will.i.am’s “Yes We Can” video is now two years old… but its underlying message just got a new lease on life. That’s thanks to a brilliant bit of remixing that contrasts the uplifting message of hope in the original with the GOP’s relentlessly negative message, typified by a single clip from John Boehner’s speech in Congress.
Without mentioning health care once, the way this video is edited refers to last week’s victory for Obama’s health reform legislation by allowing hope to win in the end. Regardless of how you feel about that bill (whether you support it or wish to high heaven there’d been a public option), this is still very nicely done.
