  • Staten Island 4 Obama!!!

  • i love obama everything he says is true

  • Long Island for Obama!!!!

  • america wake up!!!!!!!!

    obama 08

  • Im not american :) but i think this guy really does deserve to win.

    I think he would be great

  • OBAMA '08! :D

  • lets go to chenge the orl OBAMA

  • Obama promotes himself as the agent of change and good judgement but, sadly has proven to possess neither. Contrary to the spin Barack did not vote against the war. He did however vote against change and for things to remain the same when he voted against the surge. He also supported moveon's portrayal of General Petraeus as General Betrayus. Many have been mislead by fools gold... beware, all that glimmers is not gold. McCain would not be my first choice but, Obama would be my last.

  • hey xynixie - maybe it is YOU that needs to do some more research. There's 2 bil barrels of oil off the coast of California already. They even have the rigs in place but cannot drill for it. ANWR in Prudhoe Bay, AK, has approx. 10.4 billion barrels of oil. We have it and have the technology to get to it safely but cannot touch the stuff. Guess we should just wait and watch China and Russia drill off our coast (as they will off the coast of Cuba and Cuba is 90 miles from the tip of the FL Keys).

  • Barack Obama is our last hope, & it's quite sad to know that Mindless American's would rather see this country fail than to vote an African American into office. It's wrong that ignorant Americans criticize everything that Obama has to say & yet over look so many mistakes Mccain has made in almost all of his interviews. It's like some people are trying to find any reason not to vote for Obama. They come up with all this false propaganda & call it truth...Americans really need to wake up!!!

  • whoa i didnt know so many other countries cared about who will be our president. thats good to know

  • Viva Obama!!!!!!!!!!

  • I believe Barack Obama will win this election. And when he does, I can't wait to see the dishonest companies get what's coming to them, and the power to go back to the people. I can't wait to see the money to go towards real solutions.

  • More wind energy and more sugar ethanol.

  • the U.S. national debt topped $9 trillion

    a billion seconds is approximately 32 years

    A BILLION dollars, at a dollar a second, in the year 2039.

    A trillion seconds is roughly 32 thousand years.

    At a dollar a second, you'd pay back a TRILLION dollars in 34007.

    The U.S. debt stands at $9 trillion.

    A dollar a second and no further spending, the U.S. could be debt- 290007.

    If the average American family of five owes at least $149,737,50 in assets excluding liabilities.

    America is bankrupt

  • exactly.. yet there are americans who just dont get it

  • sometimes he doesnt make me believe that he is actually agreeing with what he is saying. honestly i dont know why he wouldnt want to drill. i think as a politican you must prostitute yourself to the people and right now he is really satasfying environmentalists by talking about 'green jobs' along with not drilling and i dont understand how he can 'make sure people without healthcare can be provided healthcare' and by promising that he will never break a promise he might be setting himself up...

  • There is no oil to drill. If any of you cattle did even 10 seconds of research you would realize we have NO OIL and only OIL SHALE.

  • The whole world, other than those who are detached from reality, wants him to win and if he doesn't it will be damn disappointing to everyone

  • Finally, someone who understands what we have to do to fix this country.

  • asia for obama

  • yeah the liberal congress that is behind obama wont even dig cause they say that it will hurt the environment, but if we drill correctly we would be able to get alot more oil. it is all out there waiting for us, o yeah 100 mile to the gallon cars only have like one seat and are 100 million dollars. now the thing with the troops is dumb to do. bring our troops home during the war.....thats a buncha horse dung!

  • why not produce oil the smae way that its done in canada vis soil.

  • it's the oil that's the problem

  • amen

  • Europe - and in particular Germany - is FOR OBAMA!!!

  • rep of ireland is for obama if he doesnt get the job its a crime he is wat america and the world needs

  • This guy is FDR and JFK combined. The greatest politician of our age.

  • Yes we might be in the white house I never thought and adults as well we would see a black president wow

  • yes we can.

    barack the vote america.

  • Obama 2008!!!!!!!

