Perhaps, just perhaps, the American people will now begin to see that it doesnt matter who is in power, their hands are tied. The President of the United States is now little more than a puppet of corporate power. Corporations rule the word and they rule America. Their sole concern is profit and not at all the happiness and wellbeing of the people. Obviously so, since thats the nature of capitalism. Democracy is a myth created and perpetuated by a media also serving big business.
There's a lot of truth in this old saying. And it doesn't even make people happy, as evidenced by the suicide and depression among those who win millions on lotteries. Money isn't really what people really want, only what they think they want. Some waste their entire lives chasing after money - no time for family, friends, anything else - then when they're old and obscenely rich they'd swap it all to be young again. Of course, extreme poverty isn't conducive to happiness, I'm not saying that.
We really need health care reform. I have been a diabetic for nearly 20 years. I have never been able to get health insurance on my own, because they say I have a preexisting condition.
Congrats to Barack Obama and all of the voters for making him our nations 44th president.
As President Elect, Obama is already making a difference! By showing us he is ready to commit whole heartedly the large task at hand he faces in 2009 for our country, and the world.
A Bi-Partisan effort bring our country together in unity, with sincerity, and love for all citizens.
I'm not sure whether Nelson Mandela, Mohandas Ghandhi, Dostoyevsky, Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Elizabeth Fry, Sigmund Freud, Emmeline Pankhurst, Albert Einstein (to name very few) would agree with your personal observation here.
ya should have used the old Soviet Union re-worded by Glenn Beck if ya don't want the nightamre that happen ww2 Germany and the ex-Soviet Union. I'll keep my change and vote for Palin via ,ugh, McCain. I don't crippling ecomony from socialism like they have Europe. Ya knopw what Mike Moore doesn't want yas to see and why he refues to move to the countries he "praises.
this is for a good cause, but the best one so far is the barack obama anthem by robfryson with some new rapper named bishop it says 'yes we can' on the profile pic. I kid u not, this guy is talented
If there was a giant meteor heading for earth with a sure destruction of our planet. We wouldn't care what race the person would be as long as we would be saved from a sure doomsday.
Barack Obama's message is that our country unifies itself with solutions,for the good of this nation.
Besides Obama is running for the oval office, not Jeremiah Wright.
....and his racist, bigoted, former pastor is extending his 15 minutes.....If Obama were white a candidate, the NAACP, the liberal press, Revs Jessie & Al would would have demanded he get out of the presidential race!
You & many others have been "ObamaTized", believing these promises, which he can't keep & has no way of paying for these "changes" short of raising taxes. If he's elected prez, it will be an ObamaNation.....For what it's worth, none of the candidates are worth my vote; however, I'll vote this November, God willing.
Senator Obama is a phenomenon who's positive message has energized the whole country regardless of race, gender, age, and has crossed party lines like we have seen before in this country.
He was against the war from the very beginning, that has cost this country many billions, and lost lives. There is nothing empty about wanting to put this money to what we need for this country.
The man isn't saying a thing but pretty phrases, making promises he can't keep. These politicians, including Hillary & John, think they're running for King/Queen of the U.S. and can make swift changes at their beckon call. Obama hasn't been held to the same standard as the other candidates in terms of who is this guy. He goes to a racist church (I've checked out his churche's website). Had that been the other two candidates, the media would have called them out big time. No thanks on Obama.
I am going contact this church, and investigate to see if they are indeed racist as you claim.
However everyone is entitled to their opinion.
There are millions of intelligent people, major newspapers,Unions, of all walks of life believes he is the candidate of choice for our country's future.
Our individual power is the right to vote.
Like it or not, we will have a new president in November.
There are still people who value a person by the color of their skin. We have had three previous presidents who have sent jobs overseas, and the others who have us in a war that is costing close to a billion dollars a month to keep a war going that can not be won by the United States.
As the song states "there needs to be a change". The same old same old is not working--we need someone who understands the plight of the everyday person, not the rich who control the wearlth of this country.
Just so everyone knows, I mean no harm...I even know someone that's in this video. As a lover of freedom, I appreciate everyone that gets involved in the political process. I'm just opinionated and enjoy exercising my right to free speech while I'm still able to. I have come across many Obama supporters who were rather uninformed. There is a bit of a media bias and it seems he's turned into the golden boy for this year's election, without ever delving too deep into what he really believes.
I am in agreement. American is long overdue for a Change. Music is the heart of people. What better way to draw attention to the very core of a person's soul. Excellent video. I applaud you Dean Simms.
The only thing that will change if Obama gets elected will be the color of his skin...I've got nothing against having a black president, but let's elect one that's qualified and will do a good job instead of one that's inexperienced, corrupt and provides no solutions.
I want more than empty rhetoric about "hope" and "change".
This video pretty much sums up his entire campaign....it says NOTHING. It's flashy and has a nice tune, but no substance.
Thanks for your compliment of the song, and you certainly are entitled to your opinion.
However the overwhelming millions strong of Obama supporters everywhere understands that Obama can bring this country together like never before.
