  • not unless he had a script he rehearsed for the days following up to the event.

  • Without a teleprompter / script or  whatever he was reading from....he wouldn't know "Jack" about NASCAR or even Who...was standing on either side of him. He loves publicity...and BS'ing those gullible enough to actually believe it... not only from him..but his whole crew on "the hill". He's like the "Judas Sheep"...leading all the "Sheeple" down the path to their own deaths. Don't be surprised...IF...there are No elections in 2012.

  • i may be canadian. but i LOVE obama! and i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE NASCAR! im a redneck at heart and always will be :P

  • I wonder if Jimmie Johnson will chaffeur President Obama after he completes NASCAR career....

  • when he said "please have a seat" i would stay standing lol.

  • i wonder if he even wrote that speech and if he did his research just because he was going to meet them - if so, that's cool that he showed that respect. but i don't think him hangin with nascar drivers is enough to say he's a great guy and president

  • that basturd was just trying to get the south to suporting by endorsing NASCAR and listen how he said God bless america all hes doing is trying to get the southerners to vote for him ...get out man you lier....go carl edwards

  • @jebyoung9960 and if another president did this you wouldn't think the same thing?

  • Comment removed

  • Can Australia have you president when you done with him?

    Our leader sucks and doesn't know what she is doing.

  • @aussiefox01 Ha! I'm with you.

  • @justintime1824 Exactly

  • ZEITGEIST explains it all perfectly... just google it!

  • He's so fake. Look at him reading the cards....

  • Tony Stewart in a suit.....lol

  • i love nascar but i don't think this is the right time to nascar things we are to fix american and fix it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama what the hell is wrong with you this is no game man... stop going to NBA games and work~!

  • If social perception of the administration and the president weren't necessary to woo pundits, the media, and public for their support, I think Obama would honestly prefer to hang out with his family in the residence or do something that doesn't involve cameras, speeches, and formalities.

    I willing to bet you he probably had less than 30 minutes blocked out of his day for this. 5 of those minutes were probably spent being briefed on what to say and who everyone is. Not exactly having a blast.

  • Learn how to spell before you try to talk about someone.

  • Obama, Glad to see you give some recognition to NASCAR. You have the best driver Jimmie Johnson next to you, props to you and Jimmie! JAX PM out.

  • YEEE HAAAAW

  • Give some examples of bad views. I see none.

  • What does Obama know about Nascar, he's from Chicago haha. What a joke he is, who's he fooling......Obviously a lot of people since a lot of idiots voted for him. I bet a lot of people would love to take back those votes.

    His Czar Van Jones should be fired before more damage is done. And I want my stimulus money back that went to convicts who were in for murder and rape.

    This Administration is a joke!!!!

  • How is this administration a joke? cash for clunkers was a huge success. it brought alot of sales to the automotive industries which in return Ford had to increase productivity by 30%. How is that, in this economy, a joke. He does alot to try and be on everybodys good side. so what if he doesnt like nascar, i LOVE nascar and its nice someone showing intrest cuz the rest of the world thinks nascar is a joke.

  • Your fucking dumb. Cash for clunkers is a HUGE mistake. Think about it. Get rid of these old cheap cars, so "people can make a down payment on new ones". Well what happens when all these cars are gone? What happens to the people who can't afford new cars?

    It's a scam. A few quick bucks to destroy a perfectly good car.

  • You dont have to do cash for clunkers, and the program itself hardly makes a dent in the amount of "old cars" that are in operating condition. The program exists to get families most families to have at least one fuel efficient modern car that emits less crap, to help curb issues that our society is causing with our extravagant needs.

  • Good thig that was bush because ether a shoe would have hit him or he would have nocked the trophy down LOL

  • Carl looks mighty good lookin' next to President Obama ... just had to add that tid-bit.

    Also, to those that consider race-fans to be ignorant? Just remember that some of the smartest Americans are working in the sport... whether that be as an engineer, a team owner (aka someone who is business savvy), or the Public Relations specialist working w/ Jeff Gordon or Carl Edwards.

