[jamie1421999]

if americans think school is hard, wait till u see wad asia is like

[misterb0071]

Man with a colored man in the white house, all these low lifes will suck our economy dry

[nimamistry6]

thats just racist

[WYJAFAK2]

Wow that was a really good speech. He really connected with the audience because thats exactly what they go through. I'm in my last year of school and after watching this speech, I don't care if I fail all my exams,I'm going to give it my best.

[sbsrjc]

Hey, just to let you guys know, American students tend to perform REAL bad on reading/math tests conducted worldwide.Now, the problem created by this is that the United States will end up having uneducated population who are easily swayed by propaganda and who cannot think for themselves. The United States cannot depend on inventing innovations just by pouring hell lot of money into it. These kids DO HAVE a need to work hard at school.

[K7J7P2]

What the fuck is wrong with Americans? Your President makes a speech about doing well in school and telling your children not to drop out and you get mad about it??? How ignoarant is that!!! How ywould you like it if he didn't give a flying fuck about your kids? If you think this speech was offensive you need to do us a favor and jump off a cliff. He's fricken inspiring your kids and telling them to not give up you fucking idiots!!!

[ireshcha18]

Truly inspirational !

[sgarbi85]

I Write from Italy; I read someone who dislike this speech for some reason.... The americans such as yourselves have to be proud of your president. If in my life i'll listen a speech like this from the italian first minister i'll be the happiest man in the world. Our FM is just a motherfuckersonofabitch , he controls everything and is the richest man in Italy.

So try to be happy about Obama i'd sign now a change to send you Berlusconi to get Obama.

Bye americans and sorry for some mistake

[fornow100000]

hey mr obama. all good in theory. unfortunelty i know people with college education who have very average jobs. They not making more than a high school graduate. The diffrence between most high school graduates & college graduates in this country today is that the last ones are at least 50 K in studetn loan debt. COlllege in amerca today is a BIG RIP OFF!

[MagicalWishingStar]

But, Mr. Obama, I don't believe. Not in you. I need to hear someone I do believe in, thanks. I wouldn't watch this if someone gave me a hundred dollars, "buster."

Holy... Haha. "I hope you are wasshing your hands a lot." Ha.

But I don't want to be a reality TV star or a senator. I want to be a Pokemon Master! (: D)

He's being immodest, calling himself strong. He's being VERY immodest.

Haha. I'm a nasty Republican. ;)

[Corfal]

Closest thing I see to health care reform is, "...wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter." haha

I want to see more videos AFTER the speech, there are so many videos before, criticizing the speech. Does anyone feel like he is promoting a bill on health care, or what to do about the war in Iraq? If you do, point it out to me because that proves I fail at reading and listening.

[minniwhite]

the worst thing about President's Obama's speech is the creepy collectivism implied by sentences like these:

If you quit on school, you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country....

Don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

The story of America [is] about people...who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best....

[minniwhite]

What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?...

I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down. Don't let your family down or your country down.

As the positive quotes in this Los Angeles Times story show, Republicans and self-identified conservatives do not necessarily have a problem with this sort of rhetoric, or with the notion of the president as national dad. But individualists should.

[Jmoney321654987]

at 2:54 hes hes kissing GM's ass

[mosando]

Really how is he kissin GM's ass?

[thorelliott]

I love this man. He encourages us to be brilliant and strong, regardless of our circumstances. If that's not American, I don't know what is. Go Obama!

And for those who believe Limbaugh, Beck, and their cronies: please do your due diligence, and fully research these radio celebrities' claims. They are, more often than not, false.

[Noyru]

Okay republicans what were we supposed to do vote for MCCAIN/PALIN? Get real. Pick a real candidate and maybe you can get your way and quit whining.

[bboyvyrusfullfx]

So someone please tell me what is propaganda about this? the man is telling people to freaking stay in school how is that a bad thing?!

[ToTXfire]

It's not bboy, it's not necessary either. It disturbs a great many people as he seems to be trying to fill a role that isn't what a US president is. He has a job, a very important job representing ALL of us. Some of our opinions don't seem to interest him, he doesn't seem to be concerned with the other side of the coin so far and it's only been 8 months. He IS a President, not a dictator. His office has limitations and obligations to every American he has yet to do a great job at this.

