I Want National Unity and International Diplomacy

[jinnyschannel]

I respect your drive for world peace. :) I hope you can achieve it.

[streater2005]

obama is not going to get us out of the war. everyone forgets that the democrats were and probably still are the war party. the only reason we had a republican president that was for war is because he was influenced by neocons that came over from the democratic party. you need to read up on your history of both parties.

[watbzup]

dude,

i am all for obama too! and ur a really good public speaker if ur not gonna be one of those politics or watever their called-you should be a braudcaster.

[bobamanow]

RationalLiberty, you want to "punish" Dems for not stopping the war and all their other sins. But you'd punish Americans and the world to more Republican insanity. The hard core of current Republicans is corporate and military power. But the fragile core of Democrats and Obama, with all their limitations, respects people's rights and aspirations, and we must nurture it for change in a sane direction. "Punishment" does not get us there. In Voltaire's words, "The perfect is the enemy of the good."

[RationalLiberty]

the republicans adopted preemptive war, however Obama and the democratic congress have extended the killing of Iraqis and through complacency and silence on preemptive war, have adopted it.

They have supported funding the Iraq conflict even harder than the Republicans-Obama included. They supported the FISA bill which destroys any 4th amendment protections we had against warrantless searches-Obama included.

He claims to bring change to our politics, right before he adopts it.

[bobamanow]

Yes, in many ways Obama is politics as usual. But we vote for US President, not humanity's savior. However limited by the system, Obama has potential: his enthusiasts may be starry eyed, but that's because we sense his decency, absent in most politicians by the time they get to his level. Decency and intelligence may make a world of difference. He is better than "the lesser of two evils". But even if he were just that, think of where we would be if in 2000 Gore had been elected instead of Bush.

[maddogza]

EXACTLY!

Very well written and intelligent, other than most of the comments I get.

Thanks, boba.

[streater2005]

what intelligence is there. democrats are so ignorant. you only liked that comment because it made you feel good about what you believe in.

[ovensleeper]

Yeah, they promote 'unity' and go straight towards separation after the election.

[RationalLiberty]

is what i say really so radical to be part of "humanity's savior"? I wish very much to elect an intelligent and decent man into any public office, but at the very least the Constitution must be obeyed. Preemptive wars arent constitutional. Neither are nuclear first strikes or occupation.

Obama is a decent man though? I very much disagree. I consider opposition to Republican foreign policy a MUST for any opposition party. Not opposing this indecent endeavor overseas 100% is that not indecent?

[bobamanow]

Democrats, Obama included, by pandering to Republicans on war, surveillance, empire building, corporate cuddling, immigrant bashing, risk losing an election that should be a shoo-in. Will you help them lose by not voting or by voting for the "good" guy who only pops up during elections? Being righteous may finish us off. Worse darkness and devastation are likely with McCain. Between, not just during elections, it is our job to push the Dems to their senses with tough love, not by dissing them.

[RationalLiberty]

Between elections we must push the democrats-I agree. The politicians must be responsive to our wants. But, generally speaking now, should we reward or punish the party in power for not being responsive like you say they should?

We should punish of course. The dems were elected in 06 to stop the war-they have not. They were elected to be an opposition party rather than a rubber stamp, but have you yet seen the government shut down, wars ended, civil liberties protected, and bush power..

[RationalLiberty]

...grabs thrown down by the democrats? have you seen bush impeached for the obvious crimes he has committed? Have you seen any motion toward progressive values?

I wholeheartedly agree, we must push our candidtes to responsiveness inbetween elections, but this Congress has not represented progressive values at all for their entire term!

In other countries new parties would come to power off the failures of the old opposition party. In this country, why would we want to elect dems again?

[RationalLiberty]

that all said, I must turn to Obama.

He is the pick of the establishment, and he has proven it through his "centrist" (more like rightward) positions that he has taken on FISA, Supreme court, faith based initiatives-etc.

