2008 NAACP John McCain Speech

[Lauren376]

mc cain is good but obama is the right to be the president of the united states hes the won to vote for

[sikwitit72491]

If i was mcCain right then and there . .i would have started saying black jokes! lol.

[EsotericDesi]

We as Obama's supporters do know what he stands for... McCain admitted on tv he doesn't know even basic economics... and to make the situation worse, he picked a crackhead bimbo from Alaska as his running mate... so much for him being a "Maverick" as he caved to the Far-Right Wing nutjobs like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity... I respect McCain, I supported him back in the year 2000 when he really was a true MAVERICK... But, this election, I was heartbroken to see him sell his soul for votes...

[12oink12]

1) you are stupid

2) idiot

3) McCain said economics isnt his 'stongest suit', not that he didnt know basic economics.

[EsotericDesi]

McCain I felt spoke from his heart in this speech, but, later on, GOP started pulling the strings by forcing him to select a trash-lady as Vice Presidential nominee...

[supremejuice]

i voted obama but i like mccain and respect him especially in the video.

[eliasyoocoolman]

OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!

[batchmister1]

doesn't he sound like he could be Jack Nicholson's father?

[batchmister1]

I am so mad that McCain didn't win! I had the audacity to hope that he would be the next president of the united states why didn't america take the votes from the blacks for the third election in a row? No one would care anyway. Shouldn't Obama be a black leader and McCain a world leader? We already know America will not accept a black president, a radical at that. Collin Powell knew not to run. F*** Everything And Run Obama. Make Biden president before the backlash catches up with you!!!!!!

[supremejuice]

u are ignorant so fuck u and have a nice day

[Elcukuyo]

DUMB FUCK

[adrius]

Not really stupid. It's been indisputably proven that the vast majorty of people who voted for Obama have no idea what he's actually about. In fact, he's already breaking a large majority of his promises, and he's fucking up the economy even more with this "stimulus" package that's over 1000 pages long, that no one got to READ before voting on it. His approval ratings are steadily cratering for a reason. Be a mindless sheep if you have to though, have fun with that.

[Michthemitch]

Unbelievable. that people consider to vote for this man...!!! where have they been for the last 8 year..on Mars????

[Trinity627]

lmao that was funny

[beaglenuts55]

Pero Obama ya esta para la fregada.

[1MSNARA]

3 trillion dollars plus interest...

[lynnsimmons]

mattfullback10 you may have a point to make but who can understand your text gobbledegook? Let's be clear in our communication so everyone can understand what we are saying

[abovemypaygrade]

so we should all use short sentences, use one or two syllable easy words, use the words AAAANNNDDD and OOORRR and rhymne?

[zathura345]

Nobama

[batchmister1]

Homama

[ShootinStarLooker1]

Nice speech. He made all the important points. It doesn't mean I'm voting for him. As Americans, I believe it's very important for us to remember the promises that both parties make to us, and HOLD THEM TO KEEPING THESE PROMISES!

[mattfullback10]

but hes rite. 8 out 10 african american ppl flunk outa schools. hes not racist. its just a fact. nd if we leave the was hes iraq is just gona bomb us

[batchmister1]

Look at what you wrote. You must have flunked out of school as well.

[shadowsofdream]

selective questions??? humm anyone felt McCain knew the questions? one guy never got to ask his, though he had the mic and ready to talk

[ebroadcasters]

the NAACP managed the questions. McCain's team were unaware of the questions until they were asked.

[NimituuAngel]

hey why don't we get into a war with russia too!! then we can even more money into another countless war!!!

[sakonhagakure]

Been there done that (for the past 60 years) and still have the t-shirt.

[czyaznboi]

booo i want obam RACE DONT MATTER

[sk8ter98741]

+1 jarhead Obama couldnt make up his mind over 130 times! he couldnt decide "yes" or "no" how is he suposed to command an country?

mccain/palin-08

[beaglenuts55]

A good point.

[wild1girl]

GO OBAMA!

