Beyonce - Proud to be an American " Tribute to Barack Obama "

[john420e]

I wonder how Muammar Ghadafi's son's would feel about this video? They paid Beyonce millions of dollars for a private new years eve show, then Obama funds the rebels who drug him out in a street and killed, sort of a bad way to treat your clients.

[killer99whale]

@13snichole hell ya that dumb ass hasnt dont anything to help this country since he got elected. shit we dont even know if hes a u.s. citizen lmao f obama

[AliceBellaGirl]

I kind of wish she had said "won't forget the ones who died" instead of "won't forget the men who died" because both men and woman died to bring freedom to this country...and I know that some artists change the lyrics to be more inclusive

[unloopy]

@AliceBellaGirl I dunno how many women fought and died on battlefields in the american revolution, or the civil war, either of which would be legit wars that could be cited as giving beyonce freedom.

[asloter1]

Where is Beyonce Singing this..She is sooooo HOT !!!!!

[olliesux]

i  saw it on the news good job beyonce

[okumancy]

9/11 attack

[cmdelpino]

I was looking for different renditions of this song and thought Beyonce's would be good, and it almost was - except for the Obama references and needlessly changing the lyrics. "It's time to make a change.", "with just my family by my side...". I get it, YOU don't have a wife but please respect the author - and my intelligence. (and hearing "TO New York" instead of "AND New York" just bothers my ear).

I guess I'll keep looking...links anyone?

[BarbieSceneQueen]

GOD BLESS THE U.S.A <3

[rustydevilll]

You americans will never be fucking happy with what president you have!

[ibunkerpeople]

[biotchney]

[13snichole]

[hass118]

but i do like dis version but the other 1 is better

[melzoj]

@hass118 Change is good.

[dotey10]

dont get me wrong, i love america and i love being an american...but to make a tribute to the man who is taking a shit on what this country stands for is a little misleading...socialism is not american, surrendering is not american, and making the enemies the victims is NOT american

[macro2sancro]

wat is american?

[dotey10]

capitalism, opportunity, freedom, security, and modernization

[splicedenergy]

@dotey10 Avoid fox from now on please.

[dotey10]

@splicedenergy Yes! of all the problems this country is facing right now (terrorism, tyranny, violence)....FOX NEWS is the biggest of your concerns, you disgust me...go watch keith olbermann and rachel maddow, collect your welfare check, do nothing for the bettering of society, and expect others to make it for you....THAT, my friend, has become the new difinition of "american"

[splicedenergy]

@dotey10 Woah Woah. You my friend are fucking nuts!

[splicedenergy]

Does anyone else see how interesting that is? I pegged this person, since I was right with so little knowledge of this individual. Yet, it is so easy to recognize the mannerisms of a False Snooze junkie. And although it was attempted on his/her part to do the same to me, was very contrary. Guess their warped perception makes them believe a career oriented, educated tax payer can't possibly find Faux disgraceful to the press community. Phew! NUTS I TELL YA!

[fcdh]

GOD BLESS HOLLAND & USA !!!!

[mrstonyromo9]

people hate America,because they know we truly are the best country..God bless my amazing country! "I wont forget the men who died and gave that right to me"

[Mahe34]

It's true we do KNOW THIS IS THE BEST COUNTRY !!! And of course haters are going to say bad things.

[chrris582]

i like to think that i have a more open mind than most, but alas, i am a white man in america, so while i can never know the discrimination that the black americans face, i can make sure i never offend in that regard and that i treat everyone equally. i just wanted to point out that while there are millions of whites who don't give a damn, there are some, like me, that do. i didn't want you to go on thinking that it wasn't true. sorry again for the misunderstanding, good luck to you

[chrris582]

it seems that we have misunderstood one another. you seem to be a very intelligent person, and i respect that. i do believe that justice should be done for past wrongs and there should be no statute of limitations on something like that. i just want to point out that, like there are very ignorant black people and then very intelligent black people, the same truth applies to white people. i do believe that most white people have willed themselves into ignorance about discrimination.

