Yes We Can

February 3rd, 2008Kawthar (Sudan)

Inspired by Barack Obama’s “Yes We Can” victory speech, will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas teamed up with numerous celebrities to create this video.

While I have my qualms with celebrities using their fame to influence voters, I found this video moving and thought other MEY readers would enjoy it.

    Wonderful… I really hope he wins. It would be a delightful change to have someone intellegent and real as President of America.

    This is an amazing speech. I have much hope in Obama.

    If he doesn’t win, that would be an “oh, bummer.” Haha.

    Well, he would be the best choice:
    otherwise, you’d have a corporate robot (Romney) another extreme insider political hack (Hilary) or just plain old and scary (McCain)
    Just hope he doesn’t get killed….
