These Celebs Think Barack Obama Can
 

Will.i.am got some of Barack Obama's A-List supporters (and some not as A-List supporters) together to sing/talk along to Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" speech and, basically, express their undying love. John Legend, Common, Scarlett Johannson, Aisha Tyler, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kate Walsh, Tatyana Ali, Nick Cannon, Herbie Hancock, and some people I don't recognize participated. Will.i.am said stars were eager to join in once word of the song got around.

"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.

Dylan and will.i.am say they did not coordinate the production or release of this video with the Obama campaign and the filmmakers say they don't even know if Obama is aware of the video.

Am I wrong for thinking that was kind of cheesey?

I really like this commercial. I think it will definetly get young voters to vote/support Barack Obama. Its a very much motivational, "you can do anything" kind of commercial.

Its not actually a commercial but the Obama folks would be crazy not to run it……

I'm not even an Obama-girl and I fell in love with this. That man knows he can speak. And Will.I.Am turned it into something that will last long after this presidency - it's the modern 'dream'.