[chrris582]

i can see your point there. i had misunderstood your prior texts. for that i apologize. i have nothing against black people and i know for a fact that no greater intelligent ability exists amongst any of the races or creeds. i did not mean that because all empires have used slavery that it isn't bad, i was simply pointing out that america isn't the inventor of the horrendous practice. personally i don't really care much for obama just for the reason that i have yet to see any great improvements

[pyjfever]

He might suffered discrimination just like every black person in America did, but that´s not the same. You're so naive if you don't know that Obama like every president is a puppet of people who want to give an image, they just thought that a mulatto president would give an image of normality after the bush times. I want to point out that I never used the word hate, but JUSTICE, I didn´t insult, so

there aren´t reasons to spam this, except not liking the educated reasonings of black people.

[pyjfever]

Finally you use the line of reasoning that if every single empire used slaves that can't be so bad, that's stupid and the result of not thought enough about the problem, why because it has nothing to do with you, I repeat that I don´t hate I want justice, the case of the jews is different, because the actual country and goverment is not founded over the slave work just like it happens with America. Finally Obama is not black is mulatto, and he is not descendant of slaves

[pyjfever]

Our history has been destroyed we were born in a country which in general terms has never accepted us and not by our choice, i don´t know where i am from, you at least know that you're italian, greek, anglosaxon or something like that, i'm talking about origins which is important for us who don´t know ours. At last I never used the word hate that came from you and your prejudices like thinkig we black reivindicave people hate, we don´t hate we want justice.

[pyjfever]

a lot of white people today accepts our people just as great athletes but they don't recognise us as intelligent human beings at their same level mentally, culturally and spiritually. You think that what my people should be payed is just for what our ancestors did, well that's just a part of it what about the insults, the prohibition of entering hotels... that limitated us and that's the reason why my people are in general terms a poor racial groop, that's even bigger in the south

[pyjfever]

Chrris582 No doubt you're not a black person living in this country, it's hilarious how you try to show that slavery stopped centuries ago and my people complains or hate are stupid. Legal slavery may be finished but i tell you racism is not, discrimination is not... You talk about white America well that's the America we black people get today when we ask for a job in many cases, or when we ask for a scholarship without being great athletes. Equality is far for being real...

[chrris582]

so really, who is the racist one here? the one who claims that just because a person is black then they cannot be american or proud of a country they were born in and could truly love, or the one who says that you are a moron for keeping a hatred alive after everyone from that time is gone. in fact, technically there were slaves in many countries of Africa as well, in Ethiopia they took women as SEX slaves. is that what beyonce should wish for instead of being american? you sir, are ill informed

[chrris582]

if every race or creed acted the way you do there would be huge schisms between literally everyone. should the jews still hate the egyptians? cause the isrealites were forced to build pyramids. do you also hate england? because the english had slaves long before america even existed and they had slaves longer. you don't hate america, you hate WHITE america. america is a country of free people with equal opportunity, with a black leader i might add. you hate the america of the past.

[chrris582]

really pyjfever? i would be very surprised if you yourself has ever been in slavery. you want to be paid for work you didn't do? it's horrible what happened to black people when this country began, but that has shit to do with your life. and fuck america? every single country has used slavery at some point, so i guess you are saying fuck every country or empire to ever exist. sounds kinda weird to me. i guess you thought this out tho. i hope so, cause it's people like you why racism still exists

[pyjfever]

we black people we didn't land on the plymouth rock the plymouth rock landed on us, we cannot be proud of the country which raised its future on the back of our slave ancestors...

i say fuck america, at least until we get retributions for the discrimination and opression of centuries.

[FarmerProductions]

god bless the USA and Obama

[Luftwaffels]

God Bless the USA, may we be rid of Obama in 3 years.

[2242bzo]

PROUD??!!! Pride should come from acheivement. Being born an American is not a skill. Fuck the murdering bastard troops. Support and be proud of your Constitution.

