1. This is ridiculous! If this is what people think is funny, then we are really in trouble. He is a family man--I feel sorry for his wife and kids--if he was white, this type of video wouldn't exist!!! Wake up people!!!

2. Of course a video like that is popular but I think it would do just as well without Barack Obama she can make one for Gravel that would work just as well. Saw parts of the video the sound was not on but I got the idea, Hire attractive girls to distract America. I have been calling Barack Obama a racist and invite him to sue if I’m acting in bad faith. I say there is a reason a former civil rights attorney does not run for president with civil rights as a main issue and if you are a Hispanic American from the state of Illinois this concerns you. It can be verified having already been placed on repeated formal notice Barack Obama has taken no action to stop or even call for any investigation into IDHR & EEOC’s discriminatory practices that mistreat, harm , and prevent Illinois Hispanic American complainants from fairly & fully exercising their legal right to assert the exact same claim of discrimination based on RACE that other nonHispanics are allowed to by IDHR & EEOC. There can be no dispute that since 2004 I was and still now am not being allowed to assert & memorialize a claim of discrimination based on RACE on formal official “IDHR & EEOC” charges of discrimination with IDHR & EEOC focusing instead on manipulating the charging process by IDHR & EEOC repeatedly pressuring me to sign (upon threat of dismissing my charges) only IDHR & EEOC prepared “IDHR & EEOC” charges of discrimination in which IDHR & EEOC never memorialized my clear unambiguous claim of discrimination based on RACE that I have always maintained against Hormel Foods Corporation & UFCW since 2004. Even to date IDHR & EEOC have not provided me any state law or state rule and/or federal law or federal rule that excludes and/or prohibits any Illinois Hispanic American citizen from asserting and memorializing a claim of discrimination based on RACE on formal official “IDHR & EEOC” charges of discrimination at the agency IDHR and/or at the agency EEOC. Despite bringing this to Barack Obama’s attention Barack Obama and his office having full knowledge and understanding has continued to ignore the fact that I, one of his Illinois Hispanic American constituents, is unlawfully being treated unequally by IDHR & EEOC. IDHR & EEOC (For instance but not limited to) has attempted to dissuade me, an Illinois Hispanic American citizen, from filing charges, misrepresenting facts in the public record, and IDHR & EEOC is excluding & denying me , an Illinois Hispanic American citizen, a fair & full opportunity to memorialize my assertion of discrimination based on RACE on formal official “IDHR & EEOC” charges during the charge process without IDHR & EEOC ever providing in a clear straightforward honest manner an actual written legal justification that shows under what actual discriminatory Illinois law and/or federal law allows IDHR & EEOC to exclude any Illinois Hispanic American citizen from fairly & fully exercising their legal right to assert the exact same claim of discrimination based on RACE that other nonHispanics are allowed to & enjoy as matter of record at IDHR & EEOC. As a result of Barack Obama’s failure to insure that his Illinois Hispanic American constituents are not being prevented from fairly & fully exercising their legal right to assert discrimination based on RACE at the agencies IDHR & EEOC and Barack Obama’s failure to even call for an investigation to immediately redress this serious matter Barack Obama is effectively aiding and abetting Race discrimination, obstructing justice, and shielding Hormel Foods Corporation & UFCW from ultimately being held accountable for Hormel Foods Corporation and UFCW (for instance but not limited to) violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by subjecting me an Illinois Hispanic American citizen to discrimination based on RACE. The fact and truth of the matter is Barack Obama can not deny that I one of his constituents, an Illinois Hispanic American citizen, brought to his attention that there is substantial evidence about IDHR & EEOC interfering with my right for an investigation into my claim of discrimination based on RACE against Hormel Foods & UFCW from ever being conducted to date. Because I , an Illinois Hispanic American citizen, have the audacity to believe I am equal under the Laws of the United States Of America I refuse to believe IDHR & EEOC, Hormel Foods Corporation & UFCW (Despite Barack Obama’s inaction) are above the law and will not ultimately be held accountable for the above mentioned actions.

6. Not for one minute should anyone think Obama or is advisors didnt have anything to with this. This a marketing ploy for the black vote. Hell they even give you hints in the story.( a 32-year old ad executive, and an aspiring actress). Its a pretty slick move. The actual hook to the tune is name, like they are trying to drill it into your head. I think he is another clinton waiting to happen. Fred you better call some of your Hollywood buddies & country stars. Just make sure you have them say they are no way connected to you

Mike at 10:00AM on Jun 15th 2007

7. Oh yes this girl is definetly going for the monica crown. I bet if Obama was white she would still make the same video I saw no rap to this. nice bud!!
Lucky Obama you go....

8. Thats@#$!&ed up to stoop so low just because they dont want a black president. But Im not suprised one bit though. I know alot of people would literally bust a blood vessels if he won. Just pathetic and ignorant

9. Chaos45i I am interested in what Senator Durbin stands on your "issue" You attacking Obama in this way is just another form of...(if you really consider or even are Hispanic) another form of Minority on Minority bashing. Get a clue to who is really oppressing you...don't be a fool. Senator Durbin is harsher on immigrantion laws and rights for hispanics than Obama. You think he's on your side..HA HA HA!!! Get A CLUE!!!!

Southern_Gal at 12:49PM on Jun 15th 2007

10. Uh Mike...you obviously have no blk friends or have never spend 10 seconds in the company of any person of color with any amount of education and pride. What about this ad would appeal to the blk vote? A white girl dancing around, trying to hint that she is the woman he wants. Why would any blk people want to see that crap? Especially when he is married to beautiful black woman with kids? That makes no sense...if their is an Ad that comes out with a pic of Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers or Malcolm X then he their some one trying to appeal to the blk vote...not this disrespectful video!

11. I think many people are reading to much into this video. Baraka's people have not even commented on it and you know why? Because this is insignificant and they have a real campaign with real issues to tend to. Mike and chaos45i need to learn that if they are going to be conspirital, they need to do more research. Southern_Gal and Andrew are about the only ones that make sense here. Baraka could careless about this video and the people who made it seemed to have made it for pure entertainment. That young lady probably does not even care about Baraka or politics for that matter. Like I said, reading to much into something so insignificant.

Mari at 2:18PM on Jun 15th 2007

12. To Southern_Gal: So glad you asked. Dick Durbin is just as Racist and has also been placed on repeated notice but He is not running for President only endorsing his good friend Barack Obama.

Chaos45i at 2:42PM on Jun 15th 2007

13. A beautiful girl like this supporting your campaign can only help. She's hot, but Obama unfortunately was not. He was last seen discussing policy with Gen. Colin Powell and Colin is still in the Republican camp. I think Obama jumped the gun. You can't win the Democratic nomination as a Republican. Hillary is about to learn this the hard way. There aren't enough angry females in America to vote Bill Clinton back into the White House. There aren't enough angry Cosby Blacks to vote Obama into the nomination. If Obama doesn't do better in the next debate, then it's clear that he's running for #2. He'd be lucky to get it with his name, his speech impediment, those ears, and being untested. Blacks have been on the sidelines way too long. Obama can play a role, but this election isn't about anger. Bush isn't running as of now. The Republican will be as fresh as he is, but much stronger on security. Obama has done little in the Senate to give America a reason to vote for an untested Dove. That song helps with women, but their vote will be determined by attrition. Chicks dig Speedos.

14. To Mari: ObamaGirl can not exist without Barack Obama allowing it. The makers plan to use ObamaGirl much more and "Use" is the best word to describe it. Barack Obama is racist but until he denounces further use of women for political gain Barack Obama in the race to become president certainly is sexist as well.
