Student: Obama Speech 'Positive Encouragement'

[aaronplant]

funny how she refrences communist china on encouraging people

[howfartouranus]

Obama lacks leadership qualities, why does he have to wait a few weeks to decide whether to send more troops to Afghanistan as of 10/1/2009, He has been president for like 9 months, doesn't he even know whats going on there? He should be briefed daily, but I guess if you are just playing the role of the President you would have to think about real issues, since he is clueless

[thedougmeister]

You want him to only think about Afghanistan and ignore domestic issues like Bush did?

[jamo45662]

Shame on the church for allowing a baby killer to deliver his speech to kids in their building. He wants to deliver a speech to kids that he does not think have a right to be born. Not to mention he is pro gay marriage. Wow, Must be a mega church that only believes in raking in the money.

[Tzensa]

Wow! Just wow. Couple quick notes though:

1) Pro Choice DOES NOT equal pro abortion it DOES equal the government stepping back and letting the individual make the choice

2) the entire gay marriage controversy is a sham the decision to allow it is a legal one NOT a religious one last I checked the two are very different things in this country

Now I'm sure all this has offended you so I have one piece of advice GET OVER IT

...now if only I had even a penny for every time someone offended me

[PureLifer1]

The bailout didn't go to "banks" It went to the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. Trillions of dollars went to THEM!

[chx3hdr]

WeThePeopleNoNWO - It is obvious from your youtube handle that you believe in some sort of NWO theory.

I have seen most of these videos on youtube . I dont subscribe to that nonsense . . its leads to misinformation, paranoia, xenophobia and madness.

Not unlike the behavior we see with some of these Glenn Beck followers.. people are not waking up . . they are going insane.

Not unlike religious nuts who misinterpret and predict false prophecies. Save you mind. Quit believing that nonsense.

[chx3hdr]

WeThePeopleNoNWO - I guess if I looked at things the way you do, my future would always look very grim and government would always be the helm of evil.

However, my views are different from yours on these issues.

[WeThePeopleNoNWO]

My future is actually pretty bright. People are finally waking up. The only way we can get true change is to open our eyes. Few points on gov. Look into federal reserve. Obama extending patriot act. Obama passing law to incarcerate indefinitely for possibility future crimes. Give act that says mandatory volunteer. Obama gives 100% immunity to vaccine makers. Gov mandates immunizations. Look at how they make vaccines and how many have died, are crippled or suffer because of them. Knowledge golden

[PureLifer1]

Obama's increasing troops in Afghanistan, another war that can't be won! read the comments on "obama aims speech at students" it was a great debate!

[WeThePeopleNoNWO]

putting a blindfold on doesn't make the truth go away.

[chx3hdr]

I don't agree that Obama had much to do with a failing economy. . instead of t saying laid right at the feet of Obama, you should have said the burden was laid on Obama. It is the unfortunate ( or fortunate ) timing of these bailouts that either confuses or give most of you some sort of validity to blame this administration for supposedly destroying your great America . . it is utter nonsense.

[WeThePeopleNoNWO]

I am not Blaming Obama. lol He is just another puppet. Down below I stated that this started in 90's. Clinton was in then. Bush, then did his part, now it's obama's turn. What is confusing is how you could possibly believe this wasn't planned. Since this all started, who are the only ones who didn't lose. The bankers. They have given themselves over 10 billion in bonuses since end of 2007. Polititions haven't suffered either. They have created a crisis and profited from it. Please don't believe

[PureLifer1]

You're awake!

[GreenEnergy2112]

Destiny Price is just the type of student that conservatives don't want to get the message of 'Positive Encouragement' because they fear her prosperity and see her prosperity as there failure.

[archerling245]

That first young lady was very articulate. Good for her.

[chx3hdr]

The people in the U.S are so confused.

