  • John's music still calls us to our better selves--has it really been almost four years since we lost him?

  • not bad

  • John wrote this song in 74 and I think he is referring to the Watergate Scandal.

  • I love John Stewart's stuff but this video with hillary is just bull.

  • Sorry, my comment below was written only in response to jwtosh, who wrote that JS "did not subscribe to the current left-of-center view of America".

  • Hillary, I miss you! I love you; I want you back!

  • I miss Hillary.

  • What a beautiful video...America has lost the voice of a great leader this year..We will survive and Hillary will be back in 2012..and John Stewart will remain in hearts forever...Thank you John and God Bless You Hillary....

  • A typical musical masterpiece from the late John Stewart, America' troubadour. We all miss you John, but your songs will live in us for all time.

  • Hillary is the best

  • she is the best.

    thank you Hillary

  • Hillary is my HERO!

  • Hillary is a Survivor!

  • Just watching it again and it's even better now...Hillary's grown so much during this campaign and the video seems even more apt now. Thank you for the most beautiful Clinton-tributes I've ever seen...

  • At the Turning Point in Piermont, NY, not long ago before his death, John expressed his unabashed anger about the Iraq War & expressed his encouragement of those who would question or oppose it.

  • walter-you are correct. JS was not simple in mind-he was ideal in soul and did not subscribe to the current left-of-center view of America."Ooo MOTHER COUNTRY I DO LOVE YOU"

  • If you really think John wore his politics on his sleeve so people could make proclamations like this, you might be interested to know that in 1962, he wrote "The Road to Freedom", recorded by The Kingston Trio (of which he was a new member) and that he marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965 from Montgomery to Selma. He sang for Bobby Kennedy in his 1968 campaign, and he would love Obama. Also, you might have a listen to Midnight Train on his 2006 album, about "el presidente"....

  • Hillary, you are my hero.

  • I don't think Hillary is the answer..she more or less is the question. The answer is and always will be John Stewart. Rest in peace, John.

  • Thank you Hillary

  • To view a pro hillary promo, go to rallyfour

  • Thank you. Such a beautiful song. Hillary is our only answer

  • Only Hillary understand and care about the middle class. We want her as our president.

  • Awesome video!

  • Thank you Hillary, you are the women for our country. We will survive with you as our leader. We all need you here in the "US". Come on the rest of "US left to vote, bring her back to the Whitehouse for all our own good. We love you Hillary and you will be our Commander and Chief. Keep the faith, you are the one for America and Obama is not [W]right for "US" at all. Vote Hillary for peace in the middle east.

  • Anyone who supports Hillary, send this video link to as many people as possible. If Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee, McCain will be the next President. We will be in Iraq for another 20 years and many more Americans and Iraqi people will die. If you don't believe this, just look at what states Obama won in the primary/caucuses and how they have voted in past presidential elections. People don't go from voting for conservatives to voting for a liberal over night or even in a few years.

  • We will survive!

  • Love this! Hillary Is My Girl!

    Praying For Peace!

    ~Mimi

  • Thank you,Hillary! Thank you America!

    And please listen to two wise men who should be reminded of their Spoken Truth:

    "I have no doubt that Sen. Hillary Clinton will make a good President"!

    ---Sen. John McCain (Baghdad interview with Hillary on Meet the Press,Tim Russert);

    "I think that Hillary will be GREAT PRESIDENT"!!---DNC Chair,Howard Dean.

    Please remember the Truth!......and fight to the end for Democracy.

  • Nice video. Don't give up. Hillary can still win it.

  • Great!

