  • wow, a video that time has forgotten.

  • Yeah, b3--you really sound informed yourself.

  • Ok all you berlin peeps heres a bit of advice never belive everything somone says >.> presidents do that to make themselves look better and they never do the things they say like many others he is not different then any other human being Obama is the worst for the us you jsut need to do lots and ltos of research into him Because of msot of the bad choices of presidents this time ima leavin the usa aND EUROPES OPPINION Doesnt matter you can't even vote so him makin face with yall notsmart

  • Politicians can & do lie.We all know that. But what you see here is something different. Obama,at the time of this vid, was just a senator running for Pres. Yet thousands in GERMANY showed up to hear him speak. You don't get that kinda support unless on some level you've been able to touch and affect alot of people on many levels. There's not been a politicians who's been able to do that in awhile. No the man isn't Messiah. But he certainly is inspirational. And that's amazing in and of itself.

  • I was there :) Obama 4 President

  • im a berlin citizen and have the feeling, that obama is the person, who will bring the western world together again. europe has to prepair their people to defent our civilisation united with american people. there is no other chance for us, than to give a good and strong example for the rest of the world. yes, we can!

  • This man is amazing. Never been so excited about a presidental candidate. Obama '08!

  • Germany and all the world is behind you Mr.Obama

    Obama 08

  • What a wonderful overwhelmingly positive response we have here. The people are finally uniting against the lies and the elitists and blood sucking capitalists and they know who they are!

  • .....so PRESUMPTUOUS !!!!

    he's NOT the President.  I've never seen anything like this...bogus.

  • his speech in Berlin ultimatively proves what unifiying President of the United States Obama will be. There is no other choice: Europe and the United States must work closer together than during the Bush administration.

  • Youtube are filtering peoples comments!!! Stop it!!!!

  • Stop filtering comments Youtube!!!

  • Go Obama

  • We need hope, change. We need Obama. Putin refuses to step down in Russia, and McCain will meet his challenge as we have in the past. He is for the construction of 3 missle facilities on Russia's backdoor step. How will that ease tensions???? How will this help oil prices, environmental issues, unemployment, global diplomacy, human rights? I respect anyone who has served a country in any fashion, and that includes Senator McCain, but that is all that he is..a loyal soldier. We need change.

  • Obama will change nothing, the war will continue and the US will go to war with Iran, the Dollar will continue to fall just wait and you'll see.

  • doubt it

    but lets see..whos fault is it in the first place?....

  • hope....obama will unite us as a nation and as a world.

  • I will be so proud to cast my ballot for Barack Obama this November. If you aren't inspired you aren't listening.

  • Vote Obama!

  • Why do filter comments? Your as bad the people you run against scared of free speech.

  • At the same place, in february 2003, 500.000 people demonstrated agains war in iraq.

  • Obama didn't only speak as a citizen. In Berlin (and other counties) he also spoke as politican who runs an election campain. Anyway, I hope that Obama will win.

  • so do I!!

    some sanity in the white house at last!

  • Hey!

    First: I'm german and before I saw the first 5 minutes of this speech Barack Obakma got me.

    Before I thought that he is unsympathic and I was for HIlary Clinton.

    But he has such a big character and personality! It's awesome!

    I hope that he becomes the president for long time without accidents like good4 american presidents before! For example J.F.K!

    I think he can and will change many things!

    Greetz from Germany

    P.S.

    To look this speech was a part of my homework ;-)

  • this man is a wonderfull speaker, it's funny listening to mccain compared to him!

    Obama '08

  • It is very shameful that Mccain campaign is leaning negative through their ads against Obama. McCain seems to be so impotent that is losing his Heroe prestige in a such childish action. I used to follow McCain but the more I listen to him talking the more I get discourage. Obama projects me "Change" and I really feel it. The Real war in the United States is against, Mortgages Crisis, unemployment, Gas prices, Global Warming. This is the war that I want America to win. I will vote 4 Obama.

