@NYerintransit The republican party is done....Obama has raised the bar no president has ever had the presence and poise like Obama none of the republican are presidential they lie and can not speak clear on real issues. When republicans start telling the truth thy may have a real chance to compete with democrats.
Very classy speech. As a President Obama supporter, I admire John McCain for his speech and tact here. This was one of the highlights of that night. Wish McCain was running again...he puts the current candidates to shame.
When Obama mentioned McCain's name in his victory speech, the crowd cheered. When McCain mentioned Obama, the crowd booed. That just goes to show you who has class between liberals and conservatives. Fox News zombies are revolting.
@Saebeck32 To be fair Obama had just won so those who voted for him were fine with saying McCain is a good man, as he wasn't going to be President. However McCain supports were upset that their man wasn't heading to the white house so they weren't exactly in a bipartisan mood.
@Saebeck32 A good number of conservatives (myself included) didn't support Mr. McCain. Those are Establishment Republicans and Moderates who were there
@Saebeck32 At least McCain himself dismissed the booing, which shows John McCain himself has better class than the people who bash him. How about all the liberals who break windows and throw human feces at military recruiting stations, burn American flags, and set streets on fire? Yeah that is what I call classy.
@MJB919 Get real nutjob. Liberals don't do that. Remeber when that nutjob lady came up to McCain at his rally and said "I can't trust Obama, he's an Arab." McCain responded "He's not an Arab, he's a good man.".....yeah, really classy John.
@Saebeck32 Umm, yes some of them do. Haven't you ever heard of the radical left wing communist group the World Can't Wait? Their protests are posted all over youtube and they are flat out disgusting. I'm not saying all liberals are like that, I'm also not saying that radical conservatives are any better.
I'm actually not even really a conservative. I consider myself libertarian.
@MJB919 Do you think "World Can't Wait" in anyway represents mainstream liberals? Do you think "The Fox News Tea Party" in anyway represents mainstream conservatives? No! These are fringe groups that deserve to criticized. Let's not lump in reasonable people with nutjobs.
I'm still trying to comprehend HOW those 8 Bush years just happened. Bush RUINED the entire world with his ignorance and thick cowboy head. We had a RETARDED MANIAC as a leader! First he takes never-ending vacations, then he lets all hell break loose. What an irratic clown!
Obama has twice the brain capacity Bush had, and he actually CARES. Bus was a silver-spoon brat, and he still is.
We are making a come-back from the brink of extrinction! No thanks to the obstructionist RIGHT!
I would rather have a McCain/Palin administration, but even with the results, you at least have to give it ti McCain that this is a very gracious concession speech. He is such an honorable american!
Anyone who watches this years from now, must remember that for all the celebrations of the Obama election, there was the other-side who was very disappointed. It is a portent of the stalemate in congress later on.
@MJFan625Moonwalker Just because America went with someone else that you probably did not vote for doesn't mean that it's a wrong choice. Your comment is completely biased based on your own political interest.
Wow talk about someone with high character. He shushed his own supporters for the sake of respect for his opponent who had just convincingly beaten him. That deserves credit.
I enjoyed seeing him having to say uncle that now was a great day for america, and that airhead running mate of his just had to stand there and smile for the camara classic tv for sure.
@fairmont66 so tell me how do you idiots like the 'change' from that asshole so far? eh dont worry theres only 35% of you left who still hope for what isnt going to come from him. so the reality is you = S-U-C-K-E-R........... oh and im a proud independent.
i am an evangelical christian, i am white, and i am part of a family with a strond involvement in the military and i voted for barack obama and will do so again in the next election - but - i respect john mccain very very much and this was a great speech
One of the best concession speeches in human history.
I'm a Canadian through and through, but I love the USA. I've been there many times, and it's one of the greatest and friendliest countries on the planet. Coast to coast, north to south, most Americans I've met would drop everything to help a total stranger without asking anything in return.
Anyone who hates the USA has obviously never been there.
@5COT5MAN lol dude u were supposed to put "definitely not get another term" like i said well see next year ......................let's go obamaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@5COT5MAN I think it would by hysterical if she ran for office. Since she quit being governor, she has become a frieken REALITY STAR. NOT a politician, a reality star. She can jabber on and and on and talk in circles the way she always does but I would hope that if she does run, Americans who like her would be smart enough to realize that our country would go sooooo far down the drain if that woman became the most powerful person on the planet.
