Awesome video! I remember driving through Kenmore Sq that night and seeing all the kids dancing and cheering in the street. There was an amazing energy that night--like we had really accomplished something, made a difference, and were in it together. I'll never forget it!
What a moving video. It helps to come back here and see this especially with the first important step in Health Care has been achieved by this president. He is going down in history I tell you.
Great video. I come on youtube every day just to seek out a few more of these 'reaction' videos and I am never disappointed - they're all so positive.
You are going to base an argument on a statement taken out of context. In that conversation with Joe the plumber it became blatantly obvious that he would get a tax break under Obama. But no one in the Republican party ever acknowledged this. In addition, returning the tax rate to where it was before Bush (3% difference) does not somehow make this country communist ! You are a douche!
Jhonny3566 progressive income tax is not a penalty. And free market capitalism without regulation does not work. That is why we are in the dire straits we are in now. The government esentially nationalized the banking and investment banking communities and you are concerned about Obama "spreading the wealth"? Returning the tax rates to what they were before BUSH is NOT communism. Obama 08! He's your president too. In fact I'm betting you get a tax break under him.
Jhonny, I wrote a few days ago and am following up with what i originally posted. Chiodoce, even though I know you are probably right that Jhonny won't respect my reasons, I'm just sick of seeing him say over and over how no one is giving him concrete info. So, here goes, Jhonny:
hey, if you wanna do it, go for it. but notice how he hasn't addressed what Dixie wrote..... like AT ALL? Dixie wrote a long, decent response and i don't think he said addressed it. that tells me he is just here to stir up trouble and rain on peoples' joy and excitement. he's not interested, he's just being annoying.
piss off. you want his policies, go to his official site, factcheck, and politifact. nothing by Fox or Limbaugh, please. and while you're at it, visit snopes for freak's sake to address any of your b.s. rumors. i am not doing your research for you. i've been campaigning for Obama all year and i refuse to do it AFTER he has won and when there is no need to do so.
ok, i dont need to see his policies, I know them. this so blatently tells me that you dont know what your talking bout. if you did, you'd just go ahead and tell me what you like bout him
dont tell me not to go to fox (a conservative network) and then tell me to go to the oh so liberal snopes
you never asked me what i simply "liked about him". you asked me specifically what his policies were a few posts down. changing your tune, eh? this blatantly tells me that you are an erratic schizo.
thats extremely untrue. just because i support the war, doesnt mean i wanna be in it. there are people that do wanna be in it, and god bless them, because without them, we'd all be drafted
uh, that's basically what i just said: people who bang the drums of war do so from the sidelines while other people are going overseas to risk their lives. such people would never enlist themselves. why don't you want to be in it? it's a cause you believe in, isn't it? why not go and fight for it?
i told you guys, no matter what you tell him about WHY you voted for Obama over McCain, it won't be accepted. he'll just ignore it like he's doing now.
Can't you guys just focus on the video you are leaving comments for? Streets full of joyful, happy people - it's not often that you see scenes like this ...
(So youtube wouldn't let me write anything after those four long posts)
...or are you going to scrupulously try to tear apart everything I said and claim that MY FUCKING reasons for choosing to vote for a man aren't good enough for you? Do us all a favor man, and just take your arguments somewhere else - it is obviously not that we don't have the ammunition again you, its just that this is something we consider to be so beautiful that we don't want to waste the energy on something so negative.
Bill O'Reilly, in which despite O'Reilly's attempts to completely tear him apart, Obama keeps his cool and was able to answer every question intelligently and without losing his cool once.
I like John McCain, always have, and respect the man, I just disagree with him on some fundamental ideological beliefs which I completely am with Obama on for the most part.
I could go on and on but I think I've taken up enough space here. Is all of this reason ENOUGH for you, or are going to scrupulously
of our neighbors that the American people truly don't have a clue what is good for them OR for the rest of the world.
I was also astonished over the past couple months by the character of Barack Obama as far as the way he handles himself, his candor, and his ability to engage in constructive, genuine bipartisan discourse, something we have not had for the past eight years. The video that really illustrated this to me was one you can find of him on you tube, sitting down for an interview with
thats the scary thing. obama is an amazing talker. but how much of it will be actually do? where is all this money for funding coming from? the NEW and ADDED 40 billion dollars he atleast planned on spending?
which Obama also happens to be. I have also traveled all over the world and this summer was in Asia, specifically Cambodia and Singapore. I have been blown away by the sentiment from people all over the world that I have met, which was consistently of the opinion that we have destroyed our formerly golden reputation amongst nations which used to adore us, and to vote in a president who shared so many of the ideals and decisions as Bush would be considered as the final straw in the eyes of many