They now believe in conspiracy theories, NWO speculation . . their world is coming to an end. They panic. They blame OBAMA for everything, including their fucking bad hair day! . . It is unbelievable. They all seem to know how better to run the U.S.A . . the problem is . . they still cannot accept the fact that OBAMA is YOUR president . . in time you will and in time you will see how great a president he IS!... U mark my words.

[JawsJaws]

Too many teachers brainwashing kids with their political beliefs.

[Shector1969]

WE ARE DOOMED !!!! Where was the interviews with the "white""chinese""asian" kids ?? I must have missed it and my "EYES WERE WIDE OPEN" Blacks make up 5% of the US population, but make up 50% of the prison population. Great Job Keep up the good work. As for your "BOY" Obama, he will be the first and the last Black president. Mark my words. If he carried a Football, or could Slamdunk, maybe people would take him seriously !!!!

[chx3hdr]

You are doomed. You cannot stop the inevitable. No matter what you say, no matter what you do! . . Hate on. Wish on. Pres. Obama did nothing to you. If anyone has bad intentions for this country it is people like yourself.

[Kashmir2000is]

Go visit the Library of Congress and the National Archives. Look up which bills he has passed, what he has been doing. Than come on back here and say that again.

[chx3hdr]

Ok. . are you speaking of the stimulus bills that were passed?

[chx3hdr]

I may be jumping the gun here. . but if you are going to bitch about the amount of money spent to restore the failing economy you will fail.

You and the rest of America would probably not have a pot to piss in if this administration didn't do what they had to do to save your asses from what could have potentially a 2nd great depression.

[WeThePeopleNoNWO]

yep you definitely are. History of this failing economy is laid right at the feet of obama and past 2 presidents. Look up acorn in the 1990's, by the way your great obama helped do some training for acorn in 90's. Acorn put massive pressure on congress and banks to make available loans to low income people. Congress passed bill having banks give loans to pretty much anybody. Nice new rule. People buy houses, lose houses. Congress still gets paid. Bankers give bonuses, Public pays for both

[WeThePeopleNoNWO]

So what exactly did they save us from. The banks and other companies they bailed out with our money say they are turning things around. What they call turning around is taking what little we have left. Banks have imposed higher rates on credit cards, doubled the amount overdraft fees in a day. Just those suck billions a year from the public.Taxes have been raised on countless products we use everyday. State and federal taxes. Find who has benifitted all through the collapse. They designed it.

[PureLifer1]

The banker bailout is almost equal to our GNP. We're talking some $20+ trillion! That's enough money to pay off everyone's mortgage in the USA. probably credit cards, too! Money down the drain to foreigners!

[WeThePeopleNoNWO]

By the way look at the great depression in detail. The Federal reserve collapses the banking and investment firms ,then turns around and buys their assets for pennies on the dollar. Kind of like now. The fed just sold 1.3 billion dollars of bad mortgages to a company for somewhere around 65 million. Wish I had connections and a lot of money, I would buy for 5 cents on the dollar. By the way, public owes the 1.3 billion. I feel good about this

[chx3hdr]

If anything Obama did not run for office to bail out banks and spend your tax money on bailing out these institutions. It was obviously a necessity . . no matter how we got to this point.

[im1greatman]

These children don't understand or even know about history of the world let along the history of their own country.

These addressees to students have been used by leaders of the past to "brainwash" children into following their agenda.

Maybe one day some of these kids will be working for a group like "ACORN". Pay attention world and open your eyes.

[earwasel2]

So telling kids that success only comes with hard work and dedication is just preparing them for being brainwashed slaves?

If you listen to the speech, President Obama purposefully avoided any political comments whatsoever.

If you're so afraid of brainwashing, don't send your kids to school. Homeschool them to make sure all their beliefs align with your own. I've seen teachers that relayed false political information for their own agenda. Obama didn't do this.

[im1greatman]

Did you hear what the young lady said?

When she mentioned kids in China, she destroyed any validity to her comments. Chinese children are treated like sheep in their country witch I don't think she understood.

