Obama's Independence Day Speech

[MrTamarek]

I WAS LISTENING TO BILL PULLMAN SPEAK THEN I TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE

[strugglingwithdeamon]

Why do we celebrate?

in·de·pend·ent adjective

2. not subject to another's authority or jurisdiction; autonomous; free: an independent businessman.

4. not dependent; not depending or contingent upon something else for existence, operation, etc.

5. not relying on another or others for aid or support.

Hello, if yo ass is a trillion in debt, you've obviously been living your life dependent on support from others. but every year you proclaim your independence and celebrate, as fucking if!

[brooklynbiscuit]

pullman is soooooo hot in this movie!!!!!!!!!!!

and at least he was believable

[brooklynbiscuit]

pullman is soooooo hot in this movie!!!!!!!!!!!

[PurdueToobah]

Obama would have blamed the alien invasion on President Bush. I'd take Bill Pullman as President over Obama any day of the week.

On a side note, President Obama is a great speaker... you know, when he is surrounded by teleprompters.

[IrishMinja]

@PurdueToobah actually liberals theorized that an alien invasion would help the economy. Great use of our money.

[maxistsocialist]

VOTE FOR STEWART ALEXANDER IN 2012, HE IS THE CANDIDATE OF THE SOCIALIST PARTY OF USA. CAPITALISM IS EVIL. IF YOU WANT PAIN AND SUFFERING VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. IF YOU WANT LOVE AND HAPPINESS VOTE FOR A SOCIALIST PARTY. SOCIALISM IS THE REAL DEAL !!

[nexivdr]

I dont want to change, I just want good old America back....

[chavoyao]

We are one nation, we are one people, Mr. President. Take then the first step and re-establish the American Republic. Walk out to Capitol Hill and ask the representatives of that People, who pay for war with taxes, blood and life, the authorization you know you must have, Mr. President, to deploy soldiers in the Mediterranean against the Libyan regime. Show the People of the United States, and to the world, that this continues to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

[nyratk1]

darkmann88 is probably a white supremacist, double n and an 88?

[nyratk1]

Worst president in recent years is Reagan. Trickle down economics, more like the ultra-rich take the lower classes' money and run. Oh but "he made America feel good again" as he started the pillaging of the average American household. And it's led to the current day situation as the Republicans move even further to the right and the Democrats think the correct solution is to move right as well. Clinton kind of did it, but Obama's made of presidency of doing it.

[darkmann88]

Oh wait forgot to mention Truman he was pretty bad too.

[darkmann88]

Obama is one of the worst presidents that America ever had. Then comes Carter and then John Quincy Adams.

[loginherepls]

Fuck that commie bastard...

[MillerName]

Wow. No love on this board.

I think we're sorely lacking an Obama speech about alien invasion. That's what these people need. A little love an a little non sequitur.

[666IAMBACK]

The original movie speech is an epic and obama is an EPIC FAIL. Where is the "Thank You Satan " part in the speech? To Obama with hate from India. We miss George Bush...

[marktd12345]

go to hell liberals!!

[amazonfreak11]

fuck obama

[00MrBlob]

If Obama didn't get in we'd have the same sterotype president in again( ageing man with white hair). Sure he's not the best but he's not that bad

[ronin6401]

@00MrBlob he's certainly a better president than Bush was.

[007JackBourne]

LOL

[george6900]

What a great Mash Up.... was this on GLEE last week?????

[Mandalander]

It`s unbelievable that most people don`t seem to be able that political changes, good and bad, will take their time until the effect will be seen in public life!! George W. Bush started a war in 2003 and the american economic started going down many years later. President Obama wants and does a lot of good, outstanding things...the efforts however probably won`t be seen during his mandate.

[gtaisawesome87]

@Mandalander yea it took several years to put the economy in this hellhole, and people think that it can be back to normal in 2 years?? wtf are they thinking

[BlargeMan]

I think I like Bill Pullman's speech better. Obama can't say SHIT without a teleprompter.