Alright you little fucking piece of shit. I have a brother in Iraq and was raised by a single mother who had to raise three children by herself with no father to contribute or even pay child support. I have been homeless due to a fire which destroyed my home and there have been other things which have been extremely strenuous for my family. Obama's tax plan provides relief for families like mine and additionally plans for a safe withdraw of troops in Iraq like my brother.
ok, so tell me this. what is this country founded on? i may be mistaken, but i believe its freedom. the point is, why should people who make more have to pay more? why not a flat rate? why penalize people with more success. and i'm sorry bout your situation, but thats how it should be.
and you think obamas plan for iraq is good? man, war is situational. you cant just set a date. i want the troops home as much as everyone, but we cannot leave prematurely
why "penalize" people who work 2 jobs, are TRYING to make ends meet, but still can not do it? why shouldn't people pay taxes in proportion to what they make? if you are filthy rich like the billionaires and CEOs, u can afford to pay more taxes and still live just as comfortably as before. giving a tax cut to the middle class- who are the backbone of this country- is not a bad thing. as a result, they will have more money to buy more things, which could help the economy.
how is it penalizing! its called being fair! why wouldnt we just have a flat tax?! america is about freedom, not a controlled market. people who are rich are rich for a reason. they obviously tried harder and pulled more strings than others. america isnt about being fair, its about free market and keeping the money you make. obama said the words "share the wealth" which is so communist.
and if you tax ceo's, they fire people because they cant pay salaries, and then people are jobless
are you rich? if you're not rich, by your logic that means you are a lazy, stupid S.O.B. if you are not wiping your crack with Benjamins that means you're not a hard worker. am i reading you correctly?
i put "penalizing" in quotations to mimick your own previous usage of the word. you're right. the rich paying higher taxes because they can afford to do so is not penalizing them. it is being fair to everyone, that includes the average, hardworking, middle class people.
actually being fair would be a flat tax. simply just because you make more money does not mean you should have to pay a higher percent. they already pay more because they make more. sharing the wealth is a communitstic idea.
too bad that's what taxing is, in and of itself. we all pay taxes to support government programs and decisions (some of which we may not like or agree with but). but if we don't pay our taxes, we get in trouble. that's society, bud. deal with it.
you know who Adam Smith is? he is considered the "Father of Capitalism". in his book "The Wealth of a Nation", Smith wrote: "It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion." the rich, under the Bush tax cuts, probably aren't paying nearly as much as they should be paying. again i ask you: are you rich?
well i'll start off with this. "Obama spoke more forcefully against his former pastor, saying that he was "outraged" and "saddened" by his behavior" obama suddenedly went against the pastor. hmmm, thats funny. he resigned from that chruch right after that speech was released.
how does the american government mistreat blacks? tell me? what part of his speech is true and why?
Jhonny, I'm a bit perplexed by YouTube's text limitations. Unfortunately most of my points did not post, but I don't have the time to re-write it all since I've got a 9-month old trying to climb on my lap... sorry. Hope what's been posted has helped to illuminate at least one person's decision to choose Barack Obama as our next president.
i assure you, no matter what you posted, regardless of logic and good reason, it would be discarded anyway. don't waste your time. Obama's our president. celebrate and be happy. ignore the haters.
Thank you, chiodoce. You are right. This video brings me to tears...Over here in Oakland, Ca, we are still celebrating, feeling so proud of our country. Finally we have a president in office WE want to share a drink with for once!! Someone who finally reflects more of who we are, what we value, and where we come from. Finally!
Yikes, my 9 month old just woke up from his nap, so, gotta go. this by no means is an exhaustive list, but just some of the reasons my husband and I fully support President-elect Obama. Having a child forced us to get informed about ALL the issues. I'm so very proud our country made a choice that I can feel good about; a choice that finally reflects my views and hopes for this country.
on the other hand, terrific video! it is so great to see people of all racial backgrounds dancing and celebrating together. this really has become the *United* States.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA I KNEW he would say something like that. Again jhonny, my name is Matthew Pinto, find me on facebook, I would genuinely love to get a cup of coffee with you if you would like to really discuss this, but I wont do it here.
i live in new york. and i dont wanna meet you. i'm quite sure you just dont know what you're talking about. if so, tell me what obama will do to "make change"
Guys this is such a powerful amazing piece, just don't respond to this guy here if you'd like to respond to him, no point in engaging in negative energy here while there is something so beautiful above, just message him.
