This song sucks. Its putting Obama on an undeserved pedestal. Let him do some real good, not all this garbage he is forcing on the American people. Race has nothing to do with how good he is. Besides that, he has had little to no experience before being elected. "Love that song". I agree only so far as the music and the beat. The lyrics are garbage. The author did not take into account the things Obama would do. If he did, he was a fool and hated all that is truly American.
The Republicans have no intention of ever cooperating or compromsing with our President Obama. People laughed at Hitler in 1922, just as people laugh at Sarah Palin today. Look what happened ten years later in Germany! Our only hope is a firm coalition of college-educated people; old guard union people; young people, and minorities!!!
Awesome, Sparrow You are the man. You're the best. You'll always be calypso king of the world, Dead or alive....Brilliant song. You're like wine, the older, the better you get; Love you!!!!!
dont see why so many ppl are happy for big government.
He talks about health care --- we have the best in the usa. socialist countreis like england/ canada/ france --- the worst health care in a develop country.
oh well - we in dis already - leh we hope for d bes. eh.
You're an ass for believing that.. Canada, Sweden and others... their healthcare surpass the one in the US by far... I hope you get cancer to see how expensive it is to treat in the states...
After all, 56 million delusional obot worshipers couldn't be wrong, or could they.. The gullible German people elected a messianic figure in 1933 during a financial crisis..
"I won't have to work on putting gas in my car..I won't have to work on paying my mortgage" .. praise be obama the magnificent...
One must understand history before one utters an historical opinion. the Germans wern't gullible. They had a plan, and that was genocide of the Jews. This plan has been redesigned in Japan, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Dafour, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Palistine, and most recently, Gaza. The world watches while innocents are murdered!. That is what happpened in Germany. The United States goverment bombed Japan while Hitler and his allies invaded, plundered and murdered!
Um, perhaps something got lost in the translation, but if you want someone else to understand history, you might want to study up on it yourself first. The US bombed Germany plenty, and the Japanese were as evil, or more so, than the Germans. What the Japanese did to enemy soldiers and the native people of the lands they invaded was beyond inhuman.
since when do you mix black with white and get African American? If he's African American, does that mean that his white grandmother never existed? or raised him? Sad.
Duh - Since WHITE PEOPLE made the one drop rule. Remember that rule? If you have one drop of Black blood, then you're Black or a ni**ger as they used to kindly call everyone who bore that one drop. People who change the rules whenever they feel like they're losing the game - SAD
well said...especially the "duh" part you jackass. All of a sudden you're listening to the WHITE MAN'S rule's you slave? I'm not white and I say he's mixed. Look out for that chip on your shoulder
The only thing sad is your comment. When I check my family history in slavery records it reads....one African of fine stock married to an African woman of fine stock... with a daughter of Mulatto descent. Guess which bedroom "massa" climbed into...??!!!???
I think it is sad that just because Obama has a strange name, people think there is something evil or terroristic about him. Honestly, how cowardly do you have to be in order to be afraid of a name?
For everyone who is overwhelmingly in support of Obama- including Sparrow and all the other artists who have written songs in support of Obama: How familiar are you with his background? See the youtube vid entitled "The Men Behind Obama" by Webster Tarpley. A good introduction to the topic.
Sparrow is the greatest polotical commentator,every time he strays from this genre I am let down this video is a classic example of Sparrow's strength,keep being a truth teller stay of the low road Sparrow of smut.JulienK
Secondly, I do not believe that he is being paid to write this song, perform this song, or to endorse Obama. Composers write about what they think, feel, and believe. Voilà.
If Harry was so great, how come he couldn't win reelection? Answer: Wide reaching scandals, all the way to the cabinet level. But it's history. I'll give ya this, Truman and Kennedy would be mortified to see what's happened the Dem party.

