Nov 2, 2009 - I'm not American and I can't put myself in your shoes but i just wanted to say that despite the fact this is a "political" song I like it, I listen to it as a piece of art not as a campaign anthem and i must say Dave Stewart still has very good songs.

Nov 3, 2009 - How quickly we forget the MESS inherited from the Bush years. For those who are complaining, I invite you to read and pay attention to the country and the world before you go to your keyboards with such ignorant statements. Stop with the sound bites you heard on TV and learn on your own. Everything done today for the GOOD of the country won't take form in 24 hours or even one year. Grow up and stop displaying your stupidity. It is not about worshipping Obama! How freakin' stupid are you?

Nov 4, 2009 - The part with Martin Luther King gives me goosebumps.

BOINKINU Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - obama has already smoked half a pack this morning worrying about what is coming in 2010. All those moderate democrats in congress are watching the returns. Guess those health care townhalls weren't such repub manufactured bullschitt after all.

patrickmarlon Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - Bono wrote it right??

lydian49 Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - Why? Obama's not a veteran.

lydian49 Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - Going back to work?!?! How's that 10.2% unemployment rate going for ya?

crixxxxxxxxx Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - 150,000 jobs created since Recovery Act passage. Coming out of a recession, employment recovery always lags behind The Wall St. recovery. This is standard in all recessions. The Stock Market is up 50% since early this year, from 6,400 to 10,200. Sorry, I know how much you righties love bad news for America these days and loathe any sign of progress.

crixxxxxxxxx Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - Also, another 600,000 jobs will created by summer 2010 by the Recovery Act.

lydian49 Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - wow, a whole 150.000 jobs created. that's great, especially considering we have lost 2.2 million jobs since Jan 20th. Is it all Obama's fault? Absolutely not. But, however, he is making promises, and has made promises, he will not be able to keep.

crixxxxxxxxx Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - 2012 is when we can judge how well he's kept his promises and see how well things have improved by then as they are expected to, not 9 months into his presidency. If we judged people like Reagan and Lincoln in there first 1-2 years in office, they'd be kicked to the curb. There's a reason a president serves 4 full years in a term.

crixxxxxxxxx Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - The greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression is not fixed in 9 months, and a complete recovery in such a time frame was never promised. It will take time, as it always does, for companies to begin to hire back employees as they recover financially. Promising signs for recovery cannot be ignored, though, with the October job report showing hourly wages increased as well as hours worked, with less job losses, hinting the worst is over.

iceskater99 Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - i know but the song goes good with vetrons day. :D

jpgeddies Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - Better than the 10.8% under Reagan.

Minionuup Says:

Nov 13, 2009 - You mean the 10% from Carter you dumb douchebag?

Minionuup Says:

Nov 13, 2009 - Speak english you stupid drone fuck..

jpgeddies Says:

Nov 14, 2009 - I may be a dumb douchebag but at least I'm not a lying jerk. Highest unemployment under Carter, 7.8%. Highest unemployment under Reagan, 10.8 %, two years after he took office.

WoburnFootballAllDay Says:

Nov 14, 2009 - how the fuck are you talking about speaking english tht is complete english so stfu biatch

BOINKINU Says:

Nov 17, 2009 - Psalm 109:8 "Let his days be few; and let another take office.

jarbon5 Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - I just wonder who they would pray to?

john102933 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - happy to be a stupid, loving and caring, sheep. Keep on going Mr. President.

Tigercaro Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - Please. The economic crisis had already begun BEFORE Obama was elected. If you absolutely want to blame someone for this (besides stupid people who lived a lifestyle waaay over what they could afford), then blame Bush. Y'know, the guy who had 8 YEARS to increase your national debt by ridiculous amounts, got you into a war that makes you lose hundreds of billions $ a year, and made you one of the most hated countries in the world? And btw, economic crises are normal in our economic system.

AMERICAN PRAYER SONG on iTunes: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=287966214s=143441 RINGTONE http://www.myxer.com/CHANGE or text "CHANGE" to 69937 to get your "American Prayer" ringtone FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT SONG http://www.myamericanprayer.com Earlier this year when I was recording American Prayer, a song I originally co-wrote with Bono, the phrase, "When you get to the top of the mountain, remember me" seemed to take on a whole new resonance, given the inspirational candidacy of Barack Obama. The song always contained one of my favorite passages from Dr. King, which was hauntingly delivered the night before he was assassinated. King says: "I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land!" People long for a connection— whether it is to music, to their country, or to a big idea. Regardless of what happens in November, Senator Obama has reminded millions of people that they have the power to connect to bigger ideas. He is, in essence, the embodiment of a new anthem for change. He has continued King's narrative from what was once thought of as a dream to a reality. I find it especially relevant that Barack Obama will accept the Democratic Party Nomination for President 45 years to the day of King's "I Have a Dream" speech. When we were originally writing the song, Bono was crafting the words in a way that would make people think about the fact that 'America' as a concept was a truly great idea, based on the bedrock of equality. I find it more pertinent than ever to release it now; to the moment America finds itself in, daring to re-imagine itself and its place in the world. When I set out to make a video for the new version of this song, I wanted to honor all of those millions of people, especially young people, who are, for the first time, feeling empowered to voice their beliefs. I wanted to capture how Obama's message of change has echoed across the broad fabric of what is America. To do that, we've cast the film with an eclectic array of personalities, including Forest Whitaker, Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, Cyndi Lauper, Barry Manilow, Joan Baez, Macy Gray and Joss Stone. They appear alongside veterans, teachers and everyday citizens— all of whom have been touched by this simple idea of change. As an Englishman, I'm not an expert in all the intricate details of American politics. But as an artist, I understand how rare it is to inspire a connection to a bigger idea or purpose. This video isn't so much an endorsement of Barack Obama as much as it is a celebration of all those who have picked up a sign, who have registered to vote and are working to make the world a better place. So as Senator Barack Obama ascends to the mountain top, let us not forget all of the others who for the past 40 years have sung anthems of change to make this moment possible. LYRICS This is my American Prayer This is my American Prayer This is the time to finish what you started And this is no time to dream This is the room We can turn off the dark tonight Maybe then we might see American Prayer American Prayer And this is the ground That keeps our feet from getting wet And this is the sky over our head And what you see depends on where you stand And how you jump will tell you where you're gonna land American Prayer American Prayer My oh my Couldn't get much higher Lets not kick out the darkness Make the light brighter And these are the hands What are we gonna build with them? This is the church you can't see Give me your tired, your poor and huddled masses You know they're yearning to breathe free This is my American Prayer American Prayer American Prayer When you get to the top of the mountain Will you tell me what you see If you get to the top of the mountain Remember me LIST OF GUESTS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Dave Stewart Forest Whitaker Amy Keys Macy Gray Jason Alexander Colbie Caillat Whoopi Goldberg Joss Stone Buju Banton Ann Marie Calhoun Barry Manilow Linda Perry Cyndi Lauper Sergio Mendes Herbie Hancock Mike Bradford Margaret Cho Cindy Gomez Speech Joan Baez Daedelus Pamela Anderson Peter Gordon Sierra Swan Nadirah X Perez Hilton http://davestewart.com/