[BodyHarvest64]

@NavySEALxRay Pullman kept his fucking promise.

[Andromedos]

@NavySEALxRay

Firing a missile into an alien spaceship is far easier than creating four million jobs, something that can't be done at the push of a button.

We never found out if President Pullman was able to revive the American economy after the alien invasion, after all...

And just like Pullman, President Obama has to 'cross blades' with a relentless adversery who is not interested in any sort of peace or compromise. Something both the alien invaders and Republicans both agree on.

[TheElevatr]

Elect Alex Jones, good times will be in order.

[SlantyShanty]

OBAMA IS A MEDIA WHORE!

[damaband41]

If aliens ever attack I hope it will be during Obama's presidency. Dude think of the epic speech that will result from that. Unless he just rips off of Pullman.

[sbunkboy3]

@damaband41 The sheer epic-ness of that moment will cause the aliens' skulls to explode.

[CrypticWatcher]

 Thomas Whitmore for president

[nick191088]

@NavySEALxRay it's not up to some guy in a bland colored house to give everyone jobs. It's up to the individual. If you want a job bad enough you'll get one. (I don't have one haha)

[tiopaul]

What a liar...

[BRen7]

This is all a bit gay.....

[nindoda]

the movie producer should sue obama!

[johnmaxvan]

whata shame

not real ID SPEECH

[beckasha83]

....I have the independence day speech memoriezed.. not willingly... I can recite the whole movie... love that movie...

[bentla17]

You have to admit, Barack Obama is one hell of a speech giver!!!! He really knows how to put hope in our hearts!

[Deeragon]

@bentla17 Your an ass clown!

Obama is a Puppet and your getting brain washed like a bitch!

[bentla17]

@Deeragon Its people like you that obviously dont have any hope that is bringing this country down.

[Deeragon]

@bentla17 Keep stickin your head in the sand!

Your ignorance is astounding,

Watch the "Obama deception" to break free from the brain washing!

[ramjet94]

YES WE CAN.......but that doesnt mean we'll ever do it just because you can do it doesnt mean you will do it. took over a month for obama to say "put a new pipe on the leak" i know its way more complicated than that. but he was more concerned over firing the guy in charge instead of both the pollution and the precious resources wasted in that spill that may or may not be recovered.

[TheWwilliams]

Great vid, I can see people upset with some of the thing Obama has done, but he is doing a way better job that than asshole did in the the last 8 years, props to Obama for trying to fix this country, besides half you people probably just hate him because he's black and this country needs to get over the racism because were not in the fucking 1800's anymore........ Eye for an eye

[kannprice]

@TheWwilliams We don't like him because he's a nutty, lying, stealing, forked-tongued socialist Marxist. Stick the same "character" in any color skin...I'd still avoid them and their work like the plague.

Sounds like we're not the ones who need to crawl out of the past and it's mindless hate.

[ramjet94]

@TheWwilliams dude saying peace and change isnt going to fix any thing its just a bunch of empty promises. and no people dont hate him for for his skin THATS WHY PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK and if you dont beleive me tell that to the 95% of the african americans who voted for obama. there has never been that high of a turn out. forget rascism its asumption thats bad, assuming the presidents WORDS will solve everything that the gorvernment owes you something, thats thereal evil

[gtaisawesome87]

@TheWwilliams yea and also half these people think that the economy could be fixed in 2 years but its gonna take about 10 because of this hellhole that bush put us through

[lsl70]

The time for fraud has come. You campaign as one person and rule as another.

[Kage6415]

Well at least Obama hasn't started a war based on lies and deceit which only fueled the hatred of America on a global scale... bunch of hypocritical republicans. Hey, still got FOX brainwashing you?

[ChicagoFan32]

@Kage6415 The war may have been based on B.S but its still necessary. BTW people will hate America no-matter what we do, its our job, we are the only ones who have the balls to do anything that will arouse critizism, and that ok.

[toms1266]

awesome

[idiotwithaAK47]

God dammit Obama's voice annoys the HELL OUT OF ME.