You are right. We cannot win with this ticket. Even if Obama gets elected, it's unlikely he'll be able to lead effectively -- he's a complete amateur and already shows that he is indecisive and surrounded by thieves & clowns that he has to throw under the bus.
If he blows this, which seems likely, we won't see another brother nominated for 40-50 years. The mud will stick.
And if he loses the election, it'll give the impression that a Black cannot win.
You know, I pitty fools like you, what I read between the lines is that you and yr fellow racists are soooooo jealous and I bet you haven't even finish kindergarten to understand that the world is not blakc and white, we are all children of God and if by chance a blackman seems to have better qualities than a whiteman than so be it so take this into consideration and change ur attitude against a blackman who is so highly educated a whiteman should die for it
think of it this way; this is quite possibly the first presidential candidate EVER who has not completely had there morals and ideals corupted by the ways of the political system that is our government, AND WHAT IN THE MOTHER F***ING H**L IS WRONG WITH GOVERNMENT SPONSORED HEALTH CARE?!!?!?!? The fact that it will cost alot of money while doing good as opposed to money pretty literally being thrown away on a war that is a complete and utter abomination of the use of military power.
When asked in a TV interview yesterday by reporter Charles Gibson about going to war with Russia if they attack Georgia again, Sarah Palin stated:
quote "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally. If another country is attacked, you are going to be expected to be called upon to help."
"idiot Palin" wants a war with a nuclear country that could kill us all.

Barac! What change is he talkin? He cannot even protect the babies..thats above his paygrade!!? where did he get his wisdom? Nancy Pelosi? Rev Wright? George Soros? We don't want no change to their idea of a new America. They want high tax, no 2nd amendment, no national pride, loss of American sovereignty, fairness doctrine. No way! Vote freedom, strong defense..McCain&Palin
you want the US to have no respect in the world,pay outrageous prices for gas, a vice resident who is already under investigation for abusing her power( corrupt!). How retarted are you?...we already owe billions of dollars and u want to spend more on this war?.....Obama is going to take us in the upward direction and that is his change....he doesnt want us in the status that we are now (unlike you)which is spiraling down......he is going to stop the process of this countries downfall!
This is a great Sparrow song. Always nice to hear this great singer dedicate himself to singing songs with consciousness rather than some of the smutty stuff that he has produced in the past.
Let the Caribbean unite and offer our prayers to the man that came for a purpose. God takes the foolishness of this world to confound the wise. Look at Barack and tap into the spirit and you will understand. Even in the spiritual realm our ancestors stand cheering him on. This movement is beyond our imagination. Let's pray for the man
I admire your conviction that Obama will make the president that you hope he will make. I just hope people like you are not blinded to the allure that politicians cast with their endless promises before they are actually elected. So far, I have seen Obama possess all of the characteristics of a very friendly, charismatic car salesman. Let's hope he doesn't sell you a lemon.
This is the time to end the Myth,it's gonna be the first black man to lead this mighty country......not this time Haitians, Caribbeans will come out to vote, Haiti for Obama.....Pa gen manti nan sa
Thanks for the inspiration Mighty Sparrow. All West Indian Americans will vote for Barack Obama in November. We can't wait to be part of this history.
Oh man, I just love this man! Obama unites all the peoples of America. America has seen so much hurt and hatred and this man stands for EVERYONE!! What better to have a man who represents ALL RACES! This is a gift to America from God. Amen. You shall see how the whole world will respect America. Americans are not racist because they all come from different backgrounds, Italians, Mexicans, Africans, Indians, English, and so forth! What a blessing!!!
I am a Cameroonian-American and I love Barack Obama. Might Sparrow, thank you. Merci pour cette chanson. Barack Obama is America's next president. I campaigned and voted and I know he will win. Merci toute le monde. Obama 08
The video is mighty strong. Every time in history that The Mighty Sparrow has made a campaign song for a candidate,the candidate has won the elections! Barack Obama will not be the exeption!
He stood his ground When the war was a conception, Said it was wrong, So he didn't go along, Jim Baker and Lee Hamilton They said of Barack's opinion, "He's a man of resplendent vision!" I know the warmongers are anxious, ready and set, Saddam is who posing to us our really main threat, They magnified Saddam's offences, Now we're paying the consequences, Everyday our soldiers joining the trenches!
the old fella still knows how to write 'em and sing 'em. i already voted for barack in the new jersey primary, but this song makes me want to vote for him 10 times ;-)
After living in the US for the better part of 5 years I myself had major doubts that he would be allowed to get this far. I have been pleasantly surprised. I have read his books, listened to him speak and am convinced that he would make a great President.
All the candidates left are strong and could do the job but Barack is the man.
Great to hear Mighty Sparrow again. The song is exciting, BUT it has one statement that I would like Sparrow to change. The one which says, "They magnified Sadam's offences". Sadam was as evil as they portrayed him, although that did not justify the war. If Barrack were to adopt the song, as I think he should, his opponents could use it against him. God bless America, God bless Barrack, God bless Mighty Sparrow, God bless us all!
when you compare it to the way US press treated an tread the murderers of US friendly States like in Guatamala (400.000 dead Mayas), El Salvador (f.e el Mozote), Argentinia (30.000 disaperead),Chile, Brazil, Indonesia, Zaire..then and f.e Usbekistan (2005 Andijon), Colombia (50.000 killed by Paracos) now,
YES then you have to say "They magnified Sadam's offences"
Not because Saddam wasn´t evil, but because the don´t care bout it in other cases
first of all barrack never voted or spoke out against the war. at the time he was not even jr state senator for Illinois. Still in the war, still in Guatanamo, still in Afghanistan, Still Dharfur, etc. Sparrow, boy you need to check the holes in the ship you jump on.

