Barack Obama speech (Part 1) - LA Fundraiser Sept 16, 2008

[MrElectrician59]

Yeah, Babs is all happy now, she bashed Bush every chance she got,

even in her concerts.

Where's the Peace Sign now, Hollywood? He sent more troops

over there but I guess it's okay now.

Independent

[cwisme]

wish I had been there, love them both!!

[Monrocsol]

Obama bores me to death.

[scrumptious32]

Why because he uses big words, and knows what the hell he's talking about? He's not a drunk, and he has actual knowledge on Economics??? Wow, let's fall asleep to that; I hope you wake up and realize that it is the People's duty to demand shit get done. It's not suppose to be people fear government, it's government fears the people; we elect them, therefore they screw up, they have no job. So you better start caring about you're place as an American. Only igorant people don't care, what a waste.

[djar63]

Lewinsky was giving Bill Clinton bj's in the oval office.

[CosmicSpeck]

IMO Streisand is an extreme leftist-a RADICAL-with no empathy or understanding of any other political point of view.

Saddest is that she's hypocritical with her outrageous ticket prices she forces her american working class fans to pay.She then treats them to diatribes of her political views during her concert as if she were a queen.This must be her idea of "democracy."

She gets up, changes the lyrics to songs & tries to be clever.This is her political "power"-talk about campy!

[biz663]

Haha you are a total idiot. If you don't like her, then stop watching.

[djar63]

Obama has proved if nothing else, is that brain washing works.

[CosmicSpeck]

Streisand is concerned about America.She wants them to have more breaks tax-wise.She supports politicians who want to "redistribute the wealth."

So why does she gouge her fans & charge them the highest tickets prices in the history of concert/tour events? She's redistributing the wealth back into her checking accounts-that's why!

Bab's is a hyprocrite, a liberal extremist who is so out of touch with the middle class & working poor that it's pathetic.

And her singing voice is tired!

[biz663]

She donated over $10,000,000 from her 2006 concert tour to charity. Maybe you should research your facts before judging someone you know nothing about.

[itchpooch]

Please note that most of the folks worshiping Obama, also worship themselves, sex, drugs, and money. These are the values they want all America to share. They have sad lives, even with all the money they are empty vessels, they are always looking for a new cause to help fulfill the emptiness in themselves. Obama is the Lord of their current need.

[hockeyfanott87]

Barbara Streisand is a loser. Tell me how is Obama ready to be president when he hasn't done squat in the Senate. At least McCain has fought against Boeing, created a campaign-finance reform, etc. etc.

[jojo34209]

The only real loser here is you, you dumbass. Stupid McCain has done nothing else than agree with imbecilic Bush for the last eight years, and drained the country of resources and took our economy and our status around the world to the ground. Americans want to and have to redeem thmeselves after the last 2fiascos we had for presidential elections, and the choice is clear: BARRACK OBAMA IS THE TRUE CHANGE WE NEED. GOOD BLESS OBAMA, AND GOD BLESS BARBRA.

[djar63]

Yeah! we should bring back Democratic values to the White House. Maybe they could rehire Monique lewinsky, and find something for Bill Clinton to do.

[wildbrush81]

Bill Clinton yes... but why bring back Monica when Barney Frank is right there already.

[djar63]

Good point!

[biz663]

Who is Monique Lewinsky?

[airfuzz4]

Do yourself a favor and don't ridicule your party more than it does itself already...Obama for Change!!Lets bring the American values and principles back to our communities.

[djar63]

Your jealousy is showing. Quick, cover it up!!

[airfuzz4]

...to those who oppose Obama,Why are you so inclined to leave comments on this video?Have you not a nominee to follow and listen to? Wait I get it,McCain is too busy sitting in one of his private jets, trying to figure out how to send an email to his mortgage broker about what one of his many multi-million dollar homes he should sell...You guys have nothing to talk about or be excited about so you come to show your frustration that has no justification on anything that you say.

[airfuzz4]

I feel obligated to drop in my two cents on this commentary wall after reading many of the responses from people...First off I'd like to thank all of you who are supporting the Obama campaign...He showed strength and ability to take command of the ship and direct it towards a new horizon, He is our means of change...

[djar63]

They are so brain washed by this guy, I wouldn't be surprised what they would do. These same people (Hollywood) complain about the poor and they hoard millions. They want you to pay, but they won't. That's why I haven't gone to movies for the last 15 years. I won't support these creeps.

