This is wonderful. I was looking for the “O’Bama” song (which is a light, happy song, more in the spirit of Charlie on the MTA) and found “Yes We Can.”

While the “O’Bama” song is more for fun, it’s important to remember how many people in the US claim some measure of Irish ancestry. (I’ve got nothing but Irish ancestry.) There are, I’m sorry to say, many Irish Americans who are strongly anti-black; the O’Bama song calls those Irish-Americans on the carpet because a man of obviously Irish ancestry is singing in an Irish bar about “O’Bama” and the audience is delighted.

The “Yes We Can” song and the video are each individually very good, but they were mixed by a genius.

Is Barack going to put this on TV on Monday, 11/03/08, in the block of time he’s lined up?

Better yet, has the McCain/Palin crowd seen and heard this?

If he wins the White House, Obama’s viral video campaign will make the history books. It might already.
