Obama: Phillies Are 'a Team That Never Gave Up'

[gkeeper555]

prolly never watched a day of baseball in his life...

[KIMxJUNGxIL]

Obama was for Tampa Bay even though the Rays knocked out his favorite, White Sox.

[usmcboyer]

I never thought I would 'like' a Obama video. GO PHILLIES

[goFlyers66]

GO PHILLIES!!!!!!! and yeah really show some respect

[jlq1]

This is your president of your fuckin country, You need some respect for people like Obama

[aaronXroX]

FUCK OBAMA HE WANTED TAMPA TO Win!!!!!!!

[Metalmalitia141]

[PhillySportsDude94]

I agree with standage50

[eagles81sucks]

y is evrybody got to talk crap about obama lets see u do his job...

[PhillySportsDude94]

Obama SUXSSSS Go Phillies!!!!

[standage50]

thats just what he wants you to think the way he gives speeches can easily be compared to Hitler. All americans are brained washed and obama is a black hitler

[eagles81sucks]

dont talk about our leader

[immanuelsIgloo]

well, i don't agree with what standage50 has said... but did you talk about bush while he was in office?

[erinm420]

YEA GO BLUE GAYS!!!

I dont think so dude.....

Phightin' Phils!!!!

[Astigrisu]

all politics do marketing towards themselves, one does the marketing towards what most people want, one do the unpleasent job, being number 2

[AngelQueen5020]

i dont care less about the phillies lmao! this year is about the Toronto Blue Jays :) lol. so ya, Go Jays Go! :D

[rickpasorti]

he's a superstar... how nice for him.

[Astigrisu]

I would like to break down this arrocance of America

[wethotgrass]

Really!!! I can't believe people take every opportunity to bash Obama... This is a video about the President of the USA honoring the World Series Champions. Give the guy a break, it is part of his press junket to come and honor sports champions. Give it a rest and go argue on a CNN blog.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

"World Series" ??

"World Champions"?

What sport? Which countries played?

(Love the American "rooting" thing, that cracks me up!)

[QB568]

Screw U

[rickpasorti]

Not all Americans are into this ridiculous display of grown men proudly playing as children that never grew up, chewing tobacco and spitting every 10 seconds.

But for those that enjoy such things, more power to them.

I'm not an Obama basher but I do wish he would spend less camera time jive talkin and trying to be cool and instead dig deeper for successful resolve.

The other day he was complimenting Calif Gov Schwarzenegger's leadership abilities! Is he only out of touch, or completely insane?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Yeah, most countries have avid sports fans, it is good they get out and enjoying.

My question about what sport was a genuine one, I really have no idea.

My comment about "rooting" is because, outside America, that means sexual intercourse.. so when Americans say they are "rooting" for someone...

Understand your Obama comments.. but you are still better off than under Bush!!

[captben31]

This was a tragic year for Law Enforcement. Oakland and Pittsburgh both lost 4 cops each in one day, something that has never happened before and since 9/11 where 60 Cops were lost in one day. Every President before Obama has gone to the ceremony EVERY year. Stop making excuses for this lame excuse for a President.

[captben31]

And this IS the best forum and this IS relevant to the video. As Obama was honoring a baseball team, Police Officers and their families from throughout the Country were honoring their dead, just blocks away from the WH. He could've gone but chose not to. It's speak volumes.

[captben31]

That's pretty scary that you we should feel blessed about having any policitian leading us, especially the pool of retards in the past 20 years or so. As far as putting coherent sentences together, that's with the help of the TOTUS - Teleprompter of the Unites States. You're the one that needs to get a life instead of blindly following your "blessed" leader. Just remember one thing...Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao were all well spoken. Glad to see you're falling into place without a wimper.

[captben31]

His only interest is taking care of the people that don't contribute anything to this economy, bailing out squatters in their foreclosed homes, making sure there is tax payer money sent overseas for abortion, changing the words "war on terror" so we don't offend anyone, apologizing to Europe for being what we are, and bowing to the Muslims as to say "please don't attack us again"....This guy is a joke and an empty suit.

[MrSailing45]

actually...not only does he look presidential but for the first time in a long time we are blessed to have a president who can string together 5 coherent sentences in a row.... you obviously have an axe to grind and perhaps this isn't the best forum..... so pls move on to another video and show the rest of the world that you have a life!!!!

[captben31]

I think it's safe to say there is a true connection and friendship between Obama and Cop-killer Bill Ayers which he cannot hide when he repeatedly shows disdain for those that made the ultimate sacrificie for the good of this Country. He could've easily pushed the baseball speech back 1 hour in order to make an appearance, but he chose not to.

His silence speaks volumes.

