Kidz in the Hall - Work to Do (Obama 08)

kith.jpg

Kids in the Hall are rooting for my man Obama this election season and they’ve showered him with support in their new song. “Work to Do” was recorded in support of Obama’s 2008 presidential bid, a la Jin’s “Open Letter to Obama.”

Naledge says:

“I happen to think that Barack Obama embodies everything that is promising for the future of our nation and represents the hope I sought to speak on in the song. Being from Chicago, I have seen his rise to prominence first hand and I can honestly say that I believe he is the best option for our next president.”

Preach!

And here’s the video:

[Thanks as always, Matt.]

Good title. Obama at the 2004 DNC:

“And fellow Americans, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, I say to you tonight: We have more work to do — more work to do for the workers I met in Galesburg, Illinois, who are losing their union jobs at the Maytag plant that’s moving to Mexico, and now are having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay seven bucks an hour; more to do for the father that I met who was losing his job and choking back the tears, wondering how he would pay 4500 dollars a month for the drugs his son needs without the health benefits that he counted on; more to do for the young woman in East St. Louis, and thousands more like her, who has the grades, has the drive, has the will, but doesn’t have the money to go to college.”

I remember him hitting that first, “We have more work to do” and getting goosebumps. I’d get them many more times during that speech, certainly the best speech I’ve ever heard (save for maybe his Jefferson-Jackson speech this year).