[krisgpm]

You have got to be kidding..At a dinner of $28K a PLATE and he has the utter gaul to say his opponent is out of touch with the MIDDLE CLASS!!!! ANd Babs!!! the zillion dollar a ticket 15 fairwell concerts Streisand...She so loves her fans SURE!!!! WAKE UP people...

[rbocanegra62]

how cool that Barbra only had to sing 3 songs and $9 million was raised for the greater good of the nation and the world. the hockey mom and mcnasty could never pull off something like this! bright days lie ahead for all of us & it couldn't come any sooner.

[wildbrush81]

MY FELLOW AMERICANS...

JOIN: Nancy Pelosi, Jeremiah "GOD DAMN AMERICA" Wright, Bill Ayers, Luis Farrakhan, Harry Reed, & Ohpra Winfrey!

JOIN: Hollywood's wealthy elitists!

JOIN: Hamas, Al Qaeda, & all Terrorist networks & America haters worldwide!

JOIN US ALL in supporting & electing...

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA President, United States of America, 2008!

(OMG, I just felt a tingle run up my leg)

[soar4fun]

Did you hear about the fundraiser on the USS Bradley? They were all pumped up but didn't pull the level. On November 5th, Vote Obama!

[cuddlesfreeman]

please, someone upload barbra singing, please

[akieya02]

So I guess some of you suggest just going to war with all these Countries (as if we have the soldiers to do so) and cause a WWIII? I swear, some of you people are so ignorant. If John McCain and his little gun totten wise ass pitbull with lipstick wearing VP start talking crazy to all these nations (while America is vulnarible), don't start crying when nations start attacking us on our own soil and instead of watching it on t.v the war is in your backyards. We are already in 2 wars already!

[funnyaran]

esos abrazos no son tan calidos como los que le daba a Bill Clinton, aiss

[itchpooch]

Are you democrats jerking around with all that money you have in the markets to make sure your puppet wins? seems odd that the gas market doubling since dems got congress. Now when your guy is losing ground, a new crisis arises? Is this make a problem, so you can be a hero and fix a problem? I guess you can accomplish anything if you have enough money.

[uwabbit]

Cool video! Man, there are some nasty right wingers on this site with their ill-informed remarks. We're donating so much money to Obama because he will be one of the best US presidents ever. McCain couldn't raise as much money, because all the Republicans know deep down inside that he's a liar who will do and say anything to be president. Obama rocks! Let's turn this country around & move forward. McDreamy - yes! McSteamy - oh yeah! McCain - no way! Peace.

[djar63]

Man are you a dreamer!!! Who says brain washing Doesn't work! This person is a perfect example.

[PaulHartXYZ]

Nice video. Thanks for posting it.

This event raise over NINE MILLION bucks.

Eat that Repukes.

[jdgfanatic]

The LEFT-ED HOLLYWOOD love the DEMS but HATE

America, they support BARRY HUSSEIN OBAMA,

because they know BARRY will work with them

to CHANGE our way of life to fit what they

believe.

[sandmite]

How funny these Demoncrats are.......in one ear, they say they are the champions of the poor....on the other hand, they raise more money than anyone else for campaigning. Wouldn't it be nice that the $30,000 per person be spent on the poor instead of Obama's muslim pocket?????? Fuck you all democrats liberals that eat our food but hate this country to poison and would like to see more 9/11s. I hope your good friend Hugo Chavez blasts a nuclear device here so you will see what is good assholes!

[steminc1]

McCain is running for President because he truly wants to fix the country not for personal gain.

On the other hand, Obama is in it strictly for himself. For him, it's just a career move. The American people are finally figuring that out. As usual, the Democrats will self-destruct.

"Stand up Chuck, let the people see you."

[phantommadness]

hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

[akieya02]

LOL @ any John McCain supporter asking the question "do you really want to take a gamble on Obama"? Seriously, STFU..half of you are in her mad because the republicans are losing this race right now because of their own ignorance. The only "gamble" here is McCain..who if he had his way, would have allowed AIG to fall through and cause financial ARMAGATON all over the world. Its too dangerous to have McCAin as president. Now get your jelous asses of this page :)

[sandmite]

It is dangerous to have McCain? But it is not dangerous to have Hugo Chavez who keeps talking shit involved in war games with Russia and taking over all of South America?? Right?? Or an islamic candidate like Obama! By the way..what do you eat? Remember, in a red communist society, there is NO food...only by rationing..no more restaurants, tv, no more markets, no more electricity etc..I don't say it...it is there...look at North korea, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. Facts are facts! That is what you get.

