I didn't realize I was in a competition. Yours is fine and you are to be commended for taking the time to make a video tribute. Now is the time to enjoy the Inaugural activities. Enjoy the day.
One question. Why is Obama "black"? Since his mother is white, and she raised him, why is her contribution to his gene pool obliterated, and the distant dad's given all the acknowledgement? Sorry, but Obama is not the first Black President. He is the first mixed race president.
If you take an American History class, you will know why. In America, if you had any black ancestrey even if it was from a great-great grandparent you are considered black. It was that way since 1620 and it still is, its just a fact, I have biracial children and they are not considered white, the society considers biracial children black .
David Cook and Obama. YOu did wonderful on this video! Obama has a gift for speeches, and I can't wait to actually feel proud for being part American again. He is an actual change, not another Bush. I actually think Obama sounds like Dr. King a bit, especially when he was at the Washington Monument.
I'm a Canadian citizen, so am unable to vote. However, I think this video is absolutely fantastic regardless of if you are an Obama supporter or not! Thank you for putting it together!
I'm curious about what prompted you to arrive on YouTube, only to post your messages of hate. I noticed that you joined back in 2007, but you've only taken the time to watch 119 videos. You are woefully underinformed and need to do a lot of watching and reading before you know how to use big words like "socialist" in any meaningful way. Have a nice day. Here's hoping you have been too busy fear-baiting to remember to vote.
Um, you can't tell from that person's comments what he or she has been reading. Just because they don't agree with your candidate choice doesn't meant they aren't informed. I know plenty of educated people that have been doing alot of reading and following everything and are voting for McCain/Palin.
That's true, but you can tell when someone only responds by saying "freaking youtube videos." So, you've been doing "alot" of reading. Read any good books on spelling?
You haven't taken one, solitary second to consider where I'm coming from. If you're done, that's okay by me. I could have simply erased your messages and blocked future missiles hours ago. I honestly wish you the best, which is more than you have done for me. Grace and peace, BeachSaint
No, you are right, I haven't considered where you are coming from, but you haven't considered where I'm coming from either. Why didn't you erase my messages, I'm curious now? I didn't mean for it to go this far and I'm sorry. I didn't mean any harm. Take care.
I actually HAVE considered where you are coming from which is why I didn't erase what you had to say. I knew you needed to say it. It hasn't been easy being an American this past thirty-plus years and I completely understand. Peace and grace as you make your final decision to vote, BeachSaint.
Thank you. We are just passionate in our beliefs and maybe I let it get to me too much today. I actually got on Youtube today to see David Cook's performance that since I missed on SNL last night and came across your video. That was a great song selection, I must admit.
Good video. I had no idea that David was going to be on SNL. I am going to have to watch it. I wanted Archie to win, but I wish Cookie the best of luck in the future. Nice choice putting Obama and Cook together. I saw Obama at my school and he was AMAZING!! Is it the 4th yet?
"This is not a liberal America, nor a conservative America. This is the United States of America"-Senator Barack Obama.
The beauty of YouTube is that you get to choose what you want to see. Politics, like music, is about bringing people together. Thank you for not watching. It would have been even nicer if you had chosen not to make a comment.
Thank you, this video is great, and guess what people, Sarah already jumped the sinking campain of John Insane! Obama's gonna win , finally, he's the Change we all can believe in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sherry F.
Thank you for not watching. It's political commentary. If a performer doesn't feel it is correct to use their work, they always have the option of letting me know or asking YouTube to remove it. You'd be surprised how many emails I get from people thanking me for using their work even if they cannot grant formal permission. This piece reflects my truth and my point of view. You are free to disagree.
Beachsaint, your video and description info brought me tears. Just as I did with the recent Huffington Post article Beth Broderick wrote called "WHEN DO WE VOTE? ". It's about an elderly woman, 81 years old that voted for Obama just before she passed away on Oct 13 2008.
On Oct 18, 2008 I too got an overwhelming amazing feeling when I cast my vote for Obama / Biden and mailed in my Oregon "Signed, Sealed, & Delivered"
THere is something happening when the national debt increases 2 trillion dollars in 1 year.
