11. Here's some background on the origin of that video:

The Tide Is Turning

Bob Cesca

Posted March 26, 2008

Huffington Post

I have no idea who Roger Waters is supporting in this thing (and I hasten to note that this video was created without his permission), but when I heard Senator Obama's historic Philadelphia address last week, this song, "The Tide Is Turning," from Waters' underrated 1987 album Radio KAOS kept running on a loop in my head.

The song and the speech compelled me to take a break from the snark to assemble this mash-up as a tribute to everyone who has endured this seven-year-long dark ride; and to everyone who hopes that America can and will change for the better.

Until recently, I honestly didn't think it was possible. And even though it's only the beginning, Senator Obama's campaign is clearly our best shot to, at the very least, turn the tide against this seemingly interminable darkness.

12. Beautiful

Now bring on McCain.

[ThatsMyBarack]

26. No, no--FORGET McBUSH!

America needs OBAMA NOW!!!!! :patriot:

Also, what a touching video! Definitely worth another look. :hippie:

[Hulk]

13. "Hope" is what this country needs.....and this man can deliver!

Already more rich oratory has been spoken by this Congressman than America has been exposed to in the last 40 years. Even if he doesn't or won't be allowed to deliver, at least we can have "hope".

The other side is "four more years of mcbush". What hope is there possibly in that future?

[ooglymoogly]

14. Can I stop crying now?....For my country?

Powerful stuff. We Have a Leader and his time is now and our time is now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Progressives unite behind this man. The tide is indeed turning. Beautiful message, beautiful man, beautiful song.

15. Can someone....

....please show me how to post a Youtube video where a "still" from the video is also shown like in the OP?

[UncleTomsEvilBrother]

18. ....well

anybody

[blogslut]

20. That's done automatically by YouTube

Or do you mean you want to post a screen grab of a YouTube video?

[kevinbgoode]

29. I think he wants to post a link. . .and the picture...like the OP did here

I've been wondering the same thing as well.

[blogslut]

30. The DU posting process walks you through it

You have to locate the URL (web address) of the particular YouTube video you want to post. You must also include the actual title of the video. Once you have pasted those two things in the form, you're given a second screen where you can add your own text/comment for DU.

As I said, the image that appears on the YouTube video is automatically generated by YouTube's software.

Is that what you mean?

[ThatsMyBarack]

27. I've been wondering the same thing.

Welcome to DU, UTEB! :hi:

[laylah]

[Johnny Noshoes]

19. Very moving

Thank's for posting this great video. I'm downloading it and saving it now for my growing Ipod collection of videos of the next President of the United States. YES WE CAN!

[JNelson6563]

21. That was splendid!

[katty]

22. wow-incredible!

[graywarrior]

23. Thank you.

[FrenchieCat]

24. Wow!

Well done. The song and of course, Barack's words. :thumbsup:

[silverweb]

25. Beautiful.

The outpouring of creativity in response to Obama has amazed me. I don't thing we've ever seen anything quite like it before.

I see this as just one example of how he brings out the best in people, and it strengthens my conviction that he will inspire the same kind of energy and creative fervor to heal this nation's wounds and solve our problems once he is President Barack Obama.

:patriot:

[kevinbgoode]

28. Nothing scares a wingnut more than hope

They've spent two decades building a political party on fear-and-smear. . .no wonder they fear Obama's message.

[riverwalker]
