[demetrius1469]

[mrjosephdowdy]

Blessins Cuz, Sparrow continue to do your thing, and Florence says High...

[bbfmail]

OH NO!! Too bad The Mighty Sparrow has lost his mind.

[grannyvonng]

BARRACK!!!! Ease up on Israel, darlin'!

[TheSuperonestore]

Barack Ibama the white man uncle tom........holla black man .

[aev159]

GOD BLESS AMERICA SPARROW, AND NOW YOU ARE A U.S. CITIZEN? Just remember that this is a country of immigrants.

[Catrinavillage]

You give us great music all the time Sparrow

[ltigre2031]

rip!!!!!!!

[Luvvamanwayne]

some people know it all,not saying it's the correct thing to do,but when the other races vote for there's it's OK,the black guy comes along & make it,it becomes a race thing,WHAT WAS IT B4? some people just doesn't want others to progress,if they haven't made it,why should anyone else?I know these people because I deal with them a lot in this life,they're the ones with a brain,everyone else are assholes,that's why here on YAHOO is your forum for you 15 mins of fame

[bajan1966]

A Royal salute to the greatest USA president of all time the supreme commander President B.H.Obama.

[bornjust2003]

LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY SPARROW !!!!!

[JayTeeElle]

Yiu dah man, Sparrow!

[QUEENLAMOUR389]

10 09 09 CONGRTULATION MR PRESIDENT ON WINNING THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.We are so very proud of you.This is a great day in the world.May the Creator continue to bless you and your family.We love you in the Jamaican community.(living in the US)

[part2themovie]

it pisses me off, first black president had to be "half" white right? And to top it off he's worse than Bush, this just shows how racist the world is and how easily race can be used to manipulate people.

[Luvvamanwayne]

@part2themovie what pisses me off is people ,expect the BLACK SUPERMAN to clean up the darn mess that he go & meet, in a few days,the problem is that the rich doesn't want him because he wants to help poor people which would mean that,they'll have to share,give DUMB BUSH 8yrs to mess up real good & expect it should be cleaned up in a few months,unreal....

[part2themovie]

@Luvvamanwayne No, what pisses me off is how Obama proves how racist the world was and still is. Obama is a 1/2 white puppet of the globalist elite. First black president, ironically will always be his ONLY achievement.

You're the typical black who never thought they would see a man of color in that position, which is precisely why Obama was chosen. the next gimmick will be a woman with a retarded running mate. All you need to do is look at Obama policies, which you havent

[brownsugar1979]

@part2themovie And this is the funny part. It's the same hypocritical white folks that said that if a white man have any blood from a black man.....you're black.

[simplexyz38]

@brownsugar1979 the one drop rule is still on the books today.

[leonie46]

Fantastic song!!!

[ExodusPessoa]

Jamaica loves Barack

[zanxter]

Which is somewhat paradoxical considering Mr. Obama's stance on gays & abortion. Which would have deemed him nothing more than a pariah in the eyes of many Jamaicans, had it not been for that little bit of melanin in his genes.

Where one sits determines where one stands. Right now many are still in the 'shade of darkness' expecting to be guided by an invisible light.

Peace!

[1gudspliff]

Fuck barack, it is all the same, wake up

[1halfmanhalfamazing]

Black people would vote for satan himself as long as he is BLACK!!!!!!

[medicvet]

@1halfmanhalfamazing oh go suck an egg and get over youself.

I like the song and voted for the man, but I don't know about him being "magnificent" , lol..

[part2themovie]

@1halfmanhalfamazing thanks, i finally see some sense. It's dangerous to identify yourself by outward facets such as culture, religion, political affiliation, and the worst geography, and color.

I have a feeling that it's going to take a few hundred years before this is removed from human psyche. Especially with the systematic segregation, but mostly because most humans are just fucking dumb.

but i can relate. soo... i can't cast the first stone

[grannyvonng]

Proud to be a Trinidadian.

