I hope Obama has seen this! I'm sure he'd like it :D

[irisevemusic]

it's the spirit that you bring.... !!!

that's it ani, it's not even obama, but what he represented and what his election represented..

there is no going back!!!

the conscious evolution is NOW <3

[MzHibou]

Come on guys! How do you expect him to fix everything in just a couple of years? Why are no one talking about all the shit the republicans have been doing these last 30 years?

[TheMindflavor]

"President Obama, you do not have to be perfect... I trust that you are a public servant..."

Uhm.... well, he's not perfect, that's for sure... too bad he turned out to be a self-serving socialist.

I like the song tho.

November 4th, 2008

[1treehugger1967]

oh thanxs lol i thought that was maybe the date of the video aha Ani's so groovy ;)

[blazman2]

Resurrected our democracy? I think you know better than that Ani. They are all trying to fuck us over even Obama. We out of Iraq yet? Sending more to Afganistan.. People are dieing every day and this idiot does nothing. Just as complicit as Bush if you ask me.

[edgeyp12]

I'm a huge Ani fan, but I would have to agree with you on this one. Obama is increasing the troops in Afghanistan, he's not getting us out of Iraq, he's not giving us healthcare, his cabinet is filled with a bunch fascist terrorists just like him, he bombed Pakistan many times, killing thousands in the process.... The list goes on. I saw Jeremy Scahill and Amy Goodman give such great speeches against Obama when we played at a conference in Chicago. Not all of us are duped :)

[mindrunfree]

I can feel the new life emerging with every breath I take in the morning. This world is in a whirlwind of extreme chaos and transformation. Ani, you just keep recording this historical recordkeeping, our future generations will be listening to you and thinking, "Oh, wow, is that what they were going through!?"

[pastkaos]

ani for president

[bendingsyllables]

ani is so fucking awesome

[acousticanarchy]

Yesterday was the first day i could relax with the knowledge that Obama finally took that office which was so wrongly abused for the last 8 years. Beautiful song, beautifully said.

[vcid1285]

I absolutely love this song, I can't get enough of it. Amazing to think that Ani wrote it in about a week.  I am constantly amazed by Ani's prolificness. And, she looks so beautiful!!

[sugarmamapr]

Good goddess, you have soooo much love and heart and passion thank you thank you! You continue to inspire me and my family. Much love and happy 2009!

[cosmicwoman]

How amazing hey, Ani playing this in my living room at 5:20am on the west coast of Canada on this 10th day of Dec. 2008!

Fuck the oppressive powers & give it all to the love of equality and all our humanity!

Be careful of what you give your power too peoples.

Ani gets my power and without a doubt it comes back. Weeee!

Every moment of every day is Christmas!

Not in the religulous sense but in the sense of caring in an equal way. Thanks Animal for recording this ditty. LOL

[dancerchic565]

saw this live. ani is a goddess. she really has shaped my perspective on alot of important issues that people have forgotten about. ani, i love you. dont stop making beautiful music.

[INXSrocker]

Only one thing has brightened my life more than this song: meeting my girlfriend.

Thank you!

[mindrunfree]

That is soooo sweet!

[QueerLiberation]

Wow, I loved the lyrics saying something about how we used to hide our passport and now we want to display. It made me gasp with joy.

[QueerLiberation]

The images in the beginning of this video were epic.

[SimpleSamadhi]

November 4 was such a beautiful day. 

(40 minutes before the election was called I got accepted into art school...)

It is just so amazing when it rains good news after an eight year drought that left everyone desperate.

[JTassinaro85]

Saw you play it live in Jersey! LOVE this song. So ummmmm when's the next CD? :p

[righteousjoy]

Awesome song.