[jarhead1292]

Obama: "uhhh...uhhh....errr....i voted in the senate...i said "present" when the took....uhhh...attendance.....­uhhhh...the surge in iraq is working better than ever but i...uhhh....jost won't admit....it....uhhh...this interview is over bill....o'reilly....uhhh...err­r.......where's my....uhhh...teleprompter?"

[heyazzhole]

oh my,,,McCain is so God like and his speech made me switch to vote for him. I have noe awaken and realized Obama really hates the usa

[millsie08]

no, he is saying that all of republicans TALK alike during election time. it is as if they are all no longer autonomous......but just for the season.

[beaglenuts55]

Re: Senator Obama's "degrees, many of us have advanced degrees, but academic experience does not represent a true preparation for the office of president of the United States. Longtime proven leadership, courage, the ability to make sound decisions under pressure,& dedication to improving rights, liberty, & protecting the precious concept of equality & respect for all Americans are indispensable pre-requisites for our next president. Senator McCain is the only candidate with all those qualities.

[wylena45]

McCain is a good speaker but he is not talking to me. He is not talking on the issues that concern me and my family. I believe just like Obama he is about changing what the Bush administration has done to this country. To be honest I am scared to vote for either and I know another surprise will come before the election. Not sure which party but one is on the way. Just be prepared.

[SomnioxDali]

I have the same sentiments.

[sakonhagakure]

I'm curious what issues do concern you and your family?

[wylena45]

Healthcare, education, social security, the economy and job security. I have two children and my decisions now will effect them in the future. I need someone that gives direct answers with a productive outcome. And like I said in my previous response someone was going to surprise us and it was McCain with his VP pick. I don't feel that was a wise decision to pick her and if you look at it him picking her and her Alaskan priviledges on oil drilling puts more money in who pocket. Not mine.

[ma1upit2f0ol]

i guess the end of the world is near

[GoLuckyOops]

"Uh... Uh. uh, uh. Ummmm. I'm Obama" Lets raise taxes, that and his inexperience and beautiful youth will save him. Oh and say please to dictators thriving off oil sales, yeah that will stop them.

[TeseProductions]

TRUE THAT

[sk8ter98741]

Listening to Obamas ideas sounds like hes only going to worsen the repression...

[rockoownz]

Obama/Palin?

Its Obama/Biden...

[jladrae]

McCain '08!

[rockoownz]

You really want another four years of Iraq,Iran Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Russia?

All the following we will go to war with, If McCain gets in that is.

[sk8ter98741]

Were not at war with iraq its terror...

Do YOU want another purl harbor, 9/11?

All the following will happen if obama gets in.

[rockoownz]

We are in Iraq, Iraq and the terrorists inside NEVER Commited Preal Harbor, Or 9/11.

The Enemy in Afghanistan commited 9/11.

How can you even compare pearl harbor to 9/11?

1. that was back in ww2

2. It was attack with th use of military not 16 muslims stealing planes. Plus it was Japan.

[dealingwith2]

What exactly will Obama change. He talks utter bullshit and trys to get a popularity vote. What soome people fail to understand is your not voting for the most charasmatic president but the one who can do the job best. Vote McCain 08.

[ukoffline]

Obama said : Change happens because the American people demand it, because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time. GO OBAMA GO

[thealchemist20009]

the american people shouldn't have to demand change, the us should know what needs to be improved.

[rockoownz]

Obama knows what to improve McCain does not. He just wants to continue a pointless war, What else has he promised?

[tenouttaten]

Yaaaawn!! I never thought anything could suck the energy out if me especially after just watching the Obama speech- I was so energised. I need a redbull! The fact is this man doesn't have much life in hem left- clearly! I cant watch anymore I'm at work and i can't afford to fall asleep on the job. Peace out.

[thealchemist20009]

nice, you just wasted ur time, idiot

[rockoownz]

Obama 08 pls.

[thealchemist20009]

nope i dont think so

[Roelandvinken]

Obama 08

[basketball4eva4]

but if we do more troops will be dieng for nothing aswell...

