I suppose the moderates and conservatives can play too, if they so choose.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"I’ve been working all day on my first pro-Obama music video of the new election cycle!\u00a0 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.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Would you like to help??\u00a0 It’s easy! We’ve done this before here on FriendBurst.\u00a0 All I need for you is to help me find some pictures to put on the greenscreen behind me as I perform the song!\u00a0\u00a0 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.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You can just copy and paste the lyrics below into Google images or Photobucket\u00a0 (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. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll be playing along this time.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the lyrics to the song I just wrote… <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Voting For Obama Again<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

by Joko<\/span><\/p>\n

We elected him
\nin times that weren’t great.
\nThings are still tough now
\nbut they’re better than they were in ’08
\nyes they’re better than they were in ’08<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He promised hope and change
\nThings are still on track
\nWe may still be in Afghanistan
\nbut at least we’re out of Iraq.
\nWell, we’re mostly out of Iraq.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Is it because he’s black?
\nor because he’s a Democrat?
\nHE could be for rescuing kittens
\nand the Republicans would oppose that.
\nThe Tea Partiers would oppose that.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2012 is coming.
\nTime for an election.
\nI’m gonna do what I can
\nbecause I’m voting for Obama again.
\nYes I’m voting got Obama again<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(guitar solo to be played by Billy Skribbler)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

IN his second term
\nWe’ll take away all your guns
\nWe’ll get those death panels rolling
\nand set up those internment camps.
\nYes, we’ll set up those internment camps….what?
\nI wasn’t suppose to talk about
\nthat part of the plan? Oh.\u00a0 I can edit it out….
\nbecause I’m voting for Obama again.
\nYes I’m voting got Obama again.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why don’t you join us now
\nthe future we will win
\nHe’s leading our recovery
\nand you know he got bin Laden.
\nYes you know he got bin Laden.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am not one
\nto be scared and glum
\nI think our future’s bright
\nand our best is still to come
\nYes America is number one!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So I call on you my friend
\nto all the women and men
\nIt’s time in 2012
\nto be voting for Obama again
\nYes, we’re voting for Obama again. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"O<\/span>kay, so I’m off to do some more recording.\u00a0 Yes, as you see up there, Skribbler said he’d help me out with some guitar bits.\u00a0 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!!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
