Hank Williams Jr. about if the south would of won. It says stuff like the day Elvis died would be a holiday,not mlk, I would like to be a white speaker sayin stuff against blacks saying racist at everything if they dont get something,then if i was assassinated see if I got a holiday. I bet i wouldnt cuz im not black. its only true.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we set. We got to have a CIVILIAN NATIONAL SECURITY FORCE thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded"~ Barack Obama....Hitlers SS?

He is not a Muslim nor was he ever one.Besides even if he was, what difference does it make? America was built on the principal of religious freedom, why should one's faith make a difference in leadership?

Nobama, but since he's our president I hope he makes the economy better.