  • If he prepares his speeches, He Is great at It.

    If he goes out there are wing's It, he might as well just leave the place.

  • he makes such general statements

  • Good job!

  • bold statements what a grand nation it will be if the possibilities are achieved

  • "People are used to seeing promises broken"

    For example, voting to give telecommunication companies immunity for their illegal activity and allowing them to now expand their scope.

    I am still going to vote for Obama because he is a much better candidate than McCain, but voting along with the Republicans doesn't make you look stronger on National Security, it makes you look weak because you caved in.

  • damn i actually wanted to goto the city and see this speech

  • I would vote for Obama or Ron Paul! Both are great senators!

  • He is so inspiring. I have a lot of faith in Obama and I really see a lot of potential in him. He can really change America for the better!

  • Obama 08

  • What more do people need to know? I have no personal disrespect towards John McCain, but there is little doubt that this is the most important election not only to our country, but also on how the world views us. It's very obvious- Barack Obama's worth giving the opportunity to.

    BARACK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I agree with everything he said except gay and straight

  • Obama 08!

    He's the real deal.

  • What about FISA?

  • victory is patriotic

  • Drill here drill now pay less

  • that's not going to do anything over the long run. if you goin solve a problem. you shouldn't have to keep solving it every year!

  • YEAH! Drill NOW! Let Chevron/EXXON drill and take the oil out THAT WE DON'T GET. The government isn't the one doing the drilling. Private companies drill and the oil goes straight into the global market. Know what that means? We share that oil with China,India,Brazil,Japan,Korea­..the whole world. You know what that means? You'll be paying approximately 5 cents less for gas in about 5 years time.

    Lets Drill...woohooo...we can still drive our useless overpriced SUVs!

  • I sincerly doubt that. Arabia increased out put by a lot. prices still went up. We gave the oil companies enough federal land for 20 years of oil. I don't hear them drilling. We been in iraq or how long now? Where is bin Laden? Define victory. Define terrorism. I saw his speech on Iraq before the invasion. I must say, he was right in every way. Psychic. Lol.

  • Pay less when?

  • well youll wait at least 7 years for single drop of oil, not only that it will just increase oil dependency. and look at that pollution.

  • After you get hired you are expected to do you're job nether affirmative reaction nor the union can save you.

  • Hydrogen Now!

  • As always, the man has important and credible things to say. A natural born leader.

  • The world will see American as being a truly great country again once he is in office. and that will get us back on track with the economy and world trade.

  • Italy for OBAMA. You can change the world... I hope...

  • Please keep this man safe. He is your best chance of regaining respect around the world. You have a terrible bloody history with visionary, great men... black and white and I really fear fro his life.

    A UK Friend

    Obama 08

  • yea boy!

  • America vote OBAMA !!!!!!!!

    * Obama ²008 *

  • Go For It OBAMA You're Simply the Best!!!

  • the old song hard rock candy mountain dream on

  • I'm glad to see so many people responding to promise of a greater America with Sen. Obama at the helm I believe that he is our hope for a more prosperous, bright and changed America. We desperately need change from the old, devisive politics that has dragged our economy and our spirits down. Please lets do ths together. Yes we can, yes we will.

    Obama08!

  • sounds good, hope just hope he is a good guy for once.

  • I am used to seeing promises broken, for instance on FISA and warrantless wiretapping and telecom immunity.

  • Yeah, this is what Barack was talking about here. People think, "Oh, he's selling us out!" because we're accustomed to being sold out, but stop and give him some credit. He understands politics, maybe even better than you do.

  • You let us down on FISA and Iraq, don't BS, no more support until you drop the soundbites and get out of the middle and stay on the left.

    Edwards, you got screwed and we miss you.

  • WE NEED BARACK NOW !!!!!!!!!

  • i hope sen. Obama make it easy to live in america and have a chance to bea citizens pls sen.Obama

  • He's a fantastic speaker and he would be a fantastic President.

    Obama 08

  • Germany for Obama!

  • The UK is for for Obama.