  • obama talks a change but has no substance, putting air in your tires is his solution for the oil crises xD

  • Learn to spell and get your facts right before you post here. Obama's plan sounds like a band-aid. It'll hurt us all when we try to find new energy sources but only for a short period. McCain's plan is one that could take several decades to fully develop, and I'd rather rip the band-aid off quickly than hurt for 10-20 years. Also, I don't agree with McCain's immature ads that feature Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. :D McCain's a loser

  • Europe is behind u.....Obama 08'

  • B E R L I N

  • Anyone who thinks Obama is unpatriotic and not experienced enough to be president probably has the same IQ as Bush himself and should be disregarded. Actually, all republicans should be disregarded due to their inability to think coherently and their complete ignorance of world affairs. Obama cannot undue the damage Bush has caused, it would take a million years for anyone to undue that, but Obama is a start.

  • bush's IQ is 123, that is smarter than the average man

  • I´m from Germany and I really hope this man gets elected. The world needs someone like this, so all you americans should go out and vote for this guy. After electing Bush for 8 years, you OWE us that. Peace.

  • It's been a long time, but I think finally time has come when not only Americans but the whole world can look forward for better future. Finally the time for change is here.

  • Go Barack!

  • 323,000 views since July 24th, a week ago. What does that tell you? The world is ready for change. O B A M A

  • I am Voting for Obama! He is REAL CHANGE THAT I WANT!

  • Why tour Germany?

  • you just want to keep on leeching off the system. What happens when the producers and motivated money makers leave and there's no wealth for this jackass to confiscate? god forbid he becomes president

  • wow nice, deleted my comment huh? i guess liberals are for censorship now huh? why don't you just present an argument instead of hiding from something your going to have to face? obama wants to redistribute wealth, socialize healthcare, create a citizen police force the size of the U.S. army, yea that sounds very fucking american. you people make me sick :)

  • Obama's plans sound about as American as The United Soviet Socialist Republic

  • Errr he's campaigning in the wrong country!

  • Who is this ?? President from Africa ?

  • Obama in my country....GREAT!!!! obama '08!!!!

  • I am european living in USA and I can say that Obama is the only way to go. American people need to wide open they eyes. No more "Bush business" please! Vote Obama!

  • the 13th Amendment says: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime ... shall exist within the United States."

    In his speech on "National Service" at the University of Colorado, Obama promised that as president he would "set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year."

    Sounds like socialism to me people.

  • whitetuber - some schools already do that on their own. And I remember Obama saying something like this: We'll give them 4,000 dollars a year, but they'll have to do community service, etc.

  • All you have to do to be a liberal is take everything emotionally... :) lol

  • You also have to believe that Al Gore invented the internet. You libs, you'd all surrender your freedom in a moments notice.

  • Wrong. By that logic, all you have to do to be a conservative is to think only about today, yourself, and how you will benefit tomorrow. Wanting peace is not a weakness. It is weak to not think outside yourself and not realize that we are all connected in a global community. You have been taught to be afraid. This is made obvious by the childish comment you posted here which generalizes millions and millions of people. Therefore, you seem to be the one reacting emotionally, without logic.

  • It's amazing how a guy very few people in the U.S. knew of until this year can be so popular and exciting in other countries around the world.

    What's up with this image the republicans are trying to depict him of -- as an elitist and "uncommon" American? Just because he wears nice clothes, drinks wine instead of beer or shots of rum, graduated from Harvard Law, and articulates? Why should he be critisized for it? The man lives walking distance from a McDonald's and college dorms.

  • well said, but the to be fair, every man in the world lives within walking distance of a mcdonalds, lol!!

  • Anyone who is liked by Germany is truly a liberal.

  • Actually its European media. Most Germans wouldnt want him in office.

  • The knowledge that your vote will be overwhelmed by the votes of Americans who want to actually fix this country comforts me greatly.

  • lol...this guy is so funny!

    Wait, wait for it -

    mcpain said "he knows how to win wars" ...lol

    Which wars is he talking about? Which wars did he win? Does anyone know which wars he's talking about?

    mcpain also said "I know how to catch bin laden" - Now that's unpatriotic!! Why? because bush has been trying for years and mcpain didn't help out? *sigh*

    Thanks to youtube we can see how democracy works in america.

