    You should be with us in 2012: my.barackobama.com/storyofusvid
    February 10, 2012
    President Obama wrote a message to us today:
    "Five years ago today, a few thousand of us gathered in Springfield, Illinois, to launch an improbable campaign for president.
    The task was to build a grassroots movement capable of making the kind of change we believe in.
    You've got to see this video about that journey -- it will make you smile.
    From the very start this has been an experiment in our political process, testing whether ordinary people really can still come together to change this country.
    We proved that it's possible. But we've also learned that entrenched interests adapt and claw back even harder, which means this election will be even more of a challenge.
    I can't wait to see what you can do.
    Barack"
    There's more work to be done, join us now: my.barackobama.com/storyofusvid

    He is the best.
    I disagree people who say he is just a "celebrity". He is just more human and down to earth than all the other candidates. (in my opinion)

    I voted for Mr Obama in '08 because WE needed change, NOW. And now after 4 years of getting NO help from most of so called 'elected reps', you know, the ones that are there FOR America,
    I say today, that I'm ALL IN to ensure that Mr. Obama continues to be AMERICA's president! May God bless Mr Obama and The United States of America!

    I agree with everyone here commenting on this video in favor for this great president! I can honestly say I am the most proud u.s citizen to vote for Obama 2012!!! It would be the biggest mistake to get rid of him. So let's all unite and vote for Barack Obama 2012!!!

    @danielchen87 Před 11 lety +9

    :) I'm not sure he's *the best yet. But that's only because of the serious competition - Washington, Lincoln, FDR, Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton. Even so, I think he's one of the best and a serious contender for *the best.

  • @EYEIZAWEZUM
    @EYEIZAWEZUM Před 12 lety

  • @lexiamber23
    @lexiamber23 Před 12 lety +2

    Honestly, before watching this I had no clue what to think about Obama except for what I've heard from several other people which are mostly negative things. After watching this video, I've realized that Obama has done more positive things for our country than any of the running opponents could ever do. This just goes to show that you can't always trust what you hear. Vote Obama 2012!!

  • @earlynshuffler7683
    @earlynshuffler7683 Před 11 lety +6

    This video should be seen by every person in the U.S.A. so that they have a true context for evaluating the progress, which has been made by President Obama.
    The jobs graft should be in every add to remind people of the facts that matter.... moving from a loss of over 5 million jobs to a gain of almost 5 million is a change of close to 10 million

  • @jan9498

If they only knew the whole truth and how much trouble they were in. I'm going to stick by You Sir, through thick and thin.
