3. Baba Yetu by Christopher Tin
Most people might recognize the song from the main theme song from the video game "Civilization IV" by Sid Meiers. The composer is Christopher Tin. Its a beautiful song that uses words from The Lord's Prayer in Swahili.

(From Wikipedia) By far his biggest break came in 2005, when Soren Johnson, his roommate at Stanford and now working as a game designer at Firaxis Games, asked him to compose the theme song for Civilization 4. Tin responded with "Baba Yetu," a choral piece performed by Stanford Talisman, with lyrics similar to the Lord's Prayer in Swahili. It garnered a huge critical response, with over 20 reviewers singling out the theme on IGN, GameSpy, and Game Shark, and is a persistent favorite of blog posts. Contemporary Tommy Tallarico called it "incredible". It won him two awards at the GANG (Game Audio Network Guild) Awards in 2007.


Yeah, I use to play the game. It pays to be a nerd sometimes!

4. He hasn't won yet
and even if he does win, he has to prove himself. His vote on the FISA bill isn't very encouraging.

6. He's still a leader in my book.
The FISA bill was going to pass anyway,
and Obama did vote to strip immunity from it.
and Obama understands well the out of control media,
and he's in it to win.

The only way that he can make a difference
to restore the rights that we lost back in 2001 onward,
is to get elected, you know.

7. I, too, am afraid that's how the title of this video will be read by bashers.
they will take any ammo they can get their slimy little hands on.