[djar63]

They make it pretty obvious.

[johnnyboyke]

When i saw Barbra with Bill in the past ; than i saw a radiant,passionnated Barbra ! now i saw : an actress ! sorry, but that is my impression . Obama is like a very beautyfull package : but what is inside when it's revealed ? do you wanna take the gamble ?

[johnnyboyke]

Change has never came with words , but only with strong reforms, switching people lives and with deads (strong,major deads) ! let's see if Obama can go for it and much better so : will the people make such Change , when it comes to it ? i rather believe a woman who is standing behind her points allmost for 30 years : Hillary ! maybee she's not allways good in what you believe, but at least she's a fighter for good causes and she has the brains and capacity to change things when needed !

[djar63]

All of the media is doing there best to get this guy elected. They don't even try and hide the fact anymore. I have never seen the news gush at anyone like they do over this guy to the point it gets embarrassing.

[djar63]

Since memorial Day to Sept:1, there has been 26 troops killed in Iraq, and 123 murders in Chicago (Obama's)home town and state during the same period where he was a senator for 8+ years. Real successful as a community organizer to, I guess. Wonder how he will organize the country. Good luck!

[johnnyboyke]

you make a point there !

[jamaljk85]

Obama: A successful marketing and public relations coup. Just goes to show that you can sell an ocean-front property in New Mexico to about 45% of the US population!

[JLDB1987]

True American values?

-Gay Marriage

-Abortion on demand up the the

9th month.

-Race-based preferences

-Deference to the UN over US sovereignty

-Equality of outcome over striving for excellence.

-Radical feminism (you know, the kind that is driven nuts by Sarah Palin)

-Multicultural relativisim, where an islamic culture that celebrates death and approves of cutting women's genitalia cannot be criticized (the phrase "radical islam' was not mentioned a single time at their convention)

[jamaljk85]

People stop pointing fingers.

The best person to vote for in this election is the guy who tried to do something about this 3 years ago - but the idiots in congress blocked it. Google FEDERAL HOUSING ENTERPRISE REGULATORY REFORM ACT of 2005.

[quest8899]

Obama is the man.

[JLDB1987]

I was going to attend, but I was busy clinging to my bible, setting up my vigilante group to get rid of the illegals, and cleaning my gun. Darn it, I was really was looking forward to hearing Babs!

[JLDB1987]

On honesty, integrity, actual, verifiable exerience and demonstarted record of working with the other party, and willingness to buck the party establishment, McCain trounces Obama. Where, Obama fans is any record, at all, of Obama forcefully going against the mainstrem left of the democrat perty? Oh, right- there is none.

Hope and change?  What a crock of crap.

[JLDB1987]

The MSM sends an army to Wasilla to dig up dirt on Palin, yet where is even a curiosity among the MSM about Ayers, Phleger, Rezko (who, besides his convictions, has deep ties to Islamists), his DEEP ties to Fannie and Freddie, etc? (cue crickets chirping)

Be honest lefties: Obama is not qualified. No record of achievment, and he only made it to the Senante because of scadals among his competitors, which his campiagn pushed in sleazy ways (sound familiar?)

Nice candidate, Dems.

[mizznini725]

Chi-town at its best...is how I describe Obamas cool and smooth demeanor!

[freshair345]

yes...Chicago at it's best! The peaceful warrior.

[freshair345]

May Love be his guide.

[Mahal2006]

So where are the celebrities that could be raising funds or helping out the Hurricane Ike victims in Gavelston and other parts of Texas?????

[freshair345]

Use your head...The celebrities always help,just not in a celebratory manner.(we don't necessarily hear about it as front page news. Now leave them alone.

[Mahal2006]

Uhm...okay

[wdcsucks1]

please people: check out who barak obamas top adviser is (zbigniew brzezinsky) and then make your opinion about barak obama. tel me who are your friends and i will tel you who you are? so here we go!!!

[1goheidigo]

He's going to represent the USA very well. No, he is not perfect, has and will make mistakes, but is a better choice. We just can't have more of the same.

[Monrocsol]

Obama is so boring!

[TheWayISeeIt1982]

yeah, and John McCain is sooo exciting!!!