hahaha i'm gonna have to assume that your lack of response if because you truly dont have an answer. the fact is, non of you like obama for real reasons. you jst jumped on the obama train because it was "cool". good luck to you ignorant people. you're all gonna end up following obama off of cliffs
I'm sorry but you just sound so ignorant. It's amazing how some people like you will try so hard to bring people down after a magnificent victory like this. This is a huge step for America, and if John McCain would have been elected, we would have been living the same way we have been for the past eight year. I would have no hope left for America. I would never vote for someone who voted with Bush 90% of the time because look where he's gotten us. Stop being ignorant. Please, for everyone's sake
no, it's just that no one feels you are important enough to give an "explanation" to when our guy has won and yours lost. if you can't figure out after 8 horrendous years why people voted for him you're stupider than you sound. Obama will be the POTUS. Either get over it or go crawl back into your dark, dank hole with the rest of your ilk.
yet another excuse. trying to skirt around the topic again. wow, i really figured atleast one person would have the brains to be able to explain this to me
Jhonny, Before I begin, in short I voted for Obama because his world view, his proposed policies, and his stellar integrity are what I have always looked for in a leader. Here are the specific reasons why I voted for him (mind you, not an exhaustive list, but the highlights): I'll be making several posts because of YouTube's character limit.
ok, well those are extremely generic reasons and are ofcourse things everyone wants in a leader. what makes him so honet though? whats his world view? how is he a good leadrer?
1) Health Care: He will work to implement much needed changes to our crumbling health care system by creating a plan that provides affordable, accessible health care to ALL of us; a plan that builds on our already existing system, uses existing providers and lowers health care costs (by $2,500 for a typical family). His focus on preventive care is phenomenal and where we should have been investing more resources all along.
ok, so lets say my dad owns a business that makes over 250000 dollars, if he doesnt use obamas health care, he is FINED. is that freedom? no, its communism. government is being to intrusive these days. and obama will only make it worse. and he also plans to follow through with these policies with what money? how does he plan on lowering the national debt aswell as spend all this money
you aren't worth "debating" with. the campaigning is over and there is no need for any of us to persuade you to do anything. no matter what anyone tells you, you won't take anything they say seriously. the term "Communism" has already been used by you. it's only a matter of time before "Muslim" comes along, too.
ok, you clearly have no clue what you're talking about, and thats why you're all avoided me. i'm simply pointing out to you that you have nothing to back up your decision of voting for obama. dont say i'm not wirth debating with just because you dont have answers. and muslim isnt an issue. its his ties with american terrorists thats the issue
ahhh... and there it is: "ties to american terrorists". i knew it was a matter of time before you brought up Ayers. so typical. the "connection" with these two have long been shot down and ruled insignificant. just keep swallowing the bull that the GOP fed you for the past month. eat it up. nomnomnom....
by who? obama. obviously obama and his followers are gonna fucking try and down play it. but based on regular news, not fox or any conservative news, its very clear that ayers endorsed obama in chicago and they were neighbors and they also served together on a comitee that gave money to ACORN, another group. so why dont YOU stop eating up what your bias naive group is feeding you.
Meet the Press, or one of these news programs, had a man on talking about how McCain does NOT want to use the guilt by association charge because of the shady people he has dealt with in the past. Ayers and Obama happened to have served on the same educational board. He had nothing to do with Obama's campaign and contributed nothing to him. NEXT!
ok, well clearly i dont care what mccain says, beause obviously he wasnt gonna commit campaign suicide and make a direct accusation like that. also, obviously obama is gonna try and down pla his ties with him, but its fact tha ayers and he were friends and that ayers endorsed him in chicago. obama clearly just refused an endorsment for president because that'd also be suicide. obama had made past statements saying that ayers had taught him a lot.
Obama and Ayers were not friends. get your head out of your crack for once. McCain has ties to radical, right wingers and racists. i guess McCain must be a radical, right wing racist, too.
Smit'sh notes, described Obama and Ayers as friends, as well as two men who occupy overlapping Chicago political circles, and served together on the board of a Chicago foundation. ayers quote I dont regret setting bombs, Bill Ayers said. I feel we didnt do enough.
o does mccain really have ties? tell to who then. show me who
McCain has "radical" ties, too. that's why he didn't overplay the Ayers card too much during the campaign because he KNOWS what kind of people he is linked to. if Obama can be harassed because he met Ayers once, and worked with him once, then McCain can also be looped in with the crazies he's pals with. there was even a rumor that McCain met- without preconditions- with Augusto Pinochet back in 1985. don't know if that is true or not. but it doesn't really matter.
ok, first of all, give me example besides a RUMORED example! (and even so, at least he was the president of a country! ayers is an AMERICAN BORN terrorist.) do you have any? ok, obama did meet him once! he did not work with him once. they used to meet in ayers living room! they were neighbors! ayers endorsed him in chicago! fucking read up.
