  • I'd vote for this guy...

  • OBAMA 2012

  • Furthermore, when clinton's administration sought to raise the home ownership rate through gov't intervention it lead to artificial rates that we now know as the housing bubble. which Bush also aggressively pursued that lead to the recession we are in now. economists actively change how we add up our unemployment rate and etc. so it benefits their agenda. so now everyone is proclaiming obama and his corporatist policies helped us. we shouldn't fight capitalism but corporatism.

  • he bails out corporations by printing money from thin air that will lead to a deprecation of the dollar and inflation of priced goods. which will ultimately affect the middle class and lower class.

    also have you guys read about the depression of 1920? it lasted one year and you know why? because we let the free market pick itself up again instead of intervening which prolongs it like the depression of 1930's. read up on Austrian economics with an open mind and u'll realize you've been lied to.

  • You know, this video reminds me of what a great president HERMAN CAIN will be. Go Herman 2012!

  • End the pain. Vote for Cain! Herman Cain 2012

  • Owebama is the worst president in all history!

  • Y pluribus unum. Out of the many - One. Obama for re-election as President in 2012.

  • I want to shake his hand and thank him...He is the man...Obama for 2012 president

  • Thanks for sending us deeper into these wars Obama just like you said you would in your campaign thanks oh wait thats right u said you would have our troops home within x amount of months i take that back you are just another typical politician placed in by the powers that be

  • I knew he would eventually be president as soon as I heard this speech. One of the greatest political speeches of all time.

  • "That is the true genius of America, a faith -- a faith in simple dreams, an insistence on small miracles" Way to play up the greatness of the most exceptional nation in the history of the world. Not only do your speeches show how much of a eurocrat elitist you are, but they show how little faith President Obama has in the USA.

  • 3:56

  • @Anon371 turn fox news off for once in your life.

  • @mRspeN07 We don't get Faux News in Oz

  • @Anon371=KEEP SUCKING HILLARY CLINTON'S BALLS!

    YOUR FAMILY IS A PIECE OF SHIT!

  • @geraldineferrarosuck My family is dead.

  • He's a patient guy, waiting to play it right. Can't say the same thing about the American people.

  • maybe he should do more than give speeches and talk to ambassadors. if you are going to pull the troops out, don't leave 50,000 there

  • Y pluribus unum - Out of many, One.

  • what happen to this Obama : (

  • @ogamawab what happened to this? it's very easy to tell everyone what they want to hear and rattle off all of these heartfelt sentences but in the end, you need more than the ability to speak well to be a good president.

  • And all we got was Chump Change. President Obama - Corporate Whore and Bankers Wet Dream.

  • This is the SIGNATURE speech. With this speech Obama answered present to list only great Presidents but great men.

  • So let's see... 8 years of Bush... tax cuts for the rich, 2 wars, an economic crisis and a huge deficit. 1.5 years Obama... health care and financial reform. Reforms, not as big as many may have wanted, but still reforms in the good direction.

  • looks like his speechwriters earned their money there didnt they?

  • @mRspeN07 He wrote it. Do some research before you say something stupid...

  • @mRspeN07 ... he was a nobody when this speech was written...he wrote this in the hotel room the night before...

  • @tjohnzvamm okayy okayy i didnt know that. even more impressive in his part then, one hell of a speech to right...

  • @tjohnzvamm Wow - and he's still a nobody.

  • i remember watching this speech on tv and being like HE should run for president

  • @BuddyPC: The worst attack on American histroy ever on W. Remember 9/11, he sure kept us safe!!! W's adminstration tore this country down from the top 2% he gave the taxes cut to, to the POOR MIDDLE CLASS who he never cared about. President Obama has given taxs cuts to 95% of the middle class and gitmo is just another mess he has to try and fix. It will take awhile to clean up this nightmare (W & CHENY) ; but things are getting better everyday and he will do it!!!

