  • 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.

  • what a joke

  • OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • if sparrow only know the great evil that is behind barrack Obama,that controls him

  • Love the Song, Thanks for holding up this great man!

  • He's a f*cking joke.  Can't wait for his ass to be gone.

  • @WSWarthog

    Shit happens :-)

  • Great Song, would that is were true. Monstrous President

  • nice tunneeeeeee

  • Wink....

  • my sparrow you will never be surpassed by any other calypsonian.

    you are exceptional in the art of calypso .

    thank you for your part in our history.

  • 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!!!

  • Listening again. Just beautiful. Will try to see if I can find the CD

  • lol @ obama sending 13000 more troops to war

  • Prophetic

  • truely a leggend long live sparrow the people's calypsonian

  • 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!!!!!

  • Awesome, Sparrow, the best on the world. King today. King tomorrow King forever. Brilliant song. Love you!!Birdie

  • socialism for usa!

    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.

  • ur kidding about the best health care in the US right

  • 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...

  • I am listening to this for about a hundreth time.

    Just great

  • Hot! Hot! Hot!  Super Hot:

    Crepsole, Trinidad

  • 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

  • Comment removed

  • No one can do it like Sparrow! OBAMA!!!

  • search in youtube nwa express youself then you see the vid pause at 1:55 barack obama LOL !! he rocks MUST WATCH

  • wth you think this is pirates of the caribbean?

  • so happy he won!!!

  • 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

  • 11 december 2008, Mighty Sparrow will give a concert in Paradiso, Amsterdam (The Netherlands).

  • I like the song big ups to my people in trinidad, I love yall

    sparrow keep doin your thing man

  • WOW, I love it, I love it. nice words

  • love that song ,love obama even more

  • OBAMA, NUBIAN BROTHER WITH A MELANATED RICH BLOODLINE THAT RUNS THRO ALL NUBAINS, (people of colour) BROTHERS AND SISTAHS AROUND THE WORLD 1 LOVE

  • sorry i want to know if this song its from sparrow in Grenada???

  • The Mighty Sparrow was born in Grenada but has been living in Trinidad since he was one. He is Trinidian and the greatest calypsonian in the world.

  • i heard this song on the radio this morning! it was SWEET! Bless u Barack, big to the artist and this song!

  • barack!

  • he won 35 min ago.

    barack the magnificent.

  • Big up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • BARACK! BARACK!

  • Thank you for the music . . . LOVE to Barack!!

  • I enjoyed the music...BARACK! BARACK!

  • VOTE VOTE BARACK!!!!!!!!!!

  • Barack victorious over the Repuglycan McCain!

  • Republicans tried to hard to survive.

    Now they're wanted--Dead or Alive!

    Go Mighty Sparrow!

  • BIG UP!

  • Sell offff!

  • Firstly, do you mean "Sell out?"

    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.

  • No, "Sell offf," is a Jamaican term to mean Very good; awesome. Sparrow is one of our living icon, a legend in his own right. No diss, sistren.

  • Thank you Sparrow! You've said it all. I Hope you'll be present at his inauguration in Jan 09!

    GO BARACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Obama will be the best prez we've had since Harry Truman.

    I'm shocked that this song got virtually no attention in the media. With Kitch gone, Sparrow is all the calypso we've still got.

  • 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.

  • Your so right we should not even try just in case we should fail.

    Goodness knows I will sleep so much better with Sarah 2nd in command.

  • 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

  • Tank Monster...you have no concept of history. You do not know what you are talking about. Read your history!

  • 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.

  • yeah ... just what we need in the white house ... a sparrow who smokes cigarettes .....

  • I can see The Mighty Sparrow perform at the inaugeration ceremony on 01/20/09

    Just a thought.....

  • sparrow is the man

  • Sparrow here adeptly addressing republican whining that the Coco Tea song was light on policy specifics.

  • Sparrow for Secretary of State

  • ah fuck you....barack is the man... he can run a country.. mccain would do the same as bush did...n datz not something good...........GO BARACK!!

  • America has sovereignty huh? I don't know if you saw the news but in 1776, a little while ago now, you became a federal republic. Oh well.

  • 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!

  • Great song -Love the lyrics and the beat.

  • keep dreaming

  • 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.

  • Ogawsh! Look even Sparrow touch the topic too. Niceness!

  • we going white house!

  • Torture racists.

  • sparrow you a historian...u know a GREAT leader

    when u see one....nuff lyrics in yu song!! you

  • 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

  • Nice Song For Obama Barack IM voting for him.

  • Not this time!

    We come out to vote!

  • 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.

  • heh, I always stay skeptical no matter how sweet the candy is.

  • Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique for OBAMA. We believe!!! btw.. Sparrow is a spice man.

  • 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

    Humphrey Wout

  • Sparrow have a new CD comming out? Because I wants to buy this song.

  • Perfect video.

    Yes we can!

  • The Mighty Sparrow. He will always be the best calypsonian of all time. Great catchy song. :)

  • Well done Sparrow!! I hope you continue your great works for years to come.

  • 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 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!

    The Foreign Relations Committee,

    Can attest to his tenacity,

    For homeland and job security.

  • Go Barack make History, tell the truth and rise my brother. Go Barack, Go Mighty Sparrow! Ya Mon!

  • excellent video, great candidate

  • 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 ;-)

    viva sparrow! viva barack!!

  • tell dem Sparrow... Obama for president.

  • fi real

  • Vote for Barack, he's the best of the two canidates. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEV IN.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • a sparrow is always a sparrow nuff respect to the golden veteran

  • Great to hear Sparrow sing again and for such a great person. Good show.

  • whaaaaaaaaaaaaa big up sparrow on dis one yah suh barack for president

  • Sporrow social commentary is always refreshing. He says things you know but was still not conscious. He is the kiaso Brother Bob.

    Faith

  • yesyesyes yes

    viva obama

    from the caribbean

  • That Mighty Sparrow sure knows how to promote. Hillary supporters better get use to this song and name "Barack".

  • Big shout out to the best by test obama

    Yes we can.

    Tell Hilly and Billy open the can of worms

    we all need to see what they are hiding.

  • Go Obama !!!! Click on "ramotringo" and enjoy my inspiring Obama videos.

  • R U kidding?

  • mosheed! Did you take your pills?

  • Negativity, Thoughtlessness, and overbearing use of Caps. Nice. Typical Clinton supporter?

  • 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.

  • r u serious wow this song iz the best

  • Well done Sparrow! classic Trini stlye commentary, but where were you for our elections
