The band that recorded this is the Black Eyed Peas. Ironically their first hit was a song ridiculing the mentally retarded and the handicapped. I'm surprised none of the RNC people picked up on that. Now it's too late.

Republicans just pushed it too far into economic deregulation and preemptive empire building. Even Ronald Reagan was to the Left of the modern RNC. Obama's victory was inevitable. I voted for McCain, and I knew he was doomed for months. Now the Democrats have to deliver what they promised. The gauntlet has been dropped. Good luck.

From what i see you're the racist one. People vote for a president because (s)he appeals to what they believe in. Obama got over 95% of the black vote, that is more racist then a white person voting for McCain. Also for you idiots that say 'There are only 14% black people in this county' Well yea, but there are 350million people in this country. 350*.14=49. If the black vote would've been 60% obama and 40% McCain then the popular vote (which should be how its held) wouldve been won by McCain

OH yeah, Obama is SO rich. Wow he's like the richest senator not married to a beer heiress with a running mate who spent $150,000 on her clothes for the campaign. He's so rich he wore shoes with holes in the soles for months until his staff bought him a new pair. Dude he made BANK as a professor of Constitutional law. Those college professors and their damn wealth. If he wants to spend his money on a gift for his wife then good for him. He can afford it cause he's set for the next 8 years.

According to will.i.am, founding member and frontman of Black Eyed Peas, the "Yes We Can Song" was inspired by Senator Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and especially the speech Obama gave following the New Hampshire primary. He states, "It made me reflect on the freedoms I have, going to school where I went to school, and the people that came before Obama like Martin Luther King, presidents like Abraham Lincoln that paved the way for me. . . ." Dylan says, "The speech was inspiring about making change in America and I believe what it says and I hope everybody votes."

The music video includes excerpts from Obama's speech and appearances from several celebrities: Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta, and Nick Cannon. "I'm blown away by how many people wanted to come and be a part of it in a short amount of time. It was all out of love and hope for change and really representing America and looking at the world," will.i.am said.
