I tell people that I believe that you have a god given skill to disagree with people without offending them. You can change the USA and change the world without making them feel wrong, and that my friend I believe is your calling. You can disagree with a person without loosing their friendship. I want to help you accomplish your mission. Change the world from the bottom up. As you say, let us lead the world on a straight path on the crooked roads of life. Steve O'Bryan
I have never been interested in voting...I've always thought, my vote will never count because of al the broken promises. This is different. He gives me hope, like so many other Americans.
It's hard not to be inspired if not affected by all the hope espoused and engendered by Barack Obama. This video is great and gives me chills every time.
I volunteer for our local Obama office and this video really inspires me to keep going! I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. Truly inspiring!! Obama '08
The guy who said "I don't want a nation for me, I want a nation for every body" must be the typical example of the good american. Why isn't everybody like him? To all you good americans out there, keep going for change!
hey...is there any way i can download this video so I can put it on a CD. I want to show my class this and I don't know how to do. I am a super-active Intern for the Obama campaign and I have changed about 30% of my school to vote for Obama and I feel a difference. Even though I can't vote yet, I want to make a difference. ANY DIFFERENCE IS A GOOD DIFFERENCE.
I speak for countless youth, Americans, Virginians, and Virginia Tech Hokies: YES. WE. CAN. Change for a better world is coming and it starts with YOUR vote.
And I speak for countless North Carolinians, and High School Students: YES WE CAN! I have so much fun volunteering for the Campaign with my school's young Democrat's club working with the local Campaign for Change office.
Barack Obama is EXACTLY what this country and the world needs...when have you seen voters so excited about a candidate? NEVER. Not in my lifetime at least...he gives the American people a sense of hope. McCain doesn't give that hope.a majority of his voters simply HATE Obama and are voting for McCain because of it....OBAMA EMBODIES AMERICAN HOPE!!! Let your racist tensions go.vote for hope.
Hello, my Kenyan friend! This great man, Obama, will change the world! The hope for tomorrow has never been greater! Under President Obama the US will regain its place not only a world economic and military power, but as a force for positive change!
Obama is here to make a change. To help humanity turn from the road of destruction that we to long have walked. Love, passion, inspiration and empowerment is the way. And Obama is on that way
He may not be the cleverest person in the world, and obviously everyone has flaws. But he has shown that he believes and that we can place our trust in him to make the correct decisions.
I see, you scrutinize every note left. Well slap me on the "red list". Yer gonna have to take me dead. I won't be chipped.
I deserve to live just like anyone and everyone else. Ship us off to other places. I don't care. Just stop murdering us. The world is knee deep in blood already. Embrace who we are or you will never be whole. We must embrace you also. I suggest emnity for the truth. How about it?
People want change so much they are willing to elect the first guy or gal to offer it.
But listen Obama will bring socialism which will take away our freedom that we have fought for over 200 years. The socialism he will bring will undoubtedly bring communism right behind it. and a look back in history will tell us thats not a good idea.
Okay, you obviously are cynical and disillusioned. Socialism, but the way, is much different from communism. However, socialism is already in place by a right wing president that professed his hatred for socialism. Bush has engendered socialism because of his mislead views of capitalism. Please be informed. No candidate is supporting socialism, which is not as bad as facism, which is the extreme opposite. All we are saying is that goverment can help. Government is here to help. And it should.
Obama is here to make a change. To help humanity turn from the road of destruction that we to long have walked. Love, passion, inspiration and empowerment is the way. And Obama is on that way.
Love, respect and peace from Fredrik. (Norway.) :D
Regardless of who wins this upcoming election I hope that the enthusiasm and inspiration that has recently been brought to the surface doesn't die out. It's time for everyone to start contributing to the greater good, no matter what your political beliefs or country you hail from. I hope that each of you finds your own small way of doing so because this apathy (and in some cases pure idiocy) is getting us nowhere.
I wish my Mom was still alive to see this. She and my Dad raised 2 daughters to be the best they can, to share with those who are less fortunate, to care about our country.
I will be voting honor of my mother, and in the Hope of brining positive Change to our Country.
Obama/Biden 08 because we are better than the last 8 years.
CHANGE is what America needs, not the same policies that proved such abject failure in America. McCain is cutting and pasting exactly the same policies Bush had, Bush might as well continue his presidency then. There is no change with McCain around.
