Barack Obama: Keeping Our Faith With Veterans (Full)

[JagtTiger85]

he already is...

the most germans i know... believe in amerika AGAIN... (since the bush-reich)

because the "MAIN-TARGET is peace..

using war to reach any kind of target... is the wrong way... its the.. way of ... people who dont love the humanship!

[nodnal666]

OBAMA '08!

[againsttheherd]

I hope you are having fun screening all the comments and censoring anything Anti-obama. YES I'm talking to YOU!! The one who is CENSORING to make it seem like the whole world loves Obama... how much is he paying you? You guys better delete some of those videos on your channel because you can see right on them that he is a big FLIP FLOPPER!!!

[EyeCWorld2008]

Obama's a Flip Flopper?

Really?

You mind telling us what he has "flip flopped" on - and be specific, provide the contrast between what he said then and now.

Oh and while you are at it, please take time to get caught up to date on all of McCain's flip-flops including:  Campaign Finance, Iraq, Afghanistan, Stem cell research, Swift boaters, off shore drilling, etc, etc, etc.

Thanks.

[rcdny]

obama doesnt want to set preconditions to meet with world leaders, but he criticized Bush for attending the olympic opening ceremonies.

was against the war when he wasnt in senate, but voted for war funding when he became senator.

campaign finance.

[againsttheherd]

Since when does effectively reading the words of a speech writer make someone a good president?

[againsttheherd]

LOL integrity!! Now that's a laugh!!

[politicalfarce]

Any Clinton supporter (who supposedly supports Clinton's views and positions) that votes against Obama in the general election is officially DUMB.

How in the world can you be a democrat, be against the Iraq War, be against giving MORE tax breaks to billionaires, be for universal healthcare, be for diplomacy as opposed to unilateral war, be FOR affordable college AND vote for McCain? How can you do that?

McCain's position on ALL of those is the opposite to Clinton's!

Think America, THINK

[paracletelux]

I don't get it either. I preferred Dean for the Democratic ticket back in '04, but when he fizzled out, I didn't for a moment consider voting for Bush over Kerry!

Voting against Obama because you're mad about Clinton's loss is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

[wawet10]

he migth be the one who makes the worlde respekt the USA,

[camposantoo]

All veterans have only hero's colour. And America has only one real colour: FREEDOM. THAT IS REAL STRONG AMERICA IN THE OWRLD

[whybepizza]

Martin Luther King and John F Kennedy and Ronald Reagan rolled up in one! OBAMMA 08.... Go OBAMMA GO!!!!

[DocForChange]

This is an absolutely FABULOUS speech that he gave in West Virginia; when I heard the entire speech on POTUS '08, I was overwhelmed!!! If he keeps giving speeches like this, he is In Like Flint!!!

OBAMA '08!!

[curlyheads]

staying positive even with he has to deal with ignorant bigots. Obama 08*

[QwertyMcYuiop]

Im english and i want obama to win so you can concentrate on your own country and not the rest of the world!

[selemawit14]

this man got so many respect and integrity.

and he know what he's talking about.

i look up to him & really admire him.

very inspiring=)

Obama 08'

[kenwill123]

Badash78, it's not the 2 party system, it's the corporate greed and the lack of true love for USA and peace. It is obvious that the past 20 years they have used their influence to fill the pockets of many but not for the betterment of America. If you think now that you can not trust anyone because of the past, then continue to support the past. Not me, I am going to vote for Senator Obama, because I feel he can be trusted. If you don't, your feeling might be deeper than you think or admit.

[blinx91]

GO OBAMA FROM FRANCE!!!

Pls American citizens, vote for this good guy!

[Franck9875]

G'Obama GO, G'Obama GO! Yeaaaaah !!!!!

[Badash78]

DrChristianity,

I won't vote for McCain if you don't vote for Obama, there's really not much difference anyhow...they all promise big things and seldom do they live up to them. It's all just election talk.

The 2 party system is corrupt and is breaking this country.

[ObsidianMilenko]

Lol Shut up.

[Donnchad567]

no, the 2 party system is not inherently "corrupt", whatever that means. and Obama's entire message hinges on changing what's bad about the 2 party system and trying to fix what bad effects our past actions have wrought on the country.

that is the ESSENCE of his message. and honestly, all we've got is election talk. figure out how to deal with that and move on.

[inferableswine]

He is a man who is running to be the President of the USA not the president of the world. He truly has America in his mind and that is why he should be... The President of the Unites States of America

[ladybchi]

President of the US of A

High five, amen and a thank you Jesus too!

[RURIGHT]

Try posting a negative comment here? Just like a true Fascist after 3 hours my comment still haven't posted!

Same goes for Clinton! Say something negative and it won't post!

Go to John McCain's YouTube Postings and say something negative and they are posted almost immediately! Fascism is alive within the Democratic Party! And you people are going to vote for this man?