  • Be carefull what you wish for, and understand that John Stewart was a Kennedy democrat. Read your history.What would today's democrats-ie. Hillery/Barack do if Osama was nuclear in Cuba. John Stewart Loved America and and worked to improve it(us).The left we are currently left with hates America and wishes to minimize all the good our fathers have fought and died for. I knew John as an artist and a freid-and I know he's still singing "O'h MOTHER COUNTRY I DO LOVE YOU"

  • Robert was a different kind of Democrat from his brother, Robert learned from his brother's and Johnson's mistakes. As for us "left we are currently left with". Absoulute drivel. We love our country, but hate the way it has been reduced to a simplistic "us versus them" mentality. If you really love his music, do a video search for John's view of Cuba..."Cuba, John Stewart"

  • Even as a Brit here in Merrie Olde England, it really is a moving video, and one of my favourite John Stewart songs, Hillary Clinton will I think, make a fine president for the USA. god bless America

  • Awesome. This brought tears to my eyes. Hillary all the way!

  • Thank you! That is a beautiful video! Hillary is intelligent, strong, resilient and hard working. She will make a wonderful president for all working people in America and make us proud!

  • I love this! After 219 years, it's time to make ALL voices count!

  • Thanks for the great video!

    America it is not too late-- let's take action now.

  • A wonderful tribute to a remarkable woman. I am voting for Hillary because she has a proven record of leadership. She tackles tough issues and implements real change that improves the lives of so many who have no voice.  THANK YOU HILLARY and thank you to the creator of this video.

  • Do we really want another president who has been in playing the game so long? Another master of manipulation. (Don't fool yourself into believing she's not using manipulation to desperately gain ground on Obama.) I think I would rather try a new approach.

    Isn't the definition of insanity trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

    I am ready for a change.

  • dbutze, i hate to be the one to break this to you. but you have been falling for the wolf Obama. He's not different than other politicians. He just lies better than other. And now he got caught in the acts. It's not to late to wake up brother. The longer you are into it, the more you will hate yourself later.

  • Goddamn they're all just as bad as each other, It's a little more complicated than the lesser of two evils, you have to choose the lesser of a handful of evils picked out of a whole heap of evils.

    There is no right choice. The more evils you have to choose from, the less likely you are to elect the lesser evil.

  • The best! ;)

  • Beautiful

  • Love it! Thanks for showing everyone our girl! Hillary 2008-2016

  • Hillary's been an inspiration to me ever since I was in highschool. This video gave me chills. Thank you Highwall, thank you Hillary!!

  • I am 57 years old and have followed John for years,starting in Pheonix....I felt that was a great video and I thank you.

  • John Stewart is (was) my grandpa ;-(

    BaldDude1 (canyon s.)

  • wow.! you are so lucky. you must be so proud. this is the first time i heard this song. it's very powerful. sweet and sad at the same time.

  • My dad died 3 weeks before your grandpa died. Both men had a profound impact on my life. This was a very sad time for me. I took comfort in both losses by cherishing what they both gave to me. May your life be enriched by the wonderful legacy he left you.

  • God Bless him and his music. He was the best.

  • fantastic video! just awesome.

    Hillary 08

  • Please Wyoming- Vote for the candidate with the smarts, guts, experience, tenacity, strength, ability to work across the aise, mental maturity, and patriotism to really do this job effectively. Senator Glenn and so many top military brass support her too. Thank you. Hillary 08.

  • Great video Walter! It must have helped, too, three out of four isn't bad! Wig

  • Thanks. The song itself is intensely political, and so was John - in the best sense of the word. He supported a particular candidate (RFK), and RFKJr makes the point that Hillary follows in that same tradition. Where do you suggest we go from here; how can we make it better?

  • I would like to see what you could do with some of the other great JS songs like, Botswana, Wingless Angels, or Armstrong. When you use a song to benefit one particular candidate it loses objectivity. I agree that Survivors is a political song, but not about individual politicians. If more people can be introduced to John's music, the world will be a better place. Thanks.

  • Good ideas; thanks. John Stewart included a version of "Survivors" on his album for RFK "The Last Campaign." But your larger point is well taken.

  • It is a great video. I'm a Hillary supporter and I've emailed the link to many friends.

    Thanks.

