[Fef8bit]

lol

[COD4GEEK1]

wow, not one year ago?

[clwaltz]

1st view.

[jasonj3100]

bubble sort yesssssssss who can forget that.

[pistrinus]

it looks like he knows what is going on to me

[PeggyDay57]

Wait a minuet! Weren't the computer question and bubble sort answer a joke?

[TexanProgressive]

Wow, I can't believe Obama even understood the computer science question! Talk about smart!! They should have the presidential candidates play a round of Jeopardy! or something. I guarantee he would smoke McCain!

[Jay30152]

Barack is going to be the next president an can't wait for the change that he plans to put into action

[tony45347]

Obama 08

[allclassified]

IF OBAMA NOT ELECTED WILL BE BIG LOST..

[89031NV]

obama for president

[lnxmusic]

what a guy. go obama

[Chlumani]

BARACK OBAMA IS THE FUTURE. He's intelligent and wise, compassionate and sincere not to mention a very multicultural global citizen! PLEASE VOTE on behalf of a Finn like me too :) I'm his greatest fan and when the America Barack talks about is established I'll be the biggest fan of your country.

It'll be interesting to see the image of America we have here in Europe shift from loathe for the idiot to admiration for the wise man... PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN! I'm tired of loathing your country.

[starfins1]

Thanks for sharing this. Go Obama! Without him? Oh god help U.S.!

[20Tomas08]

Im irish but this guy RULES, make him ur president, reminds me of the rock

[paigia]

obama is freaking smart, he even knew the bubble-sort which only computer science students know!

[benteudarius]

vote him people!

[markrpg]

Hey im form UK and i can tell you obama im extremely happy your going into office :) you becoming president jst makes me wanna move to USA becuase atm UK is a waste of time our prime minister is an ass hat

[8data]

eric schmidt rox

[newsgirl23]

How refreshing to hear a candidate actually answer tough questions, rather than dance around them! OBAMA '08!!!

[colderama]

really talking sound sense in the facts of strong diplomacy.

[JJPaten]

He should be president just to see how what he says goes smoothly.

[rarbit]

Obama is brilliant. Can the same be said about McCain?

[MDBurck]

I still can't comprehend how an out of touch idiot like Bush won a 2nd term... Obama is knowledgeable and when he speaks, he sounds real, sincere, and clear. VOTE OBAMA!

[spudgunman131]

Man he is such a good speaker

[aphdes]

if you don't vote for this guy you must be nuts.

[xbixbi]

WOW, How did we make it to this point without the GREAT OBAMA? A NEW SOCIALIZED AMERICA is the only way. I already sold my SUV and set my thermostat to 68.

I think once we disarm this country the rest of the world will like us again. GO OBAMA!!!

[hwebb5454]

Good lord. I can't stand this man. He's as big a phony as I've ever saw.

[duckscli]

Straight to the point, honest , friendly and thinks rationally. I think he is what America needs.

[sweginswegin]

Did I detect a reference to Lake Wobegon?

[OconByrd519]

Obama being elected president will be a great moment in US history. I truly hope he wins but i am Hobbsian in my views and fear AMerica will once again fuck this up.

[HerHighness73]

Thank God for sending us this candidate. Let us be wise enough to elect him and not pass up this opportunity!!

[lbeebe2]

I love your message, you speak from the heart!! This is an 'human-evolution' campaign and your spirit knows this and it shines through.....!!

[sphinxman90]

I would wish that all Obama supporters and non-supporters would also listen to "Interview with Shelby Steele on Barack Obama" also on You Tube, very interesting.

[siswonri]

support from indonesia. OBAMA '08!

[wellwhatevr22]

the bubble-sort would be the wrong way to go...hahahah!

This guy is intelligent!

[mprime2003]

obama08

[MXscooter]

[hayaam8]

Blessings be upon you Barack.

We make USA for us. We will rule!!

[hayaam8]

Blessings be upon you Barack.

We make USA for us. We will rule!!

[kolzoi]

obama !!!

[mesh69hotmailcom]

People often ask me, as hard off as I am,

"Why did you donate money to Barack Obama?"

Well that raises the more important question,

"Why haven't YOU donated to Barack Obama yet?"

Change is happening NOW America.

Be a part of it.

This man IS America.

Let's get it RIGHT this time!

YES WE CAN!

[Roushman90]

Obama 08'!

[Casnazer]

I think alot of us Ron Paul Supporters are going for Obama. I know I am, but I honestly wouldn't mind running under Hillary either if she somehow ends winning on the demi side.

[Thirunav]

Another Great Interview...giving us an indepth understanding of this man and what he stands for.Tho some of the solutions he proposes are not as easily accomplished in the real world. He seems to have a good grasp of whats happening around the world and that is very refreshing given the fact that we have had an Imbecile as the US president for the last 7 years! Hope he wins and Brings America back as a country which can be respected and trusted to lead the world in the future. GO OBAMA GO.