[cartoondoggy]

Awesome. Loved the bit about failure and asking questions.

[rosaliekash]

im sry im a republican okay but i think that this is a great speach every thing was so true and i liked it the things that he talked about with jk rowling and michal jordan was great!!!

[Taurenspoon]

7/10. Good speech.

[alligatie]

By the way, there was nothing about health care reform that some predicted, along with other "threats." Now, you ate it! How does it taste? Does it taste like the bitterness of losers? Keep complaining, cowardly racists.

[snaed27]

Obama is a product .....is he bright ,articulate ,engaging .dynamic ....yes all of the above .....and still he has broken every promise made on the campagn trail ...Obama = Nike ...a product ....

[alligatie]

It is a learning process for everyone. In the beginning, when laying out his plans, he said that we will try and if it doesn't work, we will keep changing it until it works. It has been less than a year since he began, and you want him to magically make everything perfect? Obama is not perfect, but it's easy to see he is trying, and trying hard to make it as good as possible in the current circumstances. And there are just those who complain and black-mouth, without offering reasonable ways.

[ktbow008]

Motherfucker, he hasnt had TIME to break promises.

The magic number is 8.

8mths! You dipshit.

He's been in office for 8 fucking Months!!!!!!!

Not 1 yr, not 1 term, not 8 years like George "I Run Everything I Touch In the Ground (including this country)" W. Bush....

8 mths.

Shut your face.

[myworldismusic78]

He's amazing and im beyond happy I was lucky enough to live during his time. I cant wait to tell my kids that I lived during the presidency of the first black president and also be able to say how well he did. Im only 15 and i can already tell he will change my life for the better.

[alligatie]

I'll tell you all why some schools and parents didn't want their kids to watch this. Because those who hate Obama are afraid the kids will see for themselves what a great man he is; that he wants the best for the country. The conservatives are afraid that Obama will gain more supporters, they are afraid of the changes the next generation will bring. That's what conservatives are about, aren't they: about keeping things the old way.

[kornrulez97]

good comment. i thought it should have had more thumbs up

[hayleywuzhere]

People seriously need to stop making fun of this speech, and crtisizing it. What's to critisize or make fun of anyways? He's the only president that has ever cared enough about our education, and nothing he said was wrong. There are too many kids dropping out of school, and it needs to stop. School is important, and I think that speech was a pretty big push to be succesful. I know it was for me.

[lyrics76productions]

I think its great to have a President who cares enough and thought the children of America were important enough to be spoken to directly. A speech just for YOU! When I was in school it was all about keeping up and knowing what the President was doing. Though some may not agree with him speaking to you at all he didn't say anything incorrect. Do what you can now for yourselves and who knows what success are in store for you. I wish nothing but love to all of America's children!

[brandyisdope]

I live in a country republican town and no school was aloud to watch it.

[breadski]

Exactly land I know a Farming family without guns, and they're always getting robbed by bandits, or getting attacked by rabid cows, giant dust balls and what have you... shit, one time we they were gonna bring lasse to the old well, but they didnt even have a gun to put her down... its a rough life for a farmer without a gun...

...Haha seriosuly though, if there are predators like wolves that is a reason to have a gun on a farm. There's better, more modern ways of putting animals down though.

[rlaehddls124]

landroth so.. r u gonna shoot the president with that gun? is that what u saying?

[rlaehddls124]

kk if u live in farm, u will need a gun? DO u have brain? that's y u guys are stil riding ponies. Let me say this. If u live in New york, walkin down the street at night I think u need more than a gun, but people don't. what do u think?

[landroth]

if you try to live on a farm w/o a gun , it is like trying to build a house without a tape measure, sooner or later you WILL need it. thank you all for listening.

[3035643733]

Look, why doesn't he make a speech to the teachers, not us. More than half the teachers in the U.S. suck anal balls. They are mean, abusive, and cruel. We aren't the reason some guys drop out.