So classy you Conservatives. Booing? Really? That's a way to gain votes for next elections. If Republicans want their own version of change then maybe the dumbasses who booed can get up and run for President. Until then STFU.
As good as Obama's speech was, John McCain's speech was more touching. It was gracious, dignified, and respectful. He acknowledged the significance of that day for African-Americans who have long suffered under the hands of the American government and its people. The older generation of African-Americans who experienced the dark shadow of American history deserved to see that night and I couldn't help but feel sorry that MLK hadn't lived to see the America he had longed for.
The race could've been much tighter, but Obama would've won it anyway. After 8 years of Bush (R) admin., there was more demanding for something different, something that wasn't closely tied to what it had been like.
Also, think about this: How the hell could you even imagine winning the biggest election with an utter idiot as your running mate? Palin was the gun McCain used to shoot him in the head.
what the fuck, this was an amazing speech that was ruined by such an ignorant-ass fucking audience. I swear to god Republicans are the worst. fucking pinheads.
@desireejoyorozco Completely agree! But honestly, I think anyone who is NOT Republican is too optimistic in hoping they can overcome their incorrigibility, senses of entitlement and superiority over the entire world, and overall disrespect for anyone who is not like them. I'm a hardcore Democrat, and I really admired John McCain. I respect President Bush; I didn't like his policies, but I respect the office of the president. That's something Republicans need to learn: RESPECT!
seriously fuck white people. get the fuck over your racist dumb ignorant mother fucking asses off and go burn yur crosses and fuck your farm animals. peices of shit.
@JackDammitRun dude its not a white thing..I'm colored too and I already know they wre just pissed off that a Dem won. Maybe color swayed them, but I believe more out of the fact that they are unsure about his background
THIS was to Mc Cain I voted for in the primary. During the election, he turned into someone I hardly recognized and I voted for Obama. Had he made a better VP selection and stuck to his principles, he may have become President. I voted for Obama and though I am not happy with all he has done, I am not sorry. I will vote Obama again in 2012.
I have been having to watch all the speeches made by both candidates from the beginning of the campaign for an essay - and in doing that, I saw the development of McCain from a stumbling old idiot, to a respectable man of honour. Though I am not a Republican, this speech moved me as he no longer had to pretend to be something he is not, but spoke of the truth that evident.
@SHAKZZ8925 and then the next morning, he went back to being a two-faced flip-flopping weasel. somewhere along the line he decided that being in office was more important than maintaining even a shred of honor.
he is such a respectful, eloquent man. president or not, i have a huge respect of this man. cheers to him, and how far he's come! 9and GOD BLESS HIM for serving our country!!!!!!!!!)
@mrsslunashootingstar You can call me what you want but NOTHING will change the fact that on NOVEMBER 4, 2008 became the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!! So go on with your name calling and mug slinging, YOU CAN'T CHANGE HISTORY!!!!! Deal with it!!!!!
Whooo, we dodged a bullet. Luckily, McCain is not our president and Palin not our Vice President. Let me give you reasons why it's a good idea that they're not our president. McCain is too old and he might not survive his first term and if Palin takes over as president, she will fuck us all up. The best thing for both of them to do is just sit back and let OBAMA do his job. In my opnion, McCain should retire and Palin should come have dinner with me.
BTW, I would like to add that Sarah Palin is a cantankerous bitch with no moral grounding and she has no soul and is motivated by money, greed, and ego alone. She is an absolute moron that has no place in the political realm. Some may claim that the 2008 election was a success because of Obama's election. Nay, I claim that the opening of pandora's box under the handlers of McCain's election committee has given us the herpes of American politics: Sarah Palin. She could be in Alaska right now...
Everyone here who is bashing McCain is wrong. I remember... driving through Portland, Oregon with my best friend, AM radio tuned and listening to the election as we raced back to my buddy's place. When it was announced (wwaaaaaayyyy earlier than we thought) that Obama was president. We got back to my buddy's house just in time to catch this McCain speech, and we ALL thought it was a GREAT speech. An amazing display of humility. Give some respect to McCain here. He finally was himself again.
@foxh8er yes, I do. I'm not totally happy with everything I've done and I wish more had happened, but I must admit that I think things have gotten better over the past two years. Everyone else is entitled to their opinion though.
@chuhboemember6 Agreed, I voted for Obama all the way, but I have to admit this speech was one of the best speeches of the entire campaign. I liked it much better than Obama's victory speech.
