pretty amazing; "who's Obama", someone says; "he's a real shining light" ... "his time may be sooner than he thinks", says Neil in 2006

THis video is focused on the future. We all have been sold a bill of goods that are rotten. Lets move forward. This song predicted Obama or Clinton in March, 2006. HERE WE ARE.. Look for Deja VU, a Sundance Documentary on the Freedom Of Speech Tour of 2006, still a vital piece adn NEEDED to refresh memories before we do vote NO to war and government corruption favoring the rich. WE CAN VOTE. WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD! ARE YOU FIRED UP!!??

Holy shit. That sound you just heard was my life improving after seeing this.

@Hoaxandchains You're too blinded by your hatred of people that have different views to realize your conservative party is doing just as much to destroy America. Jan Brewer is fascist. Can you explain why she refused to let an innocent man, by the name of William Macumber, who was deemed innocent in a landslide vote from a clemency board? Sure conservatives want fiscal responsibility. I do, too. Unfortunately they'll shit on our civil liberties left and right. You sir, should be ashamed.

kinda funny because this was before Obama. Neil sings about Obama " he thinks that he's too young". His musicians don't even know who he is

see especially 2:37

that was 8 months ago. Obama has won many primaries, and HERE WE GO.. YES.. WE CAN. Not just one race, not 3 races.. but, the United States of America can take back OUR country. Obama has no lobbyists to answer to. McCain has 7 close lobbyists as 'advisers' to his campaign. McC has had over 160 lobbyists working FOR his campaign. His pockets have been filled. Is this the White House we want? Obama is not BEHOLDEN to lobbyist/corporate sponsorship. His background is FOR THE PEOPLE, not the rich!

well, those comments about shutup if u dont agree with us is the bushie/limbaugh view of 'democracy'--tap the phones and if u got nothing to hide then dont worry about it--they have pissed on the constitution and will be remembered for that.

neil's songs, by contrast, will be played for generations to come.

...maybe it's a woman, or a black man, after all...

I'm just a goofy white guy, but I believe Neil has a right to his opinion, and if you don't share it ... fine. That's cool. The 1st Amendment grants you/us/me/Neil that. But he doesn't need to go back to Canada. What I believe some people are SO afraid of with this song, is he might be right .... "maybe it's a woman, or a black man afterall...."

Think about it.