For 300 years we fought racism and worked so that Black candidates are accepted as legitimate - as mayors, governors, elected Representatives.
By backing some ill-prepared, under-qualified socialist fool like Obama, we are setting the cause of equal rights back a hundred years.
I want to see a Black President someday, but one that is QUALIFIED and READY to lead.
He is neither. He has never LED anything, never run anything in his life.
We are courting disaster - it will SET US BACK!
No way.

Oh man, I just love this man! Obama unites all the peoples of America. America has seen so much hurt and hatred and this man stands for EVERYONE!! What better to have a man who represents ALL RACES! This is a gift to America from God. Amen. You shall see how the whole world will respect America. Americans are not racist because they all come from different backgrounds, Italians, Mexicans, Africans, Indians, English, and so forth! What a blessing!!!

The respect of the world that we now lack,
If you want it back, then vote Barack!
Because this time we come out to vote!
Stop the war!
Stop genocide in Darfur!
No matter what,
Get health care for who have not!

Can attest to his tenacity,
For homeland and job security.

I, a Trinidadian, am behind Senator Obama.
After living in the US for the better part of 5 years I myself had major doubts that he would be allowed to get this far. I have been pleasantly surprised. I have read his books, listened to him speak and am convinced that he would make a great President.
All the candidates left are strong and could do the job but Barack is the man.

Great to hear Mighty Sparrow again. The song is exciting, BUT it has one statement that I would like Sparrow to change. The one which says, "They magnified Sadam's offences". Sadam was as evil as they portrayed him, although that did not justify the war. If Barrack were to adopt the song, as I think he should, his opponents could use it against him. God bless America, God bless Barrack, God bless Mighty Sparrow, God bless us all!
abidogun 3 years ago 5
Well that is exactly what Sparrow sang: "They MAGNIFIED..."
Meaning, they made him look more evil than he was!
Or, maybe you know where the WMDs Dubya said he had are?

when you compare it to the way US press treated an tread the murderers of US friendly States like in Guatamala (400.000 dead Mayas), El Salvador (f.e el Mozote), Argentinia (30.000 disaperead),Chile, Brazil, Indonesia, Zaire..then and f.e Usbekistan (2005 Andijon), Colombia (50.000 killed by Paracos) now,
YES then you have to say "They magnified Sadam's offences"
Not because Saddam wasn´t evil, but because the don´t care bout it in other cases

Negativity, Thoughtlessness, and overbearing use of Caps. Nice. Typical Clinton supporter?
bobmutchsd 4 years ago
Oh dear! another Clinton supporter who would rather have a president funded by corporations and will act only in the interest of big business.
Obama intends to reduce the influence of the lobbyist, which is why his election is funded by public donations.
Please USA.. don't fall into the Clinton Trap. The rest of the world is hoping for Obama.