The newest proof of this is by choosing Biden to be his V.P. (not exactly a 'change' agent is he?)

I am worried if Obama extends his power as president, would he be held accountable by a democratic congress?

No.

Would McCain?

Maybe, but if Bush isnt impeached...

[RationalLiberty]

...then no president could ever be!

I think because of these reasons, Obama is bad, and McCain is worse, but Obama is SO bad, in an election year when he could REALLY create change the likes of which we havent seen since the New Deal-that I cannot in good conscience vote for him.

Dont get me wrong, I HATE that scumbag warmonger McCain, but I fiercely feel betrayed by Obama.

I think it is imperative that us as voters not stand by and take all this abuse. We want change-LETS SEE IT!

[RationalLiberty]

Obama stands for peace-thats why he wont take a nuclear strike OFF the table for Iran!Thats why he votes for the war funding EVERY time!Thats why he wants contracters to remain in Iraq, missions to be conducted there, and troops to remain to protect our Vatican sized embassy!Thats why he wants to increase American aid to Israel-the largest aggressor in the Middle East-and Georgia-despite the fact that our involvement in both countries has caused the conflict there is today!

Peace vote=3rd party

[StandardsForLiving]

Obama is pulling the typical negro hustle, albeit, on a larger scale, and sheeple are being led to the slaughter. Wake up and see Obama for what he is, a fraud!

[Kenny2k08]

Basically, the Democrat party thinks you should do what you want. Kill a baby, go ahead. Marry someone of the same gender and forget all about the laws of nature, go ahead. It's basically the word madhouse hiding behind the word Democrat.

[geekstreat]

YUK! The Democratic Party(the party of deviciveness)has no creativity themselves so they need other people to them what its like to be a demoncrat. NOBAMA '08 and NO MCAIN either '08

[mafaon321]

I'm very proud of you young man. This is a very powerful and creative video. It is just amazing how Obama is inspiring young people in this election. America has hope again.

[Bluesguy22]

Rock on young peacenik! I was delighted to see such a positive approach to the possibility of peace from someone of your young generation. Dreamers definately have a place in this country. In fact it will take many, many dreamers (and doers)to offset the negativism of the "necodeleos" of this country! Keep moving us all toward peace in this world. If we're all so fortunate, this country's next president will be helping you along ... if he's Barack Obama, that is.

[StandUPProductions]

Rockin job standin UP!

[chezenko]

Excellent video... hope you win a chance to attend the National Convention!

[einsteinian]

Saynotothecynics- I speak the truth, I would never put him down for going out and doing something, the peace sign rocked by the way, any intelligent person agrees with peace, its just really hard to obtain. I merely attempted to give him an honest look at the troubles there are, by looking them directly in the face, one day they may actually be fixed. I want good things, I want change, obama/mccain- not the answer... How long will it take to find out? About 8 years......

[paularicorico]

COOL how you organized this event, so proud of YOU! I pray everyday for mature man with such love for peace and YOU ARE AN ANSWER to my prayers as you notice, some of the comments, people DO NOT make sense, No CHARACTER, No PRINCIPLES, No CONDUCT, I think an animal have better sense! so SHAME on them and more POWER to YOU! Their lives are so freaking vague It is just jealousy!

[einsteinian]

Obama is not the answer, no matter what BS is spread I will not change my mind that obama is slightly racist. Now he may not condemn any one race but he does have a confused and jaded view on life. He has said with his own words that he assumed his grandmother was racist because she was frightened by a desperate black man at the bus station. Im sorry but any old lady would be frightened of ANY color desperate man! Its a fact his views are skewed, Mccain isnt the answer either. Yay nobody!

[optimisticautiously]

RIght on!!!

[lonnyonline]

PROPAGANDA Much?

[freekrolik]

hahaahha .. Obama will not Rush to war... this is hilarious!

maybe.. Obama will not do illegal war! ? hmm?

oh wait.. Obama will not rush to torture?

