After Barack Obama’s historic win this past Tuesday, happiness has hit an all-time high! And Will.i.am’s brand new video, appropriately titled “It’s A New Day” shows that happiness in all its many different forms. The video was directed by Ben Mor.
Sidebar: I had no idea so many Obama supporters are GOT readers! In our exclusive election coverage post, which remained perched at the top of GOT’s home page for several hours before Obama’s victory was announced, over 1,300 visitors participated in the poll which posed the question “which ticket did you vote for?” I’m sure several people who are not registered, and who probably didn’t vote, took a part in the poll, but the fact of the matter is over 1,200 votes went to Barack Obama, while only a little over 180 voted for McCain. And I’m sure a few people out of that small number, a few of them took time out of their lives to make hateful comments on our announcement post about Barack Obama’s win. Losers.
Us everyday Americans weren’t the only ones excited last night when it was officially announced that Barack Obama had been elected the 44th President of the United States of America!

Jesse Jackson, and Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas all showed their excitement last night at Grant Park in Chicago, IL, where they were in the midst of a crowd of over 200,000 people cheering on President-Elect Obama.

Rapper Nas and his wifey, singer Kelis, were spotted by the paps as they left Villa nightclub Thursday night in Los Angeles. Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and Kevin Garnett of the Boton Celtics were spotted leaving the club as well. Not sure what’s going on with Kelis, but aside from that glum look on her face, she looks okay from the eyebrows down to her shins. Now below the shins, and above her eyebrows … not sure what’s going on in those departments. I don’t think she knows either. Maybe that’s why she’s sad. At least she took the time to sign an autograph for a fan … how nice!
