Yes We Can

On February 2th 2008 a group of celebrities had launched a Youtube advertisement for the Obama campaign. It had given a parallel to Barrack Obama and Martin Luther King speeches and gave it a classy musical touch to it. Hit had shown that “Yes we Can” change and make life better with Obama as a whole. The celebrities had voiced out their support for Obama, but the really question is, will they actually come out and vote. Many times in Hollywood celebrities have proven to be the ones that don’t show up to the voting booths. In the 2004 elections we had seen that celebrities had organized a group called “Rock the Vote.” Where a handful of celebrities had come out and protested the importance of coming out and voting for your candidates. But we all know what really happen to the celebrities that were protesting the importance of coming to voting, it was that they didn’t even show up to the voting booths. So with the celebrities in Obama’s advertisement, will they come out and vote or are they all talk and no show. This Youtube Advertisement for Barrack Obama is it going to hurt him or will it help him. I think it will do both, one it will hurt him because I feel like most celebrities are flakes and use their powers of being in the spotlight all the time to influence people one way or another. I also feel that it will help him by having people that are or maybe looked up to by other people, that way if the successful celebrities are voting for Obama it must be a good person to vote for in these elections. If you want to watch this advertisement, go to YOUTUBE. Com and look up “Yes We Can”.
