YouTube has been a major part of the political races this year. This includes documenting what the candidates have said, hosting debates, and a variety of videos prepared by supporters of each candidate. For Obama, we had Obama Girl and back in July I posted a video of I Got a Crush on Obama along with the opposing video, Hot4Hill. Amber Lee Ettinger, better known as the Obama Girl, briefly flirted with Hillary. Amber has returned to help out Obama just in time for Super Tuesday as Super Obama Girl:

There’s also a higher quality video being circulated for Obama, Yes, We Can:

CNN gives the story behind this latest video:
With just a few days to go before the critical Super Tuesday primaries, Black Eyed Peas’ frontman will.i.am and director Jesse Dylan, son of legendary musician Bob Dylan, have released a new song featuring a host of celebrities and one very unlikely music video star: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
“Yes We Can,” released Friday, is centered around footage of the speech the Illinois senator gave after the New Hampshire primary last month.
The music video includes excerpts from that Obama speech and appearances from celebrities including jazz artist Herbie Hancock, former LA Lakers captain Kareem Abdul Jabbar, singer John Legend, model Amber Valletta, actresses Kate Walsh and Scarlett Johansson, and others.
Wow! This is like something straight out of the Nation of Islam. Truly, truly scarey.
Obama wins this election, I’m moving to Mexico. This Nation will no longer be safe for freedom lovers. We’ll be carted off to the concentration camps by the Nation of Islam.
Eric,
Your pledge is note. If Obama wins we’ll expect you to leave for Mexico.
(For those who don’t know Eric, he supported the authoritarian Rudy Giuliani and thinks that the strongest civil libertarian in the race, Barack Obama, plans to set up concentration camps. He previously worked for Ron Paul and with all his race-based comments on Obama I can’t help but wonder if he wasn’t one of the ghost writers for his newsletter. We hope he likes it in Mexico.)
who has a list of actors in the “yes we can” obama video??? Or at least the actress with the tattoo on her arm towards the end?
thanks
