VIDEO Obama - Only in America (Beauuuuuuuutiful!!)

Okay, this one incorporates the gorgeous video put on YouTube earlier today by the official Obama channel, with a few extra video clips and photos thrown in. I LOVE the way the Obama campaign has taken ownership of 'Only in America', removing it from the grubby paws of George W - so I thought I'd use it as the soundtrack. Hope you like it....it gives me goosebumps! Enjoy.

Is it a good thing?

...in this context I interpret it as echoing Obama's sentiment that "only in America" was his story possible - so I think it's deliciously appropriate.

I've got hair standing up in places in don't have hair.
Everybody, please, watch it all the way through.

This is a great video for those who like C&W (sorry, I don't care for this type of music).

My all-time favorite is still one they made down in Texas during the primaries. I still get all choked up watching this one:

inspiring...
I love it when that song comes on after his speeches...

I get chills every time at the "one just might be President" mark!


Any chance of doing one for "Come on up for the Rising"....
showing him and crowds, parades...gathering folks for this great Rising
that appears to happening right before our very eyes.

As in Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce's 'The Rising'?

that is the one....
it's what he is using now when he is making his way to the stage....

I found this lyrics on the google....attributed to Bruce...

Cant see nothin in front of me
Cant see nothin coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I cant feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far Ive gone
How far Ive gone, how high Ive climbed
On my backs a sixty pound stone
On my shoulder a half mile of line

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Left the house this morning
Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rollin down here

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li

Theres spirits above and behind me
Faces gone black, eyes burnin bright
May their precious blood bind me
Lord, as I stand before your fiery light

Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li

I see you mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
Theres holy pictures of our children
Dancin in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin on the end of my line

Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear ( a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life)
Your burnin wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li

I'll tell you, and I think this is a good thing: What kept running through my mind was, "all those white people love him!"

**sniffs back tear drop**

Thanks for sharing!

...set to a YouTube video like this - let me know! Seriously, I'd love to get some suggestions. I'm working on 'One' by U2 at the moment, but I'd really appreciate some other ideas. Thanks.

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing, it made my day. :)

This is a cool video with Brooks and Dunn's "Only in America" playing..their song was played at the 2004 rnc and they were asked about Obama playing it at his rallies and the DNC and they said they were glad the song was being used by both parties(or something to that effect).

Here's the link to another Country Western song "Bridge To Nowhere" written by the OP Randy Hyden of Oklahoma on DU's Political Videos..

"I redid this video with new pictures. Please watch all the way through if you're a Obama supporter. Thanks for watching."

...although, I'm not too keen on the immigrant-bashing!

Jackeens, you did it again! Your Obama videos are truly wonderful. My heart feels as if it will burst while I'm looking at the pictures and listening to the music playing in the background. And yes, tears of happiness sometimes run freely but that's a good thing.

Would you mind if I added some of your youtube videos to the main page on my AOL/AIM profile? If that is okay with you I would like to keep them on there until Barack Obama is officially announced as the next President of the United States. Unofficially, some of us have already started referring to him as "President Obama"
:bounce:

"Only in America" implies that something can't happen elsewhere. x(

:sarcasm:

I despise contemporary country music.

* Nice video otherwise, lol.