[xtlhogciao]

the fact that you have so much of an opinion over obama doing the traditional routine of congratulating the world series champions instead of speaking about a cop dying, which happens about every day, just shows why the republican party sucks right now.

you have to use this bullshit to show how bad of a president obama is?

i can't wait for the time someone in congress sneezes and obama forgets to say 'god bless you". i'm sure that incident will include impeachment talks

[captben31]

What does this have to do with Republican's?If you had any reading comprehension you would have understood that I didn't mention party politics and that he could've still honored the Phillies,but could've done so after the National Police Week Ceremony.This is just 1 in a countless number of snubs Obama has made since he became President.Most 2-term President's haven't made as many gaffes as this guy has in 5 months.He has complete disdain for our Police,Military,and hard working Americans.

[immanuelsIgloo]

:) In part, I must agree with this statement. But please don't narrow it down to Republicans and Democrats... this problem is destroying our country.

[xtlhogciao]

we'll even eachother out

[captben31]

Today, while Police Officers and their families were honoring their fallen borthers and sisters in Washington DC...President Obama thought that this was more important that saying a few words at the solemn and important ceremony that took place. How fitting that he decided to honor Philadephia for it's baseball, instead of their Police Force, which lost more officers this year than ever.

[Chick6517]

I really liked how clear the picture is on your video. Did you use a regular digital camera or did you use something more high tech? Lol, my videos never turn out that claer.

[Axxex]

The Channel belongs to the Associated Press, its an international news company so they have the professional resources for that. Dont feel bad if yours arent that professional ;)

[immanuelsIgloo]

Lol... don't trust the Press. They abuse their "professional resources."

[FrancescaGianna]

I don't care if its legal or not. Anyway they way our country is going everything we value as a free country will be illegal and I WILL proudly break those laws!

[FrancescaGianna]

No problemo!

Friend invite? Is that legal? I'll accept it anyway:)

[FrancescaGianna]

I'm an American and 100% Italian.

[FrancescaGianna]

Talking is illegal? Yada, yada, yada!

[FrancescaGianna]

Not really.  There are better things:)

[FrancescaGianna]

Sometimes it feels good at the moment.

[FrancescaGianna]

Come on.  Put your face against the monitor.

[FrancescaGianna]

Absolutely! I have another one:)

[FrancescaGianna]

Listen wise guy. Call me a name one more time and I'll give you a fresh one.

[FrancescaGianna]

Be nice JEREMIAHWAZABULLFORG. What kind of name is that anyway? LMAO

[FrancescaGianna]

These are your words: "WARMONGER! NO POLICE ACTIONS FOR AMERICAN SOLDIERS!"

[PoisonIvyLeague]

I actually watched the full video of this and all of Obama's correlations between himself and the Phillies were totally self-indulgent and unnecessary. Oh well, still a win; go Phils and pres.

[FrancescaGianna]

Your knees must hurt!

[FrancescaGianna]

"Warmonger???"

You want to convict American soldiers ??? LMAO!!!!

That's the most ridiculous comment I ever heard!

[PoisonIvyLeague]

I love president Obama and his speech writers, that was such a beautiful and elegant tribute to teamwork, sports, and the Philadelphia Phillies. Amazing.

[FrancescaGianna]

They all suck!

[PoisonIvyLeague]

How intelligent of you. I'm guessing you're saying that because Obama and the Phillies are winners and whoever you voted for/rooted for just didn't make the grade. 2008 WORLD CHAMPS Phillies and Obama, that's in the history books forever. Jealous Mets fans and Republicans can't compare, ha.

[dkkght46]

Obama is Throwing Himself Under the Bus when he said the Nation Can't Keep Spending Like He Did with his 10 trillion dollar plan. He has ripped everything he did in the last 100 days, the next 100 is going to be great. He knows he's got bunch of sycophants sayign how great he is and he is setting up the groundwork for the tax hikes.

[gerKremerC]

Very well put, Mr. President. GO PHILLIES!!! All you ESPN baseball "experts" who spend all their time sucking the AL's dicks and predicting the Rays to win got proven wrong ONCE AGAIN!!!

[Ken2234]

cool obama!! Thanks...LAME! Shouldn't he be saving us? I hate him

[SkyDaddy7]

Hate is a strong word...Why?

[gerKremerC]

Because he's bitter that Obama beat his geriatric Repugnican opponent in the election.

[DarthKazi]

That isn't necessarily true. I used to be a "liberal Democrat", but am no longer fooled by the "left/right paradigm". Obama uses demagogic, populist rhetoric, but has more Wall Street goons in his administration than did Bushy. Bush was so bad, people wanted ANYTHING but more of "the same". But look at how Obama has backtracked on wars abroad... regardless of foreign escalations, we can't afford to fight other people's wars. I thought that was the Dem rhetoric under Bush anyway.