[ukwildcats313]

This song is not for obama. Its for the men who have fought and died for our freedom. All these celebreties think there opinion is greater than everyone else's.

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

not obama

[DeimosChaos]

If I could have given you more thumbs up I would definitely do so!

Let's support our troops!!!

[jeetfromusa]

GOD BLESS THE U.S.A

[waywardone4]

Our freedoms are quranteed by a most important document that our country was founded on. If you understand and truly believe in the Constitution their is no way one can support our current politicians. They are exactly the kind our Constitution is suppose to protect us from. Taxes are oppressive.A socialistic society is oppressive.

Freedom is controlling ones own life without an overbearing government. The freedom to excel in life. To better oneself. It doesn't take money to better ones mind.

[mbkc03]

what about the patriot act? doesn't that count as overbearing? i love how liberals and conservatives pick and choose what they consider as overbearing and neglecting.

[solomaniani]

You should be proud of what you do, not who you are!!!

god bless the world

[Jas2Love10]

I'll gladly stand up!!

[bmorebullet1]

That's right its funny how people forget how the US freed itself and numerous other countries. I hate how people diss the US and actually live in a country that was freed by America

GOD BLESS THE USA

[TheDesperatehousewiv]

go USA

[Beyoncefan1000]

sang that song Queen B!!!!!!!! she is the best female singer of this generation!!!

[xXcoldvibesXx]

she is the best female singer EVER

[brenden718]

WOW I sung this song for my 8th grade graduation...and I love Beyonce before the 8th grade!!!! lol!

[seattlestarinspain]

I love Beyoncé but I think this is absolutely ridiculous, USA is nice but please, learn a little bit about Europe and Canada.

[vikram301]

wtf? learn about europe and canada? ridiculous? it seems you are either jealous or angry at the USA to leave such comments on an patriotic American video.

[cypbq]

Why would anyone be jealous about company that's in such bad shape? hehe. Maybe your government can fool the huge majority in America, abroad we know the real truth.

[cypbq]

sorry, company=country.... oh well, can't help it that people see your country more like a business than a country hehe

[spanky081175]

@cypbq funny....everyone abroad loves to bash us for what we stand for yet, when theres strife in the world or something wrong against humanity here comes the USA to save the day...most of the world are severe hippocrits..if we wanted to keep everything inside our country we could..but we choos to try and help and be the leader weve become in this world...do i agree with all the decisions no, but ill support this country, and its troops...as for france if it werent for us theyd be german

[chrris582]

@spanky081175 while it's true that i love being an american, i do not love people who thy and make america seem like it saves everyone else and they'd be fucked without us. without france, we'd be british. america does its part with what it has. generally speaking america has more to spare in times of crisis to aid others, but most of the time a lot of countries contribute. the world would never get by with just one country, it takes them all.

[Luftwaffels]

Why do you care? We love it here. The fact that it bothers you that "we've been fooled" is your problem alone.

[TheVoices6]

God Bless Your Soul.....

[jameswx09]

tirithon if bush wouldent have done that terrorist would still be all over the middle east and planning more attacks against america. next were going to take care of those north korean bitches

[Cockknocker99]

[tirithon147]

[MisSeductive]

why does beyonce steal other people's songs? she's pathetic. also she killed the song for me, thanks a lot ms. copy-cat.

[fenderlover32]

Really?!? Ok, it's seriously time for you to GROW UP and STOP HATIN' on others for what you're not able to accomplish!

[PryncezAphrodite]

she definately gave full credit to the original and said she only covered it as a tribute to obama....artists do covers all the time

[BlondeCalliBabe]

she's singing it for obama dummy! its NOT her song everyone knows that ANY american is allowed to sing an Patriot Song!!

[HUGOM2C]

What xD she didn't steal anything, do you know what a cover is?? xD

[perper45]

i luv this song

[Kettle17]

God Speed Mr. President.

