Yes We Can

Barack Obama's speech after the New Hampshire Primary inspired will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas to put the speech to music. Here is a music video featuring appearences from stars like John Legend, Scarlett Johannsen, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Amber Valetta, and Nick Cannon.

I watched the video and didn't recognize anyone besides Kareem!

The speech really brought home to me how political opinions are at some level just gut reactions. Obama supporters on Daily Kos thought that was the speech of the century.

I ran into a fellow Edwards precinct captain a day or two after NH, and he asked me if I'd seen obama's speech on tv. I said no, I hadn't. He said, "He didn't say anything!" It is hard to convey to Obama supporters, but many people listen to Obama and hear platitudes.

This video, like the Caroline Kennedy ad for Obama, just doesn't do anything for me. But then again, I'm clearly not the target audience.