dumbass (granted that the rumor was true), Pinochet was not the "president" of a country. he was a brutal dictator and one of the most notorious human rights violators. probably worse than Saddam Hussein. why don't you frickin read something other than a loony rightwing blog every once in a while?
ok, well he actually was clearly the president of chile. so you're the dumbass. secondly, nice job avoiding my message and answering what you wanted to
visit snopes on the internet and type in bill ayers and barack obama and enjoy the answer to your over-played question. i'd give you the entire link but youtube won't let me. the ayers "issue" is, in fact, a non-issue. which is why a majority of people were able to brush it off and vote for *gasp* Obama. it's only brought up by people who know little else except rumors passed on by Fox News and email forwards from their dumb buddies.
and the fact that i am arguing with someone who probably didn't even know who Pinochet was before i explained who he was reflects poorly on me. especially once i realize that anti-Obama people are incapable of reason, logic, and would rather spend their time TRYING to ruin peoples' moods on the forum of a pro-Obama video. HOW did i get suckered into this endless void of stupidity? this can go on for 2 more days and you'll still be as stupid and clueless as you were when you first posted here.
i've noticed anti-Obama people barely even like their OWN candidate (McCain, 90% of the time). they're more anti-Obama than pro-McCain. all they can talk about is Obama and how terrible they think he is going to be and his pastor, religion, and acquaintances. it's sad, really.
ok, well thats ignorant saying that anyone anti-obama must be pro-mccain. thats a retarded thing to say. and why wouldnt people who dont like obama talk about how he could make choices and has ties with crazy people? are you fucking retarded? i clearly pointed all these things out in the form of cold hard truths and you refuse to believe them because obama has practically brainwashed you into voting for him even tough you dont know why you did
lmao. you have the absolute worst arguments and conclusions i've ever seen. it's like talking to a damn 10 year old. i didn't say that *anyone* who was anti-Obama was pro-McCain. i said most McCain supporters are more anti-Obama than they are pro-McCain. most of his supporters hardly even LIKE him. read thoroughly before you reply, 'tard. nothing you have said is cold-hard truth. just cold-hard rumors. and those rumors are not truth. just your desperation.
ok, well you're the one who said he wasn't even a president, so that tells me something. maybe you're the one with no logic, because you havent answered any of my questions as to what good obama will do in office, and you tell me that all the stuff i say bout ayers is false even though its fact
i said he wasn't a president because....he...was...a...dictator. you are a moron, evidently incapable of constructing logical arguments about *anything*. it's pathetic. and stop saying "ok" at the beginning of every reply to me. it makes you sound like even more of a idjit, like ur running out of crap to say or something. Dixie condescended to answer your question about Obama. i will not, as something is obviously mentally wrong with you.
well you clearly have turned this into a bashing session because you still can't say anything good about obama. and tell me what i said that is a rumor. tell me that please.
it wouldn't be a "bashing" session if you hadn't said: "i bet only a handful of them know Obama's policies". as if young Obama supporters don't know what they're backing, or why they're backing him. i am sick of that idiotic assumption from the right, and i have answered this question numerous times from people who barely know their own candidates' positions. all they can do is spread lies and rumors about Obama. i won't entertain that trash anymore. go take your anti-Obama banter somewhere else
and let the rest of us be happy because after the last 8 years, we finally have an intelligent, competent, already-internationally-respected man on his way to the White House.
and how bout his nut job pastor who he followed for 2 decades? the same pastor who on tape says "not god bless america, god damn america"
ya thats the type of person we want our president to assosiate with. how bout his wife, who said last year "this is honestly the first time i can say i'm proud to be an american".
How about McCain's nutjob pastor, Rod Parsley, who thinks that America was founded with the intent to destroy Islam. And how about Palin's witchdoctor praying over her? How cute. Go look it up here on Youtube if your head isn't too far up your crack. By the way, a majority of what Wright said was true.
ok, first off, Hagee and Parsley are just supporters of McCain Obama's relationship is personal, with Wright having officiated at the candidate's wedding and baptized his two children. so i would clearly rather have someone who isnt against america. atleast palin of mccain's supporters like america. and tell me how what wright says is true! please do explain
McCain has been kissing up to the far right since he realized he would need their support. Parsley came on-stage at a McCain rally and McCain talked him up like he was the Rev. Billy Graham. Look for "McCain's Spiritual Guide" on Youtube. McCain has also never rejected Hagee's endorsement, but yet Obama was leapt on when Farrakhan endorsed him. Double standards are great, aren't they? Can't have "radical" blacks in this country. Nopenopenope.
