For a New Generation, Obama Video Evokes Dream of the Past

It's a multi-culti, viral moment, calculated specifically for the YouTube Generation and riding the wave of Obamamania right on time for Super Tuesday: acoustic guitar, black-and-white footage, rapper will.i.am., sporting a fedora and looking thoughtful, crooning softly against a backdrop of Barack Obama's rousing concession speech on primary night in New Hampshire. Add in an eclectic contingent of celebrities -- John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Scarlett Johansson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- echoing key Obama phrases in English, Spanish and Hebrew.

Mix. Repeat. Add in more faces and voices, layering them one on top of another, chanting "Yes, we can" in an emotional crescendo. Fade out with the words: "Hope. Vote." .......

Obama's Jan. 8 New Hampshire speech had nothing to do with losing. Will.i.am, the frontman for the Black Eyed Peas, said the speech shoved him off the fence and inspired him to make the video. "That speech made me think of Martin Luther King . . . Kennedy . . . and Lincoln . . . and all the others that have fought for what we have today," he wrote in his blog, Dipdive.com.