COMON

[azas1949]

This is hilarious - the comments! Complaining about "the dumming down of America" - it is spelled dumbing. Preeches is spelled preaches and comment should be commend. Please learn to spell before you start critiquing other people on their views.

What hypocrisy!

[jjr730]

gee, sorry for hitting one wrong key on the keyboard, next time I will try to be as perfect as you. I am sure you have never made a mistake, Try taking in the content, not the spelling

[the2006rookie]

wonderful. These Jackass liberals spit in our(americans) face and show us the poor children getting endocrinated

[einsteinian]

Lastly, oh what it felt like to be his age and still believe there was hope......

[einsteinian]

Let me explain how the government works to the younger set.

Its very simply the oldest con, the cup and ball game. Label the cups /Dem\ /Rep\ /Ind\, the important issue is the ball that gets lost, the citizens are the sucker who lose the bet, and the government is the magician/conman who profits.

Round and round it goes where it stops nobody knows. Ok sir pick a cup, ohhh better luck next time......

/.............. I hope this clears it up, if not you will soon find out yourself.

[jjr730]

Thank God they can't vote, dumming down of America, heres the proof, Sad part is 50% of the nation is just like him.

[BenHameen33]

You know, you seem like a good kid, and it was cool how you got all of those people to in a peace sign, but, OBAMA WILL NOT BRING WORLD PEACE. nor will any other person sharing his views. Please, do your research. Consider what his views are. Please, for the sake of those little kids, THINK!

[einsteinian]

Agreed. Nobody will fix anything, it would require firing almost every single congressman, crony, senator, president, cabinet, advisors, and even then we would still be run by the damn banks who rampantly print money and have owned the united states since long before any of us were born, since approximately 1920. Check the federal reserve act for proof. You can thank rockafeller and his 2 buddies for that. Every election, same bullshit, 2 assholes with agendas. Obama/Mccain- Not the answer.

[the2006rookie]

well does this make you think of any thing "I am a global citizen.... We are all global citizens... Forgive America.... the world should work as one... I comment the EU and believe in their currency" Not exact words but close enought.... THAT IS WHAT BARRAK OBAMA PREECHES TO US......

[joggmaister]

...

[mrNHC]

If barrack become president the golden gate bridge and hoover dam is going down for sure!

[rogueelite]

oh no! a world without t.v. what will we ever do????

[serenityblues]

America the brainwashed. It's sad to read some of these paranoid posts. You are in fear of an intelligent, informed, charismatic american who cares about his country and the planet. He has never done anything EVER that deserves the kind of lies and attacks about his patriotism. Right now I am disgusted with both the Republicans & the media.

[nathanballa100]

hahaha you should do some research on your god obama befor you support him

[chesterfieldtownship]

What does an aerial shot of a college crowd peace symbol have to do with substantive commentary on our choices this year? Sorry, it just seems like young voters are getting more and more shallow.

[Dave9309]

NEW WORLD ORDER.

[Zile77]

Hey kid, can you please tell us what Mr. Obama has accomplished for anyone besides being a commy organizer and writing a book about his favorite subject, himself? The truth is that Obama is an empty suit, using emotional diatribe to con the weak-minded liberals.

Did you know that Obama denied Christ to the entire world in Munich? He did. He also uses code for socializm calling it "Economic Justice." America is a democracy, not a fascist state or third world country. Socializm NEVER works!

[Iberiansyes]

Socialism does infact work. Consider this the next time you send your child to a "socialized" school or when a "socialized" fire company saves your house from burning down. Obama's rhetoric however is empty and he doesn't stand for many classically left wing issues which he should such as universal healthcare or the right to privacy.

[AndyPinon4]

that is cool that a 15 year old organized such a big peace speech

[Truthpolice9698]

Hey kid when terrorist fly planes in your buildings and kill thousands, more people than at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the start of WWII you cower like a dog or fight back.

