Go rock, Obama! Outtakes of Orison trying to say that pesky first name.
Despite my dictatorial directorship, Orison persevered through yesterday’s arduous video shoot:
I paid him handsomely with apple crisp and peanut butter cereal.

Haha.. Go Rock Obama?! Orison, you rock!
He looks so sad at the end..
Rock me, Amadeus.
Also: I think 22 words on why GoRock Obama’s achievement is greater than the legal opportunity for a black man to be president would be an interesting challenge.
I think it’s a true statement — I just think that I couldn’t do it in 22 words.
That’s hilarious. His lips were in the right position that last time…. so close.
That is adorable! Thanks for putting some fun into a tense election season…

dying laughing over here. that look of intense concentration on his face the last time before he gives up and says “Go Rock” again. LOVE it.
I spilled my coffee…that was hilarious!
“I paid him handsomely with apple crisp and peanut butter cereal.”
For that price I would have done a whole TV spot for “the One”.
still laughing!
he tried so hard that last time.
LOL! I am addicted to Orison videos.
bless his heart….he’s trying so hard.
Can I be redundant here and say HOW CUTE!?!
[...] He’s trying so hard! [...]
He’s so adorable!
That’s hilarious.
I feel terrible posting comment #23 on the 22words blog, but I have to add my voice to the refrain, “how cute is that?!” Answer: Extremely cute. Thanks for sharing.
This is great!
Way to go, Orison!! Keep trying!
Hey go easy on him. He’s got to rock the party, okay?
I found myself trying to help him with my lips. (I am weird.) He is SO cute. Thanks for making my day!
Sam and I have a similar conversation every diaper change. He had some Pampers with Elmo on the front, but now we’re using Costco ones, and they have an elephant.
“Elmo.”
“No, buddy, it’s an elephant.”
“Elmo.”
“E-le-phant.”
“Elmo.”
Your quick and direct NO each time made my wife nervous! “I’d have said it wrong too!” :-) jk
It seemed like he almost got it that last time… making the b with his lips… then… Go Rock Obama! Hilarious!
oh my!! those lips!!! go rock, orison!!!
i’m in such a better mood now because of this video.
you should send it to the real Gorock Obama as encouragement.
I teach first grade, and we had a school election on Tuesday.
All day Monday and Tuesday, I heard, “I’m voting for Morocco Bama, ” “Orock Obama.” and more! :) It was great!
I love the furrowed brow. And yes, GO ROCK, OBAMA! :-D
lol. poor little guy ALMOST had it at the end. he at least had me mouthing it with him.
Absolutely hilarious! His look of concentration at the end is precious.
Orison finally gave me something to laugh about Barack Obama.
What a beautiful boy. You’ve inspired me to get a new camcorder. We have one from 11 years ago when our first was born. It’s so archaic and we need a new one and need to start using it! THANKS!
that is awsome! Yes! Go Rock Obama! Do a good job, please! I’m starting to feel more hopeful.
Awww, so adorable. And he really did try.
My three year old daughter Elly has been requesting this video and the other one over and over daily. Today as we watched it, she said, “He’s gorgeous.” Might we be in-laws someday? :)

What a nice sweet babe! It’s so funny, but you know usually children kill with their sincerety, an dthis is the case!
Rocking Obama is really cool in this case! I’ll send the link to my friendz)))
