Obama 08 & 12
Yes we can and we will.
He should dedicate the Emmy to Obama's speechwriter.
Obama is making history everywhere and this is the smartest and most beautiful video with the faces of America. This video brought me to tears knowing "Yes We Can", together we can.
Obama Is Like A Big Rock Star And Mccain Is Like A Big Rock!
McCain preferred small government, which means he does not have to do anything when he is in White House, he will use White House as his retire home, his nursing home with No.1 benefit, his wife will get special connection for her company, simple as it.
Congratulations to all those involved in the video. Yes We Can! Yes We Will!
You go Barack, this video is awesome. There is also a gospel recording by John P. Kee. It is a great too.
Everyone should get a copy
CNN, I applaud you for this one. Just keep up the good work. We love positive news.
