Obama in Red and Blue (on YouTube)

I decided to upload an incomplete version of my little Obama video to YouTube just so it could get more views. I really want Obama to be our next president, and I get a little worried that people will think he is going to win and feel like they do not have to do anything to support him. I hope he does win, but I will be holding my breath until election night. I just hope everyone goes out and votes! I think the better the turnout, the better chances he has to win.

Here is the incomplete video of Obama in Red and Blue ...

Obama in Red and Blue (incomplete)

It is incomplete because YouTube videos can only be 10 minutes long, and the song, "Rhapsody in Blue", is longer than 17 minutes.

I'm surprised that I have never posted this song before. Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" is one of my favorite songs ever, and it was mentioned in the Stephen King/Peter Straub novel, "Black House" (which was a sequel to "The Talisman", which King also wrote with Peter Straub), and I looked it up after reading about it. It's a very calm, laid-back oldie, but it has tons of charm and class. Here is some info on Hoagy Carmichael. There are tons of covers of this song.

Here is Nat King Cole's version of the song, which is good, but not as good as the one above (in my opinion) ...

Here is Harry Cool's (I think that is the right name) version ...