[AyeWeCan]

Beyonce speaks for her generation , the world

Our modern day John Lennon - better the Lennon - Beyonce has more than talk, lie in bed - she sang and sang fantastically, connected, with millons who did not even know her music, but sure do now .

And then she got out there and. campained in the streets and voting queues of Florida, Led by example - and what an example!

An absolute all time star

From a Beatles nut in bonnie Scotland

America's Rabbie Burns - i can put it no higher

[andy957]

awesome!

[stephaniewazhere]

i cried to this video, good job, yo just reminded me how proud i am to be an american!! Go Obama!!!!!!!

[qesia009]

Now I look at Americans and envy them! Beautiful song, well sang; the photo of oprah and the rev. and the other famous faces there all together in this, brought tears to my eyes. Really proud to be Americans now! In God we trust indeed.

[marasita212]

amazing.. all i can say

[Finguzzilago]

EUROPE <3

[alexshablya]

political situation

[mrhyoung]

That was beautiful!!! I love Beyonce!!!!!!!!!!

[skeloth]

Why do Americans think they have a monopoly on freedom? It's not like the whole of Europe is under a dictatorship. Completely the opposite, in fact. 'Proud to be free' would be more apt. And I'm all for patriotism, but what about a little humility and modesty?

[defenestration689]

It's not so much that we think that we're the only place in the world that has freedom, but rather that we are proud. We're proud because we were probably the first state to declare itself independent for the pure sake of freedom, rather than just wanting to separate from a ruling power due to a difference in religion, language, or any other cultural aspect.

[skeloth]

Which is one of the things that annoys me. Americans (originally European, essentially) took the best of Europe as a jumpstart for the entire American culture, and then discarded their roots for no critical reason whatsoever.

I have nothing against Americans as individuals, it's more the national attitude that's a little grating.

[defenestration689]

Of course there was a critical reason for the US to break away from Britain, otherwise we wouldn't have done so in the first place. One of the main reasons the US declared its independence was because the people felt that they were not being treated fairly by their colonizers. In the 1700's, the British Parliament and King George III decided to place heavy taxes on many essential things like stamps, sugar, on the people living in America, even though Americans had no say in it.

[defenestration689]

How would you feel if all of sudden, a group of people just decided what you were going to do for the rest of your life and you had no say whatsoever? It was even more of a slap in the face for the Americans back then because they were working and making wealth for Britain with no thanks in return but a bunch of hefty taxes on essential items. It might have been fair if the taxes had also been placed on the people in Britain, but that wasn't the case.

[defenestration689]

Also doesn't it seem illogical for a smaller country like the United Kingdom to rule such a large landmass as the 13 American colonies at that time without even giving the colonies representation in Parliament? It's even more illogical because the the population of the colonies at the time was much larger than that of the UK's. So in this case, Britain ruling the US was a case of rule by the minority.

[charismaticsoul1]

I agree with defenestration689, every country has it's own tell of hardship and obstacles. And we have songs that depict what are country stands for or should stand for. Only Now in this resent time can we really say Our Country Tis of Thee Sweet Land Of Liberty, or Sing Our National Anthem with pride, because we have overcome the obstacles that kept us down as a country for so long. We Have a new found Pride in Our Country,I myself Am very Proud of the Progress that we made and is to Come.

[idol4989]

Umm we dont have to be humble and modest..We're Americans..dont like it..KISS ASS!! LOL

[skeloth]

^ Exactly what I'm talking about.

[idol4989]

love you...

[idol4989]

GO AMERICA!!!!

[thePROBLEM233]

Damn right!! Love or hate us but you can't break us.

[vikram301]

"monopoly on freedom"? lol this country was founded on being free from tryranny, we fought for our freedom, and thats why americans arent modest about letting others know.

[skeloth]

note: doesn't mean you have a monopoly on it.

[MyBeautyOverloads]

beautiful

[AkeemJamal90]

I need to clear my favorites to add this,
