At a time where nearly all politicians democrat or republican, speak with empty words and promises, I find hope in Senator Rubio's words. Unjaded by years, in an enviroment that ALWAYS takes its toll, he is an inspiration. I pray with all I have that he is guided by all that is good and that all good things come to him. Thank you for giving me hope that there are still capable leaders out there!
and especially for the stuff he says from around minute 12:00: are americans really believe that they are the saviour of the world? that everyone needs them? they torture innocent people too - look at the things happend in guantanamo bay. they kill innocent people too - look at all this casualties in iraq and afghanistan. they go for the oil to iraq with the excuse to find weapons of mass destruction. they want - like the radical islams - bring their way of life to everyone. it's just pathetic.
and furthermore...what is all this crap about god? why should god prefer the arrogant americans over any other people in the world? why should god stand for one side at all? i thought americans are so educated - and still they believe that god sends a certain politician? thats pathetic. and blasphemous.
what a theatrical bullshit. typical for americans. thinking they were the greatest people on earth.
what about killing all the indians/indigenous people? what about the killing of hundert times more innocent people in afghanistan/iraq than in the devastating attacs of 9/11? what about atomic bombs in japan where there was no need to kill so many innocent people? etc. etc. etc.
Senator Rubio would absolutely destroy President Obama in a one-on-one debate. If Rubio were awakened at three in the morning and was told to articulate why America is a great country, he could tell you--reflexively, succinctly, with clarity and passion. Awaken President Obama at three in the morning, ask him anything, and he'll be looking for the teleprompter.
This fucktard's parents aren't even real Amerkins. And Marco's just an anchor baby. I bet he don't even like bacon or know who Dale Earnhardt is. USA! USA! USA!
Rubio how does Perry french kiss? Rubio and others who do this - stop being Republican just to hide the fact you are gay. Even though you make your face as expressionless as you can the gay, the lisp, the gestures are still apparent, though not as obvious as Marcus Bachmann. You got married and had children; everyone gets it you’re a complete follower. Do you have to take being in the closet THIS far? America is sick of you Hoover types!
Sen. Rubio: the best to you launching new Jobs with clean energy and exporting the technology and products :Hybrid-electric plug-in cars-trucks-tractors made in USA. Solar & Wind 1-5 kW systems for homes, factories, greenhouses, parking lots, roads,backwaters & garbage dumps,etc. Compact fuel-cells ,geothermal systems and new chips & technologies to create Electricity from Light - Heat - Motion for homes & smartphones: America is waiting for these new Jobs,thanks. newenergies2007.blogspot.com
@Mcalister011 Once you really study the subject of economics, you will shift from laughing to understanding why it's true. If you want, I could help tutor you.
Good speech but it completely ignores the fact that America is declining not only in prosperity but in regards to the civil liberties and equality that once made us great, thanks to our misguided approach to "national security". The main flaw here is that the senator confuses the "shining lights" metaphor with our military might which might make sense since that is the only aspect of our society where we are practically unchallenged but it speaks volumes of how far we have fallen.
I love this guy, and hope he will stay clean and pursuing his ideals. America, " We the People" here and around the world need so badly... Washington is a terrible place but you can do it...Go Marco!!!
Yes he was born in Florida, but his parents are immigrants from Cuba, legal immigrants that is. Which is another reason he'll eventually be an appealing candidate. By 2016 there will be a Republican incumbent running for VP, however.
This guy needs to be groomed for the presidency! finally a candidate that we can be proud of. I dont care if he is green with purple polka dots, I would vote for him.
Great speech. This young senators energy, God fearing attitude, American should be in leadership of this country. It's time that younger men take the lead, with great ideas, with less government. Thank you for your service Sen. Rubio
To conquer everyone among the competitors is to make the best and maximum use of Social Networking and the Internet Media. I'm glad you're done this and please continue to do so...
He has a gift for communication. Many politicians of both parties only parrot "talking points" ad nauseum. Senator Rubio breaks the mold and speaks his own mind and in his own voice. He is an original..
@finsdefis Ooops! You're too late...he already got the vote. He's a newly elected Senator from Florida. Moreover, much of his speech concerns policy...I heard nothing hollow nor anything hailing Mary. Try listening more closely you might learn something.
I love this guy! Brilliant using the Kennedy speech, pure genius. That's the maneuvering to begin crossing party lines and coming to some kind of consensus on issues. The bottom line is that conservative or liberal, each side represents some valid viewpoints that need to be objectively considered. Also, I just realized how sad it is that we have to say "side" when we're referring to our own countrymen...I guess we should both be playing for the same team right?
What a shame that these humble, noble and truthful words cannot find their way to the mainstream news media. Instead, we get soundbites of Obama's political lies, siren deceptions and deceit coached in folksy phrases.
This was a great speech!! We need more men like him in Washington. He tells it like it is. I've seen him on interviews--he is always calm and gets to the point.
I'm tired of the liberals hiding their insecurities, about their own selfishness, in half-assed social welfare plans.