[thealchemist20009]

not really

[DarkSilver19]

OBAMA!! go watch his speech...it has way more energy and excitment in it

[Roelandvinken]

ur kiddin right? Im falling asleep while watching this.

[drhine14]

mccain 08!

[nstrommel]

I have seen Obama and Clinton compliment McCain many times. If you pay attention, they are both employing a lot of the same rhetorical strategies. I disagree that Obama and McCain are similar in their politics, but we do need to try a little harder to determine their real differences, and saying that one half of the country is "unable to think" does nothing to keep this country great.

[Stuicide00]

You will only see the republicans complimenting the democrats. McCain compliments Barack, V.P Palin complimented Hilary during her speach yesterday. You dont ever see the democrats complimenting the republicans. This has to deal with their inability to think and to reason.

McCain-Palin 08!!

[HUlvr]

That's not true. If you watched some of the speeches made by democrats this year, many of them have complimented Mccain and told about their friendship(s) with him, whether or not he's fit to be President.

[jarhead1292]

yea and obama compllimented mccain too in his speech

ohh and then balsted him for the rest of it

mccain/palin08

[Netia1128]

Maybe you should have watch Obama's DNC acceptance speech, where he complicated Mccain various times. Once again, Mccain supporters = not so smart.

[AntiKoerper5]

McCain will save the american most importent thing and that´s the American Millitary Technologie! America needs weapons, couz if america lose this Millitary clout, the Americans will be sometime attacked by some terrorist or some other countries! Obama will save money, but McCain will save the Amerikan Goverment and the American population!

[liumei1016]

he is trying to play the racist card here. how many times he have to mentioned repeatedly that obama is african american.

[doodelay]

he's not real at all, it all just seems like a facade :/

a big "sweet talker"

while obama is very inspiring and doesn't appear to be a wolf in sheep's clothing at all unlike McCain. its all so fake and boring.

[JettaBlack777]

I'm still voting for obama i know that he understands our struggles more than Mccain does. Voting for Mccain is like voting for another george bush. I belive that what ever problems Obama is faced with he can meet that standard.Mccain on the other hand i don't think that he fully understand what families had to go through this year.

[jarhead1292]

Joe biden himself said that "the presidency is not for on-the-job training."

you want change? vote mccain

how is obama supposed to change when he has ZERO experience? how is he supposed to not be bush when he has dont ZERO things to help this country

vote mccain..with ezperience comes change...

[JTtafoya]

McCain for America! Obama's a muslum

[shuckslbj]

You gotta hand it to Johnny for doing this. Nervous though I'm sure he was (knowing he didn't stand much of a chance of winning over the NAACP), he had balls to appear before them. They may have been wrinkly balls, but they were balls nonetheless.

[phonebook93]

hahahahahahahahaha thats so true. haha

[dwaswyf]

you know, whether you like mccain or obama, you have to admit that mccain is able to admit when his opponents do well.

[marfierainbowfish]

That's called playing politics.

[phonebook93]

thats called competition. make yourself look good and say that your opponent is good despite the fact that you most likely dotn really think that. how many people want a president who says, "Yeah im the greatest and he sucks... vote for him and your stupid." ?

[magiczhang93]

Yeah, he's really funny, he also has some points that makes sense. Of course he never seems to act on them

[magiczhang93]

to the bush comment

[kitkat0425]

McCain all the way!!! McCain '08.

[andrewk78]

Yeah McShame!!!!!

[SirSmokealotx]

now, i'm for barack obama, and always will, but afterall both candidates have the same final goal, a safe and prosperous America, i mean i 100% agree with mccains idea of patriotism of putting the nation first, but i don't like his energy plan or idea to continue the war.

[nbabound254]

they have the same goal with very different ways of reaching them.

OBAMA O8!

[TheFishingChannel8]

why not continue the war? if we don't continue then all of those troops would have died for nothing.

[SirSmokealotx]

actually our troops during the war didn't die for nothing, they got saddam hussein killed and they made iraq a safer place to live

[lustandcupcakes]

we dont need a president, we need to see the sky again, realize and remember what we are and who we are..

