Barack Obama in Cedar Rapids

[213momanddad]

I go here! OBAMA WAS AT MY SCHOOL.... NO WAY!

THAT IS MY STINKING GYM.... HOLY CRAP

I RAN THE MILE IN THE SAME ROOM THAT OBAMA WAS IN

nnnoooooo WAY!

Sweet!

[phah]

obama is really the best candidate amongst all the other contenders in both parties. He is so inspirational and the only one that could salvege American reputation abroad and unite Americans within.

[ZTREX11]

He said he would make the "White House" into the "People's House"

[YGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYG]

At least we can comment on his videos. I'm not from the United States and therefore won't be voting, but all the best to everyone! I have no preference.

[broadwaycutie13]

that is my teacher at 1:07. shes so frickin amazing!!! i love that woman!

[LetFreedomRlng]

Hillary has taken more money from lobbyist than any other candidate both republican and democrat. She's the worst candidate. I hope democrats vote for Obama.  He's a candidate I'd consider voting for.

[mylakers34]

look at those poor kids proped up behind him...

[SeekTruth77]

I pray Obama shocks the world! The pundits, and the Republican controlled media have all but ordanded Hillary but God willing the truth will win out and come through!! Even though they are pulling dirty tricks I pray the American people open their eyes and see what a great president we would have!

[teeftaller7]

OBAMA IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!

[MelissaPissaDissa]

Obama is no sellout. He took a job as a community organizer Southside for 14Gs a year out of Harvard when he could have had any 6figure corp. postition. I'm voting for him because he's more about change and people than big money. He's the real deal. He's a leader and he leads by example not fancy words.

[londoner77]

definitly will get my vote. and i urge any one to trust and help him win the elections and heal the scares and scandal that the bustard bush caused.

[kbuggy12]

Obama 08!

[eterpe0TAC]

there are plenty of ppl runnin for president as articulate as this guy, he does not have a strong enough stance on environmental protection, dont give him a chance

[deepbluehawaii]

Hope, not fear! Obama 08, what a refreshing change to have a competent articulate man whos heart is with is.

[SOSnUSA]

Obama = Sell out.

Don't trust the puppet!

[otisplus1]

i believe that if you are computer literate, then you should be able to do your own research rather than swallow whole a whole lot of spin. especially midwestcharm who gets his info from Faux. How about reading a speech in its original context buddy huh!. chew first.

[22cmonkey22]

Folks, were doomed... Start writing your wills...

[musicfan99999]

obama is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about the oil companies etc. having their way in washington. the politicians aren't working for US, they're working for corporations, and that goes all the way up to bush & cheney.

[Psulionae]

I love you Barack!!! You're a great man. Hopefully you'll turn people's biases around. You are already showing people with silly minds how wrong it is to divide this country between democrats and republicans and why it's damaging to just throw out opinions just to get a reaction like a lot of your haters on youtube. He's our only hope to restore some type of decency back into our lives as humans. We have "common interests" and as soon as people start realizing that the better off we'll all be!

[porcupine07]

Obama is the exact opposite of what we need. The people of Illinois should actually be ashamed to have unleashed this nonsense babbling, would-be Pakistan-invader, piece of crap into the Senate at all. Barack Obama is nothing more than a "token black guy"

[llebanonnn]

How is he babbling? He was straight forward and clear. You're probably just an ignorant 18 year old who follows what ever his parents says or what other republicans say.

[porcupine07]

He is babbling when he promises free services to people all the time, talks about invading pakistan, talks about "democracy" (we are a republic) talks about amnesty, talks about any of his socialist ideas.

[porcupine07]

and my friend, it's kind of funny that you say theat I "must be an ignorant 18 year old" when you yourself claim to be 18 on your YouTube profile, actually I am almost twice your age, and I am NOT against you. I am against socialist leaders who want to take from those who have more to give to those who have less instead of helping the poor get ahead.

