- RandomEyes, on 10/18/2008, -29/+493if MC Yogi can make lyrics that good for his other projects, this dude has a future. As an avid hip hop fan, and an Obama supporter, this video and song do the entire campaign great justice. Obama/Biden 08! And good luck to MC Yogi, keep it up
- inactive, on 10/18/2008, -19/+377OMG who is this n00b kevinrose submitting an Obama video outside of US Elections 2008??
- NitrousFlare, on 10/18/2008, -36/+363Already voted for Obama.
Absentee ballot ftw. - CUBSWILLWIN, on 10/18/2008, -17/+260Graphics were amazing i the video, but the message is phenomenal. This is something McCain doesn't stand for. Unity. Equality. No separation on your beliefs. This is what I call the good path for America.

- inactive, on 10/18/2008, -8/+61Video about Politics making the hair stand on my back. Damn that's good, and damn I see a brighter future with Obama at the helm of America!
- issaccheriyathu, on 10/18/2008, -46/+93Vote for Change, hope and peace,
And not for Bellicosity, hate and McCarthyism that the McCain campaign stands for...
Even the conservatives in the US have started flocking to Obama.
The Ultra Conservative Chicago tribune has endorsed a democrat for the first time in 161 years.
Next up is Colin Powell who is expected to endorse on Sunday.
The prominent Catholic Scholar and Conservative Douglas W Kmiec has endorsed Obama and has said that Obama is the real pro-life candidate.
It has drawn flak for him and he is struggling with personal attacks against him.
This is a letter of support for Prof.Kmiec on his endorsement of Obama. Check it out. Digg if you like it.
http://digg.com/political_opinion/A_letter_of_supp ... - wisam, on 10/19/2008, -3/+49I took the time to stop the video every couple of seconds and write down the lyrics.
Obama:
Let me express my deepest gratitude for the privilege of addressing this convention.
Singer:
Ladies and Gentlemen,
beautiful intelligent,
friends of all ages, races and measurements,
U.S citizens, Worldwide residents,
Whatever your religion is or sexual preference,
There's no separateness,
One is connecting us,
The planet we inhabit plus,
all the different elements,
And that's the reason we need a new president.
Someone who understands interconnectedness,
and won't go to war based on false evidence.
Who's not addicted to oil and aggressiveness.
who believes in global warming and will fight pollution,
instead of shredding and abusing our constitution,
the candidate in 08,
that we will be choosing,
is Barack Obama cause he gonna offer a solution,
lets get involved and offer our contribution,
vote for hope, join the movement of this revolution,
Obama:
A Brighter day will come.
A Brighter day will come.
Singer:
Change begins when we believe in a brighter day a better way to succeed,
together we can make it better,
you and me, so we can be ...
Obama:
Safe, prosperous and free.
We hold these truths, to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.
And among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That is the true genius of America.
I hold this truth, to be self-evident,
It's time for Barack Obama to become president,
That's why I'm calling to my nation and my generation,
this is our moment, no more waiting no more prosenating*,
we gotta make it happen, time for some action,
it don't matter if your black white asian latino,
we gotta vote for hope and stay steer clear fear,
regardless of the garbage they put in our ears.
talking heads on the radio and television,
spinning the facts, treating us like we're little children,
but even with the propaganda they can't stop us. can they?
because they know when our souls that we gonna stand up.
and let our voices be heard word to the people,
lets make sure this election is fair and equal,
no more illegal war, dieing on a distance shore,
and that's the reason why Obama is who's we're voting for.
He can restore our reputation in the world,
and that's the reason why Obama is who's we're voting for.
So we can be prosperous free and feel secure,
and that's the reason why Obama is who's we're voting for.
Change begins when we believe in a brighter day, a better way to succeed,
together we can make it better,
you and me, so we can be ...
Obama:
safe, prosperous and free.
A Brighter day will come.
A Brighter day will come.
As we stand on the crossroads of history,
we can make the right choices, and meet the challenges that face us,
America, tonight. If you feel the same energy that I do,
If you feel the urgency that i do,
If you feel the passion that i do,
If you feel the hopefulness that i do,
If we do what we must do,
then i have no doubt, that all across the country,
the people will rise up in November, and this country will reclaim it's promise, and out of this long political darkness, a brighter day will come.
Thank you very much everybody, God bless you.
EDIT: I just found this http://www.mcyogi.com/lyrics/vote-for-hope !!! - lcaller, on 10/18/2008, -11/+54As an Englishman and an outside observer I can't comment too much on each candidates policies but it's plain to see how one man more than the other inspires people far more in a positive way.
This was excellent. - joach, on 10/18/2008, -10/+52Beautiful! MC Yogi, thank you!!
- JohnnyKdiggs, on 10/18/2008, -7/+48Dugg for Vimeo.
Dugg for being a high-resolution video.
Dugg for being in widescreen.
Dugg for lack of moronic comments.
Dugg for lack of annotations.
Dugg because Vimeo has never censored Mark Bunker.
http://www.vimeo.com - inactive, on 10/18/2008, -5/+44socialism = mini-communism?
Something tells me you don't know what either of those words mean. - anagoge, on 10/18/2008, -2/+37I'm just curious, but has there been anything before in the history of United States presidential candidates where there has been so much of a grassroots campaign to get someone elected? I'm from the UK and I know little of US history, but I'm really curious.
I think it's amazing that without directly telling people to vote for him, Barack Obama has people, such as the creator of this video, endorsing him. Has there ever been any other candidate who had the same kind of popularity with a large group of the public? - gettempapa, on 10/18/2008, -23/+56You're impressed by this but not by Obama?