and why don't YOU explain to US how what Wright said *isn't* true? you've been asking questions like you're Matlock. now it's time for you to answer some. i want you to look up "Was Rev. Wright telling the truth?" and then come back here and give me an honest answer.
before you answer the question, it should be noted that Wright served our country during Vietnam as a Marine. if anyone has earned the right to criticize America, it is he.
theres no way to explain how its not true! its simply false. the thing you have to prove is why it is true?! i said he's false! its impossible to have an answer to a false statement! just because you dont have an asnwer, dont try and point fingers at me! why dont you tell me how he's right? you can't though, because you're a fucking idiot
crycrycry. that's all your kind can do. the clip i told you to look up shows a segment of his sermon in its context. it is evident that either A) you have avoided looking at it because you LIKE having your head in the sand & believing Fox News snippets, or B) you know he's telling the truth and it just destroyed your "arguments".
ok, context doesnt subtract the fact that what he says is untrue and radical. explain it to me then! how is he telling the truth! give me examples! you're the one who needs to make the arguement!
things that Wright said that you refuse to acknowledge are true about the "Golden Boy" known as the United States: we bombed hiroshima and nagasaki and killed far more people than on 9/11. we took this country from the natives, forcing them to move as we pilfered their land and resources. we committed genocide against them. we kept blacks enslaved for centuries and treated them like animals up through the late '60s. these are all false? now explain to me how they are false. i wait eagerly.
ok, thats absurd to compare japan to 911, because i'm not sure if you were aware, but we were actually at war with japan. 911 was unprovoked and unexpected. we attempted to reason with japan too. they knew were had nukes, and they have proof that japanese soldiers said they werent going to stop fighting untill they were dead. and thats what happened. we ended the war.
so that gave us the right to blow up, not military personnel, but innocent civilians? were we at war with Japanese civilians? Japan had already surrendered when we dropped nukes on them. it's not absurd to compare the innocent civilian lives lost in 9/11 with those lost after our nuke strike on Japan.
ok, well since it seems like you dont have an answer to my question, i'll be the bigger man and tell you a little bit of why he's not. first off, he talks about all these "changes" he's gonna make. where is he getting this money? i guess he could get some of it by using the tax money he's raising on people and business making more than 250k a year. he wants to "share the wealth" which is a complete communist idea. thats only the start of his problems
awesome footage... truly a night to remember... it was the same in brooklyn...they wouldn't give us 40 acres and a mule, so we took the white house... that GOD for the opportunity to change the world now. My fear is starting to subside...
well done. I missed the parading on the streets because I couldn't unglue myself from the TV. this pretty much sums up the work that Obama supporters have done in the past 2 years.
The genious behind this video is my boy Arthur Johnson! Man this video is priceless. Thanks for putting this up. Now everyone can see that HATE IS PLAYED OUT! CHANGE IS COMING!! LUV YA MAN!!!! (no homo...LOL) -Chez
This video truly represents how alive this city became that night. All the different people of Boston came together for one reason, for one person. United.
This is amazing guys!! We can't let the one day be lost in the many tomorrows! This is our time to make a difference! Be inspired and let's do what we can to make a change in each other's lives!
I don't care that I'm not an American - living in Boston and being there I felt like a citizen of the world. We are all world citizens, all celebrating together - all of us. Obama is my president too.
Finally we have a president we can trust. It's absolutely beautiful to see democracy in action. And for the public to show this much joy, for electing our future leader, is even more beautiful.
This video is really good arthur! I almost cried...lol, its just so great to see so many people happy and celebrating such a historical moment. this is great.
This video is inspiring and your crazy creative for putting this together. You are blessed my Brother, this video touched me and it will touch many other lives. This video gives me hope that i can become anything even if i am an immigrant...i can be anything i want to be!
That is the best video i've seen about what happened here in boston. Oh my god, i'm so happy for you guys that obama is the new president, so many things will change.
Wow, Arthur this video is so inspiring, well put together. I can actually be happy to be an american living in the US. I Love J. Legends song, fits perfectly. Its Amazing to see so many people get so involved and the joy.
WOW! Mahalo nui loa (heartfelt thanks) for this vid! There has not been such excitement over a new president since Kennedy was elected ... and I am old enough to remember that too!
We in Hawai`i are proud of Barack Obama whose roots are here in the islands and he carries with him the true Spirit of Aloha.
PS I thought only our state was yelling, partying and celebrating ... WOW! Thanks again for showing us the Pride of Americans!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! give it up for berklee and boston!! We did it the right way!! peaceful gatherin respecting every single person and enjoying the celebration! Let's make the change last longer than one unbelievable night!
I remember that day still.
here's a funny thing, while I was going to the election party in my town the street light was stuck on Red...

