An Obama t-shirt from The National band.
The rapper will.i.am was all over the Democratic National Convention last week. He was headlining a big concert in downtown Denver on the night of Obama’s speech, and hobnobbing with George Stephanopoulos at a private Huffington Post panel. He’s famous, at least among Democratic delegates, for the music video hit, “Yes We Can,” that scored Obama’s primary speech. (Among non-delegates, he’s famous for less enlightening songs like “I Got It From My Mama.”) But the Obama campaign is no one-hit wonder.
The campaign’s web team just dropped a new video that leaves Barack behind — “Yes We Can” was all Barack — and turns the spotlight on sign-holding supporters, with music by “The National,” an indie band from Brooklyn. The band is also backing Obama with a “Mr. November” campaign, which raises money and sells T-shirts for the Democratic nominee.
PRODUCTION NOTES: Time-lapse photography sets a dreamy, almost idealistic tone, while a diverse range of Obama supporters discuss their hopes for a more united nation. Several also hold signs promising “hope” and “change.” The production is sleek and professional, matching a low-key instrumental song from The National to images of volunteers and citizens on the move.

The Obama message is one of courage, strength, and unity. Unlike McCain who's message is typical of the repub party. It is a message of divisiveness, classism, war, and opportunity for the fewest.
I am sickened by the likes of limbaugh, fox news personalities and other right wing bloviators who get on the public airwaves day in & day out, spouting their mixture of non sensical lies, hatred and RNC talking points with only one objective….. They wish to assassinate the character of one of the most unique leaders to to prove his credentials since Lincoln.
Our nation will be lucky to be able to call Mr Obama our president and cursed should McCain be able to steal this election too.

How does BHO's message speak of courage, strength, and unity?
How is McCain's message divisive?
As for classism, BHO speaks of “the rich” and “fat cats”, punish “the rich” and “help” the middle class. That is classic classism. McCain speaks of wanting to help all Americans.
Both BHO and McCain speak of war and both want to end it. They differ on how to end it.
How does McCain's message give opportunity only to “the fewest”?
What lies have the right wing bloviators spouted?
Where have any of them expressed hate towards BHO?
As for character assassination, both sides do it. Open your eyes.
While you are sickened by “limbaugh, fox news personalities and other right wing bloviators”, I am sickened by the the majority of the newspapers, news magazines, the network news, CNN, and MSNBC (especially MSNBC) that are in the tank for BHO.
You are correct, BHO is unique. You are incorrect in that he has proven his credentials. Why won't he release his records from Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard? The right wing bloviators are bringing to light his credentials, the MSM won't pick up on it. Many of his supporters don't care, they are voting for him no matter what.
What other election did McCain steal?
Nice talking points.