[freshair345]

You're an idiot

[captwally68]

Where is bin laden when you need him?? Hollywood liberals , affirmative action babies running for president and the media holy crap we could have hit the trifecta

[quest8899]

Obama and the Democrats are the party of true American values.

[johnnyboyke]

sorry to say : but this is a farce between Barbra and Obama in my believe ( you can not turn in one night over from a dear friend and woman who stands for the same as you are ,into a man :who you maybee met just 1 time orso before ! i don't believe it ! But i adore Barbra because she is simply the best ever and the nominee should have been Hillary R. Clinton ! Than you would have seen a glowing and outstanding Streisand with true believe in the elections .

[Monrocsol]

Johnny Boyke, I agree with you. I love Barbra, but Hillary should have been the nominee. I will vote for Obama because I am a democrat and we cannot afford another Bush like president. But I don't believe Obama was the right nominee. He will not win.

[freshair345]

So dude, what should Barbra do instead? Not vote? Or better yet, vote for McCain? Think about what you are thinking about, before you spit it out.

[CaptainGrevious]

Going to Canada ? LOL...you fools said the same thing when Bush won. WHY are you STILL here ! Please...........go already !

[redmoonspider]

Thank you so much for recording this.

[soithoni]

The Next President of the United States. God, I hope so. He will make a great President.

[1ericwitherspoon]

After you watch this, take a few moments to relax and come check out my video.

PeaceNLuv,

E.

[Jamias]

I am so proud of Obama

[bostonfan1211]

first posting after it was on cnn

[knardez]

"The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversights report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives." - Mccain 2005

[takerdust]

The MESSIAH! THE MESSIAH HAS ARRIVED!

[sjackoe]

Read his books.What an empty suit.Also check his buddie list ,Some real great people Ha Ha.

If you cant see a looser after this advise .God help us all.

[pylonguy]

buddie? looser? advise?

what is it with Obama bashers and poor spelling?

[joshzilla1995]

go obama even thourgh i live in canada

[jcparkman]

I'll be in Canada with you if Obama loses my friend.

[magapac10]

Don't forget, these "celebrities" who are all of a sudden labeled as bad people, are the ones that also come through when this country has turmoil and devistation. They were the first to give to Katrina victims, farm-aid etc. So before you start your name calling, think about what a hypocrite you sound like.

[FlynnLindley]

Great speech, but there are NOT 48 days to go because of mail-in voting. Oct. 15 is the last real day of the campaign. Would make me feel better if Obama's campaign acknowleged it.

[TheVoice2012]

Oct. 15th?

[cassie120962]

FlynnLindley, October 15th is the first day to start most early voting. I think that is why all of the debates are scheduled before then. But the campaigning continue on for undecided voters or late voters.

If he don't want to get swiftboated by the Republicans, he should campaign well into the evening of Nov. 3rd.

[JLDB1987]

You mean have the truth come out about his record, since the MSM won't investigate or report it? Remember, the Swiftboat guys were all vets who were there with Kerry, and because he slandered them when he came back to the US, they could't let his total BS stories stand. The Swifties were 100% truthful.

Whine and cry when your less-than-acceptable positiosn are shown and mocked for what they are. That's why BO's army is out there trying to shut down any discussion of his history.

[hraban77]

The made up swift crap was debunked 4 years ago.

[betterdays105]

Notice that he shook the hand of the people in the band. A small action but evidence that Senator Obama recognizes the contributions of all.

[youngflymista]

True, that is a really small gesture but it says alot doesn't it.

[freshair345]

Yes...he is a prince among men.

[mschultz2k]

Why is this a big deal? Both campaigns do this to raise funds. I don't care either way.

[SkipW]

the rcons are trying to make a big deal on this but say little about a McCain fundraiser who raised 5 million in an ohio fundraiser from a man who laid off 1000 ohio workers

[CarribeanBeachbum06]

These rich Hollywood crowd owe me their money!

GO OBAMA! Tax the hell out of these rich celebs and give the money to those who deserve it!

[mickyster]

Lonestarebel? are you ..umm..ignorant? Reagan was a celebrity, kennedy was a celebrity.what in the world are you talking about? u should be proud that your Leader is well known here in america and around the world.

[lonestarebel]

the liberal celebs who attended this farce are begging not to be shown.....

be brave you rich morons! show us who you are!

[lonestarebel]

what pure d crap barack is.