  • @BuddyPC: Bush took office with 4.2 unemployment;Left with 6.1. Arrived with a 281billion dollar budget surplus, (FROM CLINTON) Left with a 357 billion dollar deficit and the wars that killed over 4000 Americans and god knows how many others, were not even in the budget!!!The National deit went from 5.7 trillon when Clinton left office to 9.7 when Bush left. The Stock market crashed , as did the housing market (all the deregulation from W & Cheny,and lets not forget Tom Delay!!!!

  • B.Obamas Health Care Attempt... Will you trust this government policy? Go to my youtube channel page to Find out just why your opinons matters !!

  • I wake up everyday and thank GOD he is our PRESIDENT!!! Give him time and he will turn this country around...no president has had the mess of the BUSH administration to clean up like him. That is why God has sent him to us!!!

  • @52jamaica

    I'm having a hard time remembering the 11% unemployment, fiscal irresponsibility, expected punitive taxation, sustained economic contraction, and unavailable credit of the Bush years.

    Gas is still 3 bucks a gallon. The Obamas are getting rich manipulating the oil market for their energy cronies.

    How's that Gitmo closing coming along?

  • Obama is the best (YES WE CAN!!!!!) I LIKE OBAMA IS THR BETTER THENE W.BUSH

  • @mistergunboy1111 : your either on drugs or misinformed to believe his bullshit.

  • How easily we are seduced by youthful good loks. If Al orJesse gave this speech nobody would listen.

  • Not the looks or Big ears LOL, but intelligence, something us Americans were not used to... having W as the Pres. How sweet it is now!!!!

  • It's incredible how we are all seduced by youthful good looks. If Jesse delivered this speech nobody would listen.

  • Its because jesse Jackson cheats on his wife and pretty much uses to spot light to promote himself

  • awsome ...even if hes not peferfect!!!! lol....its the dream of his words that keep hope alive

  • Quoting Bill Maher:

    "We need a little less hope and a little more audacity!"

    Put some spine back in the Dems!

  • Gotta give prop to the speech writer too !

  • fuck me you are good obama this speech just helped me write the best introduction of my life

  • Akunmamtata. and thats why he got elected.

  • George Bush's father had lots of stocks in the oil companies, which is why he started getting interested in Iraq after the Gulf War.

    When his son, George W Bush, got into the white house through cheating, his father has influence in all the TV Companies except for Fox, and at the end of the election Fox said the democratic candidate Al Gore had won, all the other companies later said george won.

    Can you see the connection?

    This is exactly what's bad with Democracy.

  • Look I'm just gonna say this, this one time.

    It took one DEMOCRAT to fix the mess made by a bush and it will take another DEMOCRAT to fix the mess made by the younger Bush.. you might say he hasnt done anything i say open your eyes and wake the fuck up this entered that House with so many problems on his shoulders that its going to take time for it all to be fixed and so America can return to the Clinton years... Obama's the best man for the job people. who else do you have in mind? palin?

  • what you said is so so true the MSM never acknowledges what a broken damaged country he was handed on day one...it will take years to repair and reach any kind of recovery- and at this point he can fix this alone...so far he has worked every day for us...I have never seen a president work this hard....listening to these Key points that Chris added to the video- it's amazing how on target he was...we have a long way to go....but our work did not end simply with a vote on nov4th 2008...

  • @dymondz87

    Actually Ron Paul.

  • @dymondz87 could you please say it again because all i read was bullshit

  • @dymondz87 someone who wasnt put into office by wall street someone who really stands by what they say not someone who does the opposite of what he says 

  • @dymondz87 That democrat certainly did not have any sexual relations with that woman after all then? Maybe Clinton should have spent more time creating a budget

  • @dymondz87 That democrat certainly did not have any sexual relations with that woman after all then? Maybe Clinton should have spent more time creating a budget before W. got us into an even bigger mess, but wait, he was too busy cheating on his wife instead!

