Oh, Come All Ye Liberals, Help Me Make a Video
I suppose the moderates and conservatives can play too, if they so choose.
I’ve been working all day on my first pro-Obama music video of the new election cycle! Back in ’08, I had a lot of fun using my meager musical and media skills to post whimsical political videos in favor of my candidate, and I can’t imagine 2012 will be any different.
Would you like to help?? It’s easy! We’ve done this before here on FriendBurst. All I need for you is to help me find some pictures to put on the greenscreen behind me as I perform the song! Just post them here as comments to this blog, and I’ll use as many as I can in the video. Yes, to give this song more gravitas, I broke out the big, 6-stringed ukulele.
You can just copy and paste the lyrics below into Google images or Photobucket (pay attention to image size, anything over 800 pixels in width is a problem), or find your own key words for stuff that you think would be appropriate.
I’ll be playing along this time.
It’s a fun group thing, and you never know, one video I made for the campaign in ’08 went viral and got mentioned the next morning in an article in the Wall Street Journal!
Here are the lyrics to the song I just wrote…
Voting For Obama Again
by Joko
We elected him
in times that weren’t great.
Things are still tough now
but they’re better than they were in ’08
yes they’re better than they were in ’08
He promised hope and change
Things are still on track
We may still be in Afghanistan
but at least we’re out of Iraq.
Well, we’re mostly out of Iraq.
Is it because he’s black?
or because he’s a Democrat?
HE could be for rescuing kittens
and the Republicans would oppose that.
The Tea Partiers would oppose that.
2012 is coming.
Time for an election.
I’m gonna do what I can
because I’m voting for Obama again.
Yes I’m voting got Obama again
(guitar solo to be played by Billy Skribbler)
IN his second term
We’ll take away all your guns
We’ll get those death panels rolling
and set up those internment camps.
Yes, we’ll set up those internment camps….what?
I wasn’t suppose to talk about
that part of the plan? Oh. I can edit it out….
because I’m voting for Obama again.
Yes I’m voting got Obama again.
Why don’t you join us now
the future we will win
He’s leading our recovery
and you know he got bin Laden.
Yes you know he got bin Laden.
I am not one
to be scared and glum
I think our future’s bright
and our best is still to come
Yes America is number one!
So I call on you my friend
to all the women and men
It’s time in 2012
to be voting for Obama again
Yes, we’re voting for Obama again.
Okay, so I’m off to do some more recording. Yes, as you see up there, Skribbler said he’d help me out with some guitar bits. Lets show those poets they’re not the only ones who can “collab” and more importantly, let’s show those Conservatives that we got Obama spirit!!!
Here’s an example… I googled “things are better”, clicked “images” and got this lovely pic…

I like this pic of Obama. He is carrying the Death Note. I don’t know how he came by it. 😆

For those who don’t know about the Death Note:

….luv the lyrics Joko. Is the song to be sung to a popular tune…so that we may all join in? Ha! Here’s a photo contribution if you wish to use it. It is one that convinced many aussies that Obama is a righteous man & deserves a go… thou we are still waiting for his ‘shout’. (buying a round of beers) 😉
Here’s another old favorite….
the dowm fall of America, George W Bush must be Pleased…
-Freedom is Slavery, Debt is Prosperity! Obama 2012! The Governing Elete are counting on Your compliance…
🙄
😆
I wouldn’t worry too much; despite the fact President Obama isn’t very popular, and would probably lose to a strong Republican nominee, no such person appears to be on the horizon. There’s a slight chance, maybe one in twelve, that Ron Paul mania could sweep the GOP, and he might be nominated to run against Obama, and be a formidable opponent, but there’s ZERO chance that Nude Gingrich, Rudy Ghouliani, Donald “worthless piece of shit” Trump, that “naughty librarian” chick from Alaska (speak not her name, lest she manifest), Mike *uckabee, or Willard “Mitt” Romney, could ever get much more than the 46 percent McCain got.
If I were a Democrat (not as far-fetched as it sounds; I was a registered Democrat from 2003-2007), I would vote for someone who actually stands for something (in the Democratic primary). Like ex-Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska, or Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. Obama is basically just overseeing George W. Bush’s third term. Why anyone who calls himself a liberal is particularly enamored with this militaristic, corporate servitor-cum-public relations-operative, is beoyond me. Of course, the last President I liked was Herbert Hoover (or maybe Coolidge; I sometimes waver on that), so go figure. 😐
YES WE CAN change the US, we can make it worse, YES THEY DID!
Super Obama!
