@kydrythm he's puppeteering Biden that's for sure. Biden is an old-school Dixiecrat. This isn't his style at all. What he's doing now is "leveling the playing field" Everything he's doing is Obama's MO. Everything he wanted to do but didn't have enough time or flexibility. Obama weaponized the news media, and three agencies weaponized, and created BLM, ANTIFA, (as we know them) and METOO. Biden has turned into a radical leftist/Marxist. Border wide open, food sources under attack, Democracy under attack, and Biden has mentioned NWO, food shortages and Reset. Globalist talking about a NWO and reset, one world currency, and one world religion that is already complete with the pope agreeing to it. Our society I'd divided and psychological warfare has demoralized a big part of society. China says they will own America soon and both Obama and Biden have assisted in it. He no longer respects the constitution and he's tried at least three times to violate the bill of rights. 1A tried with disinformation clan 2A manipulations 4A red flag law 5A Patriot Act 1 sampled from Jan6 and 2 has been being used since 9/11. Plus forced vaccine for a 99% survival rate from a manufactured virus. He's operating like there are no consequences because we won't make it that far before the system collapses. Plus the corruption and lies them trying to nornalize it all.

this video never gets old. the more I listen to this the more I realize that it is John Legend's voice that gives this anthem its emotional power. his singing blends with Obama's speaking in such a compelling way. I'm so happy Obama was elected President. Yes we did!

Who still listening this song in 2022... ✋

Congratulation guys ,you did a great song, you did a great job, .Yes We Can .God bless the USA. México

I live in Switzerland, for seeing all the music, hope and will that was put into President Obamas campain gave not just the US hope but the whole world. This particular speech was for us all the most unbelivable symphony of hope and should us all push to be better people, if Americans or not! The hope and will for change should carry all of us to strive to be better not just for ourselves but for our children and the future! I love this song!

It may all seem so naive now, but just as "I Have a Dream" and "Ask what you can do for your country" spoke to a time when people had optimism and hope, this reflected a brief moment of hope for its time. As I write this, that hope has in fact been smashed by cynicism and despair as it did in the late 60s, but who knows, it may one day rise again.

Thank you for this video, this song, for the hope.

By far the one song/video that can send chills up my spine. These chills are inspirational and utter excitement in nature. The message this song rings, touches me every time and whenever I become weary or doubtful, its the words "Yes We Can" that remind what being an American is truly all about.

I believe he can bring about real change. He seems much more sincere than most politicians on top of everything else.