  • A potentially great President....but a truly great man to put himself through this crap!!

    But - too dumb on economics and hard capitalism ; he cannot escape his left-wing stupidity. He is a symbol of value but a virgin in policy.

  • yeah, if obamas elected he has a lot of shit on his hands. But, if McCain we are seriously screwed. Plz elect obama for the sake of at least trying to save our country and maybe help the world as well.

  • god bless america. america by electing this guy have shown the whole world they are champion of democracy. they dont look at race,tribes like those morons african. may God bless americaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • This Was On My Birthday!

  • te guy is just anointed to b king,america n world seize this moment and dont alow this gift from God for the whole world just slip away just because of his color of skin. less than a mm behind that skin is the same skin that all human share.dont allow less than mm of skin make u forsake al the wisdom God has invested in this guy.BY THE WAY WELL DONE TO WHITES IN AMERICA,BECAUSE THE BIG PERCENTAGE VOTED FOR THIS GUY,MANY COMPARED 2 EVEN BLACKS,MAY ALL NATIONS LEARN FROM U WHAT CLEAN DEMOCRACY IS

  • Hello Mr President!!!

  • You tell them Obama!!!

    Yes we can change this county!!!

    martinmary555

  • I'm not happy about the FISA bill and support the ACLU bringing this case to court. There were good people on both sides of this issue.

    I still believe that Obama is the best chance we have had for years to make a change in the course of American politics.

  • I agree

  • Lol, he's talking about himself in the third person now :)

  • McCain will continue Bush's policies.

    That is BORROW and SPEND, increase inflation, and screw the middle class. The rich need their million dollar tax cuts.

  • Obama 08!

  • He explained that today and gave a very good response.

    BUt if you dont want to support him so be it.

    Obama 08

  • Read his explanation for voting for FISA. You might not agree but you should at least see where he is coming from. He is not going to side with you on every issue. You should vote for him because he is the best choice.

  • Again! your speech makes all the sense in world. When ever someone gives an out standing speech it's imperative to recognize his extra effort. I had that pleasure recently hearing your speech again. Your diligence and professionalism have reassured me that you are the only one best for the job of being our President. No one else would do. I like the way you get to the point of things.

  • This is the moment in our history that we must resolve to choose a new path. Global Warming is REAL, the health-care system in America is in crisis... it is imperative that we elect a President who will change course and begin to really address this nations many problems from $4 gas to job loss to once again having a foreign policy that actually makes sense. Frankly, I don't want a President to toss back beers with, I want a President who has taught Constitutional Law!

  • I support Obama but his FISA vote looks dishonest: The U.S. Constitution, long before the Bill of Rights, banned EX POST FACTO laws, which FISA is, in that it shields telecom companies from lawsuits over CRIMES THEY'VE ALREADY COMMITTED against U.S. citizens. The EX POST FACTO clause of the Constitution makes clear that NO LAW can be passed protecting someone from legal consequences of crimes already committed. Obama is a lawyer, so he knows he's acting illegally & unconstitutionally. WHY?!

  • FISA. NO SINGLE PAYER. nuff said.

  • you are NOT for solar. stop lying. you are NOT for single payer health coverage. you are NOT for the people. what about FISA?! do you like the govt. spying on us obama?! man, i used to support you.

  • He is not making empty promises...he is saying if we get together we can...nothing is impossible...

  • Obama is 24/7, 365,366 always about change. And it's for the betterment of everyone, not just one class, but everyone. Looking our for the future and taking care of the present, he's addressing everything. That's why he's my candidate. Moving speeches and motivating people, this is the change that America has been needing and looking for.

    OBAMA `08

    -Swink-

  • Make us belive in America again Obama.

  • Obama baby!!! 2008, let's finally do something about our damned government. You have to admit, he is better than his opposition, whom can barely remember his name and will most likely not survive his reign of tyranny anyway<--"statistically" Obama '08

  • So is Obama still thinking about withdrawing our troops from Iraq?

  • OF COURSE HE IS.

