January 8th, 2009 at 18:52:49 Française du Vieux Continent, espérant comme beaucoup qu'Obama apportera aux américains ces changements qu'ils attendent, que nous attendons tous, j'ai beaucoup aimé cette chanson chantée avec tant de bonne humeur dans notre belle langue commune. Chanter en français l'espoir de votre pays, cousins cadiens, c'est très sympathique et très touchant.

January 8th, 2009 at 21:10:43 I think Obama's values fall perfectly in line with my values and I was born in raised in the heart of cajun country. What doesn't fall in line with my morals and values is the use of fear tactics in attempt to persuade the general public to vote republican and agree with GOP. It didn't work this time.

January 8th, 2009 at 22:19:40 My french teacher showed my class this video and I love it. It's easy to understand and as a former resident of southern mississippi I love the zydeco! If my dad was alive to hear this he'd love it too...his favorite type of music was zydeco and he was also very much so a democrat. <3