    I'm proud to say that I will one day be that PR girl or someone working in marketing for Hendrick. I have drive

  • agree with u there race fans are some of the smartest fans out there

  • Thank God SOMEONE took notice of the 'redneck' sport. Anyone who disses NASCAR because Obama has 'better things to do' can kiss my ass. Thank you :)

  • As a fan of both (NASCAR and Obama), this seems really awkward and contrived. The sentiment is nice - keeping in touch with Americans of all demographics, recognizing NASCAR's influence and heritage - but the timing of this just feels odd.

    The 2009 Chase (the NASCAR 'playoffs') is about to begin and he's just now honoring the '08 champ... why?

  • Why do we tolerate our president going on vacations and wasting time on stuff life this?

    The economy is a disaster, we're occupying 2 foreign countries, and our biggest financiers (the Chinese, the Russians, the Saudis) are refusing to buy our debt and have actually started to decrease their holdings of US bonds!

    He's supposed our president, not some leisurely PR man.

  • because every president goes on vacation and thats nothing new. bush did it aswell why wasnt there critisism when he went and were in a "war on terror"

  • Bush kicked ass on terrorists. Obama isn't. He lied to everyone. Told them he would end this war and instead he sends more troops to Afghanistan. Gee, isn't that called a SURGE? When a large number of troops is deployed into battle? I thought he said he was agianst the surge.

    Another obama lie.

  • this is the thing people get from republican radio. Its stupid how you dont see it. We havent gotten attacked since bush beefed up security so we call it a success. We havent gotten attacked with obama y isnt he beign called a success? Now obama did not lie. in his campaign he mentioned the surge into afghanistan not iraq. Where are the terrorist harbored? Afgahnistan.

  • You idiot, there are terrorists in Iraq as well as Afghanistan. al qaeda originated in Afghanistan, but there are terrorists in Iraq just the same.

    Obama is turning the country to socialism. He is trying to lie his way through healthcare. He told people making less than $200K a year taxes would NOT go up. Lie.

  • There are terrorists in America. There are more "militias" here than any other country in the world.

    All he wants to do is make health care actually fulfill on their obligations instead of back out, improve preventive medicines so people do not return back all the time for more costly services, and promote medical advancement.

    If you think that is wrong then there is something seriously wrong with you. Stop watching O'Reilly and actually read up about his health plan.

  • You need to stop watching Olbermann and Chris matthews. Of course when we went over there terrorists were going to come out. Do you honestly believe that terrorists just suddenly popped out when we went over there? Hello, they've been hiding in their spider holes for how long?

    We turned Iraq from a dictatorship to a democracy. It was never about taking over Iraq. You can say it was about oil, but either way, we killed an evil dictator and a few of his kids. So we did something right.

  • Bush was fumbling it up until the surge, then he was finally managing to pull though, but we should not have got into that hell hole of political turmoil to begin with. Factions all over the place springing up to try to make a bid for powers, it should have been predicted that this would happen, but it never was. It also strengthened the resolve and made even more men come to the call to fight against us. Use your brain man.

  • "tear up my backyard"... more like the people that voted for/against you getting into office's backyard.

  • i don't understand how cars driving around in a circle very fast has anything to do with protecting the environment or a lot of the other qualities he was mentioning. then again I'm not American. I usually like Obama but this seemed very staged. i didn't connect with it at all.

  • Driving Stock Cars around in circles very fast protects the environment but you are too much of an idiot to see the obvious.

  • I don't know man, what is it that you think makes me dumb. your defiantly biased seeing that your name is what it is. i think your a waste of my time.

  • im gona snipe you out obama^^

  • that is considered a threat and you can be prosecuted.

  • if secret service saw that comment you would be arrested in no time.

  • obama is trying to get on the good side of nascar fans...even though he has NO idea what he was talking about. "chad knaus...dd i say that right?" are you kidding me? if you watched nascar even a little bit you would know who that is.

  • I bet the far left are now pissed off at President Obama now for honoring what they consider "white trailor trash." Honoring NASCAR is basically the same as honoring FOX News. The only republicans I know are broke as fuck. Democrats need to be above broke white people.

  • wtf? nascar is basicly my life. im a republican. im not white trash. and im not poor. dont make judgements like that.

  • If you think Nascar is boring, you have not been to a race. Now watching Golf, that is boring, even though I have watched at Pebble Beach pro-am. Boring.

  • you are boring.

