my grandfather used to tell me of a day when no matter who you were, you would gather around the radio with your family and friends just to hear what the president had to say. Because those were the days when America has leadership they could believe in. i can only dream that America can get back to the days when we have some one we can believe in.
I'm lucky to see that for the first time in quite a while, America (and in fact the whole world) might just have a chance of improving itself up to a bigger degree, and instead of finding our luck elsewhere, we do it here, home, where we belong. This man has heard of 'Improve the world, start with yourself'. Good luck, Mr. Obama, I hope you stick to your word.
Lol I was watching the first few seconds and then I came down to look at the comments and when I went back up to the video he was closer to the camera... I was like "WTF DID HE JUST TELEPORT?"
American people are speaking loud and clear in every county, every city and every state, Americans blue and red, white america, black america and yellow america, all americans want change and want right now.
Was this made for CZcams? His response was on CZcams, on a webcam? This is great... this feels more personal, he's vloging his response... the world feels so much smaller now. I hope they replace the presidents radio address with a vlog from the oval office soon.
Many people I know say Obama cannot lose, his win is unavoidable. Let's make sure this comes true on Super Tuesday! Go out and vote! Go for Barack Obama!
barack obama has been the most consistent & honest candidate of them all. he has a clear sense of who he is, what we can do and where we can go together as a country. go barack!
Wisconsin, Hawaii and Washington state residents. Today we need your help for a positive change for our nation. The rest of this country is counting on you TODAY! Please vote Obama today in your primary elections. Hope. YES WE CAN!
You know...this might be the first candidate Ive seen sporting a five o clock shadow. Kudos, Obama, you get integrity points for actually being that busy
Barack Obama is the best choice for 08. He knows what he's doing and will revolutinize politics! When I'm 50 years old, I'll tell my grandkids I supported Barack Obama, the man they learn about in school!
Wake up America we are electing our next President! This not American Idol there is too much at stake here to vote without your brain. THE PRESEDENT OF THE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD CAN NOT VOTE PRESENT! Who do want to help you and your family out during these tough times, that cool guy you just met who always has something hip to say or that responsible experienced guy youve known trusted for years who may be a little boring but always says what he means and means what he says
constructive criticism of the video itself - i have no idea if the person who posted this had anything to do with the filming...but maybe frame the wide shot so that it just cuts off the top of his head. when his face is dead-center, it looks like he's sinking and makes me anxious :)
i don't know why. call a gut feeling. but i love you. you give me faith. you give me hope. i KNOW you will refresh this country a give the world back it's big brother! You've got my vote, and my best wishes!! Forever Truly, Your American
Let's all open our eyes; there has not been a better candidate in a long time. And let's not just give a rating or a thumbs up, we need to go out and VOTE.
on a more important note, after he talks about the woman whose son is in Iraq, the way his voice changes, it slows down a little, really gave me shivers. Is he a robot programmed by Steven Spielberg?
Barrack I Dont Know If You Remember Me But I Met You When You Visited The Hospital In Illinois. I Doubted You As The Senator Of Illinois But After You Were Elected I Knew You Would One Day Be The First African American To Become President. Im 12 And My Whole Family Is Voting For You So From My Part Of The Family You Have About 57 Votes! If Hillary Win Thats Unfair. OBAMA 08
This is just a stimulus package to boost the economy, his tax cuts are still active. In the current plan, by 2010 the lower to middle class ($10,000-$59,000) will only have their taxes cut by about 5%. The highest income families ($500,000 or more) will have their total taxes cut by just over 50%. Ask any economist.
This man is the Leader of a new America! We can't afford to continue on the road we've been on the last 24 years. Elect someone that will listen to the people. YES WE CAN!
I hope he wins and I hope he doesnt dissapoint us if he does. Everything any of the candidates say only goes as far as you can trust them unfortunately. They are not bound by any of these campaigning words.
yes, because we all know that something you did 30 years ago absolutely defines you as a person, and clearly outlines your position on the issues. And how someone looks must effect their leadership abilities. I'm so glad that you converted me with your unbiased and open minded comment.
The odds of one man changing washington are slim, but if that one man can energize the nation to actually get involved again, it can be done. He's got my vote.
to be trutfully honest i was not gonna vote cause im not a voter? but this man right here basically wants me to register and i will do so. just by how he carries himself basically speaking? this man has it and a full charisma
As an American living abroad (and registered independent voter, btw) for the last 6 years, I have not just heard or read about the deterioration of America's standing in the world, but have witnessed it. In the past, I have voted for both Republican and Democratic candidates for president, and have had a difficult year deciding whom to support in '08. No longer. Obama is our future. Make us proud, Barack!
i never had an interest in politics until this wonderful man came along. He talks with sincerity and he is so smart. This is someone who truly cares and wants to change the failed america we live in. Lets hope he can achieve.