[landroth]

i am sorry to all if i am out of line here, but this is what i think. i am registered as a republican, but do not always agree with them. my father had a stroke when i was sixteen, so i had to drop not only school, but my rodeo career, (which i was in line for a scholership) also. i did this so that i could work my families farm. i am now married with three children, and i DO agree with obama about schooling, but not with the gun issues.

[SarahB726]

People who didn't want their children to see this are insane. They obviously do not care about their children if they don't want them to be encouraged. I think the parents who are complaining are just afraid or already know that they can not do their part. That was an inspirational speech. He was honest and didnt sugar-coat it. Every child should work hard, do their best, stay in school, study, and do their homework.

[Raptowens]

my school didn't let us listen to it.

[VoiceOfADreamer]

This is a great speech, a speech I would show if I was a principle, a speech I would show my kids and kids of those I care about. So stop complaining, there is nothing wrong with this speech..

[virgomuch]

fuckn haters, stop trying to make such a negative input on obama

u lazy stupid cunts! this speech is wonderful,

we cant depend on obama for our future all 100% because 10 years from now its going to be a new generation that is [us] we have to make a change. we all need to make America a better place, not just obama ALL OF US so most ppl should really stop talking shit and pitch in to make this world a better place

[Shadowslamer]

Good speach, did everyone listen to this in school? Finding someone that you trust is true.

[Shadowslamer]

Ya, what was the big deal with this speach? It seems like it was good. Why the big deal?

[paulvalenta90]

I think if i had someone tell me this in high school i would've cared about highschool.

[lilshortyviscoolcand]

Wow people on the comments, you guys KNOW that Obama's speech was awesome. Don't hate!

[neato0z]

@ iphonebonanza

What's the difference between a "libral" liar and a conservative liar?

[iphonebonanza]

It is no true, listen to the end, it says god bless america, HES a libral!!!

LIAR

[iphonebonanza]

Obamas A LIAR LIAR LIAR

JOE WILSON!!!!!!!!! Rocks

[cwoodslinger]

Although I didn't vote for him, and dislike him greatly, President Obama did make a good speech. The kids will remember it, and hopefully inspire them to do better.

[BlitzemV2]

Ok maybe im looking at the wrong video but i thought it was a good speech. I dont know why pepole are complaining.

[hellokittynv]

Me too. What was the uproar about?!

[kikababygirl]

great speech...i wish my country had a president like this! He knows how to inspire everyone to be and do better!

[1389Marie]

God Bless Barack Obama.

[vosg100]

You US citizens are very lucky to have such a great president.

[scapet8659]

THATS ALL TRUE

[SDTricker]

I don't like him as a president, but this was a good speech. Good message to the kids.

[robs70986987]

why did some parents not want there kids to see this

[wally2714]

Racism, Most of the parents that didn't want their kids to see this are from the deep south, but the coastal cities and university areas they didn't mind if their kids saw this.

[Davidjc1989]

Shows how much you know Wally. I'm from Utah (far from the deep south racists you claim dislike obama) and strongly dislike the policies of our current president. Anyone who looks at Obama's track record at how he spends our money or how he has gone back on ALL of his promises during his campaign has reason to dislike him. You're not a racist if you disagree with someone, even if he is black.

[drummer1000words]

I thought it was ironic that the day befor I watched this speech, my world civilizations professor lectured about the Herappans, who futhered academics and fell because they didn't have people to do manuel labor and uneducated people.

[smcruz923]

The government does not want anyone to grow up and find the cure for cancer, they've made it illegal, ask Rick Simpson. They just want you to be good little sheep, follow the program and sign the contract of selling yourself to the bank.

[sixorion]

fools...people in this country are not worried about helping eachother...they're just looking forward to the next paycheck..thats all. accept it or go kill yourself.

[mamushi72sai5575]

nah, I think I will not have a job and watch Japanese cartoons instead. he forgot to mention the people who have absolutely nothing to live for.

[crusader636]

Does people in the early grades understand this? or does the teacher explains to them? lol XD

[weezerpownsyou]

this is bullshit i need need him telling me the same shit my parents tell me? you got your own kids jackass.