  • January 20th, 2009 - Barack Obama will be inaugurated as President of the United States... so wonderful and can't wait!

  • 0nly 1 out 10 Americans have a passport. Many here do not care what Europe things of our elections. I am leaning towar him.

  • Obama for Germany! :D

    If he wont make it in the USA, he should run for german chancellor 2009. lol

  • obama is the best

  • 11:30 about the walls is a beautiful speech

  • I'm an italian boy please all americans vote

    Obama if you want to change USA and the world!!!

  • With only 1 out of 10 Americans having a passport, many here do not care what Europe things. I am leaning towards voting for him.

  • "only 1 out of 10 Americans having a passport"

    - it explains why so many americans are so blockheaded. I already visited four continents - lets say travelling is eye opening. And thats probably why so many americans are blind.

  • Like im going to believe you got the correct facts from your European Liberal News.

  • FREE speech ! !

  • Americans need to open their eyes and vote for a man who is also good for the relation between Europe and America.

  • I am a Republican who is learning towards Obama, But When has any Reublican been liked by Europe? Reagan was hated and all he wanted to do was make peace with Russia and get rid of the Nukes. BWY I love the Dutch and root for the Orange (spelled wrong I know). Mccain is not a typical Republican.

  • sorry Repulican

  • Please Americans of all races and faiths, choose Obama to redeem your greatest mistake of bringing Bush to the leadership of The free world. Having A man from a racial minority to rule the most powerful nation in the world will change the conditions of all minorities in the world. It will be a ground breaking Event. You will defeat prejudice and tyranny in unprecedented way.

  • I'm not American either but I just hope that American is ready for a president like Obama and dares to vote accordingly! Go Obama!

  • I liked Obama until I saw this vid. I won't say why that changed, because as a random person on the internet, I doubt it matters much. For the record, it has something to do with the Soviet Union and the GDR. Nonetheless, his rhetoric is impressive as ever.

  • The next president needs to be someone who will clean up the world and extend diplomacy. He needs to be able to realize that even though we have differences we are still of the same species. He needs to be able to compromise for the world's interests.

    John McCain is not that man.

  • This is the man the world needs to be president.

    Whether my fellow Americans like it or not the United States has a responsibility to act in the interests of everybody. The president does not govern over just one nation but every single decision he makes affects the world as a whole.

    Because of this we can not have an 'American' president. For the last eight years an 'American' president has fucked over the entire world and left a mess for the next person to either clean up or contribute to.

  • He's like Martin Luther King!!!

  • thats what im talking about. PPL blast him for giving good speeches, and not saying anything at all... but i heard plenty.

    GO Obama 08!

  • If you want to solve a problem look at what is causing it. Our support of Israel no matter what atrocities they commit is the main fuel of terrorism.This is something Obama has to realize too. He says we are a friend to Israel, well, a real friend will tell someone when what they are doing is wrong. A real friend will not put itself at risk when the other friend is starting shit. It is enabling bad behavior, and that is not what a real friend would do.

  • Impressive.

  • I think Obama would be a fantastic president... vote Obama!

  • I just saw on TV that an(American)woman said that a picture of Jesus is imbeded in her cat's fur. The only problem with that is the fact that no one knows what Jesus looks like. This shows how brain-washed some of the American people are; which brings me to my point,- they voted for Bush twice. Look at the condition of the U.S now. John McCain has been in office most of his life, and now says he wants to bring change? How dumb can a person be? McCain voted 97% with Bush.

  • Obama 08-16! Yeah obama is awsome. Change is awsome. It is good to come from a not rich family because they actually know what they're talking about. 0bama 08

  • I really hope this guy wins cause having mccain will be like having bush 4 more years.

  • If I were to North America, my vote is to obama, is intelligent and a very good person

    excuse me, my english is very bad because i speak in spanish xD

  • Obama 08

  • Obama and Mcain have differences, but i think the biggest is that Obama believes that bringing people together to solve a common problem or to help each other is the answer, Mcaine thinks : if anyone anywhere in any continent sais something bad about the U.S.A they cant possibly be our ally's. he also thinks that bush was on the right track... what the heck?!!! Bush screwed up this nation so bad he's going to be the most imfamous president ever!!! he actually ran the biggest defficet in history!

