One Day to a New Beginning

cynodd showed me this yesterday and I thought it was hilarious. If you love Les Miz and favor Barack Obama, this video is for you:

OMG - That's a masterpiece! *lol* I spewed coffee when McCain and Palin walked in.

I watched about 100 Obama videos this weekend but I missed that one, haha.

And I get to use my "Revolution" icon, even if it's from Schoolhouse Rock about the American Revolution.

Some parts really fit well, like the "schoolboys" stuff, and some parts don't like the "these men who seem to know my crime" part (unless he was supposed to be Edwards or something). :)

Overall, it's not the perfect song to use to support a candidate - the revolutionaries portrayed in the song lost their battle the next day due to lack of support from the common people:

The people have not stirred
We are abandoned by
those who still live
in fear.

The people have not heard.
Yet we will not
abandon those who
cannot hear.

ETA: Although, I suppose it would fit very well if Obama lost as a result of people's continuing fear of terrorism. I don't think that's very likely.

Yeah, I thought about that not winning thing. :)