[pablorachi1]

yes we can

[jcbigbro]

I believe Obama will win the nominee for the democratic party. I have seen the Hillary debates and Obama's debates and it's clear that Obama has a better understanding of what USA needs and how to place the US role to the world.

Go obama

[directorsenator]

this guy is very smart OBAMA 08 plz americans think wat do you really need, same old shit or a brand new start.

[codesurgeonblog]

I watched this talk live via VC at Google. He really seems up to the job and does not evade critical topics. I highly agree with him on most subjects - being a geek, his intention of nominating a CTO for the country is just great :)

[Pulser71]

I believe this is the sort of president America needs, i strongly think he will clear up the air and change GWB's definition of international relations where America will actually be more liked by the rest of the world. Good Luck!

[cometheway]

Go Obama Go, i believe in you. May the courage and love of God take you to victory.

[quixoto]

"Part of my job as president is to break the fever of fear that's been exploited by this administration."

Well put!

[BlueApple00]

what the hell is a bubble sort?! LOL, Bama's the man.

[Voltechs]

It's a search algorithm. You could... you know.. 'Goggle' it ;-)

[keygbay]

Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm. The algorithm gets its name from the way smaller elements "bubble" to the top of the list. There are other sorts that are usually considerably more efficient.

[kuuktuu]

I pray to God that no one try to assasinate this man. I say this because he is a great man and great caracters such as his often get the ''wrong'' people pissed off.

[gabecollett]

I Hope that Will Smith can campaign for him

Will, join Obama, Homie

We will win with will and O8ama

[gabecollett]

Barac the Vote O8ama

WE ARE GOING TO WIN

Time for a new man

THE MAN WITH THE PLAN

Mr Obamas time is now

[gabecollett]

all I give up

no more obama love yous

or riscee comments

Have a great one youtube, you guys are the best

[gabecollett]

Eric is getting better as an interviewer

Hes not just a techie god

but a complicated, multifaceted man

OBAMA 08

[Zctrl]

A smart man, rare find in politics.

He's got my vote, his leadership is the only way to repair America's integrity.

[Maphusio]

I can't conceive of a better president and feel so fortunate to whiteness his greatness in my lifetime. I feel as if I'm seeing the beginning of the Camelot age JFK created and to see such a thing happening... That seems so brilliantly surreal that I find I'm regularly pinching myself, expecting to wake up.

[hunt1964]

...and they should be...

[cuteambros15]

Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dotcale]

UEA deserves a real president, a real leader.

[DietrichBonhoeffer]

Republicans are scared of this man, very afraid.

[chukmaty]

As a Republican myself, I can certainly acknowledge this man will be a force to be reckoned with. His policies would be scary, because he is a true believer.

Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Piyush Jindal, Michael Steele, and Tim Pawlenty I think are all potential equals on the right side. Any single one could be the next Ronald Reagan. Could be a very interesting decade in politics because the old guards clearly failed us this past decade and their will be a catharsis in the future.

[riethc]

What's so scary about a guy who talks about keeping us out of war, education, creating a better infrastructure, etc.?

If he becomes president his policies may cost us in the short term but in the long term it will help us.

I'm a conservative when it comes to most issues especially fiscal but when the money is well spent I'm not against it.

[cyvais]

Why are his answers so drawn out and distracting, over thinking, deliberately slow... like he's attempting to tap a short term memory complex. By the time he answers and finishes his "answer" everyone in the crowd will have forgotten the question.

[trichards3000]

Because the interview questions themselves sucked. Google should be happy that Obama saved the interview from being a total bore and instead transformed it into an informative event.

[markymark1791]

Absolutely agree. Republicans are praying that Hillary will win the nomination because they have a lot of ammo with her name on it. Obama has been against the war from the beginning and rates much higher on likeability than Hillary. Barack can grab more Republican and independent votes, he doesn't have a history of flip-flopping, he appeals to younger voters, and he's exciting and inspirational. REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED SHITLESS OF OBAMA!

[markymark1791]

Totally agree. Repubs know they can't beat Obama. They want Hillary to be the nominee because she's an easier target- by far. OBAMA WILL WIN!!

[MaverickCentricity]

Is Obama with the CFR? The man wants to give illegals driving licenses, of course he is CFR.

[struwwwell]

He is FRC (Foreign Relations Committee) from US senate.

He is willing to let states hand out drivers licenses do undocumented workers if comprehensive immigration reform fails.

Illeagal aliens do not come into the US to drive cars, they come to work here. Employers attracting and employing illeagals should be punished!

Helping Mexico to have more domestic jobs is cheaper than building a fence at the Mexican border.

[nalcow]

hummm I am mexican and I think the problem of mexico is mexico itself, its goverment and politician who unfortunately dont understand what a bit and a byte are at all ;) cheers.

