I must say, I've watched, read, and listened to everything Barack.. still doesn't stop me from getting chills during the first 2 minutes of this video. Those 2 minutes are two of his best.
Obama is the type of leader that injects hope , enthusiasm and vision to the rest of us. He makes us feel that we can achieve more than we sometimes never think to strive towards. Few people in our nation's history have done that. Having Obama as President, Americans will be inspired to work hard to revive the spirit of this country.
This is truly a historical moment in this country. I love how Obama's speech is themed around being the underdog. I always believed that he was going to beat Hillary. But now the nation is starting to see it. He's so charismatic, genuine and has a better understanding of world issues than any other candidate. How can you not support him? Go Obama! New Hampshire is next!
Obama won the Democratic nomination! Thank you Iowa for starting this and instilling hope in the rest of the country that it could be done. YES WE CAN! Obama 08
So far we as Africans are waiting for the americans to make the right move and vote for the one and only Barack Obama as he is the best thing in History of the americans and african states...God shall give him the power to be the best leader...shine on Obama shine on and bring hapines and changes to the whole universe.
I'm not even American, but his patriotic 'Just Words' speech actually brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. I can only imagine how Americans felt!
He is NOT just another politician. A 24 year old Barack Obama passed over lucrative job offers (6,7 digit fiqures) to work as a community organizer to help the poor and downtrodden who had lost their jobs when steel plants were closed down in Chicago, 20 yrs. ago. It's a characteristic inherited/learned, perhaps, from his Mother who spent most of her live helping the disadvantaged and voiceless. This man REALLY cares about changing America to benefit ALL of its citizens. Pray he wins.
As a University of Iowa student I had the chance to see Barack Obama speak several times. This being said, I believe that Mr. Obama has the drive and the fresh ideas to reunite this country and improve how the rest of the world views the United States. It is because of these reasons and more that I drove more than 2 hours to caucus for Barack. OBAMA 2008
wow...this speach came close to bringing a tear to my eye...bcuz once ur one of the ppl that needs that change it finally feels good to know there's a president out there that genuinly wants to help you.
My mom and dad went to college with Barack Obama at Occidental in LA. They were close friends, and my dad went running with him every morning. They've worked on the campaign, and recently had a private dinner with him. They met him at the most confused point in his life, yet they still firmly believe in his faith in America, his humility and willingness to listen, and ultimately his ability to bring about a true positive change in the way our country works. That's what I know.
I was watching his speech in Canada and I believe that he is really inspirational and he connects with those he is addressing his speech to. He could change history in the United States and give the nation the changes that it needs to become a better nation. He would be a great president and I believe he will give what USA needs.
Amazing speech, I got goosebumps on at least 5 occasions. Part Dr. King, part John Kennedy, but most importantly, a big part that is uniquely him. Who could ask for a better man to be our next president? I've jumped over from the Edwards camp for good. I'm a convert. Obama '08!
What an incredible speech! This guy is the man. You can tell that he really believes in hope and that he believes he is the one capable of restoring America's greatness.
Wow. THAT, my friends, was an amazingly powerful speech. No matter whether you support Obama or are backing a different candidate, you have to admit that his message is compelling. It IS time for change, and we, as Americans, should always hope for a better future. I've been undecided up until this point--I like the three leading Dems AND Giuliani, however this speech has me strongly leaning Obama. It's nice to be inspired again.
This speech brings tears to my eyes & hope & belif to my heart God Bless This Man I feel like god has delivered him to us for a common positive purpose. He is officially in my eyes "The Peoples Champ"
this is without a doubt, growing up in the 80's where i first noticed where and how most politicians made wrong moves. this speech, without a doubt in my mind, is the greatest speech on pretty much any and all platforms that i have ever witnessed. i saw Clinton speak live. i grew up during the Reagan years. Reagan's speeches were the best thing he could do, as a former actor, and paled in comparison; all three were the best speakers of my generation in so many ways, but Obama is the best.