  • (I'm going to try to keep nasty comments off this list; feel free to make constructive comments about anyone. If you want to demean either candidate, take it somewhere else. The video is a positive message, not anti-anything or anybody)

  • It's obvious that you have great talent and it is wonderful that you used one of John's songs. It's too bad you did it for political reasons. You could have used different video and left the politics out and you would have a masterpiece.

  • Great! I can't wait to finally have a president who cares about people and has the experience to bring real change to our country. She won't have to "hire" expertise like Obama whose career has always been to get up the ladder before he mastered the previous job! Go Hill!

  • FANTASTIC- John's music makes it real -brings

    tears-makes me think seiously about voting for

    Hillory. Perfect campagin music!!!

  • You imagine wrong. Nobody's rolling over. JS wanted a Democrat in and thought Hillary was a great Democrat.

  • Thanks for being so civil. Don't you think it's curious that not even Teddy is supporting Hillary?

  • Not so curious. Folks make endorsements for all kinds of complicated reasons. Some excellent Kennedys are for her. RFK Jr is a real work horse, like her. Point is, words and spirit of song fit well with her accomplishments, values and aspirations. That's why the images and music together are so powerful and moving.

  • Premoto--Thanks again for being civil. For some reason I expected otherwise. I was always an anomoly with my liberal friends, because I was a huge JS fan and my politics are to the right of Ghengis Khan. Perhaps it's just wishful thinking, but I would still like to think that JS (as liberal as he was) would not be in Hillary's camp. Regardless-JS was great and Bill & Hillary need to retire.

  • No it is not surprising because Teddy figures if Bo happens to get to be president in actuality Teddy will really be the president and get through whatever he wants

  • And you have this on what authority? I would believe that only if it came from Buffy or Luke.

  • I used to love this song, but somehow it's now a bit tainted. I know my man John Stewart wasn't exactly a Reagan Republican, but I can't imagine that he would support Bill's wife. I'll bet RFK and John Stewart are rolling over right now.

  • Wow--I am crying--send this one to Wyoming-SEND IT EVERYWHERE.

    I love you Hillary. You really do care.

  • I love this video! It shows the concern for other in her facial expressions. I hope she can use it for a campaign commercial. Congrats on OHIO we knew we would win it for you Hillary!! !

  • Soon I hope we'll be playing this wonderful song for both of them.

  • Hillary won OH!!!!

  • Yes, she made it!!! We always know!

    She is making the history!!!

  • Political commercias on TV should be illegal in USA, as it is in many other countries.

    They are using so much money to advertice themselfs, and spreading dirt on the opponents, that the political message is fading.

    This video sucks btw. Waaaay to patriotic!

    AND I dont hear any promises!!! It`s only her plans. (half of them will probably fail)

    If somebody base their desition on this video, that someone is a twat!

  • You are living in a glass house (cannot write in English). And what exactly is a "twat"? Misogyny is so passe.

  • Thats because I am norwegian, and english is my third language. How many languages do you know ?

    A twat is a jerk, as you americans say. Its a brittish expression. Maybe you should concider expanding your own vocabulary before critisising me.

  • I speak two languages and a "twat " is not a jerk. Try asking a female American what it is!

  • different cultures, and languages then. sorry :)

  • PLEASE VOTE  FOR HILLARY CLINTON :)

  • w

    ?

  • This country needs a major change!!!! The gas prices alone are killing the middle class population. Can not even afford to drive to work! Vote for Hillary, I think she will start the changes to a better life in this country.

  • @BMG09 Gas prices,,,,try living in the UK !!! You've been spoilt for a long time.

  • I love her so much.

  • You mean a conservative talk show host doesn't like a democrat. Holy SHEET!

  • Truth hurts, buddy

    You need to be open-minded :)

  • You seriously think he's going to appoint Kucinich and Nader to overlook defense spending, and he hates Western Civilization? You're desperate.

    We are already breaking the bank on Iraq, to "win" (there's no real victory condition, say it's a peaceful elected- not democratic, just elected gov't) well have to empty the treasury, so no healthcare etc. The only other option is try to gain the good faith of the rest of the world (not Iran) and some help to fix the mess.