[thefanofthewho]

My only complaint is that he compared Twitter to Google.

[koadoa1]

Hey, gettinglucky, the US doesn't have the best healthcare system, according to the WHO, Cuba is better than us in patient care, why don't you check your facts before building your altar to boss limbaugh.

[Joker3797]

Does Cuba have 300 million people? No it has 11 million, so I think it would be easier to treat everyone with high quality care with 1/30 the population of the US.

[eotto2001]

This really is radical. He preaching middle class values.

[PS3rockz94]

100 years later people will be talking about our accomplishments!!

we need more accomplishments!!

lets get serious people:D!

[veblice]

Hey day6guitarist.....got any proof?

[rgtfaregaerg]

hi people

[VampireErin]

OBAMA!

[day6guitarist]

You know, In the beginning he talks about that little boy who has fought brain cancer since he was three. If we had that heath plan that Obama wants, I bet that boy would be dead right now. He'd be waiting his turn to get treated along with all of the other deathly ill people. Or who knows, since he's so young and has a serious, terminal disease, they might just say there's more important treatable illnesses to deal with and let him die.

[WhoMattersAnyway]

I won't even point out why this comment is ignorant, simply because you are entitled to your opinion, be it informed or well-based or not.

[purpanic]

Cool Speach!! I have no idea why people claim. Everything was 100% correct without any indoctrination. The essence "learn and be the future & country" is perfect. You can be proud of you current president! Br, from Germany, Oliver Möller (Aachen)

[BroadcastDonnie]

I don't fully agree with all of his goals and philosophies, yet i don't agree with the republican agenda either. I do however, think that Obama is a great man and i hope that kids listen to what he has to say.

[drummer62able]

I'm in middle school, and I hear the same thing every year just like Redsy. But I think that was the best someone's put it to me. It was a great speech. And really I think politics is you go for the person you dislike the least. Except Obama reaches out to people and I appreciate his words and attitudes towards life in general.

[WhoMattersAnyway]

Good for you! :) I'm a Senior in high school, and I'm just glad that anyone younger than me is paying attention...sometimes you've got to wonder. XD

[redsy2504]

and it's really urking me that you said if i were to ask my friends and classmates about their problems or whatever.. my friends come to me and ask me how i do it. you'd be surprised how mature some teenagers can be even though there will always be the immature ones.

[abcdtoothdr]

Redsy-I don't know why you're irked.I wasn't criticizing you.I mentioned people and problems because you posted"I've struggled more than him. He thinks he's had a tough life?"

[superloveyou11]

by the way, my comments were directed to redsy2504's first two comments.

[redsy2504]

yeah, okay, it was a good speach even though i don't like him but i think it was just a waste of time.

[redsy2504]

abc-- say what you want. i'm probably one of the most responsible fifteen year olds youll ever meet. everyone has their problems of course but, i know i have ones too. i don't think its appropriate for me to state them.. and i'm not talking about like OMG my boyfriend just broke up with me. what obama said was what you hear every school year.. from parents or teachers. even if you don't have the best parents you always hear it from teachers.

[biggy887766]

I'm tired of republicans stupid double standards, you yell at a town hall meeting and its called voicing your opinion. Democrat yells at a meeting and guess what you get kicked out of the meeting. In case you don't remember it was the republicans that put this country where its at...it's time for a democrat to come clean up the mess you left behind.

[MizzTrinity78]

biggy887766 you just said it all, its the truth democrats are always having to clean up the messes that republicans leave behind and thats why everyone hates us, and the stupid republicans will never be happy with anything becasue they are fuckin miserable people!!!!!!

[Onishax]

Fool, France has number one health care system

[honvetops]

m/43 US Navy vet, Conservative and a Republican.. does not like Obama or his wicked cabinet or progressive advisers and his spending is killing us ! Great Speech Mr. President , I know it was not your original intent... but nice job Mr. President

[dmwinsd]

When I was in school, 50 years ago, if the President had offered to talk to the schoolkids it would have been highly anticipated and seen as positive. The few wackos who saw some Orwellian scheme afoot would have had no way to be heard. The Internet, Twitter etc. have certainly changed that. It's good that people have a way to make their views known, but the new communication technologies appear to give these folks more credibility by far than they deserve.