If children don't want to be surpassed by children from other counties they need to get off of their asses and go to school. I blame this mostly of the lack of parenting of young kids.

They are not taught the key values of work and success early on in life.

[earwasel2]

Her China comment didn't destroy her validity. Although Chinese parents force their children to study hard and excel, it is far different then being treated like sheep.

But her comment encompassed more countries than just China.

The major determining factor of a childs ability to learn happens between the ages of 0-3 years. Bad parenting results in our education problems, especially in the critical early years.

As for the earlier comment, Obama's speech was definitely not brainwashing.

[faron27]

but he is still my president

[faron27]

Obama is doing everything Hitler did when he came to power. I wanted so bad to have faith in him but he is full of hate and lies my only hope is that he will listen to the people. LOOK everyone he has brought in is a radical van Jones is just the top of the shi@ heap. And don't give me any race crap I am Native American and if anyone should be pissed its me.

[2wow2wow]

I dont know why people try to compare everything to past... let me ask you this if you ahve kids do you even talk to them...or how bout this do they even listen to you...did obama said "Oh and dont listen to your parents" he even encourage us the YOUTH which is the HOPE of the FUTURE... to be more responsible and in my understanding TO LISTEN TO MY PARENTS TO OUR PARENTS...and be RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN ACTION...I dont get ADULTS...why make things so complicated when you dont have to.

[chx3hdr]

Hitler? . . yea. . Obama has ONLY wicked intentions right. You people are nothing less than ridiculous!

[STPdemon]

Hitler? No. Stalin? Yes. They just have the wrong evil dictator, that's all...

[mpgenaw]

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.

— Adolf Hitler

[chx3hdr]

Sounds like a quote from FOX NEWS.

[Rebekah7713]

ok so that's what you have seen! You are one person, you don't know what Blacks have gone through STILL go through which is apparent by the racist comments made towards our president!!! Oh and also by YOUR racist comments. You seriously need to open your eyes, maybe learn some history. You haven't walked in other peoples shoes, and you're talking now just out of ignorance. You just don't know.

[XxsithlordxX]

Yes, Latinos can't read or write or count and use immigration as an excuse but that's besides the point. The parents who refused their kids the right to watch this encouragement are probably the ones on welfare or illegal.

[RealRepublican1]

Telling your child to not go to school on purpose sets a bad precedent. You know how many excuses now a child can come up with not to go to school? That decision is going to haunt that parent for the rest of his or her life.

[zavierfire]

RealRepublican1,

teaching your child to reject or be afraid of the president's inspiring (and NON-PARTISAN) address to the youth sets a bad precedent. do you know how many people grow up hating and fearing people and things that they know nothing about? That type of parenting is going to haunt this country for the rest of its life.

[kohltrain13]

It's controversial because jealous republicans are putting money into extorting and attempting to ruin Obama's image.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

funny how the person who posted this banned and censored comments , thats socialist control

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

watch this video by a black guy who wasnt fooled

"Change? What Change!?! Obama fools the american people!"

[rastuslong]

me be likin da presdent........he da man

[jerphunter]

HA Arlington Texas! XD too funny im getting tears!

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

they are controlled by the same people the only free people dont vote for the 2 major controlled parties. he is a [puppet who reads from a teleprompter maybe thats impressive until you hear him without it

[TATTOOTRAINING]

when will you kids wake up and realize barry is a tool . he and bush both take orders from the same power. presidents are picked at places like Bahamian grove and builderburger meetings, he was chosen by a CFR member , THE CFR has plans for India and Pakistan , bush killed 1.5 million in Iraq and obamas orders are to do it in Afghanistan , YOU CALL THAT CHANGE ? better educate yourself because the schools dont teach shit , you've been had kids.

[TATTOOTRAINING]

do you see the 2 small panels in front of him? they are teleprompters he reads everything , the only thing he is better at than bush is reading and that snot saying much

[InuzukaCds]

Poor kids don't even know what they're talking about. This was Obama;s back up plan to keep America loving him.....