The only thing they believe in is themselves.
@AX49 and you came to that conclusion based on what exactly ?
i wish people like you would stop thinking conservative vs liberal and think what is right for america.
being conservative doesnt mean you are a Nazi and being liberal doesnt mean you are a socialist, it just means you have different ideas of how things should be done.
being on either side doesnt make you less or more patriotic, or insult a soldier. just stop, you make yourself look stupid saying things like that.
thank god we still have americans who are proud of being americans. Marco Rubio bravo. The United States of America is not a perfect nation, we have screwed up many times in our history. But the key thing is we are true free democracy and we have the ability to change and fix all the wrongs we have committed. I'm tired of the left media mega-conglomerates holding america's intellectual capacity hostage, I'm tired of these socialist trying to destroy the values our country was founded on
Wow! misctikal, that's a non sequitur if I ever read one. It's really interesting how liberals are so quick to be politically correct, but when it comes to an articulate, hispanic descent, conservative, liberals are quick to label them as drug dealers. It sure do seems that they're running scared from another popular conservative. I suppose we'll have to hear the low blow name calling when it comes to Rubio from now on.
As many remember, during the last presidential election, the so called “pure conservative” claimed that Obama was a marxist and a muslim because his father and stepfather were both muslims and marxists. Well, I guess if we are going to apply the same “pure conservative” standard, we can make the case, and it would be fair to say, that Marco Rubio is a drug dealer because his family were drug dealers. Sounds moronic, right? So, which is it, Senator?
Great Speech Marco ! I voted for you but refused to campaign for you because I think your decision to IGNORE the other candidates in the Republican primary was a poor decision. I think you would have won the debate that you REFUSED to have... Anyway, the past is past. Great Speech I look forward to many more. I pray that you don't become corrupted in DC :)
Now THIS is an eloquent and passionate speech that deserves to be heard by every student in America! Obama could never compete with this one! Great job Senator Marco Rubio! Stands and applauds....Bravo, Bravo Senator Rubio!
@alpharben You make no sense, Rubio is American, born in America. Why would he govern a country that is not nor never was his? Obama's father was Kenyan. Do you argue that he should be their leader? Please, if you are going to comment...at least be logical
@sxyphatboy Well, actually he's both. He's an American citizen, but of Latin American descent. From the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a Latino is "a person of Latin-American origin living in the United States."
@lithium6977 YES!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!!! WE ARE ALL AMERICANS FIRST, then we are what we are based on where we came from. Thank you sir, you made my day.
@kfrelander Can we PLEASE drop this hyphenated american CRAP?!? WHO gives a SHIT if he is LATNO? He is an AMERICAN with an agenda for a better nation. This "First Black President" BULLSHIT is what go a man elected to office who couldn't find his ASS with BOTH hands and a MAP! As John Wayne once said "A Hypenated American is NOTHING MORE than a SEPERATE American" and THAT is what we DON'T need right now. It's time to get the SHIT out of Washington and get THIS man into office!
@W6DX actually that's not what irks 'liberals' -- we get how special this republic is. We get that it doesn't belong to a religious right---that the USA is not God's country. We don't want the government in our business anymore than you guys do.
Why would I elect ANYONE that thinks PRAYING is actually a viable response to anything???? Wake up and smell the BS.
Rubio: Blind to how HIS faith/religion has done ALL of the SAME things he attributes to radical Islam.
@g206029 Really? You get how special this republic is? Is that why Liberals want to make us more like Europe? Is that why Liberals want to end the Electoral College which is one of the things that keeps this a republic? If you really get how special this republic is, then a person's religious views, even if they are Christian views, would not be what keeps you from voting for them. The fact that you can't differentiate between Christianity and Islam indicates your ignorance.
@g206029 I believe that radical islamists bombed the WTC in your country. Don't think you have to worry about his religion organizing to bomb you out of the sky, nor kill American soldiers in a U.S. military base, nor organizing to attack your country at every and any opportunity. You have made quite a charge which I don't believe you can in any way substantiate.
great speech. scary to think Crist could have won that seat. talk about a stark difference. so much for the demagoguery about Rubio being too conservative.
Senator Rubio understands who America was, is and will be. How inspiring!! He can lead the country as far I'm concerned, and I'm concerned a lot more than I ever have been. We must save our country, our liberty and our freedom to grow businesses again, please get informed and support, indorse and vote for any true constitutional Conservative like Senator Rubio.
May god bless and keep Marco Rubio our next President. Maybe not this time, but certainly the next time. I just hope it won't be to late for our country. Every member of our family including all of our neighbors will vote for him. I haven't met one person who doesn't like Marco. I bet the rest of the politicians didn't hear a word.
Thank you Senator Marco Rubio for an inspirational speech worthy of a nation sitting up and taking notice that you are a force to be reckoned with and on your way to being a future President! Go Marco Rubio!!!
Marco Rubio has never lost sight or voice for what is most important to our nation -- to all of us as Americans. His ability to articulate and, hopefully, motivate us all is his greatest gift.
I am so proud of this fine American miracle, this wonderful United States Senator.
