Celebrities debut Obama music video


From the new pro-Obama music video.

(CNN) — With just a few days to go before the critical Super Tuesday primaries, Black Eyed Peas' frontman will.i.am and director Jesse Dylan, son of legendary musician Bob Dylan, have released a new song featuring a host of celebrities and one very unlikely music video star: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

"Yes We Can," released Friday, is centered around footage of the speech the Illinois senator gave after the New Hampshire primary last month.

The music video includes excerpts from that Obama speech and appearances from celebrities including jazz artist Herbie Hancock, former LA Lakers captain Kareem Abdul Jabbar, singer John Legend, model Amber Valletta, actresses Kate Walsh and Scarlett Johansson, and others....Dylan and will.i.am told ABC News they did not coordinate the creation or release of the video with the Obama campaign, and are unsure Obama knows about the production.

3. The video is extraordinary, just wonderful! It's been posted elsewhere at DU...

but I wanted to post it here just for the record, and in case any Obama supporters (and I am one) missed it.

2. Plus Super Obama Girl

Yes, We Can is the higher quality video, but Obama Girl might bring in more attention. After briefly flirting with Hillary, she is back as Super Obama Girl:

I've been receiving hits at Liberal Values for months from search engine hits for Obama Girl. Hopefully this leads to people reading more of the pro-Obama posts and brings in their votes.
