  • I keep coming back to his 'back to school videos' to help me feel motivated when I study. I have to go off to revise now, hope everyone is doing well.

  • I cant stand hearing this liar talk...he has done nothing good for america except for screwing over our business and economy...thanks for the change obama! #nobama

  • turn on transcribe audio and go to 6:08

  • Best speech ever.

  • We as Americans need to unite and stop complaining so much. We must educate ourselves on the truth. There is so much false information out there about the president and the democratic party coming from the right. If they really cared about the American people they would act now! They wouldn't block job creating and health care legislation as they continue to do today.Let's stop fighting over petty things and begin fighting for what matters!There are too many people without that are working hard.

  • @scoobktj You are correct...If the government gave 30% of the money they gave to bank bail outs to the American people...no one would be jobless or homeless right now...it is all a game to keep the american people fighting and the rich still win...America is still a wealthy country....the government is in the business of dishing out citizens money...this is our money so why are people losing their homes ......while the big bankers keep getting richer....

  • Fuck obama !

  • Obama says wash your hands!

  • I feel the President is doing his very best at his job. However are we giving him ower best support . My prayers are with him and thoses in Washington.

  • Mr Obama you talk when ever you want to at any time you want to you are American and yes you can. But one thing good about Mr Obama to hear what the repubican and tea party has to say and why because it is not helping.

  • very inspirational speech

  • @0:01 Does Obama look a little shorter than usual?

  • @zaneapelu that's not OBAMA!! LOL

  • @Timcookie321 keep watching tard

  • I wish I can speak like that ... :-)

  • Obama is merely an actor and does not even write his own speeches.

  • I disagree with some of Obama's ideas, but I must agree that this is a great action for the president to do, no matter who he is. Students are the future, and being one of them myself, I know that we need inspiration from people like him. Good job, Mr. President.

  • NCLB FREE TUTORING UNDER INVESTIGATION BY OHIO STATE AUDITOR YOST- COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS - VIDEOS AT "JUSTICEFORKIDSNOW".

  • YES OBAMA.

  • This speech was really inspiring! i'm having a really hard time with school right now, but he got me motivated!

    i know this speech was for the american students, but it really inspired me too although i'm not living in USA

  • i love this.... thank you Obama! :))))

  • Great speech!

  • Obama SUCKS

  • @fuzzypaws17 go away hater

  • @amvgirl567 I have always be taught to hate the devil...sorry Obama is the biggest devil that ever lived in the USA !!! So.. Yes, I really do hate him...

  • @fuzzypaws17 don't forget George Bush

  • President Obama is GREAT !

  • "Supporting teachers and principles. Turning around schools that arn't working."  Lets start off by taking away collective bargaining rights, decrease funding for education, and increase military funding!

  • Isn't it funny (sad) how the people who were so opposed to the President addressing the school children of America were the same ones who got all bent out of shape when he didn't speak at a Boy Scout jamboree? Are ALL Republicans hypocrites?

  • @davidls11 You sound pretty ignorant saying that, you know with ALL Republicans being hypocrites.

  • @Grimrock94 I never said all Republicans were hypocrites. I just asked if they were. But while I'm here, how much do you want to bet that SOME Republicans will try to turn President Obama's finding and stopping Bin laden into something other than the great victory it is?

  • @davidls11 Are ALL Republicans hypocrites? =?? sorry i thought you were implying something -.-

  • @davidls11 you are a dick

  • @haileycara And you're too young (and black?) to be a Republican.

  • @davidls11 You're to ignorrant to understand what you're even talking about.

  • @haileycara too ignorant.

  • @davidls11 My point exactly. You are a dick.

  • Do your homework and work hard, so I can tax the eff out of your productivity, and force you to subsidize obese smokers through your insurance premiums and higher tuition to force you to pay for ineffective social services. Together "we"--by which I mean bums--can build a country "we" can all believe in! YES "WE" CAN!!!

  • where is the transcript?

  • @iwant58 you can google in the whitehouse.gov and google it

  • @ChinaQueer thank you very much.

