Obama or Brown?

Point number one: Well done to the now President Elect Obama and to the American People, this is the first of many things which are going to change the world.
Point number two: Below are two videos, the first is the UK PM, Gordon Brown with his message on Obama Victory and the second is the first speech Obama made after the result was revealed. Can anyone notice any difference between the two? I mean, I know the President is one of the most powerful men in the world but with all the connections between the UK and USA, you would imagine that the PM would be someone with at least a little of the action, the emotion and vigour that Obama has?
A new generation of politicans are needed for the UK, what this historical event has taught some of us is that the US vote for their president differently to how the UK elect but can anyone really put up their hand and say any of the other political party leaders are any better?
We need energy, especially with the world as it is. Watch and you will see what I mean...




Rapper releasing Obama win song


Will.i.am
The star has recorded with Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake

Rap star Will.i.am is releasing a new song and video to mark Barack Obama's win in the US presidential election.

The musician spent election night editing the final version of It's A New Day, which is set to make its internet debut on Wednesday.

The Black Eyed Peas singer said the song was a tribute to the American people and their part in events.

Will.i.am scored a viral hit with Yes We Can earlier this year, in support of Obama's White House bid.

Testimonials

It set an Obama speech to the rapper's music and racked up millions of hits in February.

The song also featured vocal contributions from stars including actress Scarlett Johansson, jazz legend Herbie Hancock and Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger.

The new song and video is due to debut on the Dipdive website.

Will.i.am also asked for celebrity video contributions for the project.

He said: "The whole thing is really for people to leave testimonials... to create a page and leave testimonials on how they feel about this American accomplishment."

The musician, who scored a top ten hit with Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole in April, spent part of election night in Chicago, where Obama delivered his victory address.