  • ._. ½ Lol

  • wonder if he can trade in his old stock cars for the cash for clunkers. nascar is as exciting as watchin grass grow.

  • reading your comments is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

  • way to be creative, suprised racing fans even know what a computer is.

  • I don`t have a car :(

  • LOL.....

  • DAMN YOU SECRET SERVICE !!!! that would have been awsome to see the prez take the 48 tor a ride...

  • thank you for recognizing our NASCAR Stars

  • hes doing this so he can show all the ignorant redneck teabaggers that hes down with them and thier culture

  • as opposed to what culture u racist liberal piece of trash

  • im white so dont push that racist crap on me and you know what if there was a war against you retard conservitives we would win you know why cause we are intelligent and not fat stupid fucks who sit on thier couch all day smoking meth and fucking animals ill give it to you guys you could probably make some bathtub c4 but we would win because there are way more of us than there are of you the last election proved it HEALTHCARE REFORM FTW maybe they can kill all you low iq douches off

  • The majority of white liberals are flaming racist, jew haters and christian hatemongers

  • Yeah, what planet do you spend most of your time on? You're saying that with all the Christian right, gay-hating right-wingers, that liberals are racist haters?? Yeah....right.

  • i am saying that.

    Most liberals hate christians.

    Most liberals hate jews and israel

    most liberals hate straight people

    most liberals are hate monging bigots

  • And I'm saying you're an ignorant bigot!

  • haha

  • Very ignorant comments dude.

  • ahahahahahaha how old are u 14?

  • I,m white, Christian, and a liberal. And you sure are ignorant.

  • The President is not only about politics

  • Comment removed

  • Obama is doing a good job of keeping his events of recognition diverse. Just like he promised on the campaign trail, he is focused on what makes the U.S. a great country and avoiding what tears our citizens apart into left and right cliques.

  • Tohobbes: avoiding what tears our citizens apart?!?! Infanticide? Forced Unionizing (Card Check)? Amnesty for ILLEGAL aliens? Socialized Medicine? Cap and Tax? Give me a break.

  • Abortion isn't infanticide, and health care reform has nothing to do with socialized medicine.

    Why don't I ever hear any arguments that attack Obama's ideas, all I hear is "Obama is a socialist", or "Obama is an attention hoar!" Sure, keep attacking the man rather than the ideas, that'll help the right wing win more seats in the house next year.

    PS: I hope you hated Bush just as much for giving amnesty to illegal aliens, that would at least make your opinions consistent, if not fair.

  • thank you tohobbes!

  • How many more issues/policies would you like me to cover? Apart from Socialized medicine - by the way is EXACTLY what Obama is pushing- and Card Check, and Cap and Trade, and Amnesty.... How about Stimulus? Tarp? Omnibus? 3.6 Trillion dollar budget? How about taking over banks and auto companies?

    This is solely based on Obama's POLICIES and has absolutely nothing to do with him as a person. With a little research, you can find the truth. Question with Boldness! Speak without fear!

  • And.......I, as most conservatives do, stand against policies that harm our country or fellow Americans, REGARDLESS of political party. I stood strong against Bush w/his Amnesty push and also against the bailouts from the beginning. I do not believe in party, I believe in America and her people!!

  • If you simply quote to me a laundary list of things you hate that you attribute to Obama, your just finding many different ways to say "Obama is a socialist." What I mean is, pick one issue and argue it specifically. Although a YouTube forum with a 300 character limit isn't the best place for debate.

    The point is "taxing upper class = socialism" or "abortion = infanticide" are such simple-minded criticisms. It isn't true, it's just complaining. That's your prerogative but it isn't productive.

  • Well said Tohobbes I wonder do the people who use the Nazi meme realize how disrespectful it is to Jewish Americans. Hitler was man who systematically tried to destroy a whole race. What has our President done to even come close to this type of comparison. I will answer for you...NOTHING! Sadly a lot of this vitriol is covered in racism. Painting him up as the Joker? Putting a Hitler mustache on him? How does that further your case. It doesn't! But it does create fear and that's all you have.

  • I wonder what sport will come out of cannabis prohibition? Will we ever be invited to the Whitehouse lawn? Shameless BHM shameless. That was the circus what time is the bread?

  • Ugh, go away. If I check your video's, will I find some white supremacist bull?

