I found this political video, which supports Obama, to successfully show that political leadership can inspire and rally a tired and cynical generation. Moreover, I was impressed at how the sampling of Barack’s speech from New Hampshire turned into such inspiring a song. I found the creation compelling and, to a large degree, authentic and honest. Although a significant amount of professional insight went into crafting this video and song, I see genuine hope in most of the singers. This is simply a political marketing tool. This creation shows real people working to support their beliefs and hopes. The work is powerful.
My only reservation about this video is that Scarlett Johansson, who is working to embark on a singing career, is featured heavily because of her celebrity and not her vocal talent.

Also, for those of you who haven’t caught it, “Yes, we can” is a slogan that has been popular and potent since the 1960s. Have a careful listen to The Beatles All You Need is Love for the citation.