"sharing the wealth is a communitstic idea."
You are going to base an argument on a statement taken out of context. In that conversation with Joe the plumber it became blatantly obvious that he would get a tax break under Obama. But no one in the Republican party ever acknowledged this. In addition, returning the tax rate to where it was before Bush (3% difference) does not somehow make this country communist ! You are a douche!

Jhonny3566 progressive income tax is not a penalty. And free market capitalism without regulation does not work. That is why we are in the dire straits we are in now. The government esentially nationalized the banking and investment banking communities and you are concerned about Obama "spreading the wealth"? Returning the tax rates to what they were before BUSH is NOT communism. Obama 08! He's your president too. In fact I'm betting you get a tax break under him.

ok, i dont need to see his policies, I know them. this so blatently tells me that you dont know what your talking bout. if you did, you'd just go ahead and tell me what you like bout him
dont tell me not to go to fox (a conservative network) and then tell me to go to the oh so liberal snopes

uh, that's basically what i just said: people who bang the drums of war do so from the sidelines while other people are going overseas to risk their lives. such people would never enlist themselves. why don't you want to be in it? it's a cause you believe in, isn't it? why not go and fight for it?

Bill O'Reilly, in which despite O'Reilly's attempts to completely tear him apart, Obama keeps his cool and was able to answer every question intelligently and without losing his cool once.
I like John McCain, always have, and respect the man, I just disagree with him on some fundamental ideological beliefs which I completely am with Obama on for the most part.

of our neighbors that the American people truly don't have a clue what is good for them OR for the rest of the world.
I was also astonished over the past couple months by the character of Barack Obama as far as the way he handles himself, his candor, and his ability to engage in constructive, genuine bipartisan discourse, something we have not had for the past eight years. The video that really illustrated this to me was one you can find of him on you tube, sitting down for an interview with

thats the scary thing. obama is an amazing talker. but how much of it will be actually do? where is all this money for funding coming from? the NEW and ADDED 40 billion dollars he atleast planned on spending?
people are voting for image, not the realistic.
jhonny3566 3 years ago
which Obama also happens to be. I have also traveled all over the world and this summer was in Asia, specifically Cambodia and Singapore. I have been blown away by the sentiment from people all over the world that I have met, which was consistently of the opinion that we have destroyed our formerly golden reputation amongst nations which used to adore us, and to vote in a president who shared so many of the ideals and decisions as Bush would be considered as the final straw in the eyes of many

Alright you little fucking piece of shit. I have a brother in Iraq and was raised by a single mother who had to raise three children by herself with no father to contribute or even pay child support. I have been homeless due to a fire which destroyed my home and there have been other things which have been extremely strenuous for my family. Obama's tax plan provides relief for families like mine and additionally plans for a safe withdraw of troops in Iraq like my brother.

ok, so tell me this. what is this country founded on? i may be mistaken, but i believe its freedom. the point is, why should people who make more have to pay more? why not a flat rate? why penalize people with more success. and i'm sorry bout your situation, but thats how it should be.
and you think obamas plan for iraq is good? man, war is situational. you cant just set a date. i want the troops home as much as everyone, but we cannot leave prematurely

why "penalize" people who work 2 jobs, are TRYING to make ends meet, but still can not do it? why shouldn't people pay taxes in proportion to what they make? if you are filthy rich like the billionaires and CEOs, u can afford to pay more taxes and still live just as comfortably as before. giving a tax cut to the middle class- who are the backbone of this country- is not a bad thing. as a result, they will have more money to buy more things, which could help the economy.
chiodoce 3 years ago
how is it penalizing! its called being fair! why wouldnt we just have a flat tax?! america is about freedom, not a controlled market. people who are rich are rich for a reason. they obviously tried harder and pulled more strings than others. america isnt about being fair, its about free market and keeping the money you make. obama said the words "share the wealth" which is so communist.
and if you tax ceo's, they fire people because they cant pay salaries, and then people are jobless
jhonny3566 3 years ago
are you rich? if you're not rich, by your logic that means you are a lazy, stupid S.O.B. if you are not wiping your crack with Benjamins that means you're not a hard worker. am i reading you correctly?
chiodoce 3 years ago
i put "penalizing" in quotations to mimick your own previous usage of the word. you're right. the rich paying higher taxes because they can afford to do so is not penalizing them. it is being fair to everyone, that includes the average, hardworking, middle class people.
chiodoce 3 years ago
actually being fair would be a flat tax. simply just because you make more money does not mean you should have to pay a higher percent. they already pay more because they make more. sharing the wealth is a communitstic idea.
jhonny3566 3 years ago
too bad that's what taxing is, in and of itself. we all pay taxes to support government programs and decisions (some of which we may not like or agree with but). but if we don't pay our taxes, we get in trouble. that's society, bud. deal with it.
chiodoce 3 years ago
you know who Adam Smith is? he is considered the "Father of Capitalism". in his book "The Wealth of a Nation", Smith wrote: "It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion." the rich, under the Bush tax cuts, probably aren't paying nearly as much as they should be paying. again i ask you: are you rich?
chiodoce 3 years ago
well i'll start off with this. "Obama spoke more forcefully against his former pastor, saying that he was "outraged" and "saddened" by his behavior" obama suddenedly went against the pastor. hmmm, thats funny. he resigned from that chruch right after that speech was released.
how does the american government mistreat blacks? tell me? what part of his speech is true and why?

