Celebrity babies in will.i.am's Yes We Can Song

I was watching the video for will.i.am's Yes We Can Song, inspired by Barack Obama's powerful speech after the New Hampshire Primaries (watch the original speech here), and noticed a celebrity baby among the celebs- former supermodel Amber Valetta's son, Auden McCaw, 7, with his mom. Not only that, but in researching the origins of the song and video, I discovered that the video was directed by Jesse Dylan, one of Bob Dylan's sons.

Other celebrities appearing in the insanely viral video (it's been viewed over 1 million times on YouTube in the last two days) include John Legend, Common, Herbie Han, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, Nick Cannon, Kate Walsh, Adam Rodriguez, Kelly Hu, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, and Nicole Scherzinger.

OPINION: This is the part of the post where I give my (rarely offered) opinion. If you don't want to read it, skip to the next post.

I have to agree with my husband that it's a little precious, but on the other hand, it is very moving. I actually found myself with tears in my eyes. I have never felt this way about a politician but there's something about Barack that makes you hopeful for true change. Tomorrow, Super Tuesday, is a chance to make a statement and a change. If you're voting in the Democratic Primaries tomorrow, I hope you vote for Barack. (And, to paraphrase another politician, if you're a registered Republican, I hope you vote for Mitt Romney.)

Another inspiring song/video is based on another Obama campaign motto: Fired Up, Ready to Go.

Watch Yes We Can.