  • I couldn't find this song on Itunes? Where can one buy a legal copy?

  • go to amazon website, and search "Cannons in the Rain/Wingless Angels". It is a CD, $24.99

  • Cannons and Wingless Angels are two excellent Stewart works. In my top five along with California Bloodlines, Punch the Big Guy and The Phoenix Concerts.

  • What was the lie, that he thought it was a bad idea?

    Voting against funding it equals political suicide because he's not "supporting the troops" not because he believes in the war.

    Therefore one needs the mandate of victory to stop the war.

  • He has also been kicking Hillary's butt by building better organizations on the ground.

    Again he did not come out of nowhere he's been working for the people twenty years himself.

  • buddy, community service is nothing compared to national issue. You cook dinner for your family for 20 years doesn't mean you are a great chef to cook for many families.

  • Then being married to the governor or attorney general of Arkansas is nothing to brag about either, but someone you support thinks it does.

    Ask yourself why.

  • Well it was deleted before, but I'd like to point out that being married to the attorney general or governor of Arkansas does not count as "a national issue" either.

  • He worked on the south side of Chicago for many years. Has anyone seen the south side of Chicago lately?? Where are the improvements?? Obama has lied about how his Father came here under the Kennedy administration...it was the Eisenhower administration. He says that his parent met at Selma. Oh really??? Seems Barack forgot what year he was born and what year Selma was. I cannot vote for a person who lies about his parents. Obama is "buying" his way; Hillary is "EARNING her way!!!!!!!!!!!

  • She helped my family in Little Rock and helped out our inner city school. No media, no hype just on the ground getting things done for the kids there!! Go Hillary!! She isn't all talk, she will be ABLE to take on this mess we are in and she's got the answers to get this job done!! Good bye GWB!!

    Let's put the person who has the STRENGTH to take on this mess and who isn't afraid to take a little scrutiny and keep on working!!

  • Wonderful - to the extent a President takes us in the right direction and fights - let it be HILL ........ BO has good intentions - he is not askholl REP == but he needs to go around the block a few more years and get ready for the ugly mean Republican machine

    With the news today of the double speak from BO to Canada in Chicago - I now expect Clinton to win both TX and OH - and if she does not - then again we will get what we deserve

  • Hillary 2008!!!

  • She will restore the country.

    She will help the people in need.

    She will bolster the middle class.

    She will make us proud.

  • I have never felt this strong for a candidate than I do for Hillary Clinton.

  • This is a great video, I agree Hillary should run this as an ad. Vote for REAL change that we can believe in--come on OH, Vt, Tx, and RI--vote for Hillary in 2008! We finally have a real candidate that cares about the middle class- don't listen to the biased media who have been attacking her mercilessly this whole campaign. I am voting for Hillary here in Columbus, Ohio--come on Ohio give the nomination to a true Democrat- a person who speaks for the voiceless in our society.

  • Hillary 2008!!!

  • Hillary is a strong believer that we should see this country so she would appreciate the use of this song. I'm amazed how well she has done in New York getting their support throughout the state. Thank you.

  • I am an African American male from Cleveland, OH (and the inner city) and Hillary Clinton DEFINATELY has my vote. I'm not one to get caught up with Obamamania. I hope she proves the media wrong (who's been doing her so wrong since she's been campaigning) and win this very important victory. Our last president had on the job training,(and look where we're at) we need a proven leader.

  • Thank you for your wonderful video. Go Hillary!

  • I JUST LOVE IT..GO HILLARY!!!

  • great video!! I hope she pulls ahead in the polls on Tuesday.Imagine what it would like if a teacher put a poster of presidents on a wall in a classroom, and children could see a woman at the end of the list...C'mon tx, oh, and RI -- break that glass ceiling!!!

  • You did a great job on this video. I am also supporting Hillary based on her lifetime of working for all Americans. I have also been impressed by the endorsements of so many great military heroes -- something that is especially impressive in light of her deep commitment to "liberal" causes. From that point of view, Hillary combines strengths of both Obama and McCain. She'll stand by you in Ohio, Texas, Vermont, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania -- stand by her now. Hllary in 08 -- yes we will.