Dude doesn't he write his own speeches even if he doesn't his speeches are still amazing
my grandfather used to tell me of a day when no matter who you were, you would gather around the radio with your family and friends just to hear what the president had to say. Because those were the days when America has leadership they could believe in. i can only dream that America can get back to the days when we have some one we can believe in.
this man sure can give a speech.
It sounds like he is responding to his own State of the Union.
To Obama,
Thank you for reaching out to us CZcamsrs! You have my undivided support today and into the future.
he has a dangerous gift
he can make people follow him without question
thank god he is a good person
I love how you can tell he's reading off cue cards
Even though I am Canadian, I think he is very smart and is trying to put the United States in the right direction.
One of the greatest speeches I've ever heard.
Obama..... Wow! I love him.
I'm lucky to see that for the first time in quite a while, America (and in fact the whole world) might just have a chance of improving itself up to a bigger degree, and instead of finding our luck elsewhere, we do it here, home, where we belong.

Lol I was watching the first few seconds and then I came down to look at the comments and when I went back up to the video he was closer to the camera...
I was like "WTF DID HE JUST TELEPORT?"
Where was him?
Excellent. He is truly inspiring.
You think he would be better than READING FROM FLASH CARDS AND NOT MEMORIZING HIS OWN DAMN SPEECH
Delivered to perfection. Candid, insightful, and rather moving.
Barack Obama, you have my vote.
Introducing to you the President of the United States of America: President Barack Obama!!
Wow! I hope this guy is for real. I may actually vote this time.
Bush reads from flash cards (and still stumbles).
If Ron Paul wasn't running, I'd vote for Obama!
I just want to hug my computer. He's great in every way!
I would like to see this man in office. All I know whom ever wins the election has their plate full
American people are speaking loud and clear in every county, every city and every state, Americans blue and red, white america, black america and yellow america, all americans want change and want right now.

This video zooms in so far that you can actually see his eyes scan the teleprompter.
...
*rolls eyes*
Yeah, and I'm sure all politicians don't? Its called a "speech", look it up.
if you listen carefully obama sounds like the rock i bet if he said do you smell what barack is cookin he would get all the wwe fans vote lol
why are you on here commenting here? we dont need a negative vibe
watch his eyes....he's reading it off the screen..
Barack is good. He doesn't take the rhetorical bait for distracting from the real issues, and he has the answers to our problems.
i watched the president turning pages on his state of the union last night.
Please, don't just rate, remember to VOTE next Tuesday!
Many people I know say Obama cannot lose, his win is unavoidable. Let's make sure this comes true on Super Tuesday! Go out and vote! Go for Barack Obama!
You got my vote Mr Senetor.
CAN YOU DIIIIIG IT??
That curtain reminds me of Commish. Gordon's office in the 1966 Batman movie.
it looked like he was reading everything he said. I rather listen to someone who speaks from their heart rather than recite a prompter.
barack obama has been the most consistent & honest candidate of them all. he has a clear sense of who he is, what we can do and where we can go together as a country. go barack!
he is reading his speech...
Wisconsin, Hawaii and Washington state residents. Today we need your help for a positive change for our nation. The rest of this country is counting on you TODAY! Please vote Obama today in your primary elections. Hope. YES WE CAN!
I agree, I like his ideas, I just hope he keeps his promises when he becomes the president.
Where's that Middle Class Tax Cut? Boy, that's the last time I get conned. Jesse Ventura, you havta run.
I completely agree. As a veteran of Iraq I support Obama 100%.
You know...this might be the first candidate Ive seen sporting a five o clock shadow. Kudos, Obama, you get integrity points for actually being that busy
his face spells hope.
Barack Obama is the best choice for 08.
He knows what he's doing and will
revolutinize politics! When I'm 50 years old, I'll tell my grandkids I supported Barack Obama, the man they learn about in school!
Wake up America we are electing our next President! This not American Idol there is too much at stake here to vote without your brain. THE PRESEDENT OF THE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD CAN NOT VOTE PRESENT!
Who do want to help you and your family out during these tough times, that cool guy you just met who always has something hip to say or that responsible experienced guy youve known trusted for years who may be a little boring but always says what he means and means what he says
As long as this one means what this one says then we aren't going to have a problem are we.
constructive criticism of the video itself - i have no idea if the person who posted this had anything to do with the filming...but maybe frame the wide shot so that it just cuts off the top of his head. when his face is dead-center, it looks like he's sinking and makes me anxious :)
awsome response, but the camera was a little close don't ya think!?
