With Or Without Clinton

So, "With or Without You," by U2, is one of my favorite songs, and Barack Obama is one of my favorite people. I was toying around one morning, and arranged an orchestral version of this song that I was really pleased with, using Sony Acid and IK Multimediaa's Philharmonik. After listening to it for a few days it occurred to me that it sounded a lot like some of the arrangements of popular songs that were used on the "Moulin Rouge" soundtrack, one of my favorite soundtracks. This made me think about adding a vocal arrangement to make it sound even more like it was part of a musical. I told Leneia what I was up to, and suggested that we make it a duet. A couple of days later we were recording in our home 'studio' and I just got this vision stuck in my head of Obama and Clinton singing the words to each other. The more I considered the random absurdity of it, the more obvious it became that I had to create this video. The resulting clip was produced using Sony Vegas for the edits and audio mixing and Reallusion's CrazyTalk for the mouth animations.

Does this vid mean that I'm a fan of an Obama/Clinton ticket? I f you asked me at the beginning of this race, just to find the democratic nominee, I would have given you an emphatic, "Yes!" However, I must admit that after all that's been said and done, I wouldn't be as happy with it as I'd like. Still, I think the ticket that stands the greatest chance of winning in a general election would be an Obama/Clinton ticket. JUST PUT BARACK ON TOP, and let him do all of the work!

Making light of 9-11, how very compassionate of the person who made this video? And the liberals think people w/a conservative mind set are a bunch of dick weeds?!! PLZ!!!

Actually, this comment is proof of your individual membership to the dick weed club. If you think I was making light of 911, then you obviously subscribe to other short bus clubs as well. It's cool though, McCain and Bush can use the company. If I were to psychoanalyse my usage of those 911 clips, I'd have to say that watching them rebuild inspires me; it doesn't make me laugh. Obama's quest for the White House inspires me. Yes, it's ok to mix humor with passion. Thanks for posting! Obama 08!!!

hahahah dude your awesome

What hole has been dug by Obama?? Is it like the hole HIlary dug for herself? Like the blatant fantastic lie she told America RE: Bosnia FANTASY trip? You mean Obama's pastor? WTF!!?? How the F*** can we hold a candidate responsible for everything somebody else says? I am sure that Hilary and McCain know plenty of people that say and DO things that are not politically correct. You sound like you are an avid member of the "brainwashedmasses". Screw the media. Form a substantial opinion.

We don't need lower gas prices . We need electric cars with electric stations. See, "Who Killed the Electric Car"

@kosstheory Actually, I don't think people should jump to conclusions like dove1 did. Its odd how people view it differently. I was moved the way it was done. I like the idea of it going back pre 9-11. To me it was translated as going back and changing shit. Stopping this f'd up destruction of people is making light of it but not in the way I think dove1 meant it. It made light of it that hopefully in the future the gov. will take threats seriously and work harder to stop them.

"(everything he talks about is quite similar to socialism and communism. ;))" no. simply no,.

[7CATALYST25]

lol I think your country is so far right all ready that it is more likely for you to become Nazi Germany, it would take 200 years for Obama to turn your country into the U.S.S.R.

[antiTyph0n06]

fuck obama and all his hippie pussies!

vote for John McCain! he will lower gas prices and bring value back to the U.S. dollar!

[bookabeans]

not necessarily... in response to the comment below... there are plenty of third party candidates that might do much better than obama or mccain ever could if we give them the chance and actually take them seriously

[silvercondouloboy06]

You know, here is how it goes

Black people are gonna vote for Obama cause he's black

White people are gonna vote for Obama to avoid being called racist

and true racists will vote for McCain

god. we are gonna have a liberal in office.

Both Obama and McCain suck.

I can trust McCain to not turn our country into the USSR (everything he talks about is quite similar to socialism and communism. ;))

but I can trust Obama to not turn our country into Nazi Germany

Either way, we are screwed. :D