  • @dymondz87 Yeah it took us at least eight years to get into this mess so it is going to take us at least eight year to get out of it although with the way the House and Senate are acting it i going to take even longer unless they get their hit together and quit fighting like children and put the need of their people before their party loyalties.

  • @dymondz87 still SO true. people dont realize how bad the recession was. If you went 4 years after the great depression, of COURSE things didnt get better. There is no recession now...he prevented a depression and he will lead us out of this mess

  • "MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE IN 2008"

    I'm glad "WE" did... this man is genius.

    President Brack Obama

  • what's with the music? that alone moves you to tears

  • Enya - Now We Are Free

  • he hasn't done anything because he's been cleansing the White House of all that horse shit that had been thrown around in there for the past eight years. anybody know who didn't do shit ... i'll hint you up ... it has a W. kinda.

  • I love u guys! :'(

  • haha ppl just dnt know it takes time for chanqe likee wht tha fck is yah problems. He's only One!

  • what is the name of the song in the background?

  • it sounds like the soundtrack from lord of war

  • The song is called "Now We Are Free" by Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard from the Movie Gladiator.

  • Thank you!

  • He's gay

  • 2004 he was around in 2004 in the convention

  • HAHA I just watched te rest, this guy is a character

  • it was good

  • I voted for obama, however it's become obvious he is a blessed speaker, but let's face it, he is full of shit just like all the other politicians.

  • What has he lied about?

  • Nothing! He is the only president in history to fulfill all he has said he would do! Its just that people always speak on something without looking into it more or researching it to see if what they are saying is correct! I would like to see them as president since all they want to do is eat off the plate but do not want to serve the food! They never offer ideas to fix something, just complain about it! They only speak out of ignorance!!

  • He hasn't DONE shit right yet... he sure knows how to mess things up... Change is just a lie to get college and old people to vote for him......

  • No one has ever walked the earth being liked by everyone! So why don't congress listen to people and pass a law to give every one 300,000 dollars just to listen to their complains? If they did the nation would not only be in a 22 trillion dollar bankrupt, but it will take nearly 3 centuries to pay it all back, all because people cry for what they want for like babies, because baby do not know what really is a bad decision! In your case, there are things you just don't understand at present!

  • so we would be just like now when he gave money to the car companys and passing this health care??

  • but if he was Mc Cain he would already be right just because of the color of his skin

  • hope your not saying that the color of his skin matters to me.. Because it does NOT matter... His ideas are just not working out very well.....

  • I like how he dis's corporate america in the end when he talks about there are though who are preparing to divide us. The propaganda is created by lobbyist in order to stay with the status qua. Government programs are always brought in in time of crisis. Obama hasn't brought in anymore than Bush brought in, the differences is Obama is using it to rebuild America infrastructure and Bush used in on a War on terror. The funny thing is, i think Obama helps us just as a symbol against terrorism

  • ur right.

    taking care of 46m people who do not have adequate healthcare, worsened by the fact of the credit crisis, is socialist. America, turning socialist, like other countries in the Eastern Bloc with national insurance schemes i.e. Singapore, UK and France.

    You from the South? a product of your grandmother's daughter union with her your uncle? Do you know what socialist means? Why is it scary being one, btw? Dumbass...

  • I'm sorry. I'm not from the south but I was born bleeding red, white, and blue. This is not the america I want, not the america my parents and grandparents worked hard for. Hopefully, your views about socialism will change, because socialism was not the intention of the framers of this country. And of course you'll respond, " neither was having a black president", but face it; american is not made to be socialized

  • You don't like socialism huh?

    Well then tell your local city government to dismantle 911, public schools, police & fire departments, water utilities, sewage treatment plants, etc. And then call the federal govertment and tell them you don't want the CDC or FDA. Us individuals can inspect our own food and make sure it doesn't contain ecoli right?

    We were never a pure capitalist society. And your grandparents grew up listening to FDR, who was also called a "socialist" b/c of SocSec.

