Obama DVD w/Oprah, Stevie Wonder En Route

Seriously - y'all need to listen up and be mindful of the right wing static.

By Fred Mills

This isn't necessarily a music-related artifact, but with the Presidential campaign starting to really heat up in areas both absurd - country music yahoo John Rich's inane suggestion that Johnny Cash would be a McCain supporter (Loretta Lynn, yes, but probably not Cash) - and nastily hateful - wingnut journalist Jerome Corsi's attempt to Swift-boat Obama with his book The Obama Nation - we can use all the positive inspiration we can get. Ergo, en route next week from Rockcity Ent/MVD Visual is the DVD Barack Obama - The Power of Change, comprising speeches by Obama and others.

The official press release:

Barack Obama's campaign for president is a grassroots movement powered by passionate and diverse Americans who demand change. This DVD is a collection of speeches by Obama as well as by Oprah, Caroline Kennedy, Stevie Wonder and Michele Obama. Everywhere Obama goes he draws huge crowds that cut across ethnic, religious, racial, class, gender and ideological lines. At 46, Obama would be one of our youngest presidents, and the first Black president of the United States. In his phenomenal run for the most important office in the world, Obama speaks directly to us. He brings his friends along with him to deliver his message of change, hope and inspiration.

The 108-minute DVD arrives Sept. 30, and in addition to the above listed individuals it will feature content from Hill Harper, Tyson Beckford, Mitchell Schwartz, Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West.

No bonus material however: we're looking for that to happen in November.