i mean mccain is cool in my opinion and i guess he meant well,even though he picked sarah palin as vice president -_-...........but holy fuck that adudience sure does look shady lmao.....mad creepy,i mean their all LITERALLY WHITE lmao = O
America is FAR from overcoming the days of Booker T Washington. Now, instead of African-Americans, we have chosen a new group: anyone who looks remotely Arabic or Persian.
@TheMuscleBound I doubt they're all skinheads, but it's funny that he had to admit that this was a major victory for African Americans. And they say this wasn't a race election. Oh well. I'm just worried about the election of 2012. No doubt Sarah Palin will throw in her name, but I doubt even being the Queen of The Tea Party will be enough for her to get her ass elected. Love her or hate her, I gotta admit that Palin is an attractive woman, i'd hit it....I wouldn't vote for her, but I'd hit it.
McCain is a great man, against any other opponent, I may have been tempted to vote for him. His graceful speech put a close on all of the hatred the Republican supporters and rightfully so. Mr. McCain, I hope you make it through your Senator election soon.
Why do you people think you're so great for voting for a black man. Congratulations America for being the last country on earth to stop being racists. Unfortunately voting for a black man doesn't prove you're not a a racist, voting for one to prove you're not a racist only proves you are a racist. You will always be racists
Why can't they boo, Obama was not their choice. They have a right to express their feelings even if you don't agree. That's what freedom is, it goes both ways.
A majority of whites who were conservative and of the religious right voted for McCain while Obama’s base was mostly multicultural. The final election statistics showed: 95% of African-Americans voted for him, 67% of Hispanics/Latinos voted for him, 62% of Asian-Americans, 54% of Catholics, 78% of Jewish voters and 70% of gays and lesbians. These may be the same numbers for November 2012 if the Republican party nominate another white candidate whose campaign is again full of fears and smears.
@frijolero791 - I just love watching this video. You know what they say about pay back. Ha ha ha - I say this because during the campaign, they talked about Obama so bad. Making up all kinds of rumors that is not true. Now look what happen - they still lost - and they still playing the same old dirty games today (its even worse now with the tea party) Don't they know that all this crap will come back up in 2012? They will lose even worst next time if they keep it up!
Well, just by looking at the crowd.. thats not the America we know... You dont see any diversity at all. at 4:10 you hear a guy say "Burn that N****R!" (N word). Alot of hate and we can only hope those generations die and dont pass on that hate.
Notice how the audience (all white btw) booed Obama's name, but Obama's audience applauded at the mention of mccain in the victory speech. that certainly speaks volumes about the character of both sides...
@DarthClam Lets face a harsh reality. We are just flat out BETTER than they are. We are better human beings.
And yes this was actually the best speech of the night to me as far as just the speech and grace of it. But of course Obama's wins out because he won lol
Now if McCain kept his rallies this respectful when referring to his opponent, he would have probably still lost, but it wouldn't have been such a landslide as it was.
At least this speech, he had the respect to calm the booer's in the crowd--something he should have done when his supporters were shouting "kill him" that neither McCain or Palin would try to calm.
i already knew if obama was elected president.. A RISE of racial hostility .. am really dissapointed on people that think sarah palin is smart and worthy to be the president of the u.s.
I am not American, but I honestly think America would have turned out the same way whether or not Obama won or McCain won...because like my mate footballermaz, you can't beat destiny! lmao! Rule Britannia! GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN! Each and everyone you must realize America may have been a superior country 9 1/2 years ago...but with the help of Bush, Obama and your democratic congress have worked so diligently at destroying that! haha! Good luck America you'll need it! ;)
John McCain would have made a very good president, I think he could have won if obama was not the other candidate. you just cant beat destiny can you. and one more thing, thumbs up if you think the crowed are a bunch of assholes!
McCain is not a gracious anything. He is a fence-riding, mud-slinging, racist, lying, traitorist, back-stabbing, corporate whipping boy, who is only concerned with John McCain. If he is truly not bigoted, why bring up his race at all. The supporters who 'Booed", are inbred white trailer trash. Jerks!!!!!!
This could not have been more tactful. I wasn't crazy about McCain being in office, but I do believe had he won, our country would not have gone to shit. I only had a major issue with Sarah.
i would call myself a democrat ( i don't, im british), but i still have a lot of respect for McCain. He is a smart guy....I just fucking hate his running mate...

