I hope this guy will win. Bush is a fool of the millenium and he did lot of damage to his country and us in Europe. He is not even able to put two sentences together. Monkey! Hillary says that she “has so many good plans for America”…yeah, her husband was the president and he had a chance to improve the situation in America…however, he preferred to have a ******** in his office instead to deal with real problems. Hillary is a cold *****…it is enough to see her plastic face….Maybe this black man will kick out some sick politicians asses of America….Go Obama…you look the most normal among those weird candidates.

really are we suppose to vote on a song. Alot of song and dance from obama but where are his credentials?

Where are his big shot political backers and the wall st. financial backers.
I am sorry but a bunch of celebs do not make a great president.

I’m sorry but Obama won’t win the nod, worse still it will be Clinton, but thankfully she won’t be our next president either.

Go Obama GO OBAMA!!!!!!!

I cannot believe that you seem to have no idea of the islam, but want to be intolerant against someone who just might have connections to it. Nobody in most of the world will ever forget 9/11, but those people were islamistic fundamentalist…they were fanatic and it does not say a thing about the religion itself. It`s a peaceful religion as much as any other actually and I know that even though I`m a believing protestant…but tolerance is part of my religion for me.
And for me, Obama stands for that kind of tolerance…more people should follow his steps.

hilary represents such a small percentage of the population. the percentage of overindulgence and priviledge. she is a leech that has only contributed to the economy for the last 8 yrs. before that she was a housewife who lunched.
obama is more worldly not only in his background but education. he’s multilingual (which most americans aren’t) and someone people can look up to.

Sally #47 you are the fool! You don’t even know the difference between a muslim and a terrorist! Timothy McVeigh, the Anthrax letters, the Unabomber — believe me, so-called Christians are terrorists, too. And plenty of Muslims abhor 9/11 as much as anyone here does.

Learn some history before spouting nonsense. And learn that obama was raised to be open-minded, and CHOSE Christianity. He wasn’t just born in a Christian family, but actually studied and learned all about Christianity and CHOSE it.

I agree with the person saying that Americans have a childish mentality when it comes to voting. I’m not sure who I’ll vote for yet, but I know I’m disgusted with how most Americans make their choices, and wish ignorant people like Sally weren’t allowed to vote.

There is beardy Amaury Nolasco (Prison Break) and Hill Harper from CSI NY

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 !

i live in england so to me this video has no purpose but i thought it was sweet :D

&& 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!

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.
