"Yes We Can" Barack Obama Video

I have not decided about who I want to vote for president. I think it's still too early to make a firm decision (for me). I am posting about Obama because of something I thought was interesting.

There is a new music video that everyone is crazy about by will.i.am call "Yes We Can". It features a gaggle of celebrities, but I don't know who 75% of them are. The song is okay and is made after the "Yes We Can" speech Obama did in New Hampshire. I posted the video at the bottom of this post along with video of the actual "Yes We Can" speech below it.

I like music and I like John Legend (who is featured in the video), but I thought the all the different people flashing on screen was really confusing. I guess I can't handle a lot of things at once. I had to re-watch...rather, re-listen to it so I could hear the message of the song. I think the makers of the video see Obama as the Martin Luther King, Jr. of our time, which is cool. I thought it was neat how the song was arranged using Obama's own voice along with the singers' voices.

The message is cool...it is time for a change.