[ktrini1953]

pres obama is not prejidis as we trini leave our pres alone i love de man ok

[KrzyCanuck]

Closing Gitmo

Ending the global gag rule

Equity pay act

Barack the Magnificent Indeed

[missFrill]

Sparrow records and CDs are for sale in all larger Caribbean towns. Check the record store. In New York you can get them in Brooklyn or any Caribbean record store. In larger record stores the calypso music is in the "international" section.

Sparrow is the most popular performer so you should easily find his records/CDs.

[trinisocajunkie]

Dominica loves obama

[hotgaleva20]

where can i get the might sparrow

[GeneralGhost]

Guyana loves obama i second that!

[tokpe]

Ever a showman Mighty Sparrow.. I fell in love with sparrow during festac77 in Lagos 1977. was 8yrs old and always danced to his live performance on TV..wonderful memories...

[decode135]

Beyond what the global mainstream media has been pushing, it seems that most people who are celebrating Obama have little idea of his background. I would encourage anyone here to watch the 20 min Youtube "The Men Behind Obama" by Webster Tarpley.

[part2themovie]

he was one of the two candidates in the two party system, which tells me everything i need to know. im surprised so many people are so enthralled with a black president that they ignore everything else. sparrow of all people, should know this.

[trommelbiel]

This song gives me chills. Thank God for Obama. I have never felt more proud being Black until this time.

[oOSamuraiOo]

wholly shit tha Sparrow did a song bout Barrack? Awesome 5/5 stars.

[LadyMamaAlive]

Thanks for the post, very enjoyable!!!!!!!!!!!

[queenann65]

[Sondaycrown]

This is good, the great Mighty Sparrow, I like his message. I just checked out 2 video on youtube by Sondaycrown, NOW Is the Time and Crown Obama. He's a Trini check him out, give him some love.

[termikesmike]

Primo magnificent !

One of the Calypso Eternals,

talk about 'protest' songs ...way to go!

Remember the Prophets : Roaring Lion, Growling Tiger,

Atilla, Lord Executor, Lord Beginner, Carresser, Radio, Invader ....

Rave on Mighty Sparrow !

[Z33B0Y]

foward this to obama!!!!!

[ExodusPessoa]

You should Z33BOY I would but don't know how.

[ExodusPessoa]

Great writing

[mikmbc]

you cannot stop sparrow

[allenchampagne]

Will the new Sparrow CD be relesed before election day? I want Sparrow to have his first US hit in his 50+ career. With all the attention that clown Ludacris got with his song, let the people hear an Obama song from someone who is intelligent.

[sandiazp]

Go Obama!

[thegoldenz]

this is awesome....this is far cooler than any saxophone playin

[ExodusPessoa]

That's a good one thegoldenz lol lol lol lol lol.

[reggaeman1961]

please check my video out "obama row the boat ashore." true!

jah bless, one love!

[phillsop]

This is another great song my the master!

[reggaeman1961]

in any language "obama row the boat ashore."

potent lyrics sparrow. true!

[jmaharaj86]

dis song is from trinidad i dont know u all people acting like so stupid

[Letranger]

If it weren't Trini I'd be worried.

[TinFoil23]

another great song! When america lets go of its cold war thinking and learns to trust him for the sake of our country and future, imagine how spirits will change

[bobit112]

why can`t try this man? Of course nobody can absolutely change the wrong If any but this is win-win situation try him!vote for him.Give a Chance to America and world.

[allicupe]

In line with historical caiso roots, A topical lesson in American civics. It touches on health care, immigration, education, civil rights,health care,crime,corruption in politics,foreign policy, the American image at home and abroad, and even gives a mini bio of Obama. The King is back and he has regained my respect. I say, all hail Sparrow the omnipotent .

[allicupe]

good road march material

[jeytina]

you know that there's a really crappy QB with your same name. you should probably change it.

[beef671]

Shut yuh ass!!!!!!!! Obama 08 man!!!!!

[saintdurel]

Him, "him a fi go get out a town before sun down".