  • I can't believe that one of the good people could finally win. So, for the good of the world, don't screw it up USA and elect Obama.

  • i am not americian but will pray that he wins

    obama 08

  • Even an elected President McCain will NEVER have a crowd of 200.000 people here...unless we are forced to go.

  • mccain has nuthn on this bright and determenous man yes i made up a wrd for him

  • Even a President McCain will NEVER see a crowd of 200.000...not in any European city!

    Unless we are forced...

  • We invite McCain to also come here...he would speak to an empty Berlin (or in any other city). America: make no mistake! We here in Europe are sick of the Nazi Neo-Cons.

  • Hang in there Barak, we have your back.

  • Barack Obama for president!

    America lets go change the world for good!

  • Obama for president!

  • He likes to say: "this is the moment" a lot.

  • Yeah, that's how most speech's work. Using repetitive language. Look at alot of famous speech's (I have a dream) uses alot of repetitive language.

  • i don't want gay people to marry. so i don't support obama. although everything else about him i like lol.

  • Give me a Presidential candidate who will balance our budget,get rid of the trade dedicit and bring our troops home now, from around the world.

  • Stay in Canada, it is plain stupid to live there because you do no like Republicans. I want to vote for a President who will balance our trade deficit and balance our budget. Also, one who will bring our troops home from all parts of the world. I do not care about color or gender. Those are my 3 things of importance.

  • The part against discriminations along with the fact of being an African American are very promising. I try not to get excited though, as politics is an art of dynamic re-adjustment to a constantly changing world of economical interests and strategic relations. US have shown disrespect to their allies or friends some times in the past. A change in leadership, CAN change credibility and even the global picture of a whole country. I will be conservative in my expectations, pls don't disappoint us.

  • Omigod, an American candidate who can actually speak intelligently!!!!!  Who would have believed it?

  • i luv it********

  • to all the people who say that he does not specify what change is:"change is better health care...education...greener jobs...improved legislature to help achieve that...(and today)breaking barriers between cultures" What is that if not specifying what change is? AND obama has some of the smartest people on his team. If only I were four years older, he would most certainly have my vote...

    OBAMA 2008(/2012!)

  • To elect Obama president is to elect a leader who will lead us toward peace and prosperity, by focusing on what we have in common, thinking diplomatically, and forging positive relationships with the international community. Obama '08

  • obama is our next president =D!!!!!!!!!!

  • He should 100% win. Obama to win <3 :) x

  • Awesome i want Barack Obama to become president so i can live in America right now i live in Canada.

  • maan, If I were an American citizen we would totally get my vote. He mentions all the important subjects! HE'S THE BEST!

  • Glad I finally watched this

  • holy shit POOLS CLOSED in Berlin

  • @mynameissol

    when he doesn´t write his one speeches, why did he haven´t a speech on his desk...

    think about that!!!!!!

  • he doesnt have a speech on his desk because the speech is coming from his heart. He wrote the speech A more perfect union which is here on youtube.

  • Obama should become the next president!

    I hope he has your vote(:

  • Can't take another 4 years of the same Can't take Bush, reincarnated as McCain The way he did New Orleans really was ashame I believe in Obama, I'm ready for change" CHORUS: The last time I looked at my clock It was Obama time. OBAMA The Republicans are in for a shock Cause its Obama time. OBAMA
  • He's in Germany cos once he becomes President, He AUTOMATICALLY becomes the lider of the new world,he will open the correct path to strenghen relationships between Germany and us, between France and us, even between UK AND us, between the european community and USA and make of all of us( united with one vision and one mission) the only force capable to deal and overcome those challenges that we by ourselves( each one of our countries individually)haven't been able of taken cared of.

  • At least he doesn't mangle the English language like you-know-who !

  • to all the people who say that he does not specify what change is:"change is better health care...education...greener jobs...improved legislature to help achieve that...(and today)breaking barriers between cultures" What is that if not specifying what change is? AND obama has some of the smartest people on his team. If only I were four years older, he would most certainly have my vote...

    OBAMA 2008(/2012!)

