government isn't the solution. government is the problem. Tyranny evolves from democracy when the government is grown to have its hand in everyone's lives, health care, education...Obama makes the case that America should be more equal and the government should ensure this, he would rather spend money to put a floor on people's freedoms, shrinking the government, spending and taxes allows freedom from government. Careful about these Democrats and Republicans, big government is hard to stop
Even though i am british, when i watched this speech i was a very moving speech indeed. And i feel proud of obama , and also proud that america are going back to having great presidential leaders. May it stay that way.
"That's the true genius of America; that America can change...."
Six months later and this speech still makes me cry!!!
We are only now truly understanding that it will not be easy; we are only now realising that it will take time; it will be hard, for awhile. But, still, Yes we can. <3
dude im sorry to be a dick but no we cant the only way w can fix everything is if everyone in the world makes it better bush screwed up this country so bad its unfixable
While blind worshippers of corporate OWNED, political parties were shooting and sinking each others ''battleship'', we the people of America were cast adrift.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
Instead of destroying each other over mere politics and mere religions, we must ELEVATE each other with the TRUTH of LIFE.
Governments and religions can not define Life. Life must define the governments and religions to serve LIFE.
"change has come,keep your dignity,take the high road,take it like a man"~Puscifer:Momma Said~
now it is up to all of us to stop our selfish ways,relenquish our ethnocentric ignorance and get up off our lazy asses.together we can aspire to great heights and Barack H Obama is the man to inspire this change!he can only do so much,he is but one man!together,we can write a future for the world and for humanity..not the future of Revelation that we are staring at now.the purpose of life is to live!!
Well Im happy for all of you Americans, even though I have family there I tell you this, I hope for the best for you and your country and that the next year for all of you come good and that you have a new light that shines to you and that there is still hope within each and all of you, I hope for the best, I hope Obama are words of true and I hope he keeps them. Take care and all Peace to y`all.
We can all take a deep breath and sigh of relief that this transition went so well. We are going to get the change we asked for, I hope. America deserves nothing less. I hope the Democrats lead with dignity and fidelity.
John McCain's concession was honorable and I hope his followers accept, as he has, that the next 2 years are a mandate for real change. Dissent can be a healthy part of the process, but America has demanded a change and now deserves its application.
HAHAHAHAHAHA....racist is what's written on YOUR forehead not mine. accomodating my ass, obviously u do NOT know bush....just watch all the damage he will do these last two months he has. don't be childish, i am not talking about the diplomatic way he was accomodating to obama making him ready to proceed. i am talking about bush initiating another war before he leaves YOU RACIST NEOCON COCKSUCKING JACKASS. I KNOW U REPUBLICAN'S HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO THAN GIVING ALL OBAMA VIDEOS 1 STARS..U LOST
Noracism--all that is being done NOW is with Osamas approval you fool. Its crybabies like you that will always try to find excuses for Osamas shortcomings. You can bet your ridiculously stupid ass he is involved in every decision that goes on today. Osama is a liar and an arrogant one at that. Keep crying and keep whining in his behalf though--its your right. And btw-matt was right, youre a racist. Denying it only makes you a lying racist so you might as well admit it, you fool no one.
Geist632: you are the biggest racist i have come across. it's very sad that racist people like you walk around this earth with humans. stop your racist ways...in 2008, racism is something that should be of the past.
you are like a neocone grandma..stuck in 1908.
you are very very racist..you really shold find your way.
as far as your comment, i couldn't understand a word, i have a doctorate, maybe we are not on the same level of discussion..please go back to school. stop being a racist...
Noracism your doctorate is in stupidity. You read one post and assume I am a racist. Look at what I wrote you dweeb and show me racist anywhere in it. Youre obviously a challenged dork and should accept the fact youre a racist crybaby. Btw--youre exactly right, we arent on the same level. Youre on the level of the blind and ignorant. I speak the truth. Now, you go back to school and get a refund on your "doctorate" as they took your money big time.
i will report you for your racist comments on youtube.
i don't understand a word u write...it makes no sense...please go back to school and mayb once u get there we can have a conversation where i understand you.
LOL...noracism do what you think you have to do you pathetic loser. Your posts are riddled with hints of childishness. You definately dont have a doctorate which makes you a hypocritical liar at best. You cant understand me but yet you reply to posts of mine--You humor me noracism, post something else I can laugh at.
I have one ya noob--Perhaps it is YOU who stalks me you pathetic creature. If you cant take replies to your ridiculously stupid comments you should quit posting. YOUR racist views arent agreed upon by everyone.
LOL..Noracism..how can I stalk you when you keep coming back for more? What are you, 12? Ive heard the 1908 thing once already--do something different will ya? Doctor dweeb-
LMAO nor-- Youre the very definition of hypocrite. Youre doctorate is not worth the toilet paper it was written on. Youre another youtube fake. You cant stalk a stalker so you might as well try another angle. That one isnt going to work. Loser.
I am as cynical as they come and am never moved by political speeches, but this one moved me. I really think he's going to be a great president, not perfect of course, but it's apparent he really cares about the future of our nation and that is not something I would say about most politicians..
This is the third time i'm watching this speech and i have tears in my eyes. I'm an Iranian girl, who could hardly go to sleep last night waiting to see the result and in the morning i finally felt relieved, now i know that there is no threat of war against my country, at least not from America. THANK YOU PEOPLE OF AMERICA!:)
OMG I'm so glad he won. I couldn't bear the thought of Eskimo Barbie being president after grandpa McSame dies of old age. It's funny that McCain married a beer heiress. I think he had beer goggles on during his campaign, thinking he'd win out over Obama. LOL
"It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today."
I have never been proud to be an American befor. I will remember this for the rest of my life. Obama, I am but a single mom struggling for a hold on success, what can i do for you?
hes more of human being than you are or will ever be! this guy will lead not only the U.S, but everyone against both the War and Finacial crisis.. Go Obama and go U.S
at least he is people, you are nothing but a frustrated being with no dreams or future. am i wrong? otherwise you would not write this jealousy stuff.
Great speech. Not a word about fear or threat or "difficult times", just a promise of continued freedom and happiness, peace, uniting and achievement. If this guy lives up to his promises, the next four years will be a historic time.
On a broader picture, I hope Americans also realize: as a world citizen, YES WE CAN!
Tonight it just proves again we all learn from mistakes. A better U.S. of A. is a part of a better world! Thanks Americans for letting us know who Americans really are!
loved this speech so much ive been refreshing the search page over and over again knowing eventually it would be posted and i could watch it again. this was my 3rd chance to vote but the first time i ever cared to actually do it and im so glad that i did. what a moment, for us all. even those who did not want him to win, you cant deny you will benefit from this great leader, our president of the united states
If you dislike this, you're an asshole. In other words: if you're a Republican, you're either filthy rich, greedy, or politically ignorant.