People said the same thing about Bill Clinton being inexperienced, and the country prospered in his administration. Obama has irrefutable wisdom on his side, something you may have one day. Peace!
Having millions of followers does not make you intelligent or even right (especially in this massively media brain-washed country). Unfortunately, millions of his followers have NO IDEA what he actually stands for. Like I said, it's all rhetoric about "hope" and "change"...he's offered us no solutions.
I'd love to know what this "irrefutable wisdom" is of which you speak. Our founding fathers had wisdom...I had to weep at his rally when he dragged their words and wisdom through the mud.
Our founding fathers were slave owners also and just imagine the weeping of my ancestors. The fact that you felt the need to say that you have nothing against having a black president pretty much sums up your entire comment. It's all rhetoric about "hope" and "change" and his followers have NO IDEA? Search on youtube for "Obama vs Clinton Hollywood Democratic Debate 3" to see a condescending reporter who thought the same thing before he questioned the wrong Obamma supporter.
And how does my comment about having nothing against having a black president sum up...anything? Our founding fathers weren't perfect...it doesn't meant that the principles they built this country on should be discarded.
I've spoken with plenty of his supporters, including ones that have a clue...I've even spoken with HIM...I simply disagree with his ideas and based on his voting record, don't think that he's going to "change" much of anything...at least not a change that I would support.
It can actually sum up a lot of things especially when a person feels the need to point out race in any situation. Did someone recently say you had something against having a black president? Hmmmm.. Let me guess. Some of your best friends are black!?!
I personally try to ignore race as much as I can. But, other people keep bringing it up. I made that statement because I've encountered many people who say the only/main reason they're voting for him is because "it's about time we had a black president." And just as I don't agree in judging someone negatively based on race, I also don't believe it's a good idea to blindly follow someone based solely on that reason either. And, I actually have very few black friends aside from my boyfriend.
Well, you were the first person to bring up race in reference to him when you left comments about this video, but yet you say that you personally try to ignore race as much as you can. That just seems kind of suspect, but hey, stick to your agenda.
Well, I apologize for any offense that was taken from my statement. It was not intended in a negative way...I was really only trying to say that I don't believe a person's skin color is a reason to vote (or not vote) for them...and I don't agree with the assumption that some people have regarding the idea that we need to have a black president. I think we need a GOOD president who will do the job he's sworn to do (protect and preserve the constitution)...regardless of race.
Musicians and entertainers everywhere are making music to support the candidate of their choice.
We are all Americans, and history is being made.
In the fall we will have a new President of the country whether we like he or she. We will have to accept it, and move on. The beautiful thing is, we are all extremely blessed to live in the USA. The greatest country in the world.
obama is experienced, he hasn't taken money from lobbyists in his presidential campaign and provides MANY solutions from healthcare to the war in Iraq. Think before you speak, friend. I and Obama embrace you when you are ready to join up
I live in Illinois and have seen first-hand his "experience"...and I can say, I've not been pleased. The fact that he simply voted "present" on so many votes is a sign of his inexperience...and lack of principles. He won't commit to any plan for withdrawal from Iraq and his healthcare plan is socialist (almost as much as Hillary's) and will lead to higher taxes. I've thought plenty before I spoke. I've been busy campaigning for the last 8 months. Believe it or not, I'm fairly well informed.
Obama won your home state of Illinois with massive support of Dem's, Reps, and Independents. And the last 11 states! The people of this nation are speaking out. This tragic war is costing us billions every month, and lost lives of loved ones everywhere. I'm glad you'll never be President!There's plenty of room on the Obama Freight Train!And McCain is riding a tug boat. Is that the boat you're on?
First of all, I never said it was a friend. I used to go to church with them when I lived in Ohio...but, I was all of 10 years old back then. She sent the video to my father and he forwarded it to me.
The only reason I might be jealous is that her candidate doesn't suffer from media black out the way mine does...other than that, I'm very proud of my own political decision.
Lastly, I was unaware that having a differing opinion was "hating on" someone.
I like that you assume to know who I'm supporting. I despise McCain. The person I am voting for (even if I have to write him in) has committed to bringing ALL the troops home immediately if elected; including those in all of our pointless, money-wasting military bases around the globe, not just Iraq. He never voted for the war or for any funding of the war and has voted several times to bring them home. Care to take another guess?
And what, exactly, has everyone else been saying? Because I still hold to the fact that no one has mentioned anything of substance and continues to only talk about "change".
Setting all else that's been said aside....I'll admit that Obama has ideas that SOUND great...but, how's he going to pay for all of it? And what about the fact that he's openly threatened Pakistan; one of our allies? Or his global poverty bill that has a proposed budget of hundreds of billions of dollars? Like taxes?
This music video brings the heart-felt positive message of change and hope for Barack Obama.
A high energy funky pop jazzy grooves with smooth harmonies, and excellent lead vocals. The trumpet raises the bar with rhythmic soulful notes of unity for all America to hear!
Great sound but the jokes on U. Where is the CHANGE?