  • god i hope he wins :)

  • im not american but i hope he wins :)

  • you know...even if he does not win ,he is leaving such an impression around the world with his intellect, hisknowledge of history, and his longing for peace which will turn the tide on how the world views America. People and other nations will acknowledge some form of peace. Isn't that great. Did you know that 220,000 people were ther to hear this speeech in Berlin. WOW...what a spoiler.

  • to all the people who say that he does not specify what change is, i would just like to tell them to keep their noses out of things too complicated for them to understand. "change is better health care...eceonomy...greener jobs...(and today)breaking barriers between cultures" what is that if not explaining what change is? If i were four years older, he would most certainly have my vote!

  • Because Germany had been America's most loyal ally since World War II until the Iraq War and President George W. Bush. The US has always had disagreements with France but the recent frost with Germany was considerably new and many think it is dangerous for both the US and Europe. They are also the economic heart of the European Union and the 3rd strongest global economy after the USA and Japan.

  • when I was in high school, my teacher told us it was no way that America would have a black-African president.Now it seems she was wrong. American people are more opened that expected. Actually I like this guy,too. He has strong leadership that another guy.

  • obama will def restore americas respect and appreciation around the globe

  • Why Obama's Better Than McCain -

    WILL end this unnecessary Iraq war.

    Stronger economic plan.

    Realistic energy solutions.

    A government that serves the people.

    Can rain three's from outside all day long.

    Let's do this people.

  • Every time Obama speaks, he adds new meaning to the word "CLASSY"

    I love this guy - our country needs him NOW!

  • It was 20,000 ppl, not 200,000.

  • I hope obama is the next president he is a very

    very nice

  • Our next great President of the U.S, Mr Obama!

  • i love you obama

  • I often forget how many idiots, poorly educated and down right ignorant or stupid people there are on this planet. It is in reading some of the comments here that I am reminded of how dangerous the unenlightened and uninformed make this world. Clearly Senator Obama is an inspired leader but even he can't reached the closed minds unable to benefit from his light and unique destiny.

  • You had leak, you are going to lose physical votes. Am sorry to inform you senator...

  • Tja. Was soll ich dazu sagen...Klingt ja ganz gut. Aber wie wir ja wissen sieht nach der Wahl immer alles anders aus. Wer weiß. Wenn nicht mehr um Macht und Öl Kriege geführt werden, dann bestimmt um Nahrung, Wasser oder später Luft zum Atmen. Und da werden die Ammis gut mitmischen. Da Wette ich drauf. Leider.

  • OBAMA4PRESIDENT:)

  • I have watched this speech and I have to say Im impressed,

    As a man and leader... Hopefully the leader of his country!

    This is how leaders should speak!

    Commutation is the key to understanding and getting and knowledge.

    This man has not yet won his countries vote yet he has won our favor by speaking, by telling us and Imforming us with this speech.

    I just feel sorry for those who have missed the point of this speech.

    From a 24 year old man, England.

  • I don't hope I know Barack Obama is gunna be the next president of the United States! :D

  • obama for president

  • see, obama will win cause mccain dosent stand for anything and obama does. and i believe what obama stands for is right. so yeah. call it idealistic, but its better than being too realistic.

  • When we look back in history I believe this speech will be included among those healing moments between America, Germany, and the rest of the world. I believe Barack Obama is a gifted man who has been being prepared "for such a time as this." He articulates things on his mind and heart so well, with such inspiration. So many of us respond to him because he really is saying so eloquently those things we hold in our own hearts. I am so very grateful. Barb in Seattle

  • The world needs Obama. The more Fox and the neo-cons get pissed, the better.

  • I'm bulgarian and I like Obama. Barack Obama has different way of thinking. He represents the new path of america's future. Mr Obama, if Bulgaria could vote for you, be sure you'll have our 100% vote for you!

  • HE IS USING A TELEPROMTOR!!!! OMG what a fake..

  • He appears very Presidential!!! at least someone in this country is presidential, the ninkompoop in Washington has been asleep at the switch for the past 8 years.

