"Yes, we can" Video Response

President Obama's speech on it's own is powerful and moving in its own but the video from Will.I.Am gives it a lot more power. Obama has pushed for one thing since he was elected, change, that's been his number one goal and the speech portrays that as well. However in the video with the addition of music, actors and their voices and the written words gives a stronger connection to us. Music naturally gives anything more power and connectivity to people, that's why so many people enjoy certain songs. Whether that be Christmas carols or Rock and Roll or Country  or Hip Hop. To each their own. Yet the video gives us a personal connection because it uses people we know, who we look up to or people we know that are in that situation and they're all speaking to the same thing. Change and yes we can. The words that are highlighted on the screen also gives it more power because it highlights the most powerful words and the words that the speech centers on to emphasize them.