Be proud Bush kicked some ass. You don't have to be ashamed of your country for killing thousands of terrorist. Anytime bad people are killed its a good thing for America and the world.

Someday when you have children you will be glad Bush protected America.

Don't vote for fascist kid.

[VerbotenDingleberry]

Read the Constitution, really read it. Read the Federalist Papers. Read "The Law" (Bastiat).

Obama is a Socialist. Everything the founders stood for he stands against.

Please, before you ever vote, try to wash away the propaganda you've been fed by the popular media and government schools.

It's your future. You can spend it as a State Owned Slave or a Free Man. It's up to you.

[lenbmark]

I am a proud gay, black, poor, teenage, Republican. Give me one SPECIFIC reason I should vote for Barack Obama.

[gjohnson87109]

LOL. If you are a teen,You can't vote! Well that's one problem knocked down. Get a job you won't be poor anymore. register Independant. Ok taken care of two more problems. The gay part, well you could very well be the lucky one.

[lenbmark]

I could be the lucky one about what? what do you mean about that?

[SharonYW]

Good for you kid!

[zbowling]

you are too young to vote.

[Gforcevidsymas]

I would just like to ask the question how can anyone including Obama try to use diplomacy with people like Ayatollah Rafsangani who said "restoring relations with the U.S. depends on a change in American Policy towards Iran...the US has to endorse an acceptable policy towards Palestine and stop (American) support of Israel" He does not sound like a person willing to negotiate. Plus we know that Iran is responsible for helping terrorists and the U.S. does not negotiate with terrorists.

[thesupernaturalfreak]

Bloody Hell ya! I'm Totally with u mate, (:

[Zile77]

Demonrats want socializm. They can't handle competition because they're losers. Obama calls it "Economic Justice" his code word for socializm. Obama's now ranting about McCain telling everyone that Obama is too risky. Well that IS true, he is to risky during this time.

Obama is full of hot air, zero substance. He wants to go backwards to the days of having government stealing your money to give to whom he and his cronies decide by massive taxation and redistributing the wealth to themselves!

[johlaejounson]

Trevor

I commend you for your work, it's great to see young people stand for what they believe in. Job well done!

-Johlae

[la1880]

Hi Trev,

Global kisses from Holland; how are you? hope you are fine. Passed exams and going to study law from September; how about you?

Are you going to join the global kisses collaboration: global kisses for the good cause?

Love

xx

[tonyopp]

Great video!

[123walmas]

My previous comment was not very useful. What i really meant was Obama is not the hopeful lovely guy he is made out to be. If you look at his record he is very calculating. For example he voted for Cloture on the FISA bill which destroys personal privacy and the liberty we hold so dear. "Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither."

Either way, I do not support John McCain at all. I support critical thinking and voting based on the candidates record rather than their Marketing.

[freedomriver]

Kids kids kids they have got you fooled. If you cant vote shut up. It does not matter who wins we lose.

[123walmas]

Barack Obama Sucks, Hes just another politician to get elected. Learn to play.

[stayhereinmyroom]

Wow, I hate to make your head big, but you're pretty awsome.

I mean, a peace rally with that many people. Props. :]

[superfrisbie]

Trev, you godda be the most stand-up person i know! haha nice job again!

[debstef]

Bravo. Socialism, Liberalism, Communism. All sucking the individualism out of humans. Never

[Olivia Ma]

great work, Trevor :)

[NiteAngel]

hahah lolololol you got an McCain ad next to this video

[granskare]

nice Trevor! I'm also for Obama and will vote for him. I heard him speak when he was running for Illinois US Senator. Our former congressman, Lane Evans, saw in him something great! :)

[pinkyrun123]

i understand!!!

ps.my cuzin said this "BIG WORDS"

[chezenko]

Awesome! Loved the message and the kids...

[loderchris]

hmmm not rushing to war is hardly peace.

[Splashorr]

Nice video, even nicer initiative on the 'we stand up for worldpeace' thingy!
