Barack O’Bollywood
There are a lot of Barack Obama videos out there from inspirational musical compilations such as Will.i.am’s Yes We Can, to funny movie mashups, like the Star Wars themed, The Empire Strikes Barack and the Rocky inspired Baracky.
If you like Latin music we’ve got Cumbia de Obama, Reggaeton Obama, and Viva Obama (Mariachi), just to name a few.
Well, now we have Bollywood Obama. This video is so weird yet entertaining, and I think the editing is fantastic - great timing with the music. The song is a Hindi song called “Chori Chori Gori Se“. It’s a love song but I found the translation of the lyrics interesting. In part they say, “Can’t someone tell me when will the one who’s coming arrive?”
My 9 year old son just came over to my desk and watched this video. His exact words were, “Wow. That is really creative. You don’t find stuff like that in America.”

A wise and insightful son you have. America is no longer a dominant source of creativity, just one of many.

My son, who is four, tells everyone, “Do you know who I’m voting for? Barack Obama!” We think it’s because it is a cool name like Optimus Prime.