[yodakid84w]

@idiotwithaAK47

ill second that 

[TheSavageEagle]

Inspiration??? Uh... not with that jackass in the video.... Hope and Change... Hows that working out for ya now, huh? LOL ----The Founders.... Miss them yet????

[WORKingBOSE]

@TheSavageEagle@TheSavageEagle Hope and change. As oppose to continuing with the war and doing a shitty job in reconstructing the economy. Because that's what would happen if your John McBush and Bible Spice (thank you Alec Baldwin) would've done if they got into office. All you conservatives are blind. You say you and "America" is tuff and strong, even though you live in fear. Did that register you head, or do I have to talk like a 1 st. grader? :)

[TheSavageEagle]

@WORKingBOSE You have no idea what you're talking about. You like all these socialist policies? You like all this bail out crap? Think Cash for Clunkers was a good idea??? Wait wait wait.... Maybe expanding government and letting them spend $50 billion dollars on a worthless JOBS bill is a good idea??? I don't like McCain. I'm not a Conservative. If I even affiliated with ANY Party I would be considered a Libertarian.

If you believe so much in obama's policies, then please, send me some cash.

[TheSavageEagle]

@WORKingBOSE One more thing. If you want to live in a Socialist Country that doesn't believe in the free market, take your ass back across the pond and see how you like socialized Health Care and businesses. I'm sure they'd take you with open arms. Please stop trying to destroy this free Country with your Liberal bullshit. I'm sick of paying for your home, food, and healthcare.

[WORKingBOSE]

@TheSavageEagle I see no sense in debating you. Your obviously the kind of person that only hears want they want to hear.

[TheSavageEagle]

@WORKingBOSE No, please. Tell me what's so great about your King. Please.

[WORKingBOSE]

@TheSavageEagle Ohhh, "King". What makes you think I praise him. I think the bail out was a mistake. And you seem to call the "jobs" bill worthless, interesting.

As I'M a libertarian, so I'm not trying to destroy this country with "liberal bullshit". I'm trying to make people see what fucking idiots they are. I DO believe in the free market. makes you think I'm a socialist. "Gee, this guy disagrees with me, HE MUST BE A SOCIALIST" How CONSERVATIVE of you.

[WORKingBOSE]

@TheSavageEagle Oh, and "I'm sick of paying for your home, food, and healthcare" Well fuck you too.

[TheSavageEagle]

@WORKingBOSE You preemptively judged me, and I returned the favor. Not a nice feeling, is it? And why are everyone "fucking idiots"? Is your opinion the only one that matters? Liberals, Conservatives, and Libertarians alike all have great ideas. Unfortunately none of them are true to the Constitution, which is sad.

Oh, and I love you too! LOL

[WORKingBOSE]

@TheSavageEagle Not kidding here, I was actually thinking about writing I love you too to your comment, but FINE, YOU TAKE IT!! Yes, I am guilty of judging an a immature matter, and I apologize for that. (But let's be honest, your name didn't help "Lol") No, it's not the "only one that matters", but I'd like to think it's one of the louder ones out there. And I agree with on the liberals, conservative, and libertarians thing. "Why IS everyone a fucking idiot?" I don't know, you should ask them.

[sullysphinx]

Great video man, don't listen to the haters, theres always gonna be speculation, but you did one hell of a job.

[TheArmy19D]

Hope wont fix the oil spill

[itak365]

@TheArmy19D It'll get rid of the aliens, though.

[TheArmy19D]

@itak365 Obama won't pass immigration reform. Aliens love this idiot.

[barackosama86]

obama is a fucking traitor. really u still think MSNBC is right? you think thats air your breathing?

[alvisc2002]

so this is how liberty dies.  with Thunderous Applause... :(

[darky5k1987]

@alvisc2002 Yeah, that's why they're allowing you to carry guns into national parks now, and are challenging concealed weapons laws.

Tyranny must want you armed, right?

