will.i.am Obama Music Video – Yes We Can

3 Feb 2008 Author: Baratunde Thurston (Jack Turner)

Many of you have written to let us know about this video by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. It’s inspired by Obama’s speech after New Hampshire and has mad celebrities in it. It’s ridiculously powerful and gives me goosebumps! No one is making bomb ass videos about any other candidate.

We will not have another politician capable of inspiring such widespread emotion and belief in the possibilities of this country for a long time.

Here’s an interview with the makers of the video as well.

Absolutely amazing! It gives me chills. I love the sincerity and inspiration that this video conveys.
I’m passing this along to as many people as I can. I’ve even sent the link to my local news station and radio station.
Honestly, this should be his next commercial! Please, if anyone knows how to get this into rotation on MTV, BET, etc., try to do so.
YES WE CAN!!!!

Goosebumps? Hell, it had me in tears the first 10 times I played it. But I’m just a big softie…

Words cannot do this video justice. It sums up all the hopes of those who went before and the dreams of those are here today and the promise of a future for those who will be.
I pray Obama makes it in the White House…I really do…

I cried when I first saw it. I was so deflated that I erased my NH tapes, so I never saw Obama’s speech from NH. I had only read it. Seeing it, was so powerful. This was beautiful.

It is a great political video and should be broadcast it in it’s entirety in a national ad.