"Obamination to the whole civilization, of the human population. Yes we can change this nation, under this advocation and may this confrontation be in no devastation"
My family is rep. but is voting for Obama because ... we NEED change! Obama and Biden can bring that. I am only 15, but i am having a voice. Our generation needs to step up and bring change! OBAMA '08 BABY!
Hey lemmings - do you all have your bar and sickle flags at the ready? Look at the history of Obama - what has he ever done that bettered his constituency? Ever?
We Need Change We Can Trust!!!!! And That Change Is McCain - Palin .... Biden And Clinton Say Obama Not Ready!!!!! And For Once They Were Right!!!!! Wake Up People!!! Vote McCain Palin
I'm a big time Rep. for the longest time. Now that I'm 18 and able to vote... Iam still with the Rep party... But my vote is going for Barack Obama. Obama is a person that can bring U.S. togther for once in our life time... its time for something new!!!!!
I never have been interested in politics before now, but this candidate has excited me for the first time ever. I have voted in the past before, but never have I been more excited. Obama/Biden excites me.
I hope you're a genuine candidate for presidency because at these times we really do need someone to change the American Nation's problems and the world's problems in general. Alot is riding on this presidency so do your best and goo luck
Ads like this make the distinction so clear, that it shouldn't be that hard of a choice!! Wake up that morning, and vote!! Vote early!!! Make sure you have an official absentee ballot, not the fake ones the RNC are mailing out!
post this vid on your myspace/facebook, and email it.
Oh, but "Oneway565" will now explain to us mortgage derivatives and their bundling as investment products...Just vote democratic and end the pain of the last eight years. Even Sarah Palin is smarter than you are. Ask Katie Couric, or perhaps you haven't seen that grossly disturbing video. Come November I win. Watch it happen.
as a Canadian college student who is quite aware of the election that is going on in the united states this makes me feel so much hope for your country. I would be lying if I said that I do have a skewed view of your country based on how your current president has acted during his term and for you to have a candidate like Obama makes me feel as though something great and wonderful is about to happen in the United States.
This video reminds me why the United States is the best country in the world, and why its people (by and large) are so remarkable. Please, Americans, vote for Obama: the world needs your leadership now more than ever!
The song is "Fake Empire" by The National. Here are some of the lyrics: Tiptoe through our shiny city with our diamond slippers on do our gay ballet on ice bluebirds on our shoulders were half-awake in a fake empire were half-awake in a fake empire Turn the light out say goodnight no thinking for a little while lets not try to figure out everything at once Its hard to keep track of you falling through the sky were half-awake in a fake empire were half-awake in a fake empire
Because he has actually explained his plans for change, rather than the pageant-like ritual of spouting "lower taxes, reform schools, kiss babies" without a plan.
He can actually get down to the issues, and make a difference.
Do research. Look into both canidates pasts. Read their history. I don't belong to either party. I vote for the best person. That is all we can do. Don't stop believing in people because of past coruption. HOPE FOR CHANGE!
Ride on dude! Please, everyone, google "Anne Kilkenny" and go to the very first link to find out all the information you need to know about Sarah Palin. It Was written by Anne Kilkenny, who knew Sarah Palin personally and was even on a first name basis with her relatives.
And alas, I'm only 14. However, try to get your parents to help you make a donation to Barack Obama(need your parents because it requirs a credit card) so you can know that you did help too. His funds rely almost completely on ordinary people so I made a $25 contribution(all that I could make because I spent the rest on candy).
I am crying with pride! I love our country! I am so proud to be an American and alive during this time in our story! Thank you Sen. Obama and all of you out there for making this happen!
Ha! The best argument against Barack Obama is a one-minute conversation with the average democrat voter they don't seem to understand anything about the economy nor politics!.
This is an amazing video...I sort of wish I was American and able to vote...I'm Canadian...I suppose stereotypically, I'm weird, right? But this video...it sort of inspires you to feel like you can change things...It's a good feeling.
A ~slightly~ edited-down version of this, maybe 110-130 seconds, should be used to saturate major markets in 'swing states' during the last few days before the election.
You completely censor free speech for people to ask what Obama supporters think or even know about his policies to expand the war in Afghanistan when more civilians have died than 9/11, to increase military spending when US is in debt, to maintain occupation in Iraq and to start a new war in Pakistan.