- grimlenn, on 10/18/2008, -3/+32Nice catch... didn't even notice.
- inactive, on 10/19/2008, -2/+31everybody report GreyMalkin and block him. he is the only abomination here.
- inactive, on 10/18/2008, -3/+30MC Yogi, smarter than the average rapper!
- inactive, on 10/18/2008, -6/+32Me too, hopefully Montana is a blue state this election.
Obama/Biden '08. - DougChristian, on 10/18/2008, -10/+36Buried for not being able to see the forest through the trees.
- michaelyurechko, on 10/18/2008, -2/+27I watched the video and went and grabbed his album off amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CISIKI/ - Apokalyps2547, on 10/18/2008, -21/+41Vote 3rd party and turn your vote from almost-irrelevant to completely-irrelevant.
- inactive, on 10/18/2008, -8/+28"END THE FED"
I'd vote for anyone that'd do this. Obama and/or Biden support
- The War in Iraq
- The Patriot Act
- FISA
- Socialized Healthcare
- beefed up government entitlement plans
All of which give FED waaaaay too much power. :( - sheldonnbbaker, on 10/18/2008, -9/+29I'd definitely be voting for Obama if I lived in the U.S.. I haven't been as surrounded by the media coverage and such as much in Canada, but he seems like the logical choice and will hopefully put America on a better path.
The times that I see McCain, he just seems to emanate stupidity/ignorance and not know what to do. Throw that in with the "elitist" attacks and the idiots who against Obama just because he's black, and it would be a solid vote for Obama from me.
Not a hip-hop fan myself, but the video was very good. - bongfarmer, on 10/18/2008, -4/+23It be cool if Obama paid to run this in its entirety as a tv ad on election day
Would definitely inspire people to vote, hes already convinced enough people to elect him they just need to show up - michaelyurechko, on 10/18/2008, -4/+23Depending on how fast you read that it may sound like 'abomination'
- inactive, on 10/18/2008, -3/+22McCain is using change as a slogan too.. just nobody believes him.
- inactive, on 10/18/2008, -5/+24I'm not going to start on your political logic, which is utterly flawed. As for small business, if you even watched the debate, small business is exempt from the requirement of providing healthcare to it's employees, but they would receive a to 50% tax credit to provide it. And if you haven't noticed, McCain's policies have called for a pretty big government, including a huge and poorly devised buyout of bad mortgages at face value.
- sulthernao, on 10/19/2008, -0/+18In a word, no. The Bush campaign was excellent in turning out evangelicals, but Obama's campaign blows it out of the water. However, at the end of the day, it's all about who wins the election. So wait till November 5th for that verdict.
- idiotonuni, on 10/18/2008, -50/+68wow really good....well done! im not an Obama supporter but great video!
- FrozenPie, on 10/18/2008, -17/+34Really good and catchy video! But "hope" is not my reason for voting this year, that to me is just a slogan that sounds good, rather I vote for the principles.
End the War
Protect our Constitution
Return to Sound Money
END THE FED - nomonkey, on 10/18/2008, -3/+20I had a republican neighbor say much the same thing, Tony.
Him - "I don't like him. Even the colors in his posters are communist. Like China."
Me - "The poster of his face in my window?"
Him - "Yeah."
Me - "That poster has three colors, Mark. What are they?"
Him - "Blue and red. And white."
Me - "..."
***** idiot. Hey, you'd like him, Tony. - RandomEyes, on 10/18/2008, -3/+19love sage francis and atmosphere. i'm just saying this is good for the campaigh. simmmmmmer down
- Yatata, on 10/19/2008, -3/+19don't you have to send in a photocopy of 2 pieces of I.D for them to count those? apparently you do, and they don't tell people until it's too late.... careful... the system is f*cked.
Everyone needs to check and double check that their vote has been counted.
There should be a database online where people can type in their name and a personal password to verify that their vote has registered and that it's for the correct candidate. If you can pay your bills online you should be able to verify your vote online. That would be a quick way to ensure the electronic voting machines aren't pulling a fast one. Vote, go home, verify online. That would be pretty sweet no? - mastercosby, on 10/19/2008, -1/+17I don't understand what people who make comments like yours are trying to accomplish. You are only making the candidate you support look worse by showing that his voter base is ignorant.
- RoyalHustla21, on 10/18/2008, -7/+22A well made video
- aptanalogy, on 10/19/2008, -0/+15¡noʎ ןןǝʇ ı 'ʎɹǝʇsʎɯ ƃuıʞɔnɟ ɐ s,ʇı
- Ace75, on 10/19/2008, -0/+15Yes, but nothing close to the scale and organization this movement is experiencing.
Obviously, part of it comes from having a great candidate like Obama and America's growing dissatisfaction with the current administration. But the real important piece of infrastructure driving it all is the internet.
This is the first candidate to really fully embrace the internet and its power to communicate, organize, and bring people together. I believe this will also be the first election where this policy of inclusion via technology will really translate into votes. - charm803, on 10/18/2008, -0/+14He's bringing hip hop back to its roots.
The rap and hip hop right now are a disgrace. This is way better and more honorable than Luda's song about politics. - trafficlight, on 10/18/2008, -3/+17I see what you did there.
- JoeVet, on 10/18/2008, -6/+20I'll take Obama's socialism over McCain's fascism any day.
- inactive, on 10/19/2008, -1/+15You again!
I'm 48 and not part of the hip hop generation, but I can be open-minded enough to appreciate the art form, and especially appreciate the message in this video.
