California Debate: Barack's opening statement

[famouschrissy]

hHw the hell does he move people when he speaks??He sound so UNSURE of himself and stutters because he does not know what to say.

i wonder why...

The only reason why people are against Hillary is because she is an extremely intelligent woman, and people (mostly men) are scared of a woman taking control of our country. Let's face it, she would make a great president.

[DoubleMM70]

Most people that take their time to speak makes sure their point comes across correctly. Imagine if you blurted out everything that first came to your mind?

A person that takes their time to speak are usually are articulate.

People are against Hilary is because she is part of that old machine. I have no problem with a women that reaches into the grass roots to get her votes. She thought she was just going to walk into the nomination. she is out of touch with the american people

[rappoltpierre]

what is this old machine crap about? Obama is just another big government politician.

[L0lgurl2]

and without air i cant breath

[YoungAndBalding]

I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM RUN TOGETHER

[KnuckleBallz]

Thats the new J.F.K. there!

[juan909s]

If obama becomes president, he will be one of the best presidents that made the world, of the united states, a better place. I truely believe he's in it for america, and not for his pocket.

Please, help america,

vote Obama 08'.

Thank you.

[babylcw]

obama gets my vote.

[enabuus]

Im on tourism in Norway,a friend coutry. But Barack makes me understand what my friends are telling me. Im voting for him.

[19torch86]

I hope i will see them as a dream team in the presidential elections.

Together they can make it. They are both truly amazing candidates!

[yimod79]

Mr. obama is absolutely a breath of fresh air....

[jennaloree6579]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo obama!

you've my vote!

[whosoever]

My favorite question of the night was from a reader who said she was 38 years old and had never had a chance to vote in an election without a Clinton or a Bush on the ticket. Hillary is a hero, but this is -his- time. We need an Obama coalition to clean up after this Bush.

[garlic251]

The way Hillary was looking at Obama @ 0:51 says that Hillary knew she lost to Obama already.

[fightthepillow]

Hilary's got my vote.

Honestly, I am a democrat.

If the last two standing are Obama and Mr. Republican.

the majority of the votes will go for Mr. Republican.

I support Obama but I don't believe that U.S is ready for him.

[ltwilkinso21]

Barack is a great speaker, and probably a great person, but he truly needs to "level with the American people". If he is going to accomplish all that he says he will, he is going to raise taxes on the most successful Americans (the rich) in order to provide entitlements to the less successful (the poor). Now, 5% of the population (the rich) pay 90% of the taxes. The more we tax wealthy people, the more likely they will take their money (and JOBS) to another country. Kinda counterproductive

[Stadium07]

can't wait for super tuesday. Let's go Obama

[wopwoman]

He actually moves people when he speaks. This man is a lot like Kennedy.You actually believe what he is saying,which is hard to do with most of these politicians. OBAMA 08!

[Newseeker69]

I wish them good luck! I hope that one of them win. I live in Canada and because of Harper and Bush, North America is wrongly characterized around the world. If Obama wins, then North America MIGHT retrieve his nickname: The land of freedom and liberty! No discrimination, no racism. I hope too that racism will take a hit if Obama becomes the new president. I hope too that he will think about the environment's crisis around the world. Well, there's a lot to change...

[Newseeker69]

I live in Canada and all I have to say is that Bush has done terrible presidential mandate. Because of him, Canada and the U.S.A are wrongly characterized around the world. Well, I must say that it's because of Harper too! But, with Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton runnig for the presidential race, people around the world MIGHT actually see North America differently. I hope that racism will take a hit. No KKK, no nazi, no discrimination! A perfect world where we can live peacefully!!!

[mugglemathdork]

I think you're being a bit naive about hte peace but it's a step towards progress and change.

XD

[farmakidis1]

Very nice opening statement. Galant, eloquent and strong. Impressive!

Keep in mind countries around the world would kill for leadership like this-

What an exciting race.

[Beccathepromomami]

barack really hit the ball out of the park with this one and showed that he is a uniter in the truest since of the word. he quelled the media-encouraged and hyped agitation, whether real or putative, between himself and Clinton, and did so very gracefully.

i was impressed.

[go365]

im from england i love obama i wish he could come and kick gordon brown out.:(

[betterlucknow]

This guy will make history, not only because of who he is but what he will do as president.

[TomAwtry]

Take back America and give it to the people, and be a leader, both in our Executive Branch and international community.

[b00mheadsh0t69]

Obama/Hillary 08!

[AbominableHoman]

That guy has it! Damn. I'm truly excited at the possibility of seeing him in office! Hopefully he can pull it out in Oregon, I'll be voting.

[macflyfilm]

Hilary Clinton looks so fake, I wonder why that is?

"It's cause she is."

[borddurasoir]

*applauds*

[MVPowerGTX]

If Obama win the nomination and the Presidency, I could truly say that America democracy is the greatest in the world. I could truly say that race was not the issue, but character and inspiration is what counts. America need a new face, no offense to Hillary she's great but I believe that we need a leader that bring all people of all walks of life together. Who can unite us as " One nation, under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all"

[frellthat]

Exactly. For 20 straight years now, our government has been controlled by only two families. I'd like to prove to myself and to the rest of the world that we are still a democracy.

[MrSQuEqUeG]

I couldn't agree more

[utexan]

Obama was great!

[regnarsux105]

impresses me each time he speaks

[mkabbz]

that's the thing about obama, if he becomes president, he'll have tremendous influence over most people he speaks too

[08551]

bama

0  8

[macflyfilm]

O8ama

[southsidetokyo]

Obama 2008!

[HCortes96]

I wonder what Hillary was thinking while he was talking.

[NICC234]

That's the same exact thing I was thinking.

[marblewonder]

Hillary Clinton:"uhhh... friends? wtf is he talking bout??"

[divinezero]

She probably was mad. He got the opening so he could address situations which will eventually benefit obama.

[Ctopkis]

DAAAAAAAAAMN!

[thetubeaccount]

she was thinking, "Obama '08!"

[macflyfilm]

Ha ha, the truth can be so funny sometimes. Thanks for that.

[clonjey]

I think she was thinking "Man this guy is slick."

[Weirdy123]

Obama 08