[lustandcupcakes]

aliens everywhere trying to control the human race

[timjones066]

McCain '08

[HoltHockey27]

McCain '08

[Mariosuper12]

Obama '08

[1yearyounger]

mccain! 08

[VOLVERHURTS]

I am happy with both mccain and obama,

i knew john edwards and mitt rommney are creeps

[motionjunkie]

WOW. Obama's and McCains Energy plans are eerily similar....I guess It just comes down to who you think will actually follow on through with the plans.

[spartanburg1234]

OBama 08 we dont want another george bush

[ashleynsmith2008]

As a member of NAACP I am actually glad to see a Republican who is willing to go the National Convention. Since NAACP is a non-partisan org with many Republican members who are very conservative.

[klimaxxx06]

McCain opposed MLK Holiday..and voted against is repeatedly..he was wrong then and he's wrong now...OBAMA 08

[Calcbox]

He says "thank you" like 15 times at the beginning.

Obama '08

[pcgshow]

go obama!

[wttishot]

This isn't a competition for who gives a better speech. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I think there are more important things to be concerned about then whether or not he's a good speaker. Listen to what he's saying instead of focusing on how he's saying it.

[NomarEtnod]

NO...his speeking shows that he's too old, and out of touch.

[CplFilly18over]

that's absouletaly right!! but most people everywhere in the world jugde politicians by looks and stuf, but what really matters is what he says and what he does.

[Frogger0neXx]

wttishot" if thats the case, Obama still win over Mccain.Obama attack most of the issues we need fix. Plus the proof is in front of your face, Mccain Agrees with most of what Bush is doing, Said himself in his speech that the economy will stay the way it is. And what makes Obama a great canidate, is that he makes all of America come together, feel important, That the change we need doesn't come from Washington, it comes to Washington by the people of United States.

Obama 08" all the way.

[ManicPatriot1988]

McCain 08!!!!!! VOTE MCCAIN!!!!!VOTE MCCAIN!!!!!

[Sladethetermanater87]

pwnage he is awesome i want mccain to win :D dont bother posting all these stuff calling me a dumb ass cause i have an opinion.Now a days you cant have an opinion without someone calling you a dumb ass or some other insult.McCain 08!

[runningchance]

Dang, Juan Pablo McCain - thanks for your service to the country in the Navy and as a Senator but I am going with Barr, or I might even give Obama a shot but definitely not you McCain.

[UltimaKilo]

Wow McCain might have won a few people over with his Q&A style. The NAACP needs to do something about the mics and they should have had it better organized (although it seems to be McCain's idea that might have been on a whim).

[mrhempstead3]

John McCain puts me to sleep everytime he speaks.

Lord help us if we have to listen to a McCain State of the Union address! :(

Are there no charismatic Republicans? I need to find one!

[hotrodcamaro1234]

but when he becomes president he will help our nation better then obama or clinton or bush soo show the vet some respect.

[PlatinumJester]

Mayor Juliani (cant spell it properly)is the only credible Republican.

[BYRON2SEXY]

boooooooooooooring!!!

[ap8610]

This is who I'm for.

[maciab]

ok but why did you oppose Martin Luther King jr. holiday???????????

[ProserpinaFC]

Martin Luther King jr. didn't want a holiday, or streets named after him or any of what we have done.

I don't know and don't care why McCain didn't, but anyone that ever paid attention to MLK should know that he wished to be meek and humble like the good lord said to be.

[ManicPatriot1988]

Because its a joke

[timjones066]

McCain said awhile ago that opposing it was a mistake so let it go already man

[taratova]

Very nice speech. Mc Cain would actually help the races come together more than Obama. He wants to help all Americans and sees us as equal.

Obama comes off hard with his elistist style and talk down approach to the blacks. I wonder if it is because he was brought up by whites and actually has a distain for weak blacks who are on the system. He may have too much baggage to really help without offense.

[Sladethetermanater87]

Amen

[bind27]

Wow 38:54 I dont know that this can be done...

[rich7085]

Polite applause for his efforts.
