A Song For Obama
Filed under: Music Minute > Barack Obama
Barack Obama has had more tribute songs written about him than anyone else in recent memory.
That's a major compliment.
He's an inspiring leader!
Music superstar Dave Stewart has assembled a team of celebs to appear in the song he wrote and produced for the Democratic presidential nominee. The clip features such stars as Pamela Anderson, Macy Gray, Forrest Whitaker, Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, Joss Stone, Barry Manilow, Linda Perry, Cindy Lauper, Margaret Cho, and even Perez makes a brief cameo!

Perez what did you do to get in on this?? I'm not even sure if you like Obama.
OBAMA 08!!!!
p.s.: all these "stars" showing their support for Obama just further fuels Mccain's attack that he is "the biggest celebrity in the world" (and according to his latest campaign ad, even bigger than Jesus??) I wish celebrities would but out of this and leave it to the people who really count. It's the everyday, working class people like us that truly need a difference in this world!!
Re: sweaterpea – Perez is two faced. Didn't you know that???
THEY ACT LIKE THE WORLD IS GOING TO END IF HE ISNT PREZ?
I LOVE HIM AND EVRYTHING BUT DAMN
perez prob ruins it with him and his green hair….
Someone please gag me with a frozen cock! WTF is this? Obama day on Perez? I'm over this creepy clown. Give me Brangellina news!!!
He's inspiring, that's for sure. Like Britney or Hitler. But he sure ain't no leader. Give me anything he has fought for or shown any leadership qualities. FISA? NAFTA? Public financing? Abortion? Gay rights? Iraq?
Btw I still find it interesting how english artists endorse american politics. Joss Stone?
Re: sweaterpea – Actually…Perez has a different face for everyone he's around.

Paris hilton just blogged Andy…..check it out!
Ok lots of weirdos in the video!! I guess the point is made that Obama is for all people no matter how much of an outsider you are?

So a whacked out no experience radical organizer gets fan songs from looney left Hollywood? Yeah, what an inspiration. He's the joke of the year. What's that sounbd? Oh, it's his poll numbers dropping like rocks.
Obama 08
Learn the truth about McCain!

I kinda of sick of this celebritiy singing for Obama crap. Its like vote for him if you agree with what he is going to do for this country, yourself, and what he provides, I believe in no way someone should be influeced to vote for a president by a celeb.
celebrities can do whatever the hell they want. you guys are just jealous mccain's too much of a dud to inspire any time of media to promote him. sorry!
Celebs are also inspired by Scientology so who fucking cares. And what does MLK have to do with anything?? I was hoping they sampled Eazy E…"Eaze nigga puhhleez don't step to deez REAL MUTHA FUCKIN G'z"
TOO MUCH!
this was so good, i was tearing up at my desk. SO GOOD!
LOVE IT!!!
Loved the song.
=)
Joss stone isn't even American..wtf??
Re: abercorey – Nope, but thak goodness it was a bried cameo.
sounds like his ex Annie at the beginning…
Willy Hutch got it best: "brother's gonna work it out…."
amazing.
Perez is a follower. You used to always make fun of Obama. Obama does not like Gays.
Re: Andy27 – ***brief
He's lame. How does this me want to elect him as president?
An inspiring leader? Leader of what? Of his small church community in Chicago?….Barack Hussein Obmama is a self centered egotistic man, ass kissed by Hollywood and all the left in the music business. His mayor accomplish is reading the telepromter and his business associations, friends spiritual leader and wife all paint a picture of a very radical man who really dislike United States of America. Check those and specially check his voting record in the few months he was in Congress. Pathetic.
You Perez can writte and kiss Obama's ass all you want. But he will not be the president of this country. Why? Bacause he can't.
TOO MUCH! Just because he is a black man doesn't mean he should be compared to great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. He hasn't changed the world, he has made seemingly empty promises that seem to attract Hollywood celebs (shocker!) and his contribution has yet to be justified. Until he proves himself a worthy leader, people need to stop treating him like the messiah and start realizes that "yes, we can" was tagged to great buz not to create change…
Amazing video! I have chills….lets go, get out and vote for change!!!!!!
*Canadian Chick*
Our government (canada) is changing for the worse. We are adopting more and more "american" views. Please change so we can follow.
That song reeks.
Yeah, I like Barrack, but this is so sappy and bad that it kinda makes me want to vote for McCain. Forest Whitaker's facial expressions look just like the ones on those starving kids in Africa. Self aggrandizing a-holes!
i love it!!
Re: karencarpenter –
you are creepy. and what's with having to use carpenters song names in almost every post?
WOW THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL,I FEEL SO PROUD TO BE PART OF THIS GENERATION JUST SO THAT WHEN IM OLD AND GRAY I CANT TELL MY GRANDKIDS THAT I WAS ALIVE WHEN AN AMAZING MAN WAS ABOUT TO RULE OUR COUNTRY,,,THIS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES…..HES HOPE,PEACE,CHANGE,AND LOVE.I ADMIRE HIM.
Any way to get people to vote is a good way, but this is a very good one ! I sure hope Obama wins, although I also fear that he'll then end up like Kennedy and Martin Luther King…
Imagine calling a guy who has 146 days of experience in the Senate and is nothing more than a Community Activist from Chicago (a la Al Sharpton) as an inspiring leader who people write songs about. What a joke Hussein Obama is. He is no leader. He's not even a good bathroom attendant at Club 21. Go McCain!!
I thought you were team Hilary!
I am on team RON PAUL!
CHILLS!
OBAMA '08
Love it! Too bad a guy from Scotland had to come up with that. Also, too many blacks in the beginning, it will scare the voters that are affraid the minorities are taking over the country.
wow. what a good video. thanks for posting that. i almost teared up a little bit. i'm so grateful for obama. this country really needs some help and i believe he can help us get better and come together as a whole. i don't feel that from mccain. not one bit

That was so beautiful! I am praying and crying!
What I like is the message "when you get to the top of the mountain … remember me". All politicians seem to have forgotten their voters once the are in the red pluche !
loved it
Celebrities!! Is there anything they don't know?
Fuck you fat Perez and your libtard bias.
Thats a good thing you did right there Perezito precioso. Besos.