[bechtelg]

goosebumps

[iamgabrielf]

habs4life9, In 1807 England stopped trade, but kept slaves. It abolished slavery in 1833, but did not stop the trade! The opium war ended in 1860 and England freed India in 1947. Not a shinning example of freedom.

Massachusetts was the first gov't to ban slavery, in 1780, long before England. Get your facts straight!

[habs4life9]

what does it matter, it still would've been better for black people if the british had won, slavery would've been outlawed a long time earlier than 1865, and there also wouldn't've been a war which killed 2 million white people, so would been good for them too.

[iamgabrielf]

@habs4life9 Of course it matters. America freed African slaves before England and India was still enslaved until 1947! What part of that do you not understand? And are you under the impression that imperial England would've just freed them without a fight?

600K died in America's civil war. How many did England kill in South Africa, India, America, LatinAmerica, China, the whole African continent, the Middle East, etc. The number of murdered is far higher than the US. Please do your homework.

[habs4life9]

@iamgabrielf india wasn't "enslaved" until 1947 you idiot, it was a british colony until then. the indian people were not "slaves", because "slaves" by definition, do not get paid and are treated like pack animals. slavery was abolished in the british empire long before india got independence in 1947. and yeah it was 600K, but my point is still the same, those 600K wouldn't have needed to die if the american revolution had failed.

[iamgabrielf]

@habs4life9 There are many forms of slavery. You limit it to bondage, but there are many forms. There is peonage, which is enslavement thru debt. Ppl r free to leave the land, but if they can't pay the generational debt, they go to debtors prison. It is slavery without bondage.

There is serfdom, which is labor and military obligation to a feudal lord. I can go on and on. The system in India was neo-feudalistic. It was slavery! Watch the movie Gandhi and you will change your opinion.

[abermen]

Its so sad how impatient people are. After the Economy spent the last 8 years getting completely destroyed, Obama can't just fix it in one year. You thought everything would get better overnight.

Don't quit on America so fast.

[klesc7]

nah you'll love him in 1 year

[Nvrmind89]

Bill Pullman would make a better president anyday..

[klm4392]

@Nvrmind89 I would like this like 100 times if i could...

[OpurumD]

@Nvrmind89 Agreed.

[herpderpable]

@Nvrmind89 Obama pulled the US out of a war, halted a second depression, reformed various things such as healthcare and repealed the DADT. The economy is improving and growing. The only reason its so difficult is because the GOP is systematically trying to halt everything so they can pin all the faults of the current administration on Obama when its the GOP failing at actually improving the country and working with the Democrats.

[Nvrmind89]

@herpderpable alright thanks, I was making a joke I didn't need statistics.

[LaMarcuss966]

@herpderpable Not to mention Osama is dead

[TBustah]

@herpderpable Can I buy some pot from you?

[aBitchSon]

where's the damn change?

[bentla17]

@aBitchSon Change doesn't happen in a year. Perhaps not even in one term. But just you wait.

[CommodoreCronauer]

If anything George W. Bush should have been in this video.

He would actually do something like this... Obama would end up needed a teleprompter and when it breaks he would say...." Umm Good Luck"

[chloroform42]

this is a really funny idea

[stringerboi]

as an american- i can tell you for sure his popularity is dying. =]

[TheNewEmphinix]

OBAMA! OBAMA!

[pepepac123]

Fuck obama i cant believe you still fall for his lies

[CroPETROforever]

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA! Greetings from EUROPE!

[mikey980610]

U.S.A., U.S.A, U.S.A.

[GunslingerA29]

wow epic win meets epic fail. independence day being the win. obama will go down in history as being one of the worst president ever. all he ever does is blame bush...FOR EVERYTHING...i actually liked bush. i thought he did a good job. after 9/11 he took the fight to the terrorists and kept us safe. we werent atacked again until obama was president(fort hood). at least bush didnt go around apologising for america. bush new america is the greatest country on earth and he is proud of it!

[themarxmarvelous]

Epic fail meets epic fail meets epic fail.

[mjmanning123]

America! Fuck yeah!

