Love the song. One of my favorites. FYI, I've had to research Obama songs from across the world (for work). You would not believe the number of Obama songs out there. After listening to close to 3000 from across the globe (and I'm still not done), you start to see how shockingly large this movement is. If you're into Obama songs (or just want to see how far this has spread), I linked in my "favorites" on my channel 150 Obama songs that were my favorites... Just click on my name and enjoy...
obama will bring intelligence back to the white house and restore the standing of the united states in the world...in case you didnt get the memo, the rest of the world has had no choice but to think that ya'll were a bunch of semi literate ignorant bigots with not even basic knowledge about how your star and influence has diminished in the world....remember BUSH? No? Well check McCain
C'mon Americans!!! What's all this crappy "cult of personality" going on? You completely forgot what were the sound values of the Founding Fathers that made America shone all over the world...
shes not five, shes seven, almost eight and anyhow shes a spunky girl who actually knows what shes talking about and who obama is. dont believe me, think its all parents influence: her father's a republican, hes still part of the family and she, and i still love him, but hes but shes still on the right path, even at this age
THat is what happened in the Great Depression..it lasted 10 yrs because FDR over taxed middle class and small businesses which folded due to increased taxes resulting in a longer depression..
why is this song in spanish? why not irish gaelic, german, italian, french, portugese, chinese? why only spanish? Spanish isnt the language of America, english is.
Wouldn't it be racist to vote for Obama? The song obviously has racial under tones with that Spanish thrown in there I think if you really want everyone to join maybe we should try speaking a common tounge
I think this shows how successful a community organizer Obama really is. Who can now deny him the most important job in the world? This should be enough proof for all you non-believers that Obama is the one!
Why should anyone have to read the vile, hateful comments that have been posted. If you don't like the video, don't watch it. If you don't like Obama & can be intelligent then post a comment, it will be approved. If all you can do is spew hatred it won't be posted. It actually rather simple. But the bottom line is this is a PRO-Obama video, put together by 4 amazing women and 200 Obama supporters from Santa Cruz, CA and surrounding areas. It was heartfelt and we are full of hope for a change.
Gone is independence spirit that makes a man/woman and country strong. Rugged individualism, self reliance, can do attitude, and the Golden Rule of sacrifice to help others has been replaced with I cant do it so the government needs to do it for me. We are a weaker nation for it.
Just heard the song played again on our local radio station KRXA 540AM. And I love hearing it every time. It always lifts my spirits and that's what singing is all about! There's nothing wrong with hope. And, these days we need a whole lot of it.... I Say Yes We Can!!!!!!!
You have no idea what you are talking about. I was there buddy & it was REAL! It was one of the most amazing things I have EVER taken part of! In the meantime, take your cynicism & go somewhere else!
I am so sorry that these negative posters haven't experienced the joy and unity of singing in community. I'm sure they would have the same comments at seeing people at the 1963 March on Washington singing We Shall Overcome. All major social change movements in our country have been accompanied by music. Nothin' creepy about it.
This was a great experience!! It was truly amazing that we got so many people together in such a short amount of time. People unite! We CAN make a difference!
Thanks for coming by and viewing the video. If there are important causes you think we could focus attention on, we're open to suggestions for other causes to work for. This year is an election year, so we're focused on the election right now. But we're always open to new ideas for where to focus grassroots organizing.
Let's just pretend for a minute that Hillary's argument is accurate (which it's not), and that this is a choice between her experience and "fighter-ness" or his vision and ability to inspire. What is the job we are looking at? Commander in Chief, or "Head Worker Bee"? Do we need someone who can argue until the cows come home and answer the phone, or someone who has the LEADERSHIP to organize, delegate and inspire others to follow him?
How, exactly, is he planning to disarm the entire country? And he, along with Hillary, voted for FUNDING the troops. Since Hillary's vote sent them there in the first place, would you rather they be there without weapons and equipment? You know...disarmed??
Check your facts. And as a supporter of Hillary's, which you seem to be and which I am not, shame on you. It's people like you that send others to Obama's side. We need to stick together, not tear each other down.
After watching Ariel and her singing circles for the past few years, I understand the powerful impact singing can have. It is great to see a community coming together to sing for a cause. Song as activism. There's nothing better! Get out there and find people to sing the song with. You'll love it!
It is truly amazing how Barack Obama is bringing out the creativity in people and then inspiring them to take action. I love all the chemistry! Please take a look at an original song I wrote regarding the power of words combined with leadership. I had some help in the middle with a little verse by my friend Nathan. I think it turned out pretty good in spite of not having access to a studio as this was recorded in my woodshop.
May even give a good rating please, thanks everybody
Let's hear it from everyone who is starting to feel it may be possible to do away with much of the cynicism and corruption of our current administration, and to start afresh.
Who will follow Santa Cruz's lead in creating their own community music video?
This was uplifting and inspiring and I WAS THERE!!! For those who say hope is a "vague" message let me say HOPE is what is required to get things DONE. If 200+ people can rally in a few days in a small community like Santa Cruz, what can 2,000 people do or 20,000 or 200,000.....or? So, how about some hope, everyone? Si se puede!
Thank you Barack Obama for reminding Americans of our power to create positive change when we get together, inspired by hope for the first time in years.
I'm one of the organizers of this Sing for Obama event and I want all of you to share this video with everyone you know. Go to our website and find out more about our Challenge.

I guess Obama people feel the need to remake "Coke" commercials from the 70's.
Guess what that did work then and it won't work now.
It's about addressing issues, with real answers, and standing up for what you really are.
Obama has yet to show me any of these.
He stands behind children, songs and "the other guys are wrong". Wow what a real leader he is..............geez