[GeneralY7]

I find it rather funny that his trying to appeal to school children's sense of patriotism. I think its sad that the only time people care about patriotism and their own nation, is when there is a crisis!

[abcdtoothdr]

There is nothing wrong with this speech. The people who have a problem with it are either generally in their lives lazy parasites, racist and/or disrespectful of authority figures. He's doing a service by talking to our children-the future. He only said what a responsible parent would say to their child. Good for Pres Obama.

[ModernOlive]

............or there stuck up , mentally ill republicans

[superloveyou11]

Just do America a favor and keep believing what you do, because when you get a job, we'll need people like you to ask us "if we want fries with that?" when we go eat fast food!! ...and oh yeah, during your little sad life, how many middle class people do you know that have become the Pesident of the greatest country in the world? ...by a landslide victory at that!!

[redsy2504]

Go ahead and make some comments. I'm over everyone liking Obama and thinking he is the best. He's far from it. I've struggled more than him. He thinks he's had a tough life? How can he say that he has struggled as a middle class man? Him and his wife have been making decent amounts of money. Obama doesn't know what it's like to be a true middle-class person but, he can sit there and try and act like he knows what it's like to be in that persons' shoes? Yeah, funny. Obama is beyond stupid.

[superloveyou11]

It's dumb, ignorant people like you that don't get the message, you wouldn't be mad if someone you look up to told you the same thing, so why are you hating on what he said so much? maybe it's because your only 15 and your brain hasn't developed enough to realize what he's talking about, or maybe you just can't get that white hood off your big head

[Socketassault]

Or maybe he doesn't have your opinion.

[redsy2504]

This speech was a waste of time. He is preaching the same thing that teachers and parents preach. One of my teachers even said that. I did not hear of any teachers playing the speech in their classroom. Obama is rediculous. I don't care if anyone wants to prove me wrong about this speech but I am fifteen, and I think that this is a bunch of crap. There really aren't many words to say besides the fact that I dislike Obama. If I get one bad grade will I let the country down? No, you're rediculous.

[abcdtoothdr]

Redsy-He did not say if you get a bad grade you will let the country down-He is just asking children to sincerely try to do their best-you are the future of the world-you may make mistakes but you will learn how to do whatever you're doing correctly eventually because you'll know which mistakes to avoid. (cont'd)

[abcdtoothdr]

Listen to 3:34 on- You and your teacher are right.He said what all responsible, mature parents and teachers tell children. He preached good principles/rules for a successful life.(cont'd)

[abcdtoothdr]

Everyone has their own problems- your problems are enormous to you-and I'm sure they are-but I'm certain if you ask your fellow classmates/friends that you will find a lot of people with much bigger problems than you.-and I'm sure you'd rather not have their problem when you compare it to yours.(cont'd)

[abcdtoothdr]

I think the President asked the kids to step up and do their part because you guys are still at a moldable stage in your life-he can help you stay on track. He may talk to the irresponsible,immature adults of this country one of these days- but as you can imagine, it's going to be a MUCH harder job to get adult people that are miserably lost in life back on the right track.

[superloveyou11]

redsy2504, it doesn't matter if you like Obama or not, his MAIN POINT was that a good education can get you far more ahead in life regardless if your living a tough life or not.

[KregJonesCrew]

obama said we be not needed edjamacation to becam dicktator :D

[Socketassault]

Maybe he should have also addressed the fact that a lot of teachers are complete jerks and misunderstanding of their students.

And, a lot of kids who get bad grades, do try, but they're just good at other stuff, that school places no value on.

[xliver4]

i suppose you have little education due to the horrible punctuation. He is probably talking to people like you...

[Socketassault]

You know, if you're going to flame people about their English, you should make sure yours is perfect. Which it isn't.

Furthermore, my punctuation is not horrible. The only comma that I think should not be there in my previous post is the one after "stuff."

I do have an education, or I'm getting one...depending on how you look at it.