[habs4life9]

had the american revolution not succeeded, sslavery would have been abolished in the colonies by 1800. doesn't obama know this? why is he praising the success of the american revolution when it prolonged slavery for another century?

[futuresoulhunter]

You gotta look at it in the long run are there any slavery today?

[habs4life9]

that's really not the point of my comment. my point is that something you americans hold so proudly in your historical tradition actually carried on a legacy of systematic oppression for almost a full century. it would've been better for black people if the british had won that is an obvious FACT, slavery was outlawed in the british empire by 1800.

[habs4life9]

...ok iff you want to be nitpicky it's technically not a "fact" since my scenario did not actually happen, but it is a COUNTERFACTUAL, which means it is undisputably true in the possible world i constructed.

[iamgabrielf]

In 1807 England stopped trade, but kept slaves. It abolished slavery in 1833, but did not stop the trade! The opium war ended in 1860 and England freed India in 1947. Not a shinning example of freedom.

[habs4life9]

sorry you're not an american so i shouldn't've said "you americans" in my other comment

[Joel354vanfanel]

He didn't say "One Nation Under God" Oh thank you God thank you!

Finally an American president who's not insane!

[crash8519]

if obama wants to change america so badely he should be creating more jobs for the american people not shoving health care down our throats.

[blackbear137]

u dont think health care is important ?

why must he create so many jobs ?

o yea cus the last president made it so millions didnt have jobs

bush got 8 years give the man a chance it hasnt even been a yr

[crash8519]

The american people need jobs right now more then they need healthcare. You say to give Obama a chance why should I the democrates hounded bush since the day he enter the white house. Why shouldn't we do the same to Obama if he can't take the pressure then he doesn't belong being president.

[mortz101]

bam!

[gamba80762]

good movie

[Darcksaac]

All that was happening during Bush's office. It's natural it continues to go that way. Not even the American president can fix that in one night, retard. The market is at a state of damage that will take years of new ideas and new government policies for the market to go back up. He's putting the same policies that makes other countries better financially stable.

[Darcksaac]

I guess you prefer a president who supports torture, censorship and declares wars on nations who have nothing to do with those who attack you. This guy is closing down Quantanimo, opening up with Cuba and devoting the effort to Afghanistan, the place that needs reel help. Not the bomb a place with more targets just for oil and manufacturing profits.

[dscroggs4]

lol yeah quoting Chris Rock i'll really take you serious now....as i've said previously you lost all credibility even more so now......so i'll stop wasting my time.......feel free to spread your hatred and stupidity though.....b/c the 1st amendment allows you to do so......and as usual 95% of those against him ...u have no ideas on what to do otherwise....u just say NO NO NO NO......and spread hate...... wanna debate? comeone up wiht some alternatives b/c we can't just do nothing.....

[dscroggs4]

yeah your 1st sentence sums up pretty much you're nothing more than a racist..... i understand now you're just ignorant is all....

[dscroggs4]

let me guess you watch fox news? and are ignorant to what's actually happend since he took office???? here let me give you a few headlines

WASHINGTON It's the clearest sign yet the recession is finally ending: Employers laid off far fewer workers in July, the jobless rate dipped for the first time in 15 months and workers' hours and pay edged upward.

Dow enjoys strongest July in 20 years, up 8.6 pct.

[alexgibson198209]

I could read my grocery list to that music and it will make everyone cry. this is such bullshit

[QuartuvLarry]

What the hell does this have to do with the movie Independence Day? The best comparison I can make is that of people who believe everything they hear about aliens with the people who believe every pretentious moral pontification in movies (to include one about aliens)

[Byczko21]

go Arche's ARMY!!!!!!

[TheCoveShorts]

what is obama talking about... he is all about hurting one group of people and only helping another... how can he say anything about coming together?

[Richards1289]

i hate obama he said he will bring troops home but he didnt he just took them out of iraq and then put them in afganistan

[joshwent]

Obama NEVER said he would bring troops home. All throughout the primaries and in the Presidential debates, he said that he would move troops to Afghanistan and Pakistan. If people actually LISTENED to what HE SAID, instead of assuming he was exactly like them because he was not a republican, we would all be much better off. Please wake up, and pay attention, EVERYONE!