  • Yes, he has always wanted out troops out and will continue to work on the plan to get out of Iraq. The thing is he wants to do it safe and in a manner that does not affect the safty out our troops

  • Yes he is.

  • haha...he promises to solve Global Warming. only 2% of green house gases are caused by humans. Global Warming is going to happen and there's nothing we can do to stop it.

    DON'T BUY INTO EMPTY PROMISES!!!

  • Get a clue before posting crap.

  • First step: Don't buy into false facts.

  • THANK YOU! Finally someone other than me has the guts to say the truth.

  • Shut your mouth and learn to love it.

    Obama 08

  • i swear to god, I f john Mccain wins the race im going to be angry!

  • When is the mainstream media going to end its love affair with John McCain? He gets a pass on some pretty heinous stuff and they go after Obama for the silliest things.

  • i agree they stay on obama's nutts and jesse jackson wants to cut them off

  • Barack Obama...if there is a god, please have mercy and let him win. He can make the changes that america is longing for...please please

  • he would look cooler if he would stop putting his hands in his pocket and taking them out every second

  • Extraordinary times require Extraordinary Leaders. Vote OBAMA!

  • obama is really a candidate of change.

    he will make a great president.

    his speeches are moving and really give hope to people about how we can change our country and make it better.

    obama '08

  • obama 08

  • There's a lot of threads to untangle in this country; he'd be lying if he said he 'had it all figured out'

  • Power to the People!

    May the best candidate win.

    For those unafraid of freethinkers, PLEASE, check my youtube page.

    humbly awaiting your approval.

  • Say HALLO to US' new president!

  • Low mileage = Higher gas price = Higher tax revenue = bigger budget for our government

  • I really hope he wins the election.

  • I love him!

  • obama i will support u but you took the easy way out on the fisa bill rather than showing some leadership and defining yourself in contrast to bush/mccain. please do not make the same mistakes as kerry and sell yourself as bush lite

  • bodah44, you can run for office on fisa only. People would agree with you 100%

  • so good

  • I hope America gets a black president... he will resurrect all the old-school comedians.

  • Not funny

    Obama 08

  • way to go Barack. lets pull out of this mess of Bush/Mccain and use the billions of money we are wasting in Iraq to fix the economy

  • I think Obama would be a good President, but I still think McCain will win. (>;.;)>

  • Same shit different day.

  • first yeah baby

  • Barack '08

  • WOW..... im all in.

  • i knew you would win

  • Look at how many times he puts his hand in his pocket, lol.

  • Please America!

    Please!

    Don't blow it.

  • Yeah first comment

  • We need Obama because he can help us Believe in ourselves again. There's nothing that can't be done if you have Hope, Courage, and Faith!

    Sounds corny, but it happens to be the truth.

  • I disagree with Obama's vote on the FISA bill, but I will not sway towards the Republican party. The issues that are at stake in this election are far too important to become divided over issues like the FISA bill. Besides that nothing in this world could compell me to vote for John Mcsame. He has to be one of the pathetic candidates I've ever seen run for President in my life.

  • Marking each day that passes with an "X" on the calender. OBAMA 08!

  • Seize the moment! Great speech.

  • Thank you for bringing back up health care. That is the most important issue for me, having 4 children.

  • Drop that knowledge Barack, pulling for change this November.

  • dis guy goin to win

  • yea like fisa WEEEEK

  • Moving to the center is all very well, but in order to not appear spineless and calculating, some decisive action is also required. The most logical act is to push for contempt proceedings to be brought against Karl Rove in congress. There is no reason not to bring to justice someone whom many believe is a criminal who has done nothing but polute politics and is doing his best to derail Obama's campaign. There is nothing to be gained by simply letting him of the hook, nothing whatsoever.

  • Yes. As Barack Obama herein states there are profound problems...let's Bring Back America! We need to get together, to vote and to be active in recharging this country. Obama has brought hope back and I for one am going to do my best to re-enthuse the cynical youth.