I'm a junior and I'm taking community college classes to supplement high school. I don't know who you are, but I really doubt you did that in high school.

[xliver4]

Actually i am, and i know, when to use commas, and this is exactly, how you typed, your first sentence.

What could i have done to in prove my sentence? Capitalize I and make the sentence compound.

Teachers being a jerk isn't an excuse to do bad.

[8AshleyBabydoll8]

its... IMPROVE lol

[xliver4]

my bad. i had a typo the first time i typed it and firefox changed it to that.

[Makingnewnamesisdumb]

More like;

"A teacher's classroom manner does not provide an excuse for performing poorly in school."

Now THAT is a sentence!

[Socketassault]

That wasn't how I typed my sentence. I think the comma after "English" shouldn't have been there...maybe...

If I don't know, I put one. It usually makes sentences easier to read if they have commas.

Are you still in school? Or are you too old to remember it? Maybe you were just one of the really smart kids who did well in school, got good grades, the works. Unfortunately, everyone's different, and bad teachers make a class harder: setting the bar higher for someone to get an "A."

[KwlKat9685409]

This is something that every child needs to know, I'm 14 years old and I am homeschooled. My mom made me get off of my games and such to watch this, and I'm glad she did. This is what kids need to hear, that Barack will always believe in us. And I feel that the school system, and the parents of these kids need to shut up and thank Barack for taking the time to even do this!

[AllyGurl14]

Great, great speech, i loved it! I didn't get to watch it yesterday, i missed it, but thank you for uploading :D Well, I don't see anything wrong with letting the children and teens watch this at school, it could possibly inspire them and change lives! If parents are not giving their children inspiration, who will? At least he's doing something about it!! :)

I'm sooo proud to be American!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE AMERICANS!!!

[ToTXfire]

I'm offended that he feels the need to remind kids to stay in school and do well. This is every parents obligation to their children! Absolutely ridiculous that he should take the parents out of the equation. This speech should have been directed at parents in this country, not the kids. They are in fact children, under a great deal of stress already due to the amounts of information they process these days in addition to the fact that they are growing, developing into adults.

[hilarykd]

you're absolutely right. parents should be doing this. sadly, many of them don't. it's wonderful that kids with no fathers or no mothers telling them to be something have a father figure (however distant) who will believe in them.

[ToTXfire]

Maybe a speech to the adults about moral responsibility and it's effects on the world as whole would have been more in line. Then there may not be so many children without support from family for him to address.

[Socketassault]

Agree. Not that I know how school was 50 years ago, but I think school has gotten more demanding.

[ToTXfire]

I saw 2nd grade homework that was the equivelant of Freshman homework back in '88. Basic algebra, in the 2nd grade! And they all had to do it, not just the smart ones. These same kids parents didn't know enough to regularly bathe their children, or have them change clothes. The teachers stock clothing for the extremely nasty ones..... out of their own pocket by the way!

[xliver4]

ok let me start off by telling you that im a conservative. ToTXfire, you are part of the groups of dumb asses ruining the country. His speech was great because it explained the importance of school in our lives. How the fuck is he taking parents out of the equation? He is simply backing it up. You have no excuse to drop out or fail. shut the fuck up because you dont know what the fuck your talking about.

[ToTXfire]

If you're a conservative your views are misleading. We don't need Barack Hussein Obama to tell our kids that they need to do well in school if we haven't failed them ourselves. How much did his speech cost I wonder? How many books computers etc could he have bought for schools? I don't need the government to tell me to go to work. I don't want any handouts/aid either. I'd just as soon see Obama and his big expensive government plans go away. I take care of me and mine not the government.

[Swgivov]

I don't like Obama or his policies but I like this speech. I think this should happen every year with any president and IT DOESN'T MATTER IF A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN. As long as no policies are talk about. Only to tell kids you study hard and work hard.

[radiokandeeman]

Digga321 WITH ALL DUE RESPECT HE IS SIMPLY TELLING KIDS TO STAY IN SCHOOL AND DO WELL WHAT WERE U EXPECTING HE IS ADRESSING KIDS/CHILDREN HOW MUCH DEPTH DO U WANT?!?!?!