[hjaeko]

shut yuh rass.

[hjaeko]

batty bwoy.

dont be posting, me nuh shit, saying im a nigger.

is that all you can say?

[phillsop]

At 25 you still need to grow in understanding. I think that you should be the one to lead by example and 'shut yuh rass"

[hjaeko]

age 25?

age 25 is what the youtube page says.

im actually much younger,

so "shut yuh rass"

[phillsop]

Younger then 25? Longer to grow and get some understanding. When you grow up then you can stand up and talk to the world. Until then sit down and shut your rass up. and listen. Be a "listener and not a speaker". Listen to what your mother told you BOY.

[hjaeko]

ok so i just realized you were black.

so i give respect.

[agie55]

Lead Barak Lead....

Run tings forever

[trinifun99]

If he was white he would not have such a hard battle for the nomination. He is clearly the best candidate bar none. I travel a lot and some people in the U.S are ignorant about how the rest of the world views this country. Could you see "little Kim" and Chavez dealing with Hilary and McCain- if you don't know who I am talking about my point exactly.

[whitegrandma4Obama]

Stop the War! Vote Barack!

[buntik1687]

See the world wants Obama to steer the United States.

Obama All The Way!

[gloriousrebirth]

Really good song!

[generankin]

Dude! The Mighty Sparrow sings soca, not reggae. Count on the Trinis to get it right!

[allenchampagne]

Leave it to Sparrow to inspire us. I was in a record store when they started to play Matchbox 20's BS whinny defeatist "we're all gonna die" anthem and walked out in disgust. We gotta be fighters and Sparrow's song has me fired up and ready to go. Put this one on the radio and MTV (or whoever shows videos now).

[ramotringo]

Great job Sparrow !!!  Click on "ramotringo" for my Vote Obama soca song.

[allenchampagne]

Bring on the CD. Sparrow can have his first U.S. #1 in his 50+ year career.

[faithl17]

Yeah boy!

Barack The Magnificent!

Obama '08!

[bnaturalkey]

Infectious indeed

[spidergal15]

Oh Lawd Jesus! Barack gwoin be president fe true!! BARACK DE VOTE!

[littlefavoret]

Does anyone know if this song will be out on CD for sale and if so when? BARACK OBAMA IN NOVEMBER!!!!

[tsenaye]

yes Sparrow you capture the political essence of the moment for mobilization and posterity.

Rupert Lewis

[littlefavoret]

The birdie soars once again like only he can do. A masterpiece! Unadulterated kaiso with a truly infectious rhythm/melody! Go Sparrow! Go Barack!

[msdarknlovely1]

The Mighty Sparrow does it again!! Barack the VOTE!!

[Janzirella]

Go Barack Obama!!! My prayers are with you and the ppl of America!

[Johnbull4u]

Sparrow does it again...the lyrics is mafnificient i want him do a song the Rev. Wright scandal smear by the right wingers

[wyndham2000]

America and American will soon be respected around the world once again, change is around the corner. Obama is the greatest motivator since the late Michael Manley. If he doesn't make it in November, it would be the biggest blow for the youths of America. Can you imagine four (4) more years of suffering for the people of America and the world as a whole - big up Sparrow.

[ochibadbwoy]

once again u hit the nail squarely on the head. michael manley was the best motivator & barack a close 2nd. jamaicans worldwide must stand proud because of manley. some people may not like him but the level of consciousness he brought to his countrymen 1972-1980 cannot be described. he was indeed one of the top 3 political leaders during his time. respected by all in the U.N., his efforts helped topple apartheid in S.A. ...the power of jamaicans. may your soul rest in peace michael manley.

[aenosedu]

Great song! very a propos!

[mydovesong]

Thanks for the song!

[lucresia08]

Excellent! Me voting for Barack! Got the change thing moving forward!

[MiSTAViBEZ]

[mopoof]

[MiSTAViBEZ]

[fishgul69]

[duaneolivertaylor]