[rgoodwinau]

Wish the top leaders in Australia thought being a student was so important that they were willing to spend time encouraging them. How about we do a swap?

[insanekid15]

even in ct they chose not to show it.

[well99]

Compared to Obama

"When President George H.W. Bush delivered a similar speech on October 1, 1991, from Alice Deal Junior High School in Washington DC, the controversy was just beginning. Democrats, then the majority party in Congress, not only denounced Bush's speech -- they also ordered the General Accounting Office to investigate its production and later summoned top Bush administration officials to Capitol Hill for an extensive hearing on the issue. "

Guess that was ok

[muskadime]

This is crazy, they wasnt saying nothing when george bush was popping that shit.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

nice English (true example of American youth) your not old enough to remember shit , but Clinton ran on CHANGE and even bush 1 got a load of shit from democrats when he spoke to ONE class room .

[Alex2626GS]

I support my commander-in-chief 100%, If we don't how will we become a better nation.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

wake up , you dont support people who are wrong , bush allow murder of over a million and obama will be told by his controllers to do the same in Afghanistan , there will be no change , you support a murderer

[AmericanRican]

If you are a racist and a moron with an education or not, getting paid well or not--you will end up on YOUTUBE calling everyone racial slurs and hiding behind a computer screen because you are a racist and a moron.

The only thing negative about the speech was watching countless of school children stay home and lose a day of school because their parents are racists or just mad their candidate lost the bid for President.

Open mouth insert foot for sure!

That's what the message was about today.

[scarymarket]

Country could go bankrupted... people lost their jobs... savings.... etc... they will be heading tent cities.

[powerovergamec]

OMG that girl is exactly right.

[SpasticSasha]

0:27 AP says a large group...but that church is only 20% filled haha. Biased much?

Also what kind of demented parents would bring their kids to a place to get indoctrinated by the Messiah? That is cult-like

[Yellow24y]

hello have you accepted obama as your lord and savior? if you do not you're not an american

[jwul004]

The message was simple: "If you quit on yourself, you quit on your country" ...what could be so damn negative  about that? Jeez, these conservatives need to relax and realise that not everything in life is red/blue

[rn50]

Are those "adults" afraid that their children might think that our President is a great guy who in interested in their well-being, the future of our country & its' children? That their children might even admire their President? Shame on those bigoted, hate spewing, propaganda spreaders. It was a wonderful speech, leading our nation in the right direction. Positive reinforcement for our kids....do those opposing adults remember/know what that is?

[DarthTigreros62]

This socialism has to stop now! Im not even a kid but after hearing his speech all I think about is doing well at community college, and earning a transfer into a good University. You know what happened as the result of this speech? I did all my homework, even the extra credit, and I researched the subject I'm studying in the library. Obama, you are ruining this country, let Asia and Europe produce the serious intelligent engineers I want America to remain a stoner liberal arts republic!

[darthspaceinvader]

My god, is everyone blind. The only president in recent history to get this kind of responce. And he is black and the areas who won't show it are well known for racism. Shame on you America.

[DigitalAquarius]

Hey man its ok. He is the first black president, you have to expect this kind of stuff.

But we need to keep moving forward and not let the ignorant racists bring people down.

[Ben182010]

Ok why is this so contraversal hes saying anything a GOOD Parent whould say to thieir kids! so Idont think it was the speech i think it was the color of his skin. God we're still left in the past and for what skin color? im proud to be american but i have to say WE ARE BECOMING A RETARED COUNTRY ......... let it have been Mccain's speech and every school would have taken the day off just to see it. mark my words.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

first i who kill bush or mccain before i voted for them , second wake up. only the blacks keep racism alive. he was made president no votes count . he is a puppet just like bush .the only real honest people are not controlled and they cant be president because the zionist control the media and the voting.