  • I believe what Obama says. I just hope the Republicans don't turn it into the Kerry "flip-flop" thing. Obama never changed his mind, he just said listening to the commanders on the group might change the WAY he goes about what he wanted.

  • You inspire me so much Senator Obama! I will continue to pray for you and your family as you run this campaign, I know for sure that you will be the future President of the United States! I hope you pick Kathleen Sebelius for your Vice President!

    OBAMA/SEBELIUS 2008-2016

  • Can't wait till he gets in office... GO OBAMA!! Make sure everyone you know votes!!

  • I HOPE THIS DOSE'NT GO WRONG.

  • OBAMA 08!!!!!!!! HE HAS MY VOTE!!!!

  • People are way too used to broken promises. we have been plagued with broken promises and lies for the past 8 years under the reign of George W. Bush. I think Obama has his stuff together to get the job done.

  • Just listen to this man's words... He knows what he says and he seems to be so sure of it. That's the kind of President we need. A confident, capable, and trustful person.

  • 1st! :) Obama is the only choice! OBAMA for president.

  • yes we can

    change the world

  • Everything is possible when we come together with a will to make things better. We need a leader with who will call to our highest instincts. That's why I'm voting for Obama.

  • why'd you vote for fisa amendment?

  • Nice speech.

  • Thats the point! Great Speech Obama. Keep it up but please be very carefull as the media are waiting for you to slip up on your words.

  • Saying you'd filibuster any FISA bill with retroactive immunity and then voting for the bill is breaking promises Mr. Obama. You lost my vote today.

  • yes mr president not this time january 20 here i come

  • You can say that again! The media makes things small and worthless. Instead of "News reporting" we get "commentary". Who are these pundits to tell me what is happening. I'm an American...I SEE WHAT IS GOING ON CLEARLY! The government has been run by corporations for years and we get screwed because of it! They want to make A LOT of money, so they say fuck all you American workers, we don't care about you or the soldiers, we just WANT MORE!!! When is enough enough? 30 billion? 80 billion?

  • FIRST!

  • go Obama.08

    rep for obama 08

  • Obama 08 and we Cant Wait!!!

  • 1st comment.. Barack you Rock

  • OBAMA 08

  • Obama has been constant on Iraq. The "Drive by Media" is spending its credibility on these lies.

    Day one Obama said "We must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting it." He took heat in the primary for his reasoned and conditional position on a Iraqi withdrawal from Bill Richardson and others for not committing to an immediate withdraw. He should get credit not criticism.

    Check for yourself, he as "conditions dictate" unlike others.

    Maybe the reporters missed the debates.

  • Can you publish the full speech please?

  • Obama'08

  • The time has come to cast aside the politics of old and embrace Barack Obama!

  • I'm with you on that. A new day is coming. Gonna be qiute a ride.

  • LOVE THIS MAN! =] OBAMA 08

  • I think I like him better than McNugget, but something about him still kinda makes me uneasy. Still he's pretty liberal and that's all I care about ;P

  • Obama is the truth. We need him in the office. we need him in the future. He keeps his promise. He is the choosen one. for presidents. American will be alot better with an intellectual. president as himself. Barack obama is the future of this country and its a good future. As i listen to this speech. I can feel the truth and courage in his un-denying moving voice. Black or white. it doesnt matter the race. it matters what on the inside and he has good beleifes and all. OBAMA 08. thank you.
  • Promising to make universal health care a reality by the end of his first term is a big promise to be making. How will Obama help get the insurance premiums lowered? He hasn't said exactly how that will get done. Sometimes I really wish that Obama would be more specific. He says that he wants to do all these great things and I'm sure that he has an idea of how to get it done but he hasn't told us (the voters) exactly how it'll all get done.

  • Come to Australia Barack! We love you here! If America doesnt want you in November, we'll have you! :)

  • Some of us people would feel less cynical if "seizing the moment" included voting against gutting the Fourth Amend and providing legal protections for illegal acts by voting for the FISA Expansion.

  • true that!!

  • haha people are used to obama changing his position. His (limited) political career is rife with back-pedaling and position-changing.