  • you seem to be very confident in urself. However, public service is a commodity that should not be tagged as socialism if people really understood the context. Socialized healthcare is a scary thought because that will lead to a higher cost of lifting, and perhaps a butcher with a knife doing your surgery, just like canada and britain, who people will proclaim, has vastly worse care than in the United States.

  • Confident? With all due respect I'm just stating the facts as they are (you didn't refute paragraphs 2 &3).

    Socialism defined: basic means of production are primarily owned and controlled collectively, usually by government under some system of central planning. Education, water treatment, etc. fall under that definition. I agree, those things are public commodity.

    Furthermore, our VA is also socialized since our tax dollars go to hiring doctors and owning the hospitals for the VA.

  • I am from the South. Student at the University of Tennessee and i don't buy you B.S. Obama is trying to help this country. This country needs change. Listening to propaganda that the insurances companies put out about our socialism makes me sick. What furthers my disgust is the amount of people that believe it. So maybe if you do some research or even take a basic western civ class you can learn about what socialism really is, instead of making you uneducated assumptions on what it is.

  • if you dont like socialism, then dont use government funded programs like your fire station, your police station, and your school

  • Could not have said it better!!!!

  • this stillll gives me goosebumps...

  • what an emotional speech...i keep listennin all the time. i love when he says """"we are all one"""""

  • It is the SIGNATURE speech.

  • The most Amazing and electrifying speech in American History!!!!!!!!!

  • belive or not, i cried ..........

  • Great, historic, speech! Go President Obama!!!

  • they didn't even show this on network tv at the time. i watched it on PBS with a friend because we wanted to see our Senator speak on national tv.

  • maybe the best political speech of our generation (generation Y)

  • HOPE 2012!

  • One thing about the white man in the white house is that these motherfuckers love to go to war...they love running their mouths about nothing....fuck wars ...use that money for health, educaion...and jobs.....O B A M A 2016

  • This is the most inspirational speech.

  • im flagging this for being the best vid!! LOL ;)

  • Con-vent-ions exist so con-men can vent, spewing a lot of drivel.

  • what about comic con?

  • What about that, johnny. You tell us since you brought it up.

  • well THATS a convention. and ive heard nothing but good things while i was there. hope obamas there. that would be cool. dont you think, lumbigaloo?

  • Comic Book Johhny aka Johnny Know-no:

    No, johnny. Not cool. You dig?

  • shut up, virgin. well goodbye!

  • I know some Sci-fi fans who would like to see him a comic con

  • Great video!

  • Yes we Did.

  • "Yes we Did".....it feels so good.

  • love this guy, he's real

  • whats the name of the background song?

  • Enya-We are free now

  • From Gladiator?

  • yes its part of the soundtrack

  • used to watch this video studying for med school final exams last year... brings hope everytime. Hope hope hope.

  • Is this the music from the movie Gladiator? Remember when Maximus was dying and he saw his wife and son? LOL... lighten up guys. Let's see how this all unfolds with our new first black President at the helm. He's in..nothing anybody can do now. Sit back and observe.

  • "Never go to war without enough troops to win the war and secure the peace."

    Back in 2004 he's talking about Iraq. Within all the nice language and gladiator music lies the nastiness, he'd have invaded Iraq as well then.

    "and win the respect of the world"

    Invading Iraq has been proven to be under concocted evidence to secure the oil and wipe out a rival no more horrible than the western governments. The problem lies with governments all of them in every guise.

  • Government is a problem, that is why the Founders of the USA chained down our government with the Constitution. Alas, criminals are in office and forcefully spreading tyranny around the world. Obama will continue the tyranny. We are in 130 different countries protecting our EMPIRE, why? We can't even get it right at home and we want to spread democracy, when we are a Constitutional Republic and democracy is EVIL, it is the rule of the majority, tyranny of the MOB!

  • Hey Red...

    He was in the senate in 2004 and voted against the invasion.

    Yes We Did.

