Song & video, featuring a star cast, by will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas. Inspired by Barack Obama's 'Yes We Can' speech.
http://www.yeswecansong.com
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.
Celebrities featured include: Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta and Nick Cannon

Even If im Not In US I'de vote Barack Obama, I think he would make a good change, because what he said what really cool. To All People:
YES WE CAN! YES WEE CAN!
Sir Obama will make a great change for the best!!!!
I love it. I am a supporter of Mr. Obama. I believe that He will try to change the current political system. I think He CAN do it if he has the right people around him, and stays grounded. I understand, and I pray that others understand, that he, at the end of the day, is still human. This means that he does and will continue to make mistakes. Lastly, I would like to encourage everyone to vote in Nov. no matter who you vote for, but my vote will be going to Obama!
I am sadden and ashamed of some of these posted comments. A lot of people are downing each other about their political beliefs and I say isn't that what we are trying to get away from? Republican, Democrat, Independent, whatever you are, respectfully disagree with one another. We can do better than this. How can we ever hope to be ONE Nation if we cannot even start with the simple gesture of respect.
is this on itunes, by any chance?
and if not, is there a way to get it on to itunes?
i'd love to put it on my ipod...
Great song. Shame American politics is surrounded by puppets!!!
And as usual, you like him now. Just wait until you find out what he got up to in his youth, or does behind closed doors, and as you usually do, you will out him. And lets face it, it will be the same autocratic war mongers who run your country behind the face you like. By the way 'funny day today' it's spelt IRAQ. Not sure where they are deploying your son? irak?

A fact of what? I can also find a lot of political crap to regurgitate; doesn't mean it's a fact that this is turning into a communist country. Maybe you should continue to take your medication for the paranoia. Tell me, are you a member of the Klan too? Are the dust bunnies under your bed plotting on you? And, again, what has any of this have to do with Obama? After all this, you still haven't answered that question. I'm bored now; conversation over.