Great speech Barack, He has united people all the ways in Canada & around the world from his inspiration. I'm DJ KAOS in Canada and boy do I wish I could vote in the United states of america because Obama has my vote. Barack Obama for president in 2009.
Obama has unbelievable charisma and his speeches are amazing. He never talks about real issues, it's just politics as usual with catchy words like "change" and "hope". This is why I like Ron Paul - he talks about issues head on and doesn't politic around issues.
I'm supposed to find a speech to analysis for my language and Composition class, and well, I've found my speech. I'll probably use this one unless his speech for winning New Hampshire is even better. Nice job Barrack!
Some things are worth fighting for. The slight hope of a brighter future. A small chance to turn this all around. A possibility of change. Simple hope. May he have God's speed.
We cannot advance our roads without light of hope. We cannot feel serenity, passion, and true lives without the light of hope. Hope is not to just see dreams. Hope is made up of strong determination and strong actions. I saw the hope in him. I'm now reading "Dreams From My Father". That's simple where the hope has come from. Steady endeavor, endless feeling for something, like love for human beings or America. That is what hope is.
What an amazing American. Every time I hear him speak I just can't help but feel great about our country once again. I'm SO sick of the gang of crooks running things now. He really does bring "Hope" into our lives again. Go, sir. Go and win this election. We're with you.
This was one of the most defining moments in American history. The next most defining moment will hopefully be when this good man is elected President of this great country! Thank You Iowa! And, Go America! It can happen....Obama '08!
Currently in north east Iraq. Just watching this video for the first time today. I really feel Obama has our best interest's on his mind. Dont think i'll be home in November to vote, but I hope the rest of you vote for him. take care everybody
An an Australian living in the US it's impressive to see a canditate like Obama ignite feelings within Americans that make them feel good about being American. Hopefully the long dirty campaign trail wont wear him down nor his positive message
I fully agree with everyone. he seems to have his head screwed on tight. the best part was "hope is what this country is about. with a father from kenya, a mother from kansas, and a story that can only happen in the United States of America" it gave me chills. he gets my vote hands down.
As a fellow Kenyan, Obama's victory is even sweeter, in addition to the step that is being taken in the right direction for the USA. Obama is in there '08
The man gives me chills when he speaks. People may say it's just rhetoric, but all speeches are to some extent. It's the passion & conviction behind his words that matter, & the fact that he has inspired so many people all over the world. He has my respect &, if I was American, he would have my vote. Obama '08!!!
You guys from Mexico and Ireland are so right! I'm from Trinidad & Tobago and down here we all really love Obama. His win would be so good to unite not just the USA but the world. Good luck Obama - Sean from Trinidad.
When you watch this, you realize, that for all the hate he's endured, he actually has fulfilled the core promises of his candidacy.
This man is inspirational. What a moving speech.. Brilliant
I remember this like yesterday !!!
"This was the moment when it all began."
I am so proud of the United States and its people, and so proud of our next President, Barack Obama. Thank you so much!
I must say, I've watched, read, and listened to everything Barack.. still doesn't stop me from getting chills during the first 2 minutes of this video. Those 2 minutes are two of his best.
Obama is the type of leader that injects hope , enthusiasm and vision to the rest of us. He makes us feel that we can achieve more than we sometimes never think to strive towards. Few people in our nation's history have done that.
Having Obama as President, Americans will be inspired to work hard to revive the spirit of this country.
This man is on fire. Nothing will stop him!
I am so pumped after hearing this speech.
Finally, someone with the right ideas!
Finally an intelligent president !!! Congratulation America !! - Claus, Denmark
nearing the next election, I came back to watch this for inspiration.
This is truly a historical moment in this country. I love how Obama's speech is themed around being the underdog. I always believed that he was going to beat Hillary. But now the nation is starting to see it. He's so charismatic, genuine and has a better understanding of world issues than any other candidate. How can you not support him? Go Obama!