[GuitarGrizz]

yeah jesus, everybody getting all worked up about this when he is telling kids to believe in themselves, and work hard for themselves, this is a person trying to care personally for every kid out there (impossible) but at least he is taking a stab at it, it is a personal message and every conservative that got worked up about it is out of their minds

[zuluking59]

How long...not longer I hope ... Can blue dog & confederate red give up on CIVILWAR EVIL.

[sesshomarufan246]

wow such a good speech

i cant see how that is wrong or anything or why parents wouldnt want their kids to be told what they themselves tell them everyday

[PeaSoup174]

he said nothing else besides telling children to work hard and succeed. why is everyone so fired up about brainwashing...

[Digga321]

What about when your country has given up on you & when i say country i mean teachers & parents & "friends"... your community. How cant we makes anyone proud when there is it seems no one is intrested in helping us. Mr. President its not as easy or hard as you claim. Its harder in the inner city streets,when people you know die every winter, spring summer and fall, I mean what about the student that dont live to see a senior year...where is the hope in that?

thats the most pessimistic thing i have heard all day

[Digga321]

i just sayin what needs to be notified. Its not about being pessimistic...i mean its was a very good speech but i feel it was also depthless.

[HeidiWaukechon]

Thank you so much for posting this. My kids didn't get to see it in school so I was glad we found it here.

[muikologist]

God Bless Obama....God Bless America...America, BLESS GOD!!

[PGY2J]

All the conservatives take everything out of context and try to scare us, so next time read the facts. This speech is inspiring, and has nothing to do with politics. He just says education is important, so all the conservatives can kiss our AMERICAN ASS.

[boriqua14pr]

hell yeah

[bigshafe]

It was a good message, I just wish he took his own advice of studying history like the fall of Rome or the Great Depression

[ToTXfire]

None of his comments on history were very specifically accurate. They were in fact quite nationalist in nature, something the world just adores the US for.

[tragopan77]

wow you cried? it was inspiring, but not that good....

[endingparalysis]

I cried. he is so inspiring, exactly what this country needs.

[roadhuntingfreak]

Um tell them something they don't know... remember the subject... EDUCATION!

[ktbow008]

keep on throwing that crap against the wall... it'll never stick! Just keeps sliding off, and sliding off and proves how full of IT you extremists are.

friggin' treasonist

[tragopan77]

way to bag on peoples opinions

[ktbow008]

If you dont think the President wasnt speaking on education, your just a dumbass. Your pulling shit out of your ass, and throwing it. PERIOD.

I just dont get it. America has taken it up the ass for 8 yrs, 8 FUCKIN YEARS! This Harvard law grad, clearly a badass, comes in to clean the shit off the walls, and you guys are fighting him tooth and nail?

He's been here for 8 MTHS! And its not terrorists or foreigners throwing shoes, its our OWN people.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ktbow008]

Its just a shame that these treasonist conservatives try so hard to undermind and obstruct The President's care and effort and heart. He's such an obvious class act, and tries so hard to nurture and love America. He's so thorough and focused. Where are the moderate conservatives? Because I know all cons. arent like the ones that get the spot light. Speak up so we can shed the old, "dead skin" and move forward.

[ktbow008]

undermine

Education is important.  (haha)

[ToTXfire]

I doubt most liberals have consdered what this caring and loving Presidents plans are actually going to cost future generations. His wonderful plans come out of our pockets not his. His retirement is locked in a very very comfortable fashion, yours and mine are not no matter what your broker says.

[ktbow008]

You can thank Mr. Bush for the shit Obama stepped in when he took office.

What was he supposed to do? The economy was tanking. I guess we're supposed let America burn to the ground?

You dont like what has gone on in the first 8mths (8mths!), thank the unaccountable spending of the last decade.

God, how easily we forget. Just shows that you cons dont give a shit about getting shit done, you just hate a liberal pres.

TREASONOUS!

How do you fight ur on quarterback?

