President Barack Obama and Parliament/Funkadelic get down and funky with "Chocolate City"

[lestoil]

Im a bit hesitant when I see things like this that joke about how the White House will suddenly turn black. Theres already so many right wingers out there that warned everyone that if a black man gets to be the president then the entire American culture will soon turn black. Fortunately Obama is a class act but I still cringe when I see jokes and parodies about there being a Soul bruthah in the White House. Thankfully hes looked upon as a broad-thinking intellectual more than a soul brutha.

[hyperpoesia]

lovely and happy-making. Thanks!

smiling all over.

[kamesan]

Wow, Stevie Wonder AND Aretha Franklin.....Speak of the Devil!

[NickodemusNYC]

A DJ looped the original P-Funk song on WFMU 91.1 about 50 times the day after Obama was elected! I listened for about an hour & it was still genius!!! This youtube clip was good too... DC JAN 20th, 2009, here we come!!!

[MagicBasement]

Thanks! Yeah, I know about the Rev ike messup, but I don't know how to go in and insert edit the correct picture without re-upping an entirely new video. Youtube won't let you. I figure I'll just leave it as is on this version for now because i like the comments.

[TikiShootah]

tell bush to get is stank azz out the now "BlackHouse!"

[ileneweiss]

Nicely done, MagicBasement. And nicely done, USA. YAY!!!!!!!

[ileneweiss]

Q: Did you intentionally use a picture of Ike Turner rather than that of that actual "pastor of prosperity" Rev Ike? Since all others pictured were who they actually are in the P-Funk song (JB, Ali, Pryor, Stevie, Aretha) I'm just wondering about the Ike pic switch.

[bhilaj]

The Republicat Obama dances not bad for a xxxxx ? man

[clemalford]

What is all this about?????

is this serious politics???

Get serious man the world is falling apart!!

[MagicBasement]

lighten up clemalford! This video was meant to be funny and celebratory. Have you lost your sense of humor, or was it never there in the first place. And another thing, if you are getting your "serious politics" from watching youtube remix videos and mash-ups, maybe you should also take history lessons from Sarah Palin.

[clemalford]

That's the trouble with your world, you think everybody else is like you. Get a 'real' life!!!

[rockjohnson80]

Never mind that uptight clemaford...This video is tight Magic!!! The editing is on point and it shows how much soul President Clinton had...lol!!! The part where he dozes off is hilarious!!. OBAMA!!!

[ItalianQue]

I like this!

By the way, the Rev Ike they were talking about in the song wasnt Ike Turner.

[MagicBasement]

I know! my bad! I'd never heard of Rev Ike, so I just assumeed they were talking about Ike Turner. whoopsie!!

[yadirasman]

My people, my people. We must, RISE, over the funk, in order to become ONE, NATION,under a GROOVE!!!!

[peady1964]

I'm voting for you in 2016.

[talkbackguy]

Obama/Biden08 YES WE CAN!

YES WE CAN support terrorism

YES WE CAN punish peoplés effort with taxes

YES WE CAN horrify about death sentence but accept killing innocent non born babies

YES WE CAN support lazy people with working peoplés money

YES WE CAN treat coloured people as ---- yesterday by supporting the KKK, today by giving them everything from the state and not introducing them into the effort culture. this is the CHANGE WE NEED to turn this nation into a hell!! MCCAIN/PALIN08

[tjekwantu]

[cantsin]

yo , talkback guy you redneck clown , get a grip , the games up , get used to it !

[Turtlegoyim]

I agree, the game is up! It is an exciting time to be a white man in America and prove to the rest of the world that the best man can win regardless of skin color!

[wendyfix]

when a person can't even use the word "horrify" in a sentence correctly, how on earth do they expect me to respect anything else they think

[jiggy2006]

Just shut up and go out there and vote for Obama.. YES WE CAN...

[pushaman1]

HAHAHA I LIKE THIS ONE! RIGHT ON!

[mightyblack1]

John"Elmer Fudd" McCain's arm are to short to box with Mr. Obama.That's one my favorite Parliament cutz.

[mightyblack1]

Right on Mr. Obama,let them haters hate,while you demonstrate like a real President should because this Ass Hole in there now has to go.

[GomerDose]

And the Nation's "Drug Czar" of course would have to be Marion Barry.

[surnoze]

Ike Turner is not Reverend Ike. Should have used a picture of the real Rev. Ike

[daddymak8]

What about Harding???

[drywall222]

NICE!

Well played, sir!

[Nicety08]

Great vid...isn't obama usin a stevie wonder song for his campaign song

[dulaneyj]

i just thought this morning that this would be a great campaign song for him. great video, I never saw some of this stuff, I can't believe they asked him if he thought Bill Clinton was America's first black president. isn't that considered politically incorrect?

[daddymak8]

It was a black woman, Toni Morrison, that called Bill Clinton America's First Black President. Toni Morrison is currently supporting Barack Obama

[mesafish]

Chocolate City should wait for his inauguration.

[wareq]

Yeah - that background riff is a perfect marching beat. Maybe he could even really make Stevie the secretary of fine arts.