Obama won the Democratic nomination! Thank you Iowa for starting this and instilling hope in the rest of the country that it could be done.
YES WE CAN!
Obama 08
Even though I'm from Sweden, he has got my vote
"A nation less divided and more united"
Oh my god... That line was amazing.
So far we as Africans are waiting for the americans to make the right move and vote for the one and only Barack Obama as he is the best thing in History of the americans and african states...God shall give him the power to be the best leader...shine on Obama shine on and bring hapines and changes to the whole universe.
This was the night that started it all this year! It was a beautiful winter night.
I'm not even American, but his patriotic 'Just Words' speech actually brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. I can only imagine how Americans felt!

This man REALLY cares about changing America to benefit ALL of its citizens. Pray he wins.
One of the greatest speeches in American History. This man is going to make history. This man is going to change the world.
I was looking for his speech. And yes, he can give a hell of a speech. Hope he wins
Awesome. Amazing speech. Gave me the goosebumps.
This was one of the best speeches I've ever heard. You are witnessing something special.
"We are the people we've been waiting for."
I watched this live, and when taken in context, it reamains one of the greatest political speeches of this generation
This really gives me chills down my spine, what an awesome guy, vote this man into office.
moving; his speech gave me chills.
Thank you Obama. You have opened the eyes of so many. God bless you

It began in Iowa, it will end on D.C.

Obama: "I know you didn't do this for me!"
Voices in Crowd:"YES WE DID!"
lol :D
This speech brings tears to my eyes & hope & belif to my heart God Bless This Man I feel like god has delivered him to us for a common positive purpose. He is officially in my eyes "The Peoples Champ"
Even though I am living in Canada, he is my favorite pick out of the lot. I'd probably vote for him if I was an American Citizen.
Thank You Barack for Illinois health care.
You saved my family, medically and financially.
Thank You!!
Awesome speech. Very moving.
this man made me believe in politics again he's truly genuine and I hope that we get the change we deserve. go Obama

Excellent speech! The U.S.A. needs somebody like him, a new era is taking place in American politics!
Obama has unbelievable charisma and his speeches are amazing. He never talks about real issues, it's just politics as usual with catchy words like "change" and "hope".

absolutely inspiring
He is just so amazing.
His voice is shaking with emotion.
It's touching.
Obama 08!
We cannot advance our roads without light of hope. We cannot feel serenity, passion, and true lives without the light of hope. Hope is not to just see dreams. Hope is made up of strong determination and strong actions. I saw the hope in him.
I'm now reading "Dreams From My Father". That's simple where the hope has come from. Steady endeavor, endless feeling for something, like love for human beings or America.
That is what hope is.
Same here, I'm from Norway and almost everyone is cheering for him here as well.
What an amazing American. Every time I hear him speak I just can't help but feel great about our country once again. I'm SO sick of the gang of crooks running things now. He really does bring "Hope" into our lives again. Go, sir. Go and win this election. We're with you.
Im from Australia and if you dont vote for this guy then theres somthing wrong. He can do what many cant. He can inspire!
He really has some Luther King vibe going in this clip with the vibrato and the looong vowels.
And also, he's awesome.
me too! I really can't wait for this to happen for us
he WILL go all the way
Whether you like him or not, agree with him or not, it is indisputable that he is the greatest public speaker to be in politics in a long, long time.
At last someone who dares to speak from his heart. May God bless him and keep the `devils´ away from him.
This was one of the most defining moments in American history. The next most defining moment will hopefully be when this good man is elected President of this great country!
Thank You Iowa! And, Go America!
It can happen....Obama '08!
yes this will be remembered as the day it all started.
That's awesome.
Your intellegence is the greatest gift to this nation!
Currently in north east Iraq. Just watching this video for the first time today. I really feel Obama has our best interest's on his mind. Dont think i'll be home in November to vote, but I hope the rest of you vote for him. take care everybody
Hope is more powerful than fear, love overcomes hate, and faith is stronger than doubt. Cheering you on here in Australia - "Run Obama, Run"!
GOD BLESS THIS MAN
his message is loud and clear, now it's up to the people. i can feel his words affecting me, and i'm Canadian! - Obama 08 -
This man can stir passion at his whim.
An an Australian living in the US it's impressive to see a canditate like Obama ignite feelings within Americans that make them feel good about being American.
Hopefully the long dirty campaign trail wont wear him down nor his positive message
this man is an inspiration.
I watch his speeches at least once a day, kind of as a little pick-me-up before I head out.
This video gives me goosebumps. GO OBAMA!!!
barack, you are an inspiration
I live in central baja, mexico , and I feel the winds of change and the wispers of hope all the way down here, !!!go obama!!!!
This man is the real deal.Change is in the air.

it gave me chills. he gets my vote hands down.
As a fellow Kenyan, Obama's victory is even sweeter, in addition to the step that is being taken in the right direction for the USA.
Obama is in there '08

He has my respect &, if I was American, he would have my vote. Obama '08!!!
We judge of man's wisdom by his hope.

You guys from Mexico and Ireland are so right!
I'm from Trinidad & Tobago and down here we all really love Obama. His win would be so good to unite not just the USA but the world.
Good luck Obama - Sean from Trinidad.