  • the future of the country depends on you- don't let your country down.

    it's true haha

  • here's my message to america's students: pay for your own damn education

  • @longfootbuddy wish they had the money :P

  • lol @ 1;55

  • Hey Commie Progressives can you hear that whirrling sound? that is the sound of Dem union slush funds going down the toilet.. ENDGAME

  • I'm still trying to figure out why this speech was so "controversial". This reminds me of every motivational speech I've ever heard. I can't believe people were horrified that a president wanted to tell their children to do their homework.

  • ... in front of the TV or... with the XBOX. -- Epic WIN.

  • What is all the cheering about – do those kids actually think this fella gives a shit about them or their education? yeah put in that hard work while the government screws you over every day of your life while trampling all over the planet murdering on a scale even the most deluded psychopaths could not imagine. Patriotic propaganda.

  • Mr. B. Hussein O., where is your birth certificate?

  • @capotegabriel His full birth certificate has just been released...but I know for a fact that you won't be satisfied. Your kind never is.

  • What has this world come to!

  • I'm not certain but I don't think the word "Seckiterry" is in the english language.

  • my ass he was home school and come to is county he was not born here how wood he about education if he was home school or not if he was why wood he send some of that money that was send to aig to help them out was is 13 billon dollars he send to that a lot of money he got them the money last then 24 hour how he get that money so fast china have a hand in it that how now usa is turn into a 3 world county now i feel like they are keep sret of the people will need to wake up now befor 2 leat

  • Obama surrenders to Wall Street (video)

    /watch?v=641qNZPYNXQ

  • Obama is a puppet and a crook. He broke all of his important campaign promises and lied to us all. He said signing statements are unconstitutional which is true and promised never to make them and then he did. He pushed a bailout using our tax money for the wealthiest people on earth. Obama promised to do away with the patriot act and instead expanded it. He promised to bring our troops home and instead expanded the war in the middle east. He promised not to fill his cabinet with lobbyist and h

  • Despite all disagrements, I got to admit, Barrack is a great speecher! He delivers great speeches! He manages not to read his note, his choice of words are wise, his gesture towards the audience are warm but dertemined! great exemple for those who want to enter politic

  • Please watch on my channel “Innocents Betrayed The History of Gun Control” and my heart goes out to families that are hurt by this tragedy. I would have helped protect you with my ar-15 against that bad guy if I was was there.

  • i wish this was on itunes>D:

  • in my idol gorge bushs words: "rarely is the qustion asked , is our childran learning?"

  • @hix4toothdecaynjesus Happy new year to you ;-)

  • So if someone learns a lot from the mistakes or errors, so when is he gonna end the war, if he already knows thats a mistake?

  • I applaud President Obama for crafting this message for students. As a career educator, I know that this is something that I will look to employ with my students periodically throughout each school year. His personal experiences undoubtedly resonated within the hearts and minds of the young people that will hear this speech. "Here in America, YOU WRITE YOUR OWN DESTINY! You write your own future." Thank you, President Obama. Thank you, Secretary Duncan.

  • This speech wasn't very good. Seems like he has a bit of a deficit view. What else can you expect from a politician though?

  • That's one great president. Too bad he's not doing anything.

  • @valorie16 Get with it...start reading the paper. Not doing anything? You think Oil companies would be being sued right now if Bush or McCain were in?

  • theres ur 463 republicans booing the video

  • @Crazyrock219 black people aren't educated.

  • @Omiff someones a little racist

  • @Omiff thats funny some of the smartest people are black the first brain surgion was black

  • This speech helped me and motivated me so much.

    Before I saw this video, I had a low GPA. Didn't care about school. Didn't do homework. Had F's.

    ....

    Until the teacher but on this video. It made me realize how important school is. Now I have straight A's.

  • A nation is brought down from the inside. Corrupting the youth is the easiest way to achieve this. Do not be fooled by this wolf in sheep's clothing.

  • Speeches aren't going to influence kids. Most kids don't even read books anymore due to facebook and video games. Sadly the education system need to show kids instant results because that is what the younger generation is used to. It takes good parents and a mature child to understand the importance of taking schooling seriously.

  • @Du30ke This speech is not going to influence kids? What are you talking about? Just look at the kids faces when he's saying his speech! Obviously this does influence them. Including me.

  • @sarahXskater They are looking at him because he the president. Not because of what he is saying. Kids hear that everyday its nothing new. As for it influencing you, I think you're saying that to back him up. He is saying nothing kids already haven't heard, so you much influenced pretty easily.

