Not convincing enough

It seems like the only reason someone would like this is because a snazzy tune and pretty celebrities (who should have nothing to do with world politics) mime harmoniously during the actual speech.

And "Yes we can" is derived from "Si se puede"- a quote by Cesar Chavez who was not a slave but an underprivileged farm worker. It is also the chant used by illegal immigrants across the U.S. and supporters for amnesty which (either unconciously or conciously) diverts the American peoples' attention from the real problem with illegal immigration to more unfocused reasoning towards letting it continue.

Nice song, but I need more facts and less bling. Although immigration is not the only problem America is going through, it is a huge problem - and so far to my knowledge Obama has said nothing about it. A major downer in my opinion.
