I’m a little bit jazzed after making another donation to the Obama Campaign. This time I donated $20.00. Not much, I realize, but the best part is that my donation has been matched by another contributor for a combined total of $40.00. How’s that for unity & teamwork?

Anyways, it got me thinking about Barack’s 2004 speech at the Democratic National Convention, so I dug them up on youtube. Here are both parts of his speech (it’s a long one). If you haven’t watched it in awhile, you should take a look. It’s no wonder this guy inches away from the Presidency … looking back it’s practically a no-brainer.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_We_Can):

“Yes We Can” is a song inspired by a speech delivered by Barack Obama following the 2008 New Hampshire primary, derived from the union catchcry “Yes we can”. The song was released on February 2, 2008 by the Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am on Dipdive.com and also on YouTube under the username ‘WeCan08′. [1] Interspliced with footage from the speech, the song features appearances by numerous celebrities (mostly musicians, singers and actors) in support of Senator Obama’s 2008 U.S. presidential campaign. The song was produced by will.i.am; the music video was directed by Jesse Dylan, the son of singer Bob Dylan.[2]