Why doesn't he say it was the Liberal Democrats who spit on returning Viet Vets? I know I was one of them! The Nam 1968/69.

[RURIGHT]

Go OBAMA!!

[eazyb69]

Change .

Take the song of Tupac " Changes " : "we ain't ready to see a black President, uhh" Now we are ready !

[chamilt6]

WV isn't...sorry 2 say!

[dannny594]

Im english and i really want Barack Obama for the american president

[DrChristianity]

no matter what happens....

DON'T VOTE 4 JOHN McSAME!!!!!

EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!­!!!!!

[game1758]

this man tells the tru

[shanebarrow1]

I'm glad to see Obama acting like a TRUE patriot. Patriotism is action-based. Republicans have confused patriotism with jingoism. Republicans want to send our troops into war and leave them under a bridge when they return home. Its not about singing GOD BLESS AMERICA, its about making America more fit for Gods blessings.

Obama 08

[great1998]

Be force with you!

from Japan

[CABeers]

OBAMA 08

[Thenic706]

how could you not vote for this guy

[gypie01]

It's very sad and you deserve better but it looks like you're going to be stuck with that lobotomised fossil McCain. Mind you we've got Gordon " Mr. Charisma" Brown. Happy days eh chaps?

[scollenlee]

ioppose him just because his attitudes towards china is not good!

[ddcmay]

Europe for Obama!

[4wehttam]

Please don't choose Hillary as your VP until she gives you the respect you have earned. I'm sick & tired of the Clinton's feeling like they are entitled to the presidency, because THEY ARE NOT. Noone is entitled, it must be earned fair & square, which you have done. You are a one of a kind & no matter what critics say, your supporters stand by you. We will continue donating, volunteering & passing on your message of CHANGE, HOPE & UNITY, because w/o these things we can't solve our problems. Amen

[notchsupreme]

MAN pre-president BARACK OBAMA IS JUST ON POINT ON EVERY topic

[FalconX2000]

Obama's intonation pattern is close to perfect here.

[bigbabii]

I'm so glad that someone is finally addressing these issues. Just 4 years too late. Bush gave us a raise, but took away everything else. As a prior soldier in the USAF this is one of the most pressing issues for me and my family. Go Obama 08!

[steinbrz]

Im sorry to say this guys but Barrack does really have a worse chance of winning the general election. I dislike all candidates and since I support none and dislike none more than the other I can say that Barrack probaly will not beat McCain.

[Ealgian]

This speech brought me to tears.

[artjulian]

He makes me proud to be a Dutchman.

[davidswayze]

If we're going to be able to afford the things that he mentions, it will mean the end of the American empire. We will have to reign in the billionsandbillionsandbillions of dollars the U.S. spends on it's complexes at home and abroad supporting the war machine.

I dunno if you've noticed folks, but everything is about to get a whole lot more expensive. I mean like everything. And it's only going to accelerate unless we do something.

I hope Obama can do it. I'm counting on you, sir.

[medicvet]

I am a disabled veteran with ptsd and it has taken me nearly a decade to fight the VA for my service connection, and it still isn't permanent yet. I am beyond disgusted with not just bush but the gop party as a whole, and after having read both his books and listened to many of his speeches, have come to believe that maybe there is hope for a change, that I too can have the audacity to hope. Thank you Obama, and I am FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!!

[WVJimbo]

I went to this speech and it was AWESOME!!!

Go Obama! :D

I'm not old enough to vote but if I were, I would definitly vote for Obama!

[selemawit14]

i love you Barack Obama

and think you'd make a mighty fine president

guys like him don't come around 2 often

he gives you a sense of hope

and a fine politician

now that's sexy!~!~!~!~!~

[nokiafan4life]

lol vote for the man cuz hes gona make better changes, not cuz hes sexy. i wouldnt vote for hillary cuz she's a fine girl would i? either way, OBAMA 08!

[soybased]

President for life!

[Xone7]

GO OBAMA!!! CHANGE is on the way!

[BHSRaiders08]

This is true patriotism. This is what it truly means to support our troops. Americans will not fall for that garbage the republicans spout this time.

[WBRutledge]

what he says here is why we do fight

better us than you

[ckomaha]

Obama for President

Chuxk Hagel for VP

Show the world that you are willing to cross the aisle and unite Washington Senator Obama.

Obama 08

[Kflash3782]

i completely agree. This would be a great message and both have almost the same view of the war in Iraq.

Obama/Hagel 2008!!!

[ramow]

OBAMA is our hope!

[abc9d]

Its rather brilliant: good care of the vets who the Republicans made. Since the Republicans want to downplay the mess they are inclined to underfund the vets.

[mania1815]

GOD let he be different than the previous ones...