[eddums]

independance day is the darkest day for the british empire.

[HaloTnt104]

cool

[storm974tube]

Do you want to exchange berlusconi-OBAMA?

[terencestormy]

obama is so stupid he doesn't know what he is doing he puts the same people that was working for bush to work for him

[lilwaynebo009]

Obama is the new Julius Caesar. He has manipulated the American Ppl with stupid land lord issues such as health care and other government controlled industries. We are not even political anymore and we elect ppl like obama how dare call ourselves patriots.

[nopoet406]

0:53 - utterly inspired and very uplifting, especially in this day and age.

[Cardiac112]

Great video dude. That was incredible. Perfect transitions. That shit got me..

[Deeragon]

Obama wants to enslave us,

[thefreshicepack]

fuck u, obama is our president.

[Deeragon]

Dude, Look a the White house website and you will see the Bill of Rights has been changed.

Educate your self on whats going on,

Bills like HR 45 HR 875  HR 1388

Our Liberty is being being taken away,,,,

[awbYEATS]

But this isn't an Obama exclusive problem, our rights have been slowly evaporating for quite some time now

[Deeragon]

true, However we have now switched into high gear! America will not look the same in a year or two.

[awbYEATS]

Patriot Act wasn't stepping it up to high gear?

[Deeragon]

They used 911 to make there shift,  Don't think I was a fan of bush. All these presidents after Kennedy have been Bilderberg puppets!

[Alonsp2]

after 9.11 , you're giving it happily for your security

[BeyondDGrave]

I didn't vote for Obama ;)

Fluff doesn't make up for content... and Obama does not have content.

Democracy is an insult to human intelligence.

[bentla17]

@Deeragon Wow....you just sound like an idiot dude.....

[Ishiki321]

man, that was awesome^^/ they are so good they make me tear up (i-i)/ please keep making these! i would watch them. ^-^

[artlthepolarbear]

that would of been so epic if obama at the end said "now lets go kick some alien ass"

[7D9s1L2]

I love the combination of the speech between a movie and reality.

[hukney]

why did you do this?

i mean dude u ruined the Independence Day Speech

[tomcat017]

@hukney couldn't have said that any better.

[qooe1]

@hukney Look, what Obama said is not wrong. There is truth in his words. But the bitter truth of reality has reached his visions and in some way it has also destroyed some of his dreams. But the idea still stands. Change everything we can into a better world.

[trainboy07]

That is so true. The Differnce is the Speech of President Thomas Mitchell and President Elect Barack Obama are not that to dis-simular other than one is movie and the other is reality so to the fact that the quote will live in history of a video and History making for the future history books generations to come. I am glad to see this history making event in my life time future president perhaps woman president.

[09erf8330]

is the new black taco called a baraco taco. ha.ha.ha.ha.

[critics11]

Obama Being Frank To Tell You This Has Never Happened Even In American History Either That The American People Has Got Such Strategic Lawful Leadership Who Has Came Forward With The Wonderful Committe You Acquired For The Modesty Glory Of Nation But Also For WorldWide When They Travel Along With The Policies For HumanMankind "Jesus Tomarrow Is Ours But What Today We Have Done Or Yesterday We Did Will Make The Difference For Bringing The Change".

[FHSTVAshes]

Dude, Tying Like This Makes Capitals Lose All Meaning, It's Annoying And No One Can Understand You.

[zzpsuper]

lol

[Travisab1]

When Obama gets outta prison for fraud ETC... I'll curse his name as I did the guy with the same name in Iraq that was caught in a spider hole in Iraq and soon hung. Down with ASSHOLES ETC...

[Sean167]

This is amaziing! Great Video! Can you mix Obama with the Braveheart speech? lol jk

[CL747]

obama should win the election

[mrguy89]

Epic.
