To those watching this video who appreciate it, thank you. But his video is about my feelings about poverty and homelessness and apathy and who I want to be President. I used a song that I found moving. If you are not an Obama supporter, that's fine. You can appreciate the message and vote for whomever you prefer. The tag is my choice only. Please do not turn a labor of love into a Clay Aiken discussion or a political argument. Please just feel and care. Thank you.

This video is in the News & Politics Category... I love Clay and the song. But not the naive implication that Obama will save the world. What did he do as a Jr. Senator? Let's don't idolize politicians.

[AshFoals]

This is not a Clay Aiken video - I liked his vocals on a heartfelt song. Please grasp the concept that this is MY video and I support Obama and believe his message of change is what this country needs. It's in News & Politics because it's my political statement. Its not a music video for Clay Aiken fans. You are free to support your choice for President but it is silly to argue on a youtube video about MY choice. Don't vote for Obama if that's your choice. No hard feelings.

Wow! Everyone should see this.

Not so sure about putting Obama's name with it, though. Is Clay endorsing Obama? I know

he's said he was democrat and all, but....

[AshFoals]

No - this isn't an official endorsement obviously - I'm endorsing Obama and thought the song fit beautifully with the message.

Who is singing this?

Song is written by Don Mescall and sung by Clay Aiken.

Just for a little bit of fun facts. This song was written by an Irish artist Called Donal Mescall, Not by Clay Aiken. It was written about a car crash on the motorway between Limerick and Dublin where a father and two children were killed. He wrote the song after thinking what if it was his family. Just thought the man behind it should get some of the credit here :) and jus so noone says anything i don't know anything about American politics so that's the reason I've passed no comment on Obama.

What a powerful song.... GRACE OF GOD from Clay Aiken's latest album "On My Way Here" - terrific cd with great original songs of many genres, produced by Sting's multiple Grammy-winning producer & the studio musicians are none other than the Steely Dan band!

And btw.... YES WE DID!!!!!! Barack Hussein Obama is now our next President & the haters can all suck on it! LOL!

[lurkerchic]

Very moving! I know this seems raidcal to some but I'd love to see this play as an Obama tv ad in some of the more liberal/blue states. I think it would help get more of those who may be ambivalent "out to vote". At least one way or another, it may stir some emotions! USE YOUR VOICE! (tm Clay Aiken)

[Bluemusica]

Thank you for such a beautiful song! The images are very meaningful as well.. As a songwriter, I love lyrics that touch the heart. And your lyrics should be sung by all.

It is only for the grace of God that we all ...live.

Check out my song Be the Change-Aki Antonia and drop a

comment if you like. Peace & VOTE!

Actually, your account of the hospital visit is straight from the McCain campaign distortion playbook. The Obama campaign originally planned a private trip (no media) to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany to visit wounded troops, but canceled it to prevent the perception of politicizing our troops. As reported on the network news, this claim by the GOP is simply not true.

McCain fought the recent GI benefits bill, until the last minute so that President Bush could praise him.

i would never vote for obama. being a vet myself and seeing him vote down funding for the military. some of us didnt have bullet proof vests. some didnt have goggles and other supplies. it was just a huge mess. then recently when he refused to see the troops in the hospital because the cameras werent allowed in makes me want to throw his ass out of America. you dont have to agree with me, this is just my opinion.

[JamieAiken919]

This song is perfect for representing Obama's vision for America. I love Clay and I'm fully supporting Obama for President.

OBAMA '08

[elricbrat]

This is a very well made video played with a very touching song. Good message. I'm not from the US but much of the many crises happening in my part of world is almost always linked to every other event going on elsewhere. I do admire Obama a great deal more than any other current presidential candidate. I hope that the American people will choose rightly and vigilantly for a true progressive leader.

Wish UNICEF would adopt this song as their 'theme' song. Especially since Clay is an Ambassador for them (Official Title: Amabassador For The Education Of All Children)and he just toured Somalialand this week for UNICEF. BTW, this song is on Clay's incredible new cd: On My Way Here.