[cubuffs42]

Not all conservatives...coming from a Republican I love Obama's kindness and actions. How can you tell he is sincere? I don't see him looking down at a teleprompter, it seems as though he memorized this or it has always been in the back of his mind, one of the two. God bless America and God bless our President!

[tragopan77]

He has several teleprompters besides the one in front of him. And hes memorized it down to the individual head turns. Its a science.

[ktbow008]

I'm glad we finally got a president that at least knows that science. Hell, science in general! He's a badass cause he's smarter than pretty much everyone I know.

Bush?(yea, I said the "B" word- I know you hate that. NO defense for that...NONE!)

My nephew's smarter than that guy, and he's 5.

[ToTXfire]

I will remind you that the Dems "boo'd" GW Bush at both of his State of the Union addresses. That the Dems had control of 2/3 of the Federal Gov't while Bush was in office. And that we are still under the same regimes control, you want fresh and new vote the Dems out of 1/2 of the government. Then we'll see change, then maybe the people and not our representatives and their personal opinions will have a say in what happens in this country. Me = treasonist, you = National Socialist(Nazi).

[ktbow008]

My god I could shread you to pieces-

not even worth the time.

SECEDE already! Youve been left behind.

[ToTXfire]

I'm afraid that Barack feels the same way. Sad days to be a conservative, and I'm not an extremist at all. Earn what you keep and take care of your own. Help your neighbor out, teach him to fish don't give him one or he'll never learn. I see all together too many liberal inspired bills handing out fish in case they missed someone who hasn't eaten. Kind of takes away the incentive to feed/support themsleves now doesn't it.

[ktbow008]

Thats the beautiful thing about this life, we have a choice to see what we want to see.

Well, the past decade IVE SEEN fatass Wall Street CEOs, politicians/oil whores/corporations(you know like Halliburton, Banks, AIG,etc) stealing money from the everyday hardworking America. THATS WHAT IVE SEEN. And that aint even the half.

You think the money from an afterschool program or free lunches, or even welfare can hold a candle to that kind of money?!

SECEDE already pleeeeeease!

please?

[ToTXfire]

When has Obama said anything about business corruption beyond limiting their bonus? He bailed out Chrysler and GM after they failed, isn't that incentive to keep going? CEO's and unions alike need to realize they hold alot of peoples livelihood in their hands. Secession is not a viable answer, being able to voice my opinion is my right. Confronting a radical liberal is my choice, so here I am calling you out. Explain how your savior is going to save the world.

[ktbow008]

Are you serious?! I cant stand to talk to folks like you, cause your in your own world. You hear and see what you wanna see. Everybody around you probably looks just like you. Explain not bailing out these companies to cities that totally depend on that industry (ie Detroit)? You really wanna see some chaos go down? The situation America's in isnt as simple as, give a dog a bone when it does something good.

Stop impeding the adminstration trying to fix Bush's fuck ups man! Let the man work!

[ktbow008]

Look man, I respect the diversity of the United States of America, and youre POV is definitely a part of that. But I'm ready to look toward the future. I'm done with looking backwards, and listening to cons. and their speculations, and "what if...?" scary scenarios. I'm just ready to get things done.

I hate to act like a republican, and separate myself from you and ignore you, but I'm done trying to persuade.

You can either ride, or get left behind,

but we're moving forward.

[ToTXfire]

How specifically are we moving forward? Bigger government with even fewer civil rights. This health bill gives the Federal governmeent access to your bank account directly. Think they'll wait until you can afford to pay your Dr. bill? Why did he raise taxes on big business when we need to make it more appealing for businesses to operate in the US. Put people to work not on government aid. Then regulate business to make sure Americans get a fair deal, not more than they need but enough.

[ToTXfire]

Well poo on me for being a free thinker, I'm not a member of the crowd that lets someone else do their thinking. If by everyone around me looks like me means our hands are dirty and backs are bent when we are done with WORK then yeah, we do look alike even the PROUD way we hold our heads up for not needing a big government to take care of our basic needs. Mistakes were made by Detroit, they've been suffering for years. Automated assembly did alot of that. I will not step aside, it's my right.

[stinkweed007]

Go-Bama!!

[tragopan77]

No-Bama!!
