Moveon is sending out this song, encouraging members to view it and forward it to others. Over 150,000 have viewed it already.

It's quite moving.

Moveon writes:

Apparently it was made independently of the campaign""by Bob Dylan's son, director Jesse Dylan, and musician will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

It really moved many of us on the MoveOn staff. It's worth watching.

or here's the link.

Let them know, here, that you saw it at OpEdNews, and give them a comment on the song and Obama.

Interestingly, apparently to avoid turning off the 30% of members who supported Hillary in their poll, they have offered a link so those members will be put on a list so they don't receive pro-obama emails.

An inspirational leader that comes along rarely

"Yes We Can" does not really say anything, yet I am picking up a subliminal message that, if Obama gets in, he will truly be a leader who inspires. Nothing less will turn this disaster around. Ted Kennedy et al obviously support him, and I believe and trust that they are the good guys ( Finegold, Leahy, etc.) and have the insight to back an inspirational leader that comes along rarely, but sometime when critically needed.

Gandhi said that the good always triumphs in the end.

Maybe this is what is happening at this time.

My goal at this point in my life is to wake up the sleeping American public. Am a lowly public servant who'll likely be working til I'm 65 since universal healthcare doesn't seem to be on its way to our nation any time soon. My spare time is spent speaking out for Peace and an end to war as the solution to any problem our country sees as affecting it.

inspirational leader?

I surely do hope you are right. There's going to need to be lots more truly progressive stands before I shall believe, though....

Brett Paatsch is an Australian born secular humanist with degrees in management and science and an interest in politics. He is a former pro-American that wishes to be pro-American again and thinks the impeachment and repudiation of President George W Bush for the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 is necessary to reestablish trust in American signatures on international treaties and confidence in the global rule of law.

Obama took an oath to defend the constitution

against domestic enemies.

Seen any evidence that he is doing that?

Yes We Can aggressively invade, yes we can torture, yes we can spy on you, yes we can lie to you, and yes you will be so clueless that yes we can get you to let us do it all over again.

Welcome to the government you deserve.

no kidding.

Obama supporters strike me as among the most naive.......

They're still believing that they actually have a choice as to which powers run this now god-forsaken Empire.

Oh yes, I am so inspired. Get real. 'Moveon' ... what a farce.

To Negative Dead Beats,

Richard and You sound alikes on all these comments,

Criticism is so easy, but what are your solutions? Give us a few of your ideas. You don't like Romney, you don't like McCain, you don't like Clinton, you don't like Obama. What are you some foreign terrorist just trying to sabbotage the elections? Give us some altrnative ideas or shut up.

Good night, Rob, has this whole sight degenerated into anarchism. This is close to menatally sick.

Phil.

Phil the solution is impeachment

and the alternative is that Americans support torture, aggressive invasions and a unitary executive theory of the Presidency standing over them as a precedent.

A bit of excrement throwing at Americans jumping on the bandwagaon of ANY candidate that is not supporting impeachment is probably appropriate and interacting with those Americans on a level that they can understand.

Supporting ANY candidate that is already failing to uphold their oath to defend the constitution is self destructive and anti human and anti progressive however the hell one defines progressive.

Any American that supports a candidate not in favour of impeachment I consider an accessory to torture and aggressive invasion.

There is no frequent reader of this site that could claim not to be aware of the importance of impeachment.

If Americans will not uphold the law then the rest of humanity must by logic fall back on jungle law. Morally, contemporary Americans may be about to JUSTIFY terrorism against themselves.

If you want to support Obama get Obama to defend the constitution as per his oath. Don't buy a pig in a poke. Don't buy a bullshit promise and then claim that you were lied to because you did not do your due diligence beforehand.