  • someone tell me what high school it is?

  • [9]11= 1WARNING & 1 CHANCE TO TAKE THE RIGHT [9] DIRECTION.

  • I can't believe that americans voted a president which is undermining their own countries most fundamental principles and paying the red carped to its direct ENEMY

    THIS.IS.SOMETHING...U.N.B.E.L.­I.E.V.A.B.L.E.!!!!

  • 462 people are either racist, against a better future, hate america, or missed the like button.

  • 462 people haven't got the responsibility of voting like.

  • "no one's born being good at things"

    hmm... :)

  • Its ridiculous seeing right-wing media call this indoctrination. It's a (politically) substance-free motivational speech. Fox News, and specifically Glenn Beck, are blatantly fear-mongering and creating false controversy to support their own political goals.

  • I don't see how anyone could turn this into a political issue (cough, Sir Glenn Beck the Mentally Unstable). I found this very inspiring. It was a genuine message of encouragement to our youth to take advantage of their educational opportunities, to believe in themselves, and to work hard. He was by no means trying to "indoctrinate" our youth. Even my mother (a home-school mom, a die-hard Sarah Palin fan and not necessarily a fan of Obama's politics) appreciated what he said with this speech.

  • Why is Obama always addressing AMERICA?

    America does not exist, LOL,

    I know, Some people actually think America is a country...but why is this continuously and stupidly promoted.. when there's something like 35 countries in the American continents, There is no such country as America, US yes, but it's just a collection, a union of states, sad really. it ain't a country, you have no country.

  • "Yes he can" turns in to "Yes we can", and not just USA but the whole globe!

  • I actually liked that speech...except for the sudden, rocket launch into his formative, Indonesia, no money years. He ended up going to Harvard, at least! :)

  • I can't believe how much Fox News actually bashed this. What did he say that was wrong? He didn't say one political remark. He said to stay in school. He said to get a good education, not just to get into a good college or get a good job, but because education is important itself. Glenn Beck said he was "indoctrinating children without our knowledge" lol. Seriously Glenn, did you even watch this or did you just say that to sell more books?

  • @vaibanez17 Well, he does talk about the government's involvement in schools. Maybe the idea of being entitled to government funded education is what Beck meant? I don't even know.

  • Google search ...Gulen Charter Schools. Then take action

  • As much as i disagree with Obama's ideas, i think it's good that he is going to schools and making speeches telling kids to start thinking about school more. A lot of kids don't have any direction in their life and need to here it from someone. For all of the people saying this is "stupid" that he is giving a lot of speeches to help kids is wrong. You may be doing fine in school and don't need to hear it again, however there are lots of kids that are failing every class and need some direction

  • @MsPopi12 yes but let us not forget that the school "system" is not perfect, well in my opinion it sucks thats why there is so many who have no direction, really what do they teach us at school?

    Many times i interrupted my education by going to school.

  • @MsPopi12

    Did it ever occur to you that maybe they just aren't school material. If a child isn't academically fit for school, why should we force them to go? People fall into this belief that every person can be college educated. We need some sort of plan for these people, because most might not even be business savvy enough to start one up. I think more emphasis needs to be put on trade schools, and to promote those fields more.

  • @Devildriver763 Just be thankful there is a job market for higher educated people. For example in Egypt, 95 percent of the people have at least one college degree, but they are being underemployed. People that should be engineers are working as merchants on the streets. I do believe every person can be college educated. It's a matter of how hard they work and the amount of effort they put in. Kid's laziness these days is unexceptional. Education is key in maintaining a successful country.

  • this is so stupid he did the same thing last year we dont need to hear it again

  • This is a new approach. Every president should do this. It's a speech for the youth of America. I think its a message of it is to prepare the youth of America to face to the problems going on today, and problems that will arise in the future.

  • @ReallySveet no they dont its stupid and he did the same thing last year im in highschool and i dont need to hear the same thing over again okay thank you

  • @ReallySveet I respectfully disagree. He has an agenda for charter schools and private schools. He sold out public schools when he chose Duncan to head the Department of Education. He was about to pick someone else, but this person was perseived to be too friendly to teacher unions. So he replaced this person with someone who has no experience in education.