Thank you Rubio for your patriotic & moral convictions. We are ever capable of getting this right. I'm so proud to have you represent Florida. PLEASE consider running for president. We need new, fresh, good moral & ethics in leadership for this great country to continue to keep it great.
Thank you Rubio for your patriotic & moral convictions. PLEASE run for president. We need new, fresh, moral leadership in this great country to continue to keep it great. I am proud to have you represent Florida in the Senate.
I am amazed to read "Another Hail Mary to gut feelings in order to get the vote". Ok if that is what you think what should Mr. Rubio have said??? This, in case you didn't understand or comprehend, was his VERY FIRST SPEECH on the Senate floor. Maybe you like him and maybe you don't but at least there is something to be heard in his speech. He is right on about America and it is clear to me that you cannot put politics aside to HEAR a good speech!! Shame on you!
There is a hope displayed in Marco's speech that is inspiring. It is up to us in the next election to make wise choices if we will ourselves to once again be great and a leader for freedom in the world.
truly this speech has moved me and restored some of my faith left in politicians I'd vote for Rubio in a heart beat. I hope Marco has a long and fruitful career in his future.
Yes I am witness our next president...Thank you Marco for commitment and love to our Couintry. I was born in Cuba, but most of my adult life I spend in the United of America...My husband,my children & grandchildren Country and mine Country too...We are blessed to have you representing our State of Florida, we supported you before and we are still here for you when ever you call for our help! God Bless!
Aside from the absolute patriotism, graciousness and class displayed by MY SENATOR - and it makes me SO PROUD to be able to say that - did anyone notice that he can do this without a teleprompter?
I love this guy! Practice saying it with me: "President Rubio."
Like many of you, I voted for him too. Those pictures of a devout family man, the promises of reform and restoring the US Constitution... but alas he is just another liar in a Brooks Brothers suit. Check his voting record before you type your sycophant comments!
Senators Who Voted to Extend the Patriot Act and Further Kill Liberty and Freedom:
"Sen. Marco Rubio [R, FL] Aye"
He talks great, but what has he done to restore the freedoms he so eloquently speaks of?! We have a cancer in America, it's called the Patriot Act and Rubio voted not only to extend it, but for the added amendments further erroding the US Constitution!
I guess he wants to be the last free generation in his family!!!
I'd like to know how many senators were in their seats when this speech was delivered or whether the Senate was mostly empty. I, too, like Rubio's sentiments, but his politics are the same, tired Republican rhetoric about lowering taxes and cutting spending. That hasn't worked for the last 25 years, and it won't work now.
Let's see Rubio propose specifics about how he sees we can achieve the goals he laid out at the beginning of his speech. We now know hiis heart is in the right place.
I had to come to youtube to search for this speech. There is no doubt that this man loves this country and totally gets what makes America the great nation she has been, and that is the "unleashing" of the American people. Get your experience FAST Marco, we need you!
He's young, but.....and he's saying what should have been said by both sides of the aisle. Stop the bickering and get to work. To quote Marco - " If we give America a government that could live within its means, the American economy will give us a government of considerable means." Think about it, really think about it. Our future depends upon it.
WOW. Now THIS is what an American President should be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone who has pride and belief in this country and it's people, not one who apologizes for us.
A senator is not a leader but a representative of his polity. He comes from a strong background and his ideals are admirable, and I appreciate his passion. However, I'm not sure that I strictly agree with his ideas for policy.
You are looking at the future President of the United States! I only wish the Republicans would see the light and draft him for 2012. Marco Rubio would beat Barack Obama and beat him decisively. In the process he would unite the country.
Good speech. Premature on the Presidential talk. I say lets see what he can do in the Senate. I am happy he beat out dumb dumb Gov Crist. Now next.... Lets replace the other dumb dumb Senator.
Good speech. Premature on the Presidential talk. I say lets see what he can do in the Senate. I am happy he beat out dumb dumb Gov Crist. Now next.... Lets replace the other dumb dumb Senator.
We need Marco Rubio's leadership..now..today. We can't wait, Senator. Your country is calling you and needs you now. Please respond and make yourself a candidate for President in 2012!
Hello Marco, I am also a hispanic who worked many years as an Electrical Engineering Tech in electric power distribution for a major utility in New York State and who has retired in the Central Florida area. I am delighted to see a hispanic rise to the post of Senator in our state. Congratulations on your accomplishment and may God guide you throughout your endeavors both inside and outside of government. I hope that America can rebound from its current deficit and remain a world leader!!
I grew up under communism and am now proud to be an American citizen. I was indoctrinated to hate this country but now would gladly give my life for this great nation without hesitation. America is good and it us indeed the world's last best hope. Let no one tell you otherwise. My every dream has come true here. You just have to want it.
All I can say is... the people of Florida did a fantastic job in 2010 when they elected Allen West & Marco Rubio. Thank you so much for your patriotism Senator Rubio. It is appreciated beyond what words can say.
At a time where nearly all politicians democrat or republican, speak with empty words and promises, I find hope in Senator Rubio's words. Unjaded by years, in an enviroment that ALWAYS takes its toll, he is an inspiration. I pray with all I have that he is guided by all that is good and that all good things come to him. Thank you for giving me hope that there are still capable leaders out there!

