Obama for Me! (1960 Kennedy Campaign Song REDUX)

To all who believe in Barack Obama and have faith in his undying ambition to bring change to our nation; to be a light in our darkened world; and to prove that there exists the possibility for a leader with true wisdom and devotion, this video is dedicated.

This video was inspired by one of the campaign ads used to promote John F. Kennedy when he was running for office
in 1960. This isn't to suggest that I am directly comparing Obama to Kennedy. However, I believe that this feeling of change and hope that is happening in America is a subtle throwback to the time of J.F.K. The only aspect about the song that I changed was the dubbing of "Obama" in place of "Kennedy", for which I used my own voice. I found some of the photos online, but retrieved many of them from Barack Obama's website.

I know this video is ridiculously corny, but I guess that's just who I am.