  • @USASecretHistory

    Oh gosh. Everyone is always blaming the President for the problems in America. Obama isn't the king here people. He doesn't make ALL the decisions. People need to remeber CONGRESS! dang

  • @ReallySveet No I've defended him many times. But on this issue he's been deceived by somebody. These charter schools do not work. Only 15% of them are better than public schools. Why does he support something that has not worked. Why has he appointed Duncan, someone who has no experience in education?

  • Meanwhile the School System is Failing. Students are rioting and polluting. Teachers are angry about student behavior.

  • This is not liberal anything. This is what EVERY president should do every year. Just like our Congressmen and Senators should have to visit schools to see what is really going on. Washington insiders live in a dream world, and they need to see reality. Our kids need to see the democratic process and hear from their representatives. And we wonder why we have an apathetic constituency!?

  • Where are your college records you bum?

    They showed a tape of BO's at my son's school yesterday. When he walked up to the podium they booed so much that she had to yell to get them to stop. He said that she looked like she was going to cry. Good! Stinking liberals trying to brainwash our kids.

    He told me that they booed him last year too but this year it was just about everyone. I wish that someone had pulled out their phone and taped it. He is a lying poser.

  • @barrybfl When I was 7 years old, the "amazing" George H. W. Bush did exactly this! How in the hell is that different? I guess because he was a Republican, you Republicans weren't upset when he was talking to us. Guess what? I found that video and watched it and HW also didn't say anything political just like Obama didn't say anything political here. Shut up and stop making EVERYTHING about politics. Obama didn't, HW didn't so why are you? Both just discussed staying in school.

  • @vaibanez17 When Bush One did it the dumbocrats called for a congressional investigation.

    This phony needs to be impeached NOW!

  • Would you like me to keep going or do you get the picture? Trust me there's more

  • President Clinton was one of the best Presidents we've had. Under his leadership almost 6 million jobs were created in the first two years. Clinton cut taxes on 15 million low-income families and made tax cuts available to 90 percent of small businesses, Clinton signed into law the largest deficit reduction plan in history, resulting in over $600 billion in deficit reduction. Clinton ordered the first-ever crackdown on deadbeat parents who refuse to accept financial responsibility

  • And I thank him for that

  • Um excuse me but when has Pres. Obama been incompetent. If anything the problems that he is fixing as we speek, were caused by the 8 years of hell you Republicans put us through. Stop being dumb, lock it up, look at the history of the subject matter, act your age, and be respectful. He is your President. Even if you don't like it suck it up..... I had to for 8 years while my dad was in the middle east doing Bush's bidding. You don't know anything about real situations. Obama brought my dad back.

  • great speech! too bad the sc hools made it a big fucking deal about it!

  • One of the finest presidents we will ever have. Great speech President Obama.

  • @darkskies56 Um, hate to break it to you, but Obama...well...sucks. He already has gathered more government debt in 2 years in office, than in the past 10 years. Barack Obama is ruining this country.

  • As a British citizen, its a very interesting speech. I like the guesture, but I would guess that a person who is likely to 'drop school' isn't likely to watch a politician speak about it - though he has a cool factor other politicans lack. I think that people like this can usually only be shocked back into education and sometimes, it can be many years before they realise how badly they have messed their lives up, and so its also vitally important that money is also invested into adult education.

  • Hes doing a spech tommarow at 11am

  • Comparing Islam and Christianity in the world is like comparing Apples & Windows. The problem is not the computers but rather the operating systems. Each operating system & their respective managements seek to dominate the market. Some users have looked to “open source” operating systems where they are not shackled to the doctrines, & vulnerability to crashing of the conventional systems. Some operating system managements have resorted to some underhanded strategies to maintain market share!

  • 10:30 im high while watching this

  • Today was the first time I hear this speech. I listened to the speech and then decided to read the comments made by all of you. My first question to you is: Did you listened to the entire speech? Do you have racism in your thoughts ? Are you a republican? and finally ... would you have the guts to admitt that you may have been bias about it?

  • Nigger got some bling-bling in his ear. Good to see the brotha is supporting the Jews who own the diamond mines!!! Good for you!

  • @NLR884evr Tea Party goer?

  • @jmolina103 Tea Party? Please, if you don't know what you're talking about then either ask for clarification or be quiet. Furthermore, I've read your posts and note that you articulate yourself with all the grace and nuance of a 5th grader.