As many remember, during the last presidential election, the so called “pure conservative” claimed that Obama was a marxist and a muslim because his father and stepfather were both muslims and marxists. Well, I guess if we are going to apply the same “pure conservative” standard, we can make the case, and it would be fair to say, that Marco Rubio is a drug dealer because his family were drug dealers. Sounds moronic, right? So, which is it, Senator?

Great Speech Marco ! I voted for you but refused to campaign for you because I think your decision to IGNORE the other candidates in the Republican primary was a poor decision. I think you would have won the debate that you REFUSED to have... Anyway, the past is past. Great Speech I look forward to many more. I pray that you don't become corrupted in DC :)

@alpharben You make no sense, Rubio is American, born in America. Why would he govern a country that is not nor never was his? Obama's father was Kenyan. Do you argue that he should be their leader? Please, if you are going to comment...at least be logical

He is right on about America and it is clear to me that you cannot put politics aside to HEAR a good speech!! Shame on you!

I'd like to know how many senators were in their seats when this speech was delivered or whether the Senate was mostly empty. I, too, like Rubio's sentiments, but his politics are the same, tired Republican rhetoric about lowering taxes and cutting spending. That hasn't worked for the last 25 years, and it won't work now.
Let's see Rubio propose specifics about how he sees we can achieve the goals he laid out at the beginning of his speech. We now know hiis heart is in the right place.

He's young, but.....and he's saying what should have been said by both sides of the aisle. Stop the bickering and get to work.

Our future depends upon it.
