Solid As A Rock, Barack Obama (2004 Obama For Senate Theme)

This song is 'Solid As A Rock, Barack Obama', the 2004 Obama For Senate Theme, from the Obama Campaign. There is currently no documentation available online of who the musicians are that performed it.

It seems to have first debuted on the Barack Obama campaign float in the August 10, 2003 Bud Billiken Parade in Chicago, Illinois. It was later made available on the obamaforillinois campaign website, around March 2004.

I put together this video for it using 34 cool Barack Obama photos; 26 photos of Obama-inspired 'street art' murals, stencils, and posters; a cake photo; and a photo of a Hope sign carrier running in Iowa.

The artwork is located in: San Francisco, California; Oakland, California; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; New York City, New York; Altadena, California; Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Chicago, Illinois; New York City, New York; Houston, Texas; Longmont, Colorado; San Francisco, California; Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; Los Angeles, California; Santa Barbara, California; Los Angeles, California; Portland, Oregon; Denver, Colorado; New York City, New York; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Los Angeles, California; Savannah, Georgia.


LYRICS:

If you're concerned like I'm concerned
About the outcome of our future
You're ready to move forward
And tired of things being like they used to
It starts out with a vision
And we have to lay the foundation
More jobs, more opportunities
And quality education
With Barack, Barack Obama
(Ooh, say it again)
He's solid as a rock, Barack Obama

If you believe like I believe
That children are our future
You're ready to move forward
And tired of things being like they used to
It starts out with a vision
And we have to lay the foundation
More jobs, more opportunities
And quality education
With Barack, Barack Obama
(Say it again, say it again)
Barack, he's solid as a rock, Barack Obama

If you believe, you can achieve it
Barack, oh don't you know, Barack Obama
If you're concerned with your community
Obama, Obama
Come on with me
Obama, Obama
To the future
Obama (ooh yeah), Obama (ooh), Obama
He's solid as a rock, Barack
Come on with me, come on with me, Barack Obama
We can save our community
Barack, Barack Obama

This is very inspirational and I am very excited, as a student of International Relations, at the prospect of Barack Obama as U.S.President, because of the obvious potential improvements that would be achieved in diplomatic efforts to bring the world closer together in greater tolerance and understanding, and to finally bring to an end unnecessary and unjustified hostility in certain parts of the world.

Maybe not 25% but McCain certainly got the rasist vote.

[Visionaut]

search youtube for -- Barack Obama - Music Video - "Maybe In Time" -- for another great rock video

[octoron85]

Obama looking good in that cowboy hat.

[ComingPeace]

Peace sunrise with Obama

[foxilocks2007]

OBAMA/BIDEN for our future!

[johnnyreverb]

Just my opinion, but I believe 25% or more of McCain's votes will be because Obama is black......Obama will still win by a large margin in ECV, and popular. I can't wait

[WebSoulMan]

I LOVED it!! I am holding back the tears. We NEED to get him into office. He IS our ONLY HOPE for the future.