  • Ummm... Ummm... Like Dave Chappel I am the "Black White Supremacist"  Why dont check my videos first instead of jumping to conclusions. Like obama is jumping at pushing these bills to fast and now out of desperation. Wow. I was banned for explicit freedom.

  • Better contry???????

  • obama rocks.

  • obama sucks

  • nice quality

  • It's funny how the uneducated, i.e. you and other neo-con republican hotheads, cannot even spell when you spout bull.  It's "applause" not 'applaus'.

  • check the country which i am from, you american idiot :D

  • dont clap in front of mic plz Mr. Obama, thx

  • I am surprised Obama didn't offer them Cash 4 Clunkers...lol ...Obama please come to the race track....lol

  • I like the Marines in the background. The way they moved and stood, looked like they were the ultimate bodyguards!

  • They are the ultimate bodyguards

  • How the hell can a president that wants to stop climate change advocate a bunch of morons driving 500 miles as fast as possible?

  • they are not morons like to see you try it.

  • no one cares what you think, and no one wants to shake your hand.

  • What an important honoring of our country's best & bravest.

    There is no better way our president could spend him time than giving praise to NASCAR.

  • Can you imagine if W put out a weekly address during his reign?

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

    USA from '01-'08 = Worst I'll Ever Witness

  • I wouldn't say that. I'm a Republican Nascar fan who doesn't want the public healthcare option, but Obama's still my president.

  • awwee ! I love Jimmie ! what a cutiee ... and he looks so nervous when he gets his picture taken ! awwee ! :)

  • Thumbs up on that one! He has Arnold Schwarzenegger working on it.

  • he is a guy like u and me and it show, watching fox news is nuts.

  • the term "God Bless America" shouldn't be taken literally. Just like the term "God save the queen", etc. They're said as a form of respect to the country, not as a prayer.

  • Comment removed

  • necesito que me ayuden para permanecer en u.s por amo ami familia

  • why does you has to destroy the english language?

  • In spite of all the hateful comments yelled by uninformed mobs, we, Americans, will have affordable health care for everybody. We want options away from private insurers who have abused our trust and our dollars. We have paid high premiums and been rewarded by 'coverage denied'. We have the $ and the wisdom to provide universal health care. Call Congress if you want health care to change for the better. The sane outnumber the insanity of loud & wrong hate-mongers who are pawns of Outrage, Inc.

  • Who's the guy he's shaking hands with ?

  • Obama is the best president we have had since FDR. Thank God that dumb ass McSahme and Failin are not in charge or else we would be in the deepest depression in the history of the country.

  • You're stupid for saying that. NASCAR has been going to the white house since the 1970s.

  • You know its close to Armageddon when US the secret service won't arrest men for coming to public meetings armed with loaded assault rifles. What 's this country coming to anyway? Our countrys right wing fringe (the New World Order Group - called Faction 1B form David Wilcox) has hijacked our country, supported Bush/Cheney, who orchestrated 911, & profiteered from invading a country based on the lies of 911, Saddam & WMD, & we have these delusional paranoid wackos calling Obama a "Socialist"

  • Talk about pissing away tax dollars I get the ass every time I see the Army, Coast Guard, Marines etc. pasted on the side of a race car.

  • I love the comments from NASCAR Republicans. You can tell they have low IQ's because of the piss poor grammar and poor spelling.

  • YEE HAW!

  • Should of run the long legged macdaddy over (several times)

  • He only talked about Jonson, i bet the other guys were pist

  • OK this is fine but now it is time to close the deal on health care. If you have to do it George W Bush style, so be it, just get it done.

  • Also, his foreign policy (willingness to negotiate instead of being gun-ho) is something I agree with. The closing of Guantanamo Bay is long overdue, and Obama did that on day 2.

    He also signed various Executive Orders allowing for more transparency in government, and he has been acting to make government more transparent, thus meaning that everything his administration does can be seen and accessed by the American public and the media. There's none of this "secretly stealing/hiding/etc." bull.

  • to a limit, the people sewing for documents still have to fight to get the documents they want

  • "...support him was his religion"? That makes no sense.

    Anyway, I've been away for a couple of weeks, so I haven't kept up with the Health Care debate. However, his Iraq pull-out plan is something I agree with. I also agree with his position on the War in Afghanistan.

