'Yes We Can'... Get Hollywood Stars Make a Music Video

Having just watched the Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas' Obama "Yes We Can" video, I'm stirred to a couple reactions.

I had worried about this a bit for the GOP, and Team Hillary ought to be terrified. We've seen Hollywood and music stars endorse Democrats before, but this is different. Usually the Hollywood stars screw up and go too far, like Cameron Diaz and suggest that President Bush would legalize rape in his second term.

Because they're used to hearing applause and agreement to whatever comes out of their mouths, Hollywood stars are often terrible at public persuasion when it comes to politics.

But this? This is a substance-free message of "yes we can, unity is good, we have hope and the hopes of children are important," etc. It's practically a self-help video. There's nothing to object to in it because it's entirely emotion.

Team Obama is on the verge of making voting for their guy a non-political, pop-culture phenomnenon. Supporting him is the "cool" thing to do. This video has 1.2 million views right now, and that's just not all political junkies.

The celebrity singer/endorsers include

Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Of course, now we must ask, does Barack Obama stand by the flight record of co-pilot Roger Murdock? An ominous omen for the TSA in an Obama Administration.
One CTU mole, Aisha Tyler. One CTU technician, Eric Balfour (Milo). This suggests that Obama's record on national security would be 50/50 at best.
One CSI: New York lab technician, Hill Harper. Perhaps Obama's Justice Department would be better.
The trollop from Grey's Anatomy who went on to the spin-off. Cheating on McDreamy?
Scarlett Johanssen. She does USO shows, so I won't make as much fun of her as I usually would.
UPDATE: Turns out it isn't Cameron Diaz, it's former supermodel Amber Valetta. They look pretty similar in black and white three-second video snippets. http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MTk3Yzc1M2RhMjFjZDAwMDgyZDg1NmVmNmM5NTE0MWI=

3. Racists in General are Afraid of an Obama Win

It would prove to them and the rest of the World that racists in general are a minority in this country.

4. Didn't the Iowa primary already prove that?

n/t

[fascisthunter]

6. No.... It Didn't Prove so for the Whole Country

but if he wins the nominations and wins the GE, then yes.

7. I'm still not sure we didn't win New Hampsire...

with all of the running out of ballots etc. but that's water under the bridge

8. That I Don't Know for Sure... and I Blame the Use of Machines

as well as the private companies servicing the damn things. Until we all get rid of them, there will always be a lot of doubt about results.

10. It would have been nice to get an early win in the northeast

5. Ivdon't believe the Repugs are afraid of Obama, I think they want him. nt

[LibDemAlways]

11. I agree. The corporate whores are going to bat for him bigtime

now so they can treat him to their version of shock and awe later. It's going to get ugly.

[Thrill]

9. Only the Dems can mess this up. Nominate Clinton and the Repukes make gains in Congress

and there will be President McCain

[OHdem10]

12. Bre'r Rabbit Scared. They want to knock Hilary off in Primary

because they believe they see Obama as the weaker candidate.

[OzarkDem]

13. Yep

We Ohioans know how the GOP works.