Jhonny, Before I begin, in short I voted for Obama because his world view, his proposed policies, and his stellar integrity are what I have always looked for in a leader. Here are the specific reasons why I voted for him (mind you, not an exhaustive list, but the highlights): I'll be making several posts because of YouTube's character limit.
creativecows 3 years ago
ok, well those are extremely generic reasons and are ofcourse things everyone wants in a leader. what makes him so honet though? whats his world view? how is he a good leadrer?
jhonny3566 3 years ago
1) Health Care: He will work to implement much needed changes to our crumbling health care system by creating a plan that provides affordable, accessible health care to ALL of us; a plan that builds on our already existing system, uses existing providers and lowers health care costs (by $2,500 for a typical family). His focus on preventive care is phenomenal and where we should have been investing more resources all along.
creativecows 3 years ago
ok, so lets say my dad owns a business that makes over 250000 dollars, if he doesnt use obamas health care, he is FINED. is that freedom? no, its communism. government is being to intrusive these days. and obama will only make it worse. and he also plans to follow through with these policies with what money? how does he plan on lowering the national debt aswell as spend all this money
jhonny3566 3 years ago
you aren't worth "debating" with. the campaigning is over and there is no need for any of us to persuade you to do anything. no matter what anyone tells you, you won't take anything they say seriously. the term "Communism" has already been used by you. it's only a matter of time before "Muslim" comes along, too.
chiodoce 3 years ago
ok, you clearly have no clue what you're talking about, and thats why you're all avoided me. i'm simply pointing out to you that you have nothing to back up your decision of voting for obama. dont say i'm not wirth debating with just because you dont have answers. and muslim isnt an issue. its his ties with american terrorists thats the issue
jhonny3566 3 years ago
ahhh... and there it is: "ties to american terrorists". i knew it was a matter of time before you brought up Ayers. so typical. the "connection" with these two have long been shot down and ruled insignificant. just keep swallowing the bull that the GOP fed you for the past month. eat it up. nomnomnom....
chiodoce 3 years ago
by who? obama. obviously obama and his followers are gonna fucking try and down play it. but based on regular news, not fox or any conservative news, its very clear that ayers endorsed obama in chicago and they were neighbors and they also served together on a comitee that gave money to ACORN, another group. so why dont YOU stop eating up what your bias naive group is feeding you.
jhonny3566 3 years ago
Meet the Press, or one of these news programs, had a man on talking about how McCain does NOT want to use the guilt by association charge because of the shady people he has dealt with in the past. Ayers and Obama happened to have served on the same educational board. He had nothing to do with Obama's campaign and contributed nothing to him. NEXT!
chiodoce 3 years ago
ok, well clearly i dont care what mccain says, beause obviously he wasnt gonna commit campaign suicide and make a direct accusation like that. also, obviously obama is gonna try and down pla his ties with him, but its fact tha ayers and he were friends and that ayers endorsed him in chicago. obama clearly just refused an endorsment for president because that'd also be suicide. obama had made past statements saying that ayers had taught him a lot.
jhonny3566 3 years ago
Obama and Ayers were not friends. get your head out of your crack for once. McCain has ties to radical, right wingers and racists. i guess McCain must be a radical, right wing racist, too.
chiodoce 3 years ago
Smit'sh notes, described Obama and Ayers as friends, as well as two men who occupy overlapping Chicago political circles, and served together on the board of a Chicago foundation. ayers quote I dont regret setting bombs, Bill Ayers said. I feel we didnt do enough.
o does mccain really have ties? tell to who then. show me who
jhonny3566 3 years ago

chiodoce 3 years ago
ok what is this proving at all?
jhonny3566 3 years ago
McCain has "radical" ties, too. that's why he didn't overplay the Ayers card too much during the campaign because he KNOWS what kind of people he is linked to. if Obama can be harassed because he met Ayers once, and worked with him once, then McCain can also be looped in with the crazies he's pals with. there was even a rumor that McCain met- without preconditions- with Augusto Pinochet back in 1985. don't know if that is true or not. but it doesn't really matter.
chiodoce 3 years ago
ok, first of all, give me example besides a RUMORED example! (and even so, at least he was the president of a country! ayers is an AMERICAN BORN terrorist.) do you have any? ok, obama did meet him once! he did not work with him once. they used to meet in ayers living room! they were neighbors! ayers endorsed him in chicago! fucking read up.
and you never told me what that video was for
jhonny3566 3 years ago
dumbass (granted that the rumor was true), Pinochet was not the "president" of a country. he was a brutal dictator and one of the most notorious human rights violators. probably worse than Saddam Hussein. why don't you frickin read something other than a loony rightwing blog every once in a while?
chiodoce 3 years ago
ok, well he actually was clearly the president of chile. so you're the dumbass. secondly, nice job avoiding my message and answering what you wanted to
jhonny3566 3 years ago
visit snopes on the internet and type in bill ayers and barack obama and enjoy the answer to your over-played question. i'd give you the entire link but youtube won't let me. the ayers "issue" is, in fact, a non-issue. which is why a majority of people were able to brush it off and vote for *gasp* Obama. it's only brought up by people who know little else except rumors passed on by Fox News and email forwards from their dumb buddies.
chiodoce 3 years ago
and the fact that i am arguing with someone who probably didn't even know who Pinochet was before i explained who he was reflects poorly on me. especially once i realize that anti-Obama people are incapable of reason, logic, and would rather spend their time TRYING to ruin peoples' moods on the forum of a pro-Obama video. HOW did i get suckered into this endless void of stupidity? this can go on for 2 more days and you'll still be as stupid and clueless as you were when you first posted here.