[Rebekah7713]

only blacks keep racism alive?

no sir, you do

[Ben182010]

well i wasnt ever sleep i think everyone keeps racisim alive not just blacks FYI IM BLACK

[elspoko]

How dare Obama push the youths nation to better themselves! This is not an American ideal! We need these people to only recieve negative remarks about their socio-economic state, so that they may stay on the lower tiers of the economy!

For shame Obama!

[Che0bama]

His comments should be aimed at the inner city, where the problem lies. Not suburban America.

And notice all the out of work welfare cheats who have so much time to be inspired by their heroes message. Oh the irony.

[chx3hdr]

The problem is all over America. Take a look at the world and the so called "terrible" socialist/communists countries and see how much MORE well educated most of those children are compared to most americans.

Fact: Average welfare child is white, has one sibling and unmarried mother, gov't statistics show

Contrary to popular belief, there are more White children on welfare than Black children, according to statistics from the Census Bureau and Department of Health and Human Services.

[Che0bama]

chx3hdr: According to gov. population stats, Percentage wise blacks are predominantly more dependant on the system that any other race including the hispanics. As bad as Latinos are, lazy, incompetent blacks are much worse.

Blacks make up 12% of the total U.S population, but account for 39.9% of ALL welfare recipients. 2-1/2 times higher than their population.

They're also responsible for:

75% of your Prison population

75% of all Crimes Committed

75% are Illegitimate.

[chx3hdr]

Yes you are correct. I only made that point to clear up a previous post.

I am not making up excuses their lack of responsibility.

But there is lack of opportunity . . more so for blacks than most minorities.

I hear this LAZY thing over and over. I am not sure the problems has much to do with being lazy. I know many blacks who bust their asses everyday! also they were the ones who were busting their asses on the fields moreover, some of the best athletes in the world!.. incompetent maybe.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

oh wow thats important being a jock or rapper, the reason obama is so fascinating is its a 1/3 black guy who can read.

[CapricousCapricorn1]

Get a life. Seriously. You're just some foolish LONER.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

care to debate me or are you obamanots only capable of childish name calling ? after all you educated you can handle debating me right. ?

face it you bought the lie. he is a puppet like the rest. he didnt change anything he help the zionist bankers steal billions, he took us to an extended war in Afghanistan to kill more innocent people just LIKE BUSH . your in denial .

[CapricousCapricorn1]

I don't want to talk to you. It's not worth my time. I don't fuck with racist who think their apart of some fucking super, hyrid race and better than every body else.

You need to get your life in check loner freak and stop taking your frustration out

over your suck ass extisence on the internet.

[Che0bama]

chx: "A lack of opportunity?" Really?

With Affirmative Action, minority grants, mandated quotas in colleges and private business, UNCF, Acorn, half of all Gov. jobs allocated for (even undeserving) blacks at city, state and fed levels like.. Fire, police, dmv, post office etc.. Black unions like SEIU, sky capt. etc.,

Yeah, hardly any opportunities.

[yanfeb15]

Latinos lazy?? why making this all about race issue?? This is ridiculous.

[ChristinaWatkinson]

I'm American but this is embarrassing, this is one thing that proves a lot of us Americans are STUPID, not letting a president tell people to stay in school? Fucking barbaric...

[thejmeister88]

The speech itself isn't necessarily the problem most people have that oppose it, but rather the person who its coming from and what he stands for. While his current agenda does contain every aspect of socialism, one thing I find kind of odd is that Obama is merging state power and corporate power and firing CEOs... that's not socialism... its corporatism, corporatism is a component of fascism.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

why are you falling for it? they didnt want him making socialist comments and being thar everyone was listening for it he kept it safe , noone is complaining about what he said but what they were expecting him to say, like he has in the past.

[Dakotah07]

I am so tired of Republicans! Everytime Obama tries to do something right they always have to critize him. And for what? Ya'll just mad because a democrat is in the white house.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

the media has a job , the media is controlled by the same people who say who will be president. they divide the country and keep everyone fighting so they dont wake up and see both sides are fake. WAKE UP . obama takes order from the same people bush did.