[adinb]

does it finally mean concurrent payments for those of us who were rude enough to become disabled before 20 years of active service???

Or does it mean that you'll continue to rely upon the social security administration to make our lives hell and repeat the work and delays of the VA?

[y0utube11111]

We don't need another clinton(although I liked bill) and definitely can't afford another conservative in office this time around. Obama is the man for the job!

[Stewie0416]

i dont care if u support or dont support obama you gotta say hes a great speachmaker

[barnrust217]

This is huge. This "True Meaning of Patriotism" speech is as significant as the "More Perfect Union" speech. All those in the service, our veterans and all Americans should listen.

[MAObamamama]

Real Issues, Real Comments from the heart. Thank You Mr. Obmama

[GettysburgGhost1863]

GO OBAMA! You know what? Something good about Obama is that you can name a flavor of ice cream after him, Obama Mama. Can't do that with the other candidates. I mean McCain Mama and Clinton Mama just don't work.

[Delkyflexnjunior]

I've felt so inspired in my life. Thank God that I live in this period on history to witness an intellect like Obama. Go Obama for President!!!

[whooonewww]

this mans honeyed words scare me...i am afraid to see what he will turn into if elected

[MasterriperX]

Obama, Puerto Rico is with ya

[pineapplespongecake]

Some questions for Sen. Obama:

Why, as an Illinois state Senator, did Obama vote "present" over 130 times instead of "yes" or "no" on difficult issues like abortion, crime, and guns? On fiscal responsibility, how does Obama intend to pay for over $660 billion in his new spending proposals and whether he can do it without raising taxes on families and small businesses? Why did Obama vote against funding for our troops after promising not to use them as pawns in a war funding debate?

[Bluemusica]

Thank you for a wonderful speech. At 16:12.. the tenor of your speech communicates your love for America and its veterans- our loyal men and women of service. This is the president we need in the White House. Amen!

[dr1321]

wow.......rock on

[alfrgt]

yes, seabeatle I wish he would have been draped in a flag like our biggest mistake of all bushwakas we won the war that will never end herpert war mongersofmfnbtch bush. Flags don't mean patrotism that is pride in who your are,the country of your forefathers. When will all of americans understand that countries worldwide have proud people not just america the beautiful.

[kenwill123]

That's the way to support or veterans. I am really starting to feel like an American. A lot of people should know what I mean and how I feel. Seriously! Thank you OBAMA '08

[bernlin2000]

McCain's opposition to the GI Bill could be one of his dumbest mistakes...how could he oppose helping the very troops he once was a part of, and was even imprisoned for being a part of?! It's one of those no-brainer bills that shows what kind of person McCain really is.

[bassman5588]

McCain is Bush in a soldiers clothing.

[10onpump1]

Man this guy has a way with words.One of the many things i admire about Senator Obama is that,he seems to know exactally what hes talking about,and hes not boring.This is someone i want as the leader of my country,no doubt about that.I wasn't interested in politics until after i heard Senator Obama speak.

One mistake he made was deciding to wear a flag pin today,thats gonna leave an opening jab for the Clintons and McCain.But it doesnt matter,the primary is tonight anyway.

[bryanbugg]

the flag pin was given to him by a disabled vet

[hotie22boy]

Obama for President

Sebelius for VP

Obama/Sebelius 08

[Afvskum]

Wow... as a 15 years old Swede I don't have much to compare with, but this was amazing. Really hope that Obama will win, and not Clinton (and for the love of god, not McCain!).

Gogo Barack!

[hadleystirrup]

I'm 40,and this man is the most inspiring,articulate and thoughtful politician in my lifetime.I only wish I could vote for him in November,but unfortunately I'm a Brit!

[oshanweerasinghe]

Yes we can!!

[caledesi]

President Obama!

[johnnydrogba]

Where were u 8 years ago?i would have votted for you then,now,tomorrow. OBAMA 4 PRESIDENT

[emmab2006]

Now i am not a Citizen of the United States , But i am a Brit , and will be watching this election with great Interest , Good Luck To Barack and Hillary ,

[Deoliver47]

Because he is speaking to Vets - it is appropriate. Seabeatle - do you wear one everyday?

I don't. The only flag I need was on my dad's coffin - he served in WWII.

Senator Obama is fighting for Vets rights

McCain-Bush isn't.

[Bishop9109]

You are a very strong, intelligent person Senator and I'm proud to vote for you as our next President. Thank you for coming to WV. I believe you will have a good showiing here, so hang in here and march on to the White House.

[look4edmund]

Go Obama Go!!!

[kbeduaddo]

Barak you have spoken well and I hope all Americans (especially those who are still asleep) will wake up and help him to change the world. Our world is crying for a change. We can never use force to stop a war. My example is Northern Ireland.

[pielsticker]

Whoever listens to that man must admit that he has some very good points.

