   The video titled "Yes We Can," is a response and voiced over music video on the speech of Barack Obama. The Video used Voice over and song to reiterate and give power to the speech using a type of Rhetoric known as Anaphora by repeating the phrase "Yes We Can."

Since there is more than just one person talking and saying "Yes We Can" over and over again with many people one the front. The viewer may be more inclined to think that maybe "We Can" make a difference. A sentence from the speech and lyrics state that the voices of millions of people can move a nation so to speak saying "We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in our way of the power of millions of voices calling for change."