[madinchtslave101]

they clearly want them to have that right so they'll get their votes. the same way the republicans suppressed minorities into not voting at all. either way it's clear that neither care about high voter turnout ratings

[daliOtter]

It was your republicans that wanted to give them amnesty

[ddnn2000]

Yea, there was some repubicans. But there was kenny reid, clinton and obama, who vote for the reform to have a free pass for these illegal. But it was some repubicans put stop to that reform. Now these dam democrats want to give our tax money to these illegals.

[llebanonnn]

Is all you have to say is that they Democrats want to give the tax monies back to immigrants? You've said it twice and you're wrong each time.

[ddnn2000]

Because, it was obama clintion, kenndy and reid. Who was for the Amnesty. But we Americans call congress to stop this bill. There was 2 republicans who did not want this bill and help to kill this bill.

[ddnn2000]

Another thing about democrats, when they are tring voting laws in. They don't tell the people the whole truth , whats in the law.

[slatnetwork]

Happy birthday, Barack.

[JackShepard2008]

Jack Shepard for President on you tube; if you are real 100% need really wish for an outsider like General Eisenhower!!!! we need peace real bad and no politician has any idea what to do or what it's all about- Dr. Jack Shepard for <President

[lumpyspun]

werebear1, please check your facts before you post comments. Your comment below saying Obama supports nuking Pakistan and Afghanistan is incorrect. See Obama's quote from this article "Clinton Demurs On Obama's Nuclear Stance" in the Wash Post by Anne E. Kornblut:

"I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance" in Afghanistan or Pakistan, Obama said. He then added that he would not use such weapons in situations "involving civilians."

[JerTheAraluan]

Teddy Roosevelt (minus his foreign policy) was the second, and perhaps last, great Republican president (Lincoln of course being the other one). I'm glad Obama "intends to be that kind of president". GO OBAMA!

[jochemjoshua]

Barack Hussein Osama for President!

[shaire99]

Aaaaahhhaaaa, oh golly that's funny dude, did you think of that all by your lonesome? Oh so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sac93822]

am i the only middle school student who knows and cares what he is talking about

[calvinball1]

stopping globalizm is easy, just destroy every computer on the planet and keep all countries from talking to each other, ever. simple. then just war over the 95% of the countries teritories that are now empty because they died off without trade. FYI, the USA is in the doomed camp, unless you think we can feed ourselves with law degrees and movie contracts.

[bootme21]

Obama, plz explain being part of CFR plz... this is the true problem. Globalism.

[mrsfrobes]

Did no one see the problem with putting a bunch of fidgety and/or sleeping kids behind him? lol!

Go Obama!

[snarkwaupaca]

Every time I see Obama talk I feel the soul of the Democratic party is alive. Every time I see Hillary talk I see the party machine at work. If the polls are right and 46 percent of Americans will NEVER vote for Hillary she cannot become president and we will have to live another 4 years with a neocon in office.

[paintncanvas]

The Barack Obama Blues:

I lost the south Florida vote with that Castro thing,

I lost the mom vote with that kindergarten thing,

I lost the American East Indian vote with that Pakistan thing,

Seem like I don't know what I'm do-o-o-ing,

Lord have mercy,...I got them Barack Obama blues.

[midwestcharm]

I hope he doesn't talk to them about sex education at that school.

[MarkieBee007]

yeah, let the parents keep the issue away from them and the problem with pedophiles will just stay under wraps...that's the ticket Midwest...nice thinking. Obama was encouraging age-appropriate discussions to grade schoolers about incorrect not full-on "insert penis here" talks. Turn off FAUX News and read his transcript

[midwestcharm]

To be honest, if he keeps voting to fund the war, we'll be broke or so hated in the world that it won't matter. Also, I'm confused, talk to enemies first and then bomb em or bomb em then talk to em?

