I've seen it on a smörgåsbord of blogs recently, but I'll link to a favourite feed of mine, Solar Crash. Black Eyed Peas inspiratorio Will.i.am's musical rendition of Obama's New Hampshire victory speech is a great one. A higher quality sound (the overlay of the musician's music on Obama's voice is fantastic - crank it to 11) can be found here: http://www.dipdive.com/
And of course, check out the speech itself:
I can't help but be captivated by a message of hope. Obama's got a good voice - can he inspire? Can he be the one to take down a generation of cynicism and hopelessness?
Well, I can't fault him for trying.
"We have been told that we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics... We have been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story of America, there has never been anything false about hope." - Barack Obama, Jan 8, 2008 (at 9:25 in the video clip)

Self-commenting...
The star has reported on the music video, good insightful comments.
To quote a quote, "Semi-spiritual, uplifting, a fusion of progressive narrative with religious and emotional sentiment. It's an inspirational slice of the civil rights movement legacy." - Tricia Brown, professor of Africana studies at Brown University
