"Yes We Can": the music video
Okay, eloquence isn't everything. But just imagine trying to do this ....
... with a Hillary Clinton speech, or a John McCain speech, or (shudder) a George W. Bush speech.
I'm not in the demographic the video was aimed at; Deadheads for Obama is more my speed. I probably could have recognized Black Eyed Peas as the name of a music group, but I'd never heard of will.i.am. Of the people shown — Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta and Nick Cannon — I recognized only Hancock. And I didn't even know Bob Dylan had a son.
But it's pretty damned overwhelming. Watch and see. Then send the link out to your address book. I can imagine this video as the "Lillibullero" of the Obama Revolution.
You can see the full-size video at the the original site, dipdive.com But the streaming is intermittent; I think they're getting more hits than they bargained for. Life is hard.
