Yes We Can?

I finally watched the "Yes We Can" video. It's OK. But the introduction by will.i.am (on the leftmost column of the official site) destroys the whole message by being whiny, self-absorbed, self-indulgent, and relentlessly negative.

But despite the claims I saw on Instapundit this morning, I don't see any similarity at all between the words in that video and the lyrics of "Cult of Personality." (here's the latter if you feel like rocking out.)
