You Tube THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL Yes, We Can! - Si, Se Puede! Song & video, featuring a star cast, by will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas. Inspired by Barack Obama's 'Yes We Can' speech. http://www.yeswecansong.com http://www.barackobama.com/ http://factcheck.barackobama.com/ It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -- Yes. We. Can. Celebrities featured include: Jesse Dylan, will.i.am, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger and Nick Cannon

    As a woman, I am criticized for seeming to go against what my great grandmothers faught for. Not so, as I see it. I, as we should all, need to choose a candidate that represents what I envision for this country. What is inspiring about Obama is not that he is running for office -- it's that WE are running for office. WE - men, women, black, brown and white, young, old, of all educational backgrounds, of all economic status. WE NEED CHANGE. and - YES - WE - CAN!!

    Very powerful and inspiring. Brought tears to my eyes. Made me think of Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have A Dream Speach. It inspired the same sense of hope and pride.

    I feel that if this man does not get into office we are cheating our selves as human beings and as a progressive nation. H Clinton is a white women and if we are to move forward as a nation we have to let the world know that Mr. Obama is the man that will lead us for the next 4 May the Creator bless you