[indastrol]

Obama always has his teleprompters to his far right and far left. I would advise the campaign to have him look straight ahead during speeches too, maybe by putting one in the middle. Otherwise it seems odd that he is always swaying his head left and right, somehow missing direct eye contact with his listeners. It's a small point, but an important one in terms of connection.

[WisdomPersonified]

Great speech!

[wahrheitliebe]

After this speech wy not voting for him?

Please US go for Chance!

Not only for you - but also for truth and peace in the rest of the world.

Thanks from Germany

[PlanetMother]

I agree...Barack Obama for President, unless he means 'clinton and McCain ' with veterans

:-).

Stay bizar or make the only right choice;

BARACK OBAMA 08.

[Cwayne28]

I just wish we could skip the voting and send Obama direct to the White House.

[seabeatle]

You have decided to wear a American Flag Pin now. Why Now?

[kibibi01]

beacause he's speaking for the vets, that's when it's most appropriate, that pin was given to him by a vet, he has no need to pander, he will be president, OBAMA 08

[Wulfgar12]

same reason you wear different clothes from day to day?...

[Superhero18]

Why do we care?

[lauralane65401]

Because they're made in China.

[lanidarwin]

I hope people get to know him as they do in Hawaii. This man will bring the Aloha spirit with him, but he will also be tough when times need him to. Obama has a great balance.

[suncam57]

Thank you to those up in WV who are supporting Senator Obama. In the spirit of this campaign, I extend a firm virtual handshake!!!!!

[LavoniaMae]

I'm glad that he went to West Virginia today.

[LavoniaMae]

I think that it is great that Barack went to West Virginia today. At first, I was afraid that he was not going to go there at all. I sure hope that the Obama campaign knew what it was doing by not putting more time into West Virginia. Still, maybe tomorrow won't be the big blowout for Hillary Clinton that everyone is expecting! I kind of doubt that her margin will be 30% to 40% points.

[Zagretay]

Obama-Webb ticket is unbeatable.

[FreshCliches]

Unfortunately, Senator Webb isn't interested. In lieu of that, I wouldn't mind seeing Wesley Clark as Veep; it answers the Republican's military/foreign relations questions, and extends an olive branch to the Clinton camp as well.

[justcallmebaby]

This is TRUE patriotism. Incredible speech.

[alfrgt]

Our next president certainly knows the true meaning. I must say even as a 40 year old man tears came to my eye's when he spoke so eloquently about his grandfather.

[idtfjmk]

Again, brilliant. I want to be like him. :)

He has being my hero since I saw the 2004 speech and my impression of him just keeps getting better and better the more he speaks.

[tigerakabj]

I knew he has going to do a "patriotism" speech. As always, Barack exceeds my expectations. Brilliant, Mr. President. Brilliant!!

[annettegig]

OBAMA 2008

[17brandiff]

GOOD SPEECH!!!

[TroopsPostTrauma]

I am looking forward to seeing who Barack Obama will choose for his cabinet in his administration !

[Skyjuice70]

I wonder how large that meeting was?

GOBAMA 08'/12'

[evanology06]

It just makes sense. This is the reason Obama needs to be president. He has the vision, the common sense, the decency to do what is right. No amount of party bickering can deny that.

[newyorkfish]

Obama is wearing a flag pin !!

Obama will help our veterans !!

Obama will heal our nation !!

Oh yes we can !!

[VetMichael]

Thank You Mr. Obama - I look forward to your administration!

[scorpio937]

haha, hes wearing the flag pin now.

I LOVE BARACK

[focused26]

WEST VIRGINIA FOR OBAMA 08!

[motionpicturesstudio]

stop the drama vote obama, beat hillary then beat mccain

[uberswords]

n3rd..

[valentino1000]

Love you, Barack. Bt what about people like Lynndie England?

[cadetstarnoodle]

KICK ASS! This is so damned motivating and exciting. Right on, Senator.  He's our man.

[dharmick]

This is a great, Great, GREAT speech.

It shows the kind of thoughtful, caring, patriotic person this guy is...

Barack Obama is going to make a terrific President.

This man is going to be able to unite this country and get it back on track.

Hurray for Barack Obama!

Our kind of President.

[vxgasattack]

We love you and look forward to your presidency, Barack! Thanks for visiting us in WV!

[N8Ma]

YAY!

WV aren't hillbillies or racists or anything. They're just very loyal to Clinton. WV just doesn't know Obama very well. Once they get to see him up front and unfiltered, they'll shed their reluctance to back him in November.

[cosmlayla]

I agree.

[Ju5tClever]

I agree N8Ma. Most West Virginias are familiar with the clintons. The clintons have helped these people a great deal which explains the current ratings. But Obama 08! I hope they shed their reluctance as well.

[FranciscoPadilla]

Don't lose your hope. Barack Obama will win.