[mtsteed]

Um, isn't this about congratulating the Phillies?  Who gives a rat's arse about Obama's demagoguery, rhetoric or whatever. It's about baseball, dude. Nonpartisan (unless you count the AL and NL as parties :-))

[DarthKazi]

I was responding to the assertions of another poster, not the merit of the video's content. I could give a rat's ass about baseball, and I sure as hell wish our public officials would stop wasting valuable time with it, particularly Congress. What fucking business does Congress have, dealing with baseball's steroid problems? It's bullshit and a waste of time. Banks are not too big to fail and neither is baseball. If baseball is corrupt, let it fail!

[SkyDaddy7]

That is simply not true! If you paid attention to what Obama said throughout his campaign then you would know better. We are leaving Iraq. Afghanistan is dif...Bush should have never left. Afghanistan is not someoneelses war! Where the hell do you get that from? Do you think leaving is really smart? If so, you do not understand or have not thought it out what the result would lead to.

[DarthKazi]

Oh, give me a break. All that torture, all the dead children and innocent people... and still no Bin Laden and even the SITTING President of Pakistan thinks he's been dead for 7 years. Wake up and stop believing the BushCorp lies about 9/11 and realize that the Taliban was cutting off most of the U.S. supplies of opium and heroin and one of the functions of 9/11 was to get that several billion dollar racket going again.

Get with the program.

[DarthKazi]

You also need to read Zbigniew Brzezinski, Obama's foreign policy adviser during his campaign's book, The Grand Chessboard and many of his assertions in his speeches. The events in the middle east have nothing to do with "al-Qaeda" and all that rot. "Al-Qaeda" is a front group, isolated at best and has no real capabilities. Those who DO have such capabilities are those who own the assets and debts to nations. The bankers and financiers who own media and the corporate state.

[SkyDaddy7]

Stop watching Alex Jones he is screwing with your mind!!!

[DarthKazi]

Stop watching The Mainstream Media, it is screwing with your mind!!!

[SkyDaddy7]

LOL!

Because Alex Jones is the one man true source of media, huh?

I guess you also believe there is a SkyDaddy in the clouds who watches everything you do and will spank you if you do not obey & worship him, huh?

There really is not difference between believing that and believing Alex Jones and his NWO delusion...They both require no proof and make one feel as if they hold knowledge most don't...Make you feel special, huh?

[DarthKazi]

Wow. TV has really rotted your brain.

[SkyDaddy7]

So, you are admitting you believe things without evidence...At least you are honest in a round about way.

No wonder you seem scared and worried...However, if things get too bad you can always fall back on the myth your SkyDaddy's Zombie Son will return some day to save you from the evil mean bankers!!!

Good Luck...You are really going to need it!

[DarthKazi]

If you believe the 9/11 Commission story... you believe something without evidence.

The evidence is studying the people who benefit from wars, terrorism and depressions. If you spend any time studying history, READING things, you'd stop your ad hominem attacks on people, and start attacking issues and lies portrayed by your trusted media.

You clearly have weird hangups with generalizing people and... whateverthehell "SkyDaddy" is.

Why do I bother arguing with YouTube mental midgets?

[SkyDaddy7]

LOL!

I believe and trust in evidence based on rational thought, reason and true science...Popular Mechanics destroyed your false idea of 9/11...If 9/11 was this grand orchastrated conspiracy then why were there no WMD's in Iraq? That would have been child's play to plant WMD's compared to some grand 9/11 plan?

You are looking for answers that your mind wants not answers based on reason and evidence...Good Luck!

[DarthKazi]

That's funny and ironic that you mention "Propaganda Mechanics". Famous "yellow journalist" Hearst, began the publication as a propaganda tool throughout Eisenhower's "Military Industrial Complex" beginnings, into Vietnam and on. What started as a legit science mag, became a military propaganda rag. Plus, the entire editorial staff was changed before the "9/11" article and book was written and headed by DHS head Chertoff's nephew.

Yeah... real "scientific".

[SkyDaddy7]

Like I said, Good Luck!

[DarthKazi]

Let me also add, that Alex Jones is no better or worse than the Corporate Media, who spins and colors facts to suit their agendas. But you have to ask yourself, who gains the most from telling a certain story? The Corporate Media gets billions in revenue. Alex Jones might sell a few DVD's subscriptions to his network. Who benefits the greatest from their dissemination of information?

Jones is no more or less a nut than Rupert Murdoch or the slew of CFR cronies who run the media machine.
