yes we can!
I'm not one to get political on my blog for many reasons but I felt I really needed to share this. What I love most about Obama is that he inspires people enough to collaborate on this beautiful song full of passionate messages that people need to hear. It saddens me when I think about how long it has been that we as a country have felt inspired by our leader.
Americans are wounded and we need to be healed. My heart goes out to this man that gives us what I feel our country needs. This has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with faith and trust in human kind.
Tomorrow is Super Tuesday in some states. Get your lovely booties out there to vote because together we have the power to create awesome change and help to heal this nation!

i came across this yesterday and was moved by the message and the passion. i'm not an US citizen but care deeply about the results of this election as many non locals do. i've read Barack Obama's books and do believe there is something special there. happy voting!
Amazing! Thank you!
Breaks me out in goosebumps.
wow.
first i got the chills from head to toe. you know the kind that happen when you are so moved.
then from the woman signing to the end i was moved to tears. beautiful.
as a canadian, i am struck by the fact that i have never felt moved by someone that i was voting for. i wish i could vote for him!
thanks for sharing this!
Hi Boho girl,
I have been lurking here for ages - I love your blog! I just had to comment on this post - I live in Australia and have been following your primaries closely. We had an election last year and neither of the two candidates were particularly inspiring, but I agree, Obama is. I hope you get a passionate leader in November.

Word!
oooh, i went to the oprah/michelle obama/caroline kennedy rally in los angeles today and they played this. it was so cool. it had me in tears. beautiful!
oOohhh, I loved that!
I have never seen that. It gave me goosebumps and a certain welling up of hope. This election is the most exciting one I have ever witnessed!
I feel so grateful to have an experience in my lifetime like those that I have learned about from our nations history... such as "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." and "I have a dream!". Those were amazingly inspiring moments in our past, yet watching this clip made me feel joyful in the present. We are always apart of history, but this is history worth remembering!
Laura,
"boho's biggest fan on the other coast"
good on him, this is very inspiring and rousing... i could never imagine Gordon brown doing something like this ;-) foreign politics is always so much sexier - look at the French president marrying a supermodel..... x
This clip makes me cry, it's so beautiful and hopeful, which is exactly what the world needs more of. Thank you for spreading the magic.
Amen.
I am not here to discourage you. I will agree in the fact that he has alot of great things to say and the fact that he would not put his hand on his heart for the national anthem really has me pondering if he is the man i want running my country.
placing ones hand over heart is a not a requirement during the singing of the national anthem.
i say this with sincerity and respect.
p.s. 2 out of 3 americans don't even know the words to the national anthem.
this was mindblowing...it made me weep. And made me inspired.
thanks for posting it.
Thanks. Sometimes it is difficult to see past all the smearing that goes on and remember that hope and change and love are a part of politics too.
Thanks for sharing this . As always you inspire.
That gave me chills. I love how hopeful and inspired he makes me feel.
I just saw this on another site and it is so powerful and moving. thank you for sharing...it gives me hope!
wow.
i love, love, love this.
obama has a way of speaking directly to my heart and to my truth and in my eyes there is no better way to decide a leader.
thank you for sharing this!
still sweeping the tears from my eyes...
Yes! What I find even more inspiring is that Will.i.am was inspired enough to create this piece. Such a sense of hope and unity. And the idea of shared word, beliefs and hopes is so powerful. Thank you for posting and thanks for this wonderful place in which you post your lovely and inspiring thoughts and images!
totally agree!
Yay! Thanks for posting this! Hope. Love. Change. Yes...We...Can.
Wow!!!!!
yes we CAN! don't you love this? I do. I think we deserve to be led by someone who can inspire us and not make us feel like crap.
