Eric Christian Olsen appears in the video as well. He’s a great actor in comedies.
Hill Harper (Sheldon Hawkes from CSI:NY) was also there at 3:29. And I’m quite positive Adam Levine from Maroon 5 was playing the guitar (first seen 0:35). Tamara Taylor (Camille Saroyan in Bones) can be seen occasionally, starting from 1:00. And a previous poster was right, the woman with the child is supermodel Amber Valletta with her son Auden.
Even though I’m not from the US, my sympathy lies with Obama as well. I just don’t think it’s right that one family can be in charge of a country this big and powerful as it has been with George Bush and George W. Bush and would be with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Having lived at the White House doesn’t make Hillary a good candidate.
omg these people need to shut the F up. They couldn’t come up with FACTUAL reasons (not the whole “oh my gosh, we like, need CHANGE!”) for why they’re voting for Obama… cause OBAMA can’t even tell us what the hell he would do if he became president!!!
We don’t have time for idealistic dreams and blind hope. Just f-ing get Hillary in the White House before this country is finally destroyed.
ridiculous video for european point of view. I dont imagine a song about that in others countries… its america ^^
I dont have seen Alfonso Ribeiro !
Aww (:
i live in england so to me this video has no purpose but i thought it was sweet
&& Vivica A Fox was in it aswell
x
taryn manning,and fonzwerth bentley are both in there,i didnt see alfonzo rebareou though.
Obama is pretty amazing….for the first time ever he is the only candidate to get this this conservative/republican chick to vote for a democrat.
Good luck today - Super Tuesday- to Barack Obama and to this great counrty in getting a leader we can truly believe in.
Go and vote - it matters!
YES WE CAN! Go Obama. Get out and vote! I voted early and voted for him. This is the first time in a long time I feel inspired.
I hope you sheeple aren’t sucked into the “hopeful”, “inspirational” and “yes-we-can” messages of Obama. We all know we need change in this nation.
Have you heard exactly what he plans on doing for this country?
Oh but he’s so charismatic.
Yes, but did he outline his platform specifically?
No, but he’s so charming!
Yes, but did he say exactly what changes he should begin working on if elected president?
No, but he has celebrities singing his praises.
Yes, but is he willing to stick his neck out and keep a campaign promise?
No, but the kids like him.
Sheeple of this nation, please, I beg of you, know your candidates! Don’t get caught up in the hype of glamour, glitz, and pretty people. You’re not pretty, you’re not rich, you have no notoriety, heck, you don’t even know all of your neighbors! Pay attention to how the media emphasizes one candidate over another. USE YOUR BRAINS AND MAKE INTELLIGENT DECISIONS!
I don’t care who you vote for but you better back it up! Don’t get disgusted if you see those bumper stickers that say “Don’t blame me, I voted for _____!” Don’t live in regret because your candidate didn’t follow through with everything he promised you in the beginning. Hold them accountable! If you like this country and all the inalienable rights you were given, it is YOUR DUTY to uphold them for future generations. Yeah, you may not like their opinions, beliefs, and ideas but because of this country, you can both spout off and not get arrested.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not depend on just one single news source. They’re all influenced! The only way to get “fair and balanced” news is by reading what they ALL have to say. Can’t read all of them? Find bloggers who report the news because they have a passion for reporting all of the information - not just what pertains to them. Talk to other people. Don’t get sucked in but instead know their viewpoints and counterpoint theirs. That’s fair and balanced.
If you are still reading this much, congratulations, you have broken out of the fold of sheeple. You obviously desire truth, justice, and fairness for all. Insist upon knowing all the facts. Be your own mind! Quit following the herd and walk upright. Now help others think for themselves!
i couldn’t care less what celebrities think about politics, and neither should you…THINK FOR YOURSELF!!!
Thanks Jared! Love Kate Walsh!
bleh!
Obama + Change =
Uncertainty of Change
Chaos of Change
Why? Because he does not have any concrete platform. His orations are just that, orations. They are vague, and have no substance at all! You should LISTEN to him well, and not just HEAR him.
JFK factor? What legacy did JFK leave America other than his orations? The failed and highly divisive Vietnam War? The failed invasion of the Bay of Pigs? Marilyn Monroe?
Ted Kennedy? Alcoholic? Drugs? The Chappaquiddick Bridge scandal?
C’mon, America! You let yourselves be hoodwinked by Dubya and now Obama? Wake up!
That’s some sappy stuff there.
Here’s the real questions…if this “youth” vote doesn’t get what they want, Obama as the Presidential nominee, will they still vote in the General Election?
Or will they, like spoiled brats, stay home with their iPods and laptops because Hillary is not the candidate they wanted.
This is NOT about one man, this is about the Democratic Party and getting the country out of the hands of the current criminal/administration.
Stop loving the MAN and start loving your COUNTRY.

Sorry, I don’t know why that posted twice. I didn’t do it on purpose.
If Jared can remove one, #74 & #75, that would be great!
I hate double posts.
YES! WE CAN AND WE WILL !!
Loves it!! Very inspiring.
I always like it when artists follow their passion. It is so good to seeing young artists doing things other than shopping and posing for photo-ops. Even in areas I disagree with it is better than them just sitting back complaining or partying.
i don’t like it! it’s to much!
Go Obama! Great video.
–read my blog at http://fashionpoirot.blogspot.com
Johnson Rod , yes I read about all candidates - if you are interested go to each candidates page. See what they each say for themselves then also read the counterpoints.
One thing that is really important to me is that I can not take another year of President/Congress not accomplishing much but bickering with each other
yay Kate Walsh!!
I love her! Go Kate, Go Obama!!!
choose good,americans!!!please,not another bush!!not another murderer!!…from spain…good luck!!!
It’s a sign of our times, knocking off classics.
What a pity.
Obama hasn’t earned the right to put himself in the light of someone like King. He pales in comarison.
What dismays me the most is that so many sheep and cattle are willing to follow someone who has yet to spell out how he’ll go about making change. I’m not talking about the broad strokes. I want details.
He hasn’t inspired. All that Obama has done is state the obvious. I didn’t need him to give me hope. I already had that. I want someone who’s going to put hope into action, to detail out how it’s going to be put into action.
This whole “I have a dream” approach is going to quickly become a nightmare. Mark it. You’ll see.
Then, the running theme is going to be “I told you so…, again” (ala Bush).
Sarah Wright/Mason is in it too, she’s standing next to Eric Christian Olsen.
he’s a very inspirational orator, and this country can definitely a president who can actually speak. but, isn’t this kind of sentimentality a little premature? at this point in election, voters should remain congnisant of their choice instead of singing pretty songs that only have effect on those who don’t know or dare to ask the hard questions.
very nice. but i wish famous people would stress more about just getting people out there to vote instead of pushing canaidates on people……just saying
WHO IS THE GUY AT 01:03????
urgh. i cant even be bothered to explain all the things wrong.