The camera shot sucks. There is way too much head room. It makes him look short. Then halfway through it goes into a close up that is too tight.
what's with the selective comments? I know you can read this...
he does not look into the camera, he's reading this text. not that it really matters though.
If you look closely you can see his eyes move back and forth from the camera to the cue cards that ted kennedy is holding.
i don't know why. call a gut feeling.
but i love you.
you give me faith.
you give me hope.
i KNOW you will refresh this country a give the world back it's big brother!
You've got my vote, and my best wishes!!
Forever Truly,
Your American
ive got the same birthday as this guy August 4th what a legend
I love this man! Thanks for running...you have my vote.
Tell Your Mama:
BARACK OBAMA!
Let's all open our eyes; there has not been a better candidate in a long time. And let's not just give a rating or a thumbs up, we need to go out and VOTE.
CAN YOU SMELL WHAT BARACK IS COOKING?
I can't believe people think he's different from any other politician.
Books in the background always make people look intelligent. The more books the better.
There has NEVER been a candidate more deserving of the presidency in my 28 years of life!
BARACK OBAMA '08!
I'm not an American, but this response could have easily given him my vote if I were...
on a more important note, after he talks about the woman whose son is in Iraq, the way his voice changes, it slows down a little, really gave me shivers. Is he a robot programmed by Steven Spielberg?
Come on America! Change! Stop war and change the world with you! Vote Obama!
FROM PERU, MY HOPEFUL WISHES FOR PEACE AND HAPPINESS!

OBAMA 08

Elect someone that will listen to the people.
YES WE CAN!
For the first time in many years - there is a candidate I can really get behind. I'm voting for Obama and believe he is what this country needs.
Wow!!!
He DEFINITELY has my vote
I hope he wins and I hope he doesnt dissapoint us if he does. Everything any of the candidates say only goes as far as you can trust them unfortunately. They are not bound by any of these campaigning words.
He definitely seems like the best choice.
Well said.
Statements of fact aren't "bush hating".
this is on of the best lookin videos i have seen in youtube... barrack sure knowns how to do a speech.
I'm not sure this country is ready for a president who speaks in complete and coherent sentences.
Tax cuts???? The wrong way to go! Less tax - less health care and education!
Very good
This video is zoomed in so far you can see his eyes read the teleprompter.
yes, because we all know that something you did 30 years ago absolutely defines you as a person, and clearly outlines your position on the issues. And how someone looks must effect their leadership abilities. I'm so glad that you converted me with your unbiased and open minded comment.
I am ready for a president who's well spoken and intelligent!
The odds of one man changing washington are slim, but if that one man can energize the nation to actually get involved again, it can be done. He's got my vote.
hope. I hope. we can hope.
Mr. Obama, I was skeptical at first, but you definitely get my vote. I trust in your words.
you are the one and the best
keep going man
to be trutfully honest i was not gonna vote cause im not a voter? but this man right here basically wants me to register and i will do so. just by how he carries himself basically speaking? this man has it and a full charisma
LOL He hit the nail on the head in that last part.
As an American living abroad (and registered independent voter, btw) for the last 6 years, I have not just heard or read about the deterioration of America's standing in the world, but have witnessed it. In the past, I have voted for both Republican and Democratic candidates for president, and have had a difficult year deciding whom to support in '08. No longer. Obama is our future. Make us proud, Barack!
Finally. That's the first time in a long time I've heard anyone even mention Afghanistan. That's where the coalition troops need to be.
Even though I am in Canada, I wish Obama will become president.
Barack Obama 08. He truly is the kind of leader that this country is looking for.
if so it doesen't invalidate the content, imo. when i see spontaneity in politics my first thought is they pulled it off really well.
How did you get 26 people to hug you in 21 minutes?
i never had an interest in politics until this wonderful man came along. He talks with sincerity and he is so smart. This is someone who truly cares and wants to change the failed america we live in. Lets hope he can achieve.
*THUMBS UP* for Obama
from Germany
He might not have much experience, but his rationality and logic more than make up for it.
BARACK 08'!
Put aside the senator, become the man you were meant to be Barack Obama.
fuck, i'm not american, but if i were american i would like that finally someone has putted some objectivity in his speech
we need barack in office he is someone we can respect for once
im british but if i had the american vote..id vote for this guy