[MarkieBee007]

why so fixated on bombing them? He never said what the military plan would be. It's certainly not an invasion. It would likely be special forces. And not talking to our enemies sure has worked for Bush huh?...like getting to sit down and speak with a guy like Bush, who can't get a coherent sentence out anyway, is some kind of reward...riiiggghhhttt. We need a third prty. Call it the Common Sense Party. Obama would win that party's nomination easily.

[cypherphage]

He didn't vote for the last one.

[midwestcharm]

I'm just concerned that he may alter his actions depending on image, we don't need 4 more years of that. Will he appoint the best? Or will he appoint based on friendships?

[cypherphage]

I don't know Obama, I have never met him. I can only hear his message, and in this race he alone has offered hope and change and a new perspective. He alone offer something new, and while a vote for him is a gamble, I would rather bet on hope than fix the odds against it.

[Silents30]

lol the kids in the background is allways funny

[llIIIIIllIII]

If you subscribe to someone, then unsubscribe, subscribe again (their count won't increase), unsubscribe again (their count WILL decrease), you can make that person's subscriber count go down. You can repeat indefinitely until 0....use wisely, hehe

[dudewithcomedy1]

Pakistan should be able to nuke terrorists in america who publically endorse nuking other nations without any consent, and without any disregard for legal rights, human rights, and ethical right. obama is one crazy inexperienced fool, and he's proven that with his recent uneducated statements on handling the military and ridiculous murderous foreign policy.

[IrishAmericnsForObma]

Don't be silly. Obama said HE WOULD NOT USE NUKE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

Hillary said it was unpresidential for Obama to say nukes were not on the table. Hillary is also calling Ronald Reagan careless and unpresidential for saying "A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought".

[sabot96]

It is nice to see you starting to take on the role of the leader that you will be. Teddy when he was president of the board of New York City Police Commissioners would walk police officers beats at night to make sure they were following his leadership. I can only hope for that level of dedication from a leader today.

[MunichBMW]

Problem is, how do we know that it's the citizens who vote for the US president? After all, people say Al Gore was the one who actually won the election and stuff.

[secularoptimist]

the citizens don't actually directly vote for the president. we effectively elect electors, the electoral college (i think). i don't understand how it works, and maybe i never will, but the popular vote isn't the only determining factor.

[mandoelpaso]

the sad part is that he cant find ways to make up his own quotes and has to use past leaders quotes so people can understand "what he is trying to mean", todays politicians aren't creative enough to be alchemist of words,no more giving ideas to this candidate

[lwgreendog18]

um anyone seen who class is in jail?

[turbobrat89]

If we don't get serious about our voting...we're doomed..another hurricane and the poor people like me are doomed!

[dtek40k]

i highly doubt anyone would be as bad as bush. why does he need to tell you what problems we have? don't you already know?

[secularoptimist]

by stating the problems, he simultaneously focuses your concern on them while making a campaign promise to address those concerns. he narrows the discussion to a few key points, or issues, then addresses them with wit and charisma to instill the passion to vote.

[FunkyMozart]

His way of speech reminds me of Malcolm X

just great!

[JessicaSue]

What cute little supporters in the backround!

[labohemianartist]

obammaaaaaa

[5cannerd]

He is the Trojan horse. Whatch out.

[Badergader]

GO8bama

[meganjo63]

amen to obama!!!!!!

[alyceclover]

Sad, it did not hold my attention either. I like his "America we can do better than that" rousing speeches better. I attended "Roosevelt Junior High School" and can recall those days daydreaming through listening to teachers.

[pebuje]

obama obama obama obama

[dimsum411]

that kid is so bored, haha, he yawns during the applause at 3:21

[mkrug4]

dude, i was so there! and he shook my hand! it was da bomb!

[JessicaSue]

Really?! Sweet! What was he like in person?

[mkrug4]

well, he just had time to say "hi, thanks for comming" but definitley took awhile to sink in!

[Trizzav18]

gooooo obama

[WinkyMcGee]

[WinkyMcGee]

[mkrug4]

[hellopeacegoodbyewar]