  • im  from ohio and she has my vote !!!

  • I posted this video. It is homemade. I am for Hillary for President. I am not part of Hillary's campaign organization. YouTube updates view #s every once in a while; no problem there.  And just like anyone else who uploads a video to YouTube, I can remove offensive comments. Constructive comments about anyone are always welcome. Thanks for understanding.

  • Thank you very much for this great video!

  • Thank you! I forgot how many times I had kept coming back to this video.

  • She also "worked" (gave a lot of speeches) to get us national health care. Fifteen years later, and I'm still waiting.

  • If she becomes the President, she will make this happen. For the last 15 years, she has been the First Lady and New York Senator.

  • Then maybe she's "all words"

  • Again my commments regarding Clinton's record and comparisons of that record to Obama have been removed. She runs on her record, but her supporters will not allow it to be discussed.

    Not sporting at all.

  • Hillary, be the comeback kid tomorrow!

  • Hillary 2008!!!

    BIG WIN

  • You judged what a person did for this country based on their party? LOL

  • Amazing and inspiring video. So sorry that some feel the need to be critical of Hillary even here. This is a tribute and a love letter to her and to a wonderful musician, John Stewart. Its been 40 years since RFK ran for president, since HIllary was doing voter registration work in Texas, and since John Stewart and his wife travelled and sang for RFK in California. 40 years of hard work and accomplishments.

  • Why is it not yet the theme ad for Hillary?!!!

  • It has been an emotional day, travelling for over an hour to see Hillary speak, making phone calls for Hillary, getting together with friends who support Hillary. She is the sea change we have been waiting for, as women, as older women feminists, as citizens of this country that has suffered so much and is so in need of a strong woman to take action for change. We are working hard for Hillary in Ohio--JOIN US, and help us win Ohio for Hillary!!!

  • Thank you so much for making this happen!

    Go Hillary 2008!!!!

  • awesome song. i am so moved.

  • this is the real Hillary!

    The country needs you

  • Hillary, America is counting on you.

  • Go Hilary Go, may people make the right choice this time

  • Here in my lonely room in Columbus, Ohio, I have found this video and am deeply moved. Let's all pray that the nation finds the Hillary that her followers know!

  • Wonderful video that shows Hillary at her best. I too agree this would make a wonderful campaign ad. I have been volunteering for Hillary here in OHIO.

    For years now we have seen women doctors,lawyers,engineers,plum­bers,construction workers,even miners. It's definitely time for a women president. Every woman should be proud to stand behind Hillary Clinton.She is a true fighter,caring and commited to the poor and middle class. She is someone who has the experience to lead the US from day one.

  • Wow, really shows Hillary's endless energy fighting for us. Go Hillary!

  • If we could afford to really hear who we need to lead us, the hands would point to one strong woman, Hillary Clinton- what a celebration if we could elect who we would hire for the job of presidency!!! Our family is behind you HRC! You have our hearts and our votes!

  • Awesome awesome--thanks for posting--we in Ohio are working hard for her..time is short and the need is great for her proven leadership..proven over 35 years...not just 4 or 5!!!

  • Inspiring video!

    GO HILLARY!!!!

    Come on Texas and Ohio!!!!!!

  • Great job Hillary!

    Just be careful, okay?

  • This is what all those Obama supporters need to see! Hillary truly cares about the country and has the tenacity to make the changes needed to bring our country back from the last eight years of pillaging.

  • Great Video!

    Go Hillary!

  • Great video!

    Real change = Electing someone who knows what they're doing into the Whitehouse.

    Hillary '08

  • Love this video. The views count has not changed. I've pulled this up three times myself. It remains the same. 3881. You Tube is as bad as the media.

  • OH FOR HILLARY!

  • Oh yeah - forgot to encourage viewers to watch to the end to see Robert Kennedy Jr...

