Silicon Valley Executive Sticks Up for His Hillary Video
The kitschy yet catchy tribute to Senator Clinton video made by Gene Wang, a Silicon Valley success story and amateur musician, dubbed “Hillary4U&Me ” at first went largely - unnoticed until last week when it started making the blog rounds Then came the backlash, reports BitsBlog
"A blossoming chorus of critics is calling the song “cringe-inducing,” and saying that it could do more harm than good for Clinton. Some conspiracy theorists have even posited that the video must have been secretly created and planted by Obama supporters intent on damaging his competitor through song.
He said he’s willing to concede that he may not have the star power of will.i.am’s Obama-backing crew, but he’s sticking by the song’s larger themes.
“I do agree that some of the Obama videos are better. But we have the better candidate by far,” he wrote in an e-mail message. He added: “For all the naysayers, I’d like to see their YouTube music video.”