    The bailouts sucked, but both main candidates supported them. The stimulus package actually worked, which is why the economy is recovering (albeit slowly) sooner than expected. Not sure how he "stole" $23.7 trillion, but OK.

  • that is exactly what democracy means, by definition. that it doesnt work is evident. but i dont see many alternatives.

    the thing is even being the majority doesnt make your choices right.

  • MARINES IN THE BACKROUND WOOOT

  • lol best comment  =P

  • nascar in tha house folks*******

  • I don't give a damn if the President worships rocks. I didn't vote for him nor support him because of his religion, but because of his policies.

  • worshipping rocks sounds like fun! why did we have to end up with these other religions :(

  • Well this is a good sign for NASCAR at least.

  • If this country ran on "Majority Rules", we'd still have slavery.

    And don't say "Then why was the Civil War fought", because it wasn't over slavery.

  • jadebrew,

    What is going on with those poll numbers buddy?

  • Did you call the Gallup Organization as ask them?

  • PEW: Democratic Party ratings plummet... GALLUP: OBAMA HITS NEW LOW...

    What the hell is going on libs?

  • His ratings are still better than the dummy that was in office 8 years before...

  • Not for long. By the end of his term he will have just as bad of ratings as George W. Bush. They all start out good and slowly go down hill from there.

  • I don't think so... Besides, it's unrealistic to think that ratings stay high 100% of the time anyway.

    He's still doing more than the last jackass whether he has high or low ratings...

  • exactly I agree 100% he's done more since January than the last one did in 8 years.

  • @cherrypiezeen

    Sure he has. Socializing my country. I wonder what will happen in the next half. We may be communist by then. Do you care if we turn into a socialist nation. Because i sure as hell do. You asked for change, hell give you change you didnt expect

  • @cherrypiezeen name 1 good thing that Obama did since january. You can't, because he hasn't. The only thing he's done is try to destroy this great country with his socialistic views.

  • @ggrtmthy1 yes saving the lower class is socialistic view

  • @cherrypiezeen Name 1.

  • @cherrypiezeen yeah your right he has put us how many MORE billions of dollars in debt and he also has done alot MORE to destroy our country. i could find a job when bush was in office not saying bush was great but now i cant find a job to support my family. he is a joke.

  • the people are tired of your branned of so called change obama. this is what we want watch?v=TG6ivNLJeVI

  • ---and you're an anti-American and should be immediately deported, prick.

  • Obama is not the brilliant mind we've been lead to believe. Speaking spontaneously,he reveals a poor grasp of issues,and for a Havard educated lawyer,is amazingly lacking in rhetoric skills. This is the "Manchurian Candidate" re-enacted in real life

  • rollinglibs101,

    You can't prove that! We have never seen him speak without notes or a teleprompter. Maybe he should just start lip-syncing? They could play his voice over the P.A. and Barry could just move his lips.

  • GREAT!

  • Barry Barry Barry...... how much longer will we be subjected to your nonsense?

  • Seven and a half more years =) Deal with it.

  • Karl Edwards fails in first few secs :P

  • first black guy that actually payed any attention to nascar

  • Wendell Scott, Jacksonville 1963. Google it.

  • ok, first black guy to pay attention to nascar in over 40 years

  • Bill Lester, Brad Daugherty, Marc Davis,, etc, etc...

  • **gawddamnit**

  • You're incorrect pal...

  • Skatemore48

    The first person with any teeth to pay any attention to Nascar. He should be holding a can of 'Natural Light' in his hand.

  • why do the guards place their hands on their stomach the moment he says "welcome to the white house" ?

  • thts cool but do we srsly need Obama with a racecar right now lol thts still cool

  • nescar is a uniquely american sport. just like football and wwe. only americans are simple minded enough to like something as uninteresting as that.

  • It must suck for Obama to pretend to be interested in such an intellectually crushing "sport" like Nascar.

  • i thought the same. his speeches arent exactly brimming with enthusiasm either anymore. but i also think that you cant bore people to death with the usual republicans vs democrats and health care reform war all the time. some distraction is good. would be funnier to see him count grass blades or something like that though D:

  • you are being bombarded with "information" regarding the health care reform from all sides, all the time. do you really want to see more of that?