chiodoce 3 years ago
ok, well thats ignorant saying that anyone anti-obama must be pro-mccain. thats a retarded thing to say. and why wouldnt people who dont like obama talk about how he could make choices and has ties with crazy people? are you fucking retarded? i clearly pointed all these things out in the form of cold hard truths and you refuse to believe them because obama has practically brainwashed you into voting for him even tough you dont know why you did
jhonny3566 3 years ago
lmao. you have the absolute worst arguments and conclusions i've ever seen. it's like talking to a damn 10 year old. i didn't say that *anyone* who was anti-Obama was pro-McCain. i said most McCain supporters are more anti-Obama than they are pro-McCain. most of his supporters hardly even LIKE him. read thoroughly before you reply, 'tard. nothing you have said is cold-hard truth. just cold-hard rumors. and those rumors are not truth. just your desperation.
chiodoce 3 years ago
ok, well you're the one who said he wasn't even a president, so that tells me something. maybe you're the one with no logic, because you havent answered any of my questions as to what good obama will do in office, and you tell me that all the stuff i say bout ayers is false even though its fact
jhonny3566 3 years ago
i said he wasn't a president because....he...was...a...dictator. you are a moron, evidently incapable of constructing logical arguments about *anything*. it's pathetic. and stop saying "ok" at the beginning of every reply to me. it makes you sound like even more of a idjit, like ur running out of crap to say or something.

it wouldn't be a "bashing" session if you hadn't said: "i bet only a handful of them know Obama's policies". as if young Obama supporters don't know what they're backing, or why they're backing him. i am sick of that idiotic assumption from the right, and i have answered this question numerous times from people who barely know their own candidates' positions. all they can do is spread lies and rumors about Obama. i won't entertain that trash anymore. go take your anti-Obama banter somewhere else

isnt that just great. quit being a fucking sucker
jhonny3566 3 years ago
How about McCain's nutjob pastor, Rod Parsley, who thinks that America was founded with the intent to destroy Islam. And how about Palin's witchdoctor praying over her? How cute. Go look it up here on Youtube if your head isn't too far up your crack. By the way, a majority of what Wright said was true.
chiodoce 3 years ago
ok, first off, Hagee and Parsley are just supporters of McCain Obama's relationship is personal, with Wright having officiated at the candidate's wedding and baptized his two children. so i would clearly rather have someone who isnt against america. atleast palin of mccain's supporters like america. and tell me how what wright says is true! please do explain
jhonny3566 3 years ago
McCain has been kissing up to the far right since he realized he would need their support. Parsley came on-stage at a McCain rally and McCain talked him up like he was the Rev. Billy Graham. Look for "McCain's Spiritual Guide" on Youtube. McCain has also never rejected Hagee's endorsement, but yet Obama was leapt on when Farrakhan endorsed him. Double standards are great, aren't they? Can't have "radical" blacks in this country. Nopenopenope.

jhonny3566 3 years ago
crycrycry. that's all your kind can do. the clip i told you to look up shows a segment of his sermon in its context. it is evident that either A) you have avoided looking at it because you LIKE having your head in the sand & believing Fox News snippets, or B) you know he's telling the truth and it just destroyed your "arguments".
chiodoce 3 years ago
ok, context doesnt subtract the fact that what he says is untrue and radical. explain it to me then! how is he telling the truth! give me examples! you're the one who needs to make the arguement!
jhonny3566 3 years ago
things that Wright said that you refuse to acknowledge are true about the "Golden Boy" known as the United States: we bombed hiroshima and nagasaki and killed far more people than on 9/11. we took this country from the natives, forcing them to move as we pilfered their land and resources. we committed genocide against them. we kept blacks enslaved for centuries and treated them like animals up through the late '60s. these are all false? now explain to me how they are false. i wait eagerly.
chiodoce 3 years ago
ok, thats absurd to compare japan to 911, because i'm not sure if you were aware, but we were actually at war with japan. 911 was unprovoked and unexpected. we attempted to reason with japan too. they knew were had nukes, and they have proof that japanese soldiers said they werent going to stop fighting untill they were dead. and thats what happened. we ended the war.
jhonny3566 3 years ago
so that gave us the right to blow up, not military personnel, but innocent civilians? were we at war with Japanese civilians? Japan had already surrendered when we dropped nukes on them. it's not absurd to compare the innocent civilian lives lost in 9/11 with those lost after our nuke strike on Japan.

I don't care that I'm not an American - living in Boston and being there I felt like a citizen of the world. We are all world citizens, all celebrating together - all of us. Obama is my president too.

Finally we have a president we can trust. It's absolutely beautiful to see democracy in action. And for the public to show this much joy, for electing our future leader, is even more beautiful.

Who cares, it doesn't matter if he's black or not. It shouldn't make a difference.

WOW! Mahalo nui loa (heartfelt thanks) for this vid! There has not been such excitement over a new president since Kennedy was elected ... and I am old enough to remember that too!
We in Hawai`i are proud of Barack Obama whose roots are here in the islands and he carries with him the true Spirit of Aloha.
PS I thought only our state was yelling, partying and celebrating ... WOW! Thanks again for showing us the Pride of Americans!