  • Nice video! 103 women for every 100 men in the U.S.A. (2005 UN Startistical Division Data.) I'm ready for 103 female presidents for every 100 male presidents! Go Hillary! Be the first!

  • Excellent video. It motivated me and wife tremendously. If it is not too late, Hillary should put a short version of it in the TV ad.

  • We need Hilary in the White House. I hope the people of Cincinnati does not listen the the Cincinnati Inquire.

  • I can't believe the count is still set at 3881! Come on, youtube, either improve your algorithm or fire the person who brings his favor of Obama into work!

  • You Go Hillary!! I Believe In You And That YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE In This World!

  • oHIo believes in HILLARY.....she will lead this country to the top,once again.

    Keep Shining~

    PaminOhio

  • The WORLD needs Hillary!

  • If she doesn't win the nomination then we Democrats get what we deserve. OHIO LOVES HILLARY

  • Hillary cares about middle class people like you and me, and she is working really hard to stand up for us. It's now time for us to stand up for her! Vote on Mar. 4th!

  • Hillary, we want to have you in the White House to answer the call at 3AM.

    TX, OH, RI, VT

    Can you hear me?

    You are the country,

    You are the nation,

    You will survive!

  • Outstanding video! It REALLY shows Hillary Clinton is a reachable person who genuinely cares about America's People. She will be a remarkable President. Not only history breaking, but a President who will REALLY make a DIFFERENCE! HILLARY CLINTON HAS GOT TO WIN. THERE IS NOT ANOTHER CHOICE.

  • Go Hillary! Please have a voice for all middle class Americans! Wonderful Video!

  • Go Halliry!

  • I truly believe she will be the President who can lead this country out of deficit, and lead this country to greatness!

  • This woman has the experience and capacity to be president. I hope she is elected.

    381 years of republican heritage

  • Great Video!

    At 53 and male, I have never been more passionate about a candidate. This person is the best person for the job and I also have never worked on a campaign before until now!

    That is how much I believe in Her!

  • great video! During this primary season, I began to know more and more about Hillary, I like her more and more.She is the kind of responsible, capable president I want.Go Hillary! Ohio, Texas please let her go on!!

  • This great video couldn't be a better gift dedicated to Hillary.

    Go Hillary!

  • well nafta may have a good idea, but apparently greed and corrupt corporations ruined it and america's economy.

  • Outstanding Video...The 8 years prior to the Clinton years were terrible (George Walker Bush.) I am looking forward to March 4th when Hillary takes on Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island...I left San Diego, Ca for Ohio, to do my small part for Hillary. That's how important it is to me, my family, friends and the rest of the nation!

    We need to RECOVER the last 7 years of this incompetent administration and put us back on the right path and peace. Vote for Hillary, she is our best contender!!

  • Great Video ... Hillary Has My Vote on March 4th Here in Ohio!!!!

  • I just posted it on my myspace web and on the bulletin as well. Go Team America! Go Hillary!

  • I wish everyone would quit criticizing her and saying "she is ugly and looks like a man." I think she is a tough lady and people should actually listen to what she has to say and not automatically dismiss her for stupid reasons.

  • Great Video, Great Message Vote Hillary Clinton March 4th

  • Ditto!! As a "White woman over 50", married to a man of color, with 3 biracial, this is an exciting time at our household. but I have been a die hard Clinton soccer mom, and now Hillary can do me for me than a man that has as much experience as the kid that cuts my front yard!! A tad more, but I don't want to "go to church", just fix the mess that 8 years of being "in the Bushes" has done to our nation. Come on Buckeyes, bring it home for Hillary!!!

  • God Bless Hillary and God Bless America. This is what she has sacrificed so long for. Go Vote Hillary. She is America, she has the experience, she will bring us all together, and get our country back on track to prosperity.

  • Brilliant Video 5/5

  • I will be voting March 4th for the next President of the United States! You don't even have to ask who that is, is there any doubt? Hillary Rodham Clinton, Madame President!

  • Ms. President