  • Easy to talk(all politicans did and got fair pay for it).. harder to do. point. end

  • regardless if there was a rock concert or not people still are cheering for him.... I think people would boo him if they didn't want to hear him speak...

  • The last three minutes of this speech are the best.

  • Yes We Can!!

  • This Man...this man...I love America .

    America will never stops suprising the world.

    God please protect him.

    We need him but we are also capable of betraying him.

  • sure obama can see the problem in the u.s. today, but can he see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch cereal?

  • Ich bin ein Beginner!

    Obama is well intentioned, but when he speaks he appears inexperienced and naive to the world we share with people holding other ambitions.

    He is a junior senator with 3 years of experience, 2 of them spent campaigning for president. How can he posess the wisdom to lead a nation at this critical point in time?

    McCain's isn't without his own flaws, but the United States needs a leader for today and should encourage Obama to build experience to lead in the future.

  • McCain also voted for an illegal war, and plans on continuing it. No one was more experienced than Dick Cheney prior to 2000, and look where that got us. We're better off with change.

  • i got hope, lets go Obama!

  • I'm from Germany.

    WE LOVE BARACK OBAMA!

    He gives us hope. Another period of a Bush-like president McCain would cause massive depression in Europe and around the world. So please, American people, vote for Barack Obama as President of the United States! Only then the world will love your country as we used to.

  • Stop hating on Obama. You can have a rock band to brign them in, but you can not make them stay once the band is over with. People stop hating on Obama. Look at his 2004 DNC speech. he wrote that speech

  • thank you God for this Leader and the president we can believe in...This is the change we need in this Great country states

  • mynameissol: You believe that Iraqis like us? That is far from the truth...the terrorist are in Iraq because of the US. Al Queda in Iraq had no foothold in Iraq, after the invasions the anarcy which ensued paved way from terrorist and militias to terrorize nation. And Obama does write his own speeches...he talks about what "change" is all of the time. Do you not listen?

    The lengths some people will go to discredit Obama is laughable to be.

  • I <3 Obama!

    Obama 08!

    He'd be the first great president in my honest

    opinion! The world wants Obama!

  • This is a great speech by a great man. The world needs leaders like him.

  • unbelievable

    unbelievable..I'm so proud to be

    American because of Obama...

    I really hope Obama becomes prez in the US...

    too bad I can'T vote hehe

  • because he want save USA...he understand how is important the word called cooperation , Bush didn't understand and he drove usa in a disaster .

  • mynameissol you are correct! few presidents write their own speeches! George washington did not even write his own! with the exeption of own great and late president Abraham Lincoln, a true republican! please people do some research, it is easy to listen to one person and take it for truth search for the truth and you shall find it!!

  • I'd unravel every riddle

    For any individdle

    In trouble or in pain

    With the thoughts I'd be a-thinkin'

    I could be another Lincoln

    If I only had a brain.

  • Go Obama!

  • I guess Obama figured that if a ranting, ugly little troll with a funny little mustache could win over these people, then a smooth talking, handsome devil like him would be a leadpipe cinch.

  • polish do :)

  • polish do :)

  • I was there ....it was worth the waiting in the heat...

  • Obama for president!

  • Rock concert? What a stupid lie. Oh yeah Raemonn can pull a crowd of 250,000+(Berliner Zeitung's estimte)!!!

    Maybe McCain should hire Alex Parks - he'll draw 1,000,000 and win the crucial Cornish Emo demographic! Of course BO would up the ante by recruiting Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - he'll gt 2,000,000 at his next gig!

  • I think visits like these definitely prove that there is no truth to the anti-american feelings in Europe and that it's just been that Europe (and the rest of the world) is gasping and reaching out for a different, more respectable leader of the US that can regain the trust that was so disdainfully abused by the current one.

  • crazy lady screaming at 58 seconds stole the show

  • Thank you Barack Obama for this moment of hope, this moment of peace and freedom.

    Barack Obama is the only one, who has the possibility to rebuild the bridges between Europe and America.His philosophy is cooperation and not isolation.He wants to protect the environment and work together with the international community.

    There is no alternative to him.J.McCain has shown his meaning about us Germans "meeting with international leaders and fawning Germans". In the same way he would be a president.