[Par5Birdie]

Question, why do people that haven't read his proposed heathcare plan protest against it, LOL. Oh, now I remember, Americans get their information from sound bits on TV, chatrooms, and what they heard in an elevator. They don't read nor do they know how to use the Internet as an alternative source of information -- just website Ads and other people's option, LOL. Go USA!

[lilsammy21chi]

i see nothing wrong with obama speaking to students, racist people these days, but i bet if our president was white there wouldnt be a problem

[Pkr]

America continues to fight racism but it is becoming even more difficult as minorities become more involved in their country. Majority groups fear change and fear the future..... BUT, they'll get use to it... it's coming.

[TATTOOTRAINING]

where the hell is the change ? he didnt change one dam thing bush did , wake up fool , differant puppet same masters.

[Pkr]

All last week people were calling US communists and socialists... there must have been something that we did to have them running so scarred. Whatever it was maybe we need more of it. maybe it was health care for all Americans... god forbid?

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

you are way off . first off the media pushes the FACT that his policies are socialist , maybe you should read up on it , after all he wants you to be educated right? so are you being led in that direction ? as for running scared? if you could see what he is being made to do and you had more knowledge of socialism and the constitution you may be scared too , scared of loosing the rights under the republic. i truly suggest you educate YOURSELF on socialism and his controllers

WTF do u know about america ?

[humanisall]

republicans are our villiage idiots. the more thet speak, the bigger their hole. which smells like old people and aggnorance. america is changing get over it or go back to your old world. i'm sure the Native americans would not mind.

[d3v07]

I hope blacks rise and kill all the republicans.

[TATTOOTRAINING]

i hope blacks wake up and kill the jews who control your asses. its not about parties it who controls shit . obama is a tool for the zionist , oh but im shure you dont know shit about that.

[combat1856]

Obamas gonna pay my gas and my mortgage!

[Panchee123]

there's nothing contraversial about this speech. It's called playing it safe. Oh well, you have the right to watch if you want. God Bless

[sharinganclan213]

talking about self responsibility while all the while taking away that responsibility from people. no, the speech was good, but actions speak louder than words. expanding welfare and giving students more and more federal grants is not the way to go. why? it doesnt "encourage" students to learn.

[MementoExpose]

If I was on the admissions committee of a university I would offer the first girl that spoke here a spot in the school, she is well-spoken and intelligent

[yanfeb15]

same thing I was thinking. And I agreed with her 100%

[moviedude22]

They don't understand how a Black man could be so intelligent, well spoken and forward thinking...so they fear him - rather they fear what they do not understand. I once had respect for the Republican PArty, but I see no reason to respect an irrational, fearful party any further. They bring nothing to the table anymore!

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

intellegent ? why becouse he can spek? see the 2 small panels in front of him >? they are telepromters , he reeds everything , thats all he does better than bush and thats not saying much. listen to him when he doesnt have the prompter he babels like bush. you problem isnt with the republican party so much as it is with the BS controlled media creating shit. thats the job of the media to keep people at each other

[yanfeb15]

and it seems like media is really getting to you.

[TATTOOTRAINING]

ya think , ? he right . id kill glen beck or any of them or take out a major broadcasting system . at least there is REPUBLIC BRADCASTING NETWORK to give the truth . ; ]

haaah...ur funny...very funny in deed...good joke lol

[yanfeb15]

well said

That speech some fucking stupid.

[certifiedjagga]

So is it like an all black school or what?

[1037pm]

...did you not just hear that it was broadcast ALL OVER THE NATION???????

[xxxFaustusxxx]

As a college student, I was encouraged by his speech.

[radiantfluxify]

good:) because your going to pay for it all!! even china have fun slave boy!!

[DarthTigreros62]

Oh no he got to you too! Your just gonna get brainwashed into better grades, a bigger house and a better life are you sure you want that? For yourself? For your family?!! Think of the kids man! The world is coming to an end.