I have been having to watch all the speeches made by both candidates from the beginning of the campaign for an essay - and in doing that, I saw the development of McCain from a stumbling old idiot, to a respectable man of honour. Though I am not a Republican, this speech moved me as he no longer had to pretend to be something he is not, but spoke of the truth that evident.

Whooo, we dodged a bullet. Luckily, McCain is not our president and Palin not our Vice President. Let me give you reasons why it's a good idea that they're not our president. McCain is too old and he might not survive his first term and if Palin takes over as president, she will fuck us all up. The best thing for both of them to do is just sit back and let OBAMA do his job. In my opnion, McCain should retire and Palin should come have dinner with me.

BTW, I would like to add that Sarah Palin is a cantankerous bitch with no moral grounding and she has no soul and is motivated by money, greed, and ego alone. She is an absolute moron that has no place in the political realm. Some may claim that the 2008 election was a success because of Obama's election. Nay, I claim that the opening of pandora's box under the handlers of McCain's election committee has given us the herpes of American politics: Sarah Palin. She could be in Alaska right now...

Everyone here who is bashing McCain is wrong. I remember... driving through Portland, Oregon with my best friend, AM radio tuned and listening to the election as we raced back to my buddy's place. When it was announced (wwaaaaaayyyy earlier than we thought) that Obama was president. We got back to my buddy's house just in time to catch this McCain speech, and we ALL thought it was a GREAT speech. An amazing display of humility. Give some respect to McCain here. He finally was himself again.

@TheMuscleBound I doubt they're all skinheads, but it's funny that he had to admit that this was a major victory for African Americans. And they say this wasn't a race election. Oh well. I'm just worried about the election of 2012. No doubt Sarah Palin will throw in her name, but I doubt even being the Queen of The Tea Party will be enough for her to get her ass elected. Love her or hate her, I gotta admit that Palin is an attractive woman, i'd hit it....I wouldn't vote for her, but I'd hit it.
centurion205 1 year ago
McCain is a great man, against any other opponent, I may have been tempted to vote for him. His graceful speech put a close on all of the hatred the Republican supporters and rightfully so. Mr. McCain, I hope you make it through your Senator election soon.

Why do you people think you're so great for voting for a black man. Congratulations America for being the last country on earth to stop being racists. Unfortunately voting for a black man doesn't prove you're not a a racist, voting for one to prove you're not a racist only proves you are a racist. You will always be racists

A majority of whites who were conservative and of the religious right voted for McCain while Obama’s base was mostly multicultural. The final election statistics showed: 95% of African-Americans voted for him, 67% of Hispanics/Latinos voted for him, 62% of Asian-Americans, 54% of Catholics, 78% of Jewish voters and 70% of gays and lesbians. These may be the same numbers for November 2012 if the Republican party nominate another white candidate whose campaign is again full of fears and smears.

@frijolero791 - I just love watching this video. You know what they say about pay back. Ha ha ha - I say this because during the campaign, they talked about Obama so bad. Making up all kinds of rumors that is not true. Now look what happen - they still lost - and they still playing the same old dirty games today (its even worse now with the tea party) Don't they know that all this crap will come back up in 2012? They will lose even worst next time if they keep it up!

Now if McCain kept his rallies this respectful when referring to his opponent, he would have probably still lost, but it wouldn't have been such a landslide as it was.
At least this speech, he had the respect to calm the booer's in the crowd--something he should have done when his supporters were shouting "kill him" that neither McCain or Palin would try to calm.
McCain's biggest mistakes were:
1. his association with George W Bush
2. picking Palin as his nominee
3. his "hate" rallies