[supernewuser]

Barack just won my vote. "I think bubblesort is the WRONG way to go" needs printed on a t-shirt. Very clever move brushing up before going to google.

[paigia]

Barack will be the first president who understands computer science.

[Psulionae]

heck yeah..how cool is that!!! :o)

[mogzy]

Barack, you rock.

[vecter]

NOT bubblesort is correct =D

[nateinark]

The war fever he speaks about in this interview reminds me of one of the main ways the "Party" controls the minds of the people in George Orwell's 1984. Scary, true stuff.

[Ebbole]

I conclude that either Obama is going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party and the next President of the United States OR the democrats and general US population are largely ignorant - meaning uninformed and lack knowledge of Obama and his world view.

[gscadwalader]

Perfect. As always.

[beingjohngalt1]

Isn't Obama a CFR member?

[BlackDudeNiceFeet]

silly

[beingjohngalt1]

Not silly.. totally relevant

[bluestems]

The Center for Forest Research?

The Canadian Finals Rodeo?

Do you mean the Council on Foreign Relations? ;-) ww w dot cfr dot org? If so, you need to clarify why that's bad.

[YTVoIP]

I hear Hilary is siding with Microsoft. Keep your head up Obama.

[gallomex13]

Obama/Richardson 2008

That is a real change!

[TDanza8]

Obama/Clark 2008

Brains and new Ideas with Rational and excellent military and peace making experience.

[Muddas05]

OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!! We NNNEEEEEDD THIS MAN America WAKE UUUPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlackDudeNiceFeet]

like the air we breathe

[btehrani2]

Help is needed !

Obama is certainly the best, but we are doing very poor supporting him on internet. Ron Paul, who is much less popular has dominated the majority of internet blogs, internet polls, news, etc.

HELP, HELP.

WE CAN BEAT RON PAUL SUPPORTERS AND MAKE OBAMA THE #1 ON THE INTERNET.

[i3allplaya]

WHO CARES!!!!! let's worry about Obama

[lazerflesh]

That's what he was saying. Dur.

He's saying we need to try harder. Which I agree. I bought some Obama shirts and stickers last night. :3

[btehrani2]

The question is what can we do on the internet to be better?

I think Obama deserves a lot more internet support that he is getting and it is our fault. He has don everything, now it is our time.

[lazerflesh]

I think I know of some places on the intarwebs. >=D

Some experience in photoshop would be nice. Be sure to make pics with lulz.

[OhJ33zItsShon]

Well then why don't you guys stop talking about it and actually take action and do something, that always works :) Like they say: Actions speak louder than words.

[quixoto]

I really think that the Ron Paul movement is a different sort of beast than the Obama movement. Anti-war liberals have their pick of candidates but where else do anti-war conservatives have to go but to align themselves with Rep. Paul? Thus, Paul attracts a wide variety of people on the right who for whatever reason (isolationism, idealism, libertarianism, what have you) oppose the war but refuse to support the Left, and would rather reform the Right.

[danthemango]

absolutely true, and I respect your point. though I believe Obama is just a softcore ron paul, the pointe destinction between them is that ron paul wants to conserve and isolate every aspect of the runnings of america, obama want's america to move into a smarter and less corupt direction, making his actions more thoughtful and more permanent than a "quick fix"

[quixoto]

In many ways Obama's movement is similar in that he intends to not only reform the Left but also win the election and come together with the Right. Barack needs to be portrayed the right way: as the candidate that appeals to the widest group of people and is the least likely to divide people politically. Don't just use an overly simplistic term like "electable," like the Hillary camp is doing.

[bluestems]

He nailed every answer with honesty, showcased his depth of knowledge and understanding on complex issues. He truly wants to enable us better educated and move forward to live better lives. This is one of the best interviews yet.

Obama 08!

[PeterNevins]

This session is so complete and concise, it could be divided up, as the separate answers, into an interactive "ask barack about the issues" widget, some sort of specific link that could be sent to people on the fence, those without patience to watch the whole thing... It sure would make my job easier, as I try to canvass...

[btehrani2]

I have not seen ever someone can answer questions such deeply and precisely. His answers, not only shows his positions, it shows his knowledge, judgment, precision, and honesty.

Question: Do you think America deserves Obama?

[paigia]

Of course America deserves Obama. But that is contingent on Americans making the first step to believe. Believe not just in him to bring about change but also believe in ourselves that we can make a little effort in inspiring many others who are misinformed and disillusioned, we can do something improving the lives of others people.

[aginamuk]

Obama my man! Fix up your tie next time. OK? U've got all my support.

[gabecollett]

What!

a man with an unstraight tie, is a man who is not afraid to let loose

[lazerflesh]

I love it when people try to throw him off guard and he makes it into a positive situation.

[lazerflesh]

That's all you've got on 22 minutes of video ? I dare you to compare.

[monitajb]

First! Fired up and ready to go!

[gabecollett]

YEAH!