At least Ralph Nader allows free speech even if it's adbuse and is against war AND occupation in Iraq AND Afghanistan.
I was on the verge of leaving the USA for good and cutting up my passport because I thought all was lost. And then Barack Obama came on the scene and gave me HOPE and made me believe in CHANGE and I am more inspired than I have ever been. I love you guys. Let's win this thing!
In my lifetime (47 years) I have never been so disgusted with my fellow countrymen and women. If Obama does not win, it will be the fall of the American Dream. Makes me cry to think about.
The voice over, "This may be our last chance" should be a wake up call to anyone who thinks their vote is not critical. Now is the time to decide our future, time is running out.
(At least) consider... cutting (and re-cutting) this down to ~about~ 1:30, and running it, say, every Sunday, between dinner hour and prime time in major markets, in swing-states. Its consistently positive message is what McCain/Palin cannot approach... each next issue du jour they want to bat around for momentary political gain will never top this on November 4th. (The Ohio barn-painting would be a good addition... for a second or two.)
I normally don't post comments, but this video's amazing. In a time in which the Republican Party is rallying harder than ever around a campaign based on failed policies and outright lies, it's humbling to see an equally powerful positive response.
Beautifully shot, edited, and great music courtesy of The National. When I get down because of the increasingly negative and Rove-like campaigning coming from the McCain camp, I just spend 2:40 minutes with this video and get inspired again.
I keep watching this video OVER and OVER.. VERY inspiring.. I hope Obama wins. If he doesn't i want him to continue to be our voice and challenge EVERYTHING McCain does!
seriously i hope obama wins! even though im not old enough to vote, i can understand why mostly everyone with some common sense wants change and peace...
This needs to go viral! Copy and paste the link to this and email it out to at least 10people, blog it, facebook it, myspace it etc etc let's make this one get in the news...
Over the past 17 months, millions of Americans from every corner of this country have taken part in the political process and built an unprecedented movement for change. This video, featuring footage and photos from supporters across the country, documents this grassroots movement and the supporters who truly are the backbone of this campaign.
I'm not usually one for leaving comments, but this video is incredible.
In this time when we see the Republican Party rallying even harder and more fervently around such negative and hateful politics, it's humbling to see a force as powerful and positive respond.
Beautiful music by The National, wonderfully shot and edited. Whenever I feel overwhelmed by the state of the nation or the increasingly Rove-like negativity of this election, I spend 2:40 with this video and get inspired again.
Obama Experience: 1.- Bachelors in International Relations, Columbia University 2.- Professor of Constitutional Law, University of Chicago Law School 3.- J.D. Harvard University 4.- Civil Rights Attorney 5.- Eight years in the Illinois State Senate 6.- United States Senator since 04 7.- Chairman of Foreign Relations Committee 8.- Author of two best sellers I THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO BE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT- VOTE OBAMA 08 McCain & Palin combined have less Higher education than Obama
Here's the real problem with Mr Obama: the jarring gap between his promises of change and his status quo performance. There are just too many contradictions between the eloquent poetry of the man's stirring rhetoric and the dull, familiar prose of his political record. He could have CHANGED super corrupted Chicago politics - instead he USED it for his own gain.
I can only Pray that the Divisive smears and calculated Tactics of McCain & Palin does Not take precedence over all that is Good and Beautiful here in America.
This could be our Last Chance to Reclaim the America that WE LOVE.
WE will be with YOU. And WE will Fight Back to be a UNITED AMERICA once again.
This Palin thing reminds the world of the sometimes superficial game-show quality of American politics. How can so many people suddenly get behind a minor politician from out of nowhere without knowing anything about her?? Just because she's a woman and gives a gutsy speech, she can end up president of the most powerful nation in history?? Palin is NOT Clinton! lol Wake up, America! Please!!
This ad gives me hope. I want an Obama/Biden administration to be a reality. I simple shudder to entertain that John McCain could actually win this using the momentary celebrity of Sarah Palin. America needs Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the white house!
First change now hope? Remember change is good and change is bad...how about you change the subject...would you rather have a teenager fix your computer or Bill Gates? I just "hope" that you all agree on the socialized medical program...having to wait in line for 3 months before your two year old can have his annual check up...real sweet there.
well hey. obama didnt lie about changing america. the ndaa bill definately does the job.