  • I don't hate Obama but he is not telling the truth we have to know that. Go to "TheAlexJonesChannel" just search it on youtube he has very good info. So plz people we have to know the truth!!!

  • ("yes we can" = thank you satan) If you reverse yes we can you will hear Thank you satan. It's true Obama is worshiping the devil why not he is a Freemason duhh it doesn't make sense right? But go to youtube watch videos about it.

    And if you still don't belief it search for "illuminati" watch any video you want there are a lot. We have to know the truth what this man is hiding.

  • If you want the TRUTH then get the Govt, out of the universities!

  • dumbasses

  • Sestak Rep/PA voted for the Bill on college loans. The student applicant must NOW accept the high interest rates (8%) from the Government. They cannot shop around cause Government is the only source for funding. Nice goin Joe Sestak!!

  • @mab144000 umm... he said he lived there for a few years when he was in school dude that doesnt mean he was born there and immigrated to the usa... and anyway he isnt a citezen anymore or else he been here for so long get it right bro stop beingg so negative

  • @mab144000

    I think you forgot to click your heels together three times... Obama is still a Natural Born Citizen, and the constitutionally elected President of the United States.

  • @mab144000 You're a fucking racist bastard.

  • Some things are worth cancelling our kids' education for a day over. This wasn't one of them.

  • @keefmeister77 compared to Bush's politicizing the speech to the student's .... right...

  • Thank you and God bless you, Barrack Obama. Finally hope for the world and inspiration for young people ever. Possibly the greatest American president EVER.

  • @boydegg jackson would roll around in his grave

  • @boydegg r u blind or have u just been in a coma since 2008. things have actually gotten worse since obama has become president. umemployment is still at double digit levels, the war in afhganistan has gotten way worse and the war in iraq rages on, the national debt has increased, that health care bill was a joke. obama has followed almost exactly in bush's foot prints, but instead of fear to get what he wants, he uses false hope so that idiots like u will vote for him and he can stay in power.

  • @acdc30450

    I can't vote for President Obama, because I'm not American. But he has my full support. He's a good and honest man. The clowns that have preceded him have left America the most hated country on our planet. Obama has a long road ahead of him, but he is moving your country in the right direction. You should be proud to have him as your leader. It's easy to piss and moan and find fault - why not try a bit of positivity for a change?

  • @boydegg i used to be like u, i was over joyed when he won in 2008, and i had a positive view on him for over a year. but than i started to realise that nothing was really changing, that things were getting worse. The war in afghanistan intensified to the point that it is now more dangerous than the iraq war " which is still going". but what really convinced me that he was a fraud was his inaction to the BP oil spill for the first week, and thanks to his inaction a whole ocean is a wasteland.

  • @acdc30450 DON'T FORGET THAT 98% OF ALL THIS STARTED IN THE BUSH ADMINISNTRATION ... ALL THE BIG CORPORATIONS MADE MONEY HAND OVER FIST AND THEN WENT "BANKRUPT" ... SPEAK THE TRUTH

  • @jmolina103 Yes, a lot of this started in the bush administration, but has gotten even worse under the obama administration. The BP oil spill was worse than katrina and it is still not cleaned up, the stimulus bill was a fail and unemployment remains in the double digets and under employment is high. Afghanistan has gotten worse because of his actions and the stimulas has not fully kicked in. Yes, a lot of this started under the bush administration, but that was almost two years ago.

  • @RadarGuidedVermin you either have NO CLUE what you are talking about or your bias just blinds you ... it is absolutely deplorable that " FOX NEWS" is treated as a reliable source when clearly they have an agenda to discredit Obama. And then , puppets like you go on the internet spilling your vile hatred. Why don't you mention the party of NO?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @boydegg Really? Lincoln, Washington, Carter. Saying Barack Obama is the best president ever, is like saying that George Bush is a genius.

  • Ok look. Its fine to like Barack Obama but do not indoctrinate like a coward. Its simple

    just teach the class without political favorites of any kind weather it would be for a liberal/ progressive cause like this or a conservative cause. Not even a libertarian cause. It does not matter no politics in the schools at all and it does not matter either if the school is public or private, NO POLITICS. This is not a racist comment. Facts just need to be faced.

  • What an honor!