  • i voted for obama

    and im argentinian LOL

    he OWNDs THE WORLD

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBAMAM God bless you

  • It is so very sad how many of you have been deceived. Obama is the same as Bush and is the same as Clinton and the same as Bush Sr. They all share a common goal: To enslave the people and take away their rights and LIBERTY. Biden already told us his decisions will be very unpopular but will be the right decisions. Right for enslaving us, but we the People DO NOT SHARE HIS GOALS! Obama is only paying lip service to the Constitution. Get ready for more lies and Obama making it sound so nice!

  • This speech shows what obama is all about. He's not going to have it easy because politics is a very dirty ball game, doesn't matter what country all politians are evil they will say what they want to say but in the end they do all they please. However i feel something different with President Barack Obama. He seems honesty but washington is going to fight him very hard. May GOD help him to make america better and the rest of the world. (oh yeah the audio in background is from gladiator)

  • I remember watching this with my family in 2004 and we were predicting a very good career for this man. We poked around the idea of Obama being the next president and laughed it off. Little did we know what he did acomplish today. I might not agree with his politics but he is a very interesting and charasmatic guy and is worth putting some money on.

  • probably the best speech Obama has ever given...

  • Make the right choice in 2008?

    We did

  • Cool video. I stumbled onto this unknown musician but I swear he is going places. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" This guy is very talented.

  • wow, this is the speech that started it all!! go OBAMA!!!!

  • This man is a primo con -- he knows how to manipulate with words. He doesn't feel what he says--he gets his thrill from pushing our buttons. Sorry. He's on a power trip. He produced no results, has no record of action. He's just words.

  • How could he have produced results before becoming president what are you talking about man ? this is the real thing, don't let the past idiots not give someone who wants to do the right thing a chance !

  • Produced no results? This is the first politician in my lifetime that truly won the hearts and minds of not just America, but the world. Barack Obama loves people and works hard for the embetterment of humankind. A politician of fifty years knows how to do the status quo for better or worse. Politics is a corrupt world, and I am confident that Obama's political "inexperience" may be exactly what this country needs. He has not been corrupted and is already making positive change since 1/20.

  • what your saying might make sence if he was running for president back then when he gave this speech, but he was not he was just the key not speaker for John Kerry, so i think he was beinf really sincere about what he was saying.

  • Like Marcus Aurelius led the Romans to prosperity, Barack Obama will lead America to everything that it used to be: A Dream!

    Very Good choice of music.

  • I love that last part from like 4:00 to the end. SO powerful. If someone has great ideas and is this great of a speaker, they can do amazing things.

    God bless America!

  • When I saw this back in July 2004, I told my mother that I had just seen the next great leader, and president of the U.S. She looked at it too and agreed.

  • energetic fun smart and loves this video

    seen it yesterday! lets chat h9

  • very beautifully created

  • YES WE CAN!

    It feels like my country again.

    Ohio = blue state!

  • all mn arent created equal D:< they even did this to the declaration of independence

  • In the first weeks he has already shown his thoughtful and strategic thinking. It is perfect that he combines intellectuality with the ability to touch people's heart.

    I am German, and many people here are enthusiastic about the USA!

    Thank you for this president, who is born to be a politician!

  • We have another president that will further take away our rights and Germans are happy about it. This is so very sad...

  • Thank you America for making the right choice. Thanks to all those who made this possible, to all those who wanted their America back the beacon of hope to the world. Presedent elect Obama and VP elect Biden have alot of work to do it wont be easy cleaning up from the past eight years of a failed addministration but together YES WE CAN. God bless the United States Of America

  • YES WE CAN! Obama Brings HOPE through America, even in times of needs!

  • By the way, if you listen closely. You'll see the same speech style as John F. Kennedy!!!

  • I've always wanted to see someone like JFK. I think America has found the person. I want him to be in office for 8 years.

    Thank you President Obama. I am behind you 100%.

  • He inspire me so much that your hope and dream are possible if you keep it in you.

  • He's my president.

  • ditto. =)