Nobody has ever gotten this many people charged up in a positive way.
I understand your concern.
But this man is what we need.
The change we deserve.

Because he has actually explained his plans for change, rather than the pageant-like ritual of spouting "lower taxes, reform schools, kiss babies" without a plan.
He can actually get down to the issues, and make a difference.

Because he has a Harvard degree and a consistent record. to name a couple of reasons.

Do research. Look into both canidates pasts. Read their history. I don't belong to either party. I vote for the best person. That is all we can do. Don't stop believing in people because of past coruption. HOPE FOR CHANGE!

Ride on dude! Please, everyone, google "Anne Kilkenny" and go to the very first link to find out all the information you need to know about Sarah Palin. It Was written by Anne Kilkenny, who knew Sarah Palin personally and was even on a first name basis with her relatives.

And alas, I'm only 14. However, try to get your parents to help you make a donation to Barack Obama(need your parents because it requirs a credit card) so you can know that you did help too. His funds rely almost completely on ordinary people so I made a $25 contribution(all that I could make because I spent the rest on candy).

A ~slightly~ edited-down version of this, maybe 110-130 seconds, should be used to saturate major markets in 'swing states' during the last few days before the election.

This video says nothing.
You completely censor free speech for people to ask what Obama supporters think or even know about his policies to expand the war in Afghanistan when more civilians have died than 9/11, to increase military spending when US is in debt, to maintain occupation in Iraq and to start a new war in Pakistan.
At least Ralph Nader allows free speech even if it's adbuse and is against war AND occupation in Iraq AND Afghanistan.

Barack means "Blessed"

In my lifetime (47 years) I have never been so disgusted with my fellow countrymen and women. If Obama does not win, it will be the fall of the American Dream. Makes me cry to think about.

The voice over, "This may be our last chance" should be a wake up call to anyone who thinks their vote is not critical. Now is the time to decide our future, time is running out.

(At least) consider... cutting (and re-cutting) this down to ~about~ 1:30, and running it, say, every Sunday, between dinner hour and prime time in major markets, in swing-states. Its consistently positive message is what McCain/Palin cannot approach... each next issue du jour they want to bat around for momentary political gain will never top this on November 4th. (The Ohio barn-painting would be a good addition... for a second or two.)

I normally don't post comments, but this video's amazing. In a time in which the Republican Party is rallying harder than ever around a campaign based on failed policies and outright lies, it's humbling to see an equally powerful positive response.
Beautifully shot, edited, and great music courtesy of The National. When I get down because of the increasingly negative and Rove-like campaigning coming from the McCain camp, I just spend 2:40 minutes with this video and get inspired again.

Over the past 17 months, millions of Americans from every corner of this country have taken part in the political process and built an unprecedented movement for change. This video, featuring footage and photos from supporters across the country, documents this grassroots movement and the supporters who truly are the backbone of this campaign.

No substance, no ideas, all fluff, all politics as usual, what a surprise.
I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego centric, paranoic, prima donnas.
All I want is the truth now,
Just give me some truth.

This should be played on every station in every market at least once every two hours until the election. It's just amazing.
Is it being shown on TV? It's pretty long. It's too good to be restricted to the internet.
TheUnknownHero 3 years ago
I'm not usually one for leaving comments, but this video is incredible.
In this time when we see the Republican Party rallying even harder and more fervently around such negative and hateful politics, it's humbling to see a force as powerful and positive respond.
Beautiful music by The National, wonderfully shot and edited. Whenever I feel overwhelmed by the state of the nation or the increasingly Rove-like negativity of this election, I spend 2:40 with this video and get inspired again.

Here's the real problem with Mr Obama: the jarring gap between his promises of change and his status quo performance. There are just too many contradictions between the eloquent poetry of the man's stirring rhetoric and the dull, familiar prose of his political record. He could have CHANGED super corrupted Chicago politics - instead he USED it for his own gain.

Godspeed, Barack....
I can only Pray that the Divisive smears and calculated Tactics of McCain & Palin does Not take precedence over all that is Good and Beautiful here in America.
This could be our Last Chance to Reclaim the America that WE LOVE.
WE will be with YOU. And WE will Fight Back to be a UNITED AMERICA once again.

This Palin thing reminds the world of the sometimes superficial game-show quality of American politics. How can so many people suddenly get behind a minor politician from out of nowhere without knowing anything about her?? Just because she's a woman and gives a gutsy speech, she can end up president of the most powerful nation in history?? Palin is NOT Clinton! lol Wake up, America! Please!!

meanwhile... while all the Obamaists are busy circle jerking about "hope", 88% of Washington DC's 8th graders CAN'T EVEN READ.
That's right folks, 88 PERCENT CANNOT EVEN READ... if that is not a monumental failure, I don't know what is.
AND DON'T BLAME IT ON THE GOP. The dems have OWNED DC for 50 years.
Sorry, I didn't mean to interject some reality into your Obama-gasms... I now return you to your "hope" bullshit.
