With Obama-logo bedazzled pick in hair, ?uestlove lays it down on why he’s still down with the President.

He says it’s not a quick fix and that we’ve got to have the Prez’s back. Here’s the text of the vid in case you’re at work and can’t pop your audio:

“Ladies and gentleman, my name is Amir Questlove Thompson. When I started supporting Barack Obama in 2008 he promised to bring real change and hope to our country and community as a whole. This is not a quick fix. It’s not like you can take a wand “BING”, and just make magic overnight. He needs eight years to finish the mission and we need to have his back. If you haven’t yet–you really need to get involved. Go to http://AfricanAmericans.BarackObama.com sign up–and then follow all the action on Twitter using the hash tag: #AfAm2012. Thank you.”

If you agree, head on down to the new website that’s just for us: http://AfricanAmericans.BarackObama.com

I’m a big fan of the Roots myself — and I love that they’ve stood by positive black leaders like Van Jones and have stood up for causes like Earth Day before. Make a little black history – go on with your bad self!
