[Hiphopluva00]

I went to this rally. It was great, Go Obama!

[nmk9543]

I'm a student at Texas State and I wanted to go to this rally so bad! But I had other prior engagements. At least YouTube is here so people can post videos of the occasion. It's not the same as being there but it'll have to do.

[ForestWitch101]

OMG! I saw myself!

I was at this.

GO OMBAMA!

[BACKFIREFUR]

I was there.

[fsrafols]

Man... This guy is a genius... The WORLD expects him to win...

[fsrafols]

Man... This guy is a genius... It's true that the WORLD expect him to win...

[Obakedake]

A wonderful speech by a truly great man. Just what we need to turn this world around!

[AphiAGammaXi06]

I'm a 40yr old Black male from Los Angeles California. This past Sunday I was at work when I seen a gentleman that speaks to me every morning passing by my job. He normally stops and says hello, but on this day he didn't stop. I notice he was walking with a horrible limp, so I ran out my job and asked him what happened, he told me he had a stroke Thursday. His left side is partially paralyzed, he could not move his hand and he just swings his leg to walk.

[MISTAFIEDONEEIGHTSEV]

Here is your new Hope!

[aascani87]

Please America let him be your president. All the Europe believes in change, what about you?

Hillary has a good message but her financial backers may have a different idea and I'm afraid it will sway her votes. Go Barack!

[wildsummernights]

finally a politician that I`d vote for. For decades we`ve had empty shirts & now we`ve got a man who I believe CAN deliver the change we need. Go Obama & will Texas.

[humynism]

THIS is an AMAZING MAN! A true humanitarian. Feminists, let's go, vote Obama!!!

[GlennBel]

He's a rock star!!

[geesxr]

Obama! Our best hope....

[jakeisbamgood]

there were so many more people there than shown

[penguinruler112]

go democrats. more importantly GO BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!

[SeventiesPopRock]

I don't want Hillary, because both her and Bush were largely responsible for some 4,000 innocent young lives lost in a worthless war.

Hillary does not have much experience. She was only first lady for 8 years, and a carpetbagger Senator from Arkansas who accomplished nothing for the New Yorkers. She only wanted that job for selfish reasons, and to position herself for the White House.

Does America really need 8 more years of failed CLINTON/BUSH leadership?

[cheetos81]

OBAMA 08'

There will finally be change in america.

[bobwesttt]

Be sure that one man Barack Obama is inspiring the hopes and dreams of so many of us OUR time has come finally...what is happening in america now is history in the making... be sure to be part of it vote for Obama ! OUR NEXT PRESIDENT ! texas bring Obama HOME to the white house for ALL of us !!

"Damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead"!!

If you want progression vote Obama 08!!!!

[matthewc4e]

ALTHOUGH I HAVE CRITISIZED AMERICAN POLITICS ( DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN ) MANY TIMES, AT LAST I SEE A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. THIS MAN IS EVERY MAN'S HOPE FOR PEACE, JUSTICE AND TRUTH NOT ONLY IN THE U.S.A, BUT ALSO WORLDWIDE. GO OBAMA, GO! - Matthew, GREECE

[lakshmezulululu]

This man is America's best hope. It is so exciting to see a man of such quality and integrity running for your president.

I'm wearing my Obama T-shirt right now.

Your UK friend

[alwaysalion]

Excellent!Like the way he talks and expresses himself!

[SaitFaik54]

You have done wonderful so far Obama. As a foreigner I see in you the power that not only might unify the American nation but lead the entire world towards a higher level of brotherhood of nations. Well done so far. Hear us Texas and Ohio. It is now your turn to give support to this exciting cause.

[justcallmebaby]

Integrity. Honesty. Common Sense. Vision. Brilliance. Straight Talk.

OBAMA 08!!!

[Push4Harmony]

Just image how much (like 5-6 times) more effective as President if Obama's to become vice-president first!

Just image it; he'll be influencing the policies for 16 years.

You don't want him as president just yet. Hillary could not be selected as vice-president. BUT IMAGINE THE COUNTRY WE'LL HAVE IF HE'S IN THE OVAL OFFICE FOR 16 YEARS OBAMA FANS. Be careful of your choice since Nadars back in the race to divide. Hillary for President08

I just want ppl for vote Obama for 16 years!

[faithinoregon]

He's a good speaker, but there is no substance.... He doesn't say HOW he is going to do anything. Probably because he has no experience. There just aren't any good choices for president this time.

[crackpipe73]

They looped the applause in the end, starting at 3:12. That's kinda weak.

[TheFitConnection]

It's Barack all the way!!!

[MYPanicAttack]

...big crowd.....big crowd...

[kattex44]

I went to this rally and was very happy to see about 20,000 people there. Especially the young people. Texas State loves Obama!

[pepone66]

i like chicken too...Go Obama!!!

[ooxxee]

You make us feel proud again. No Politics, just straight talk... I am very excited for America

[anarchyantichrist]

TX State is Obama Country!

[looteybelle]

obama you will be the next president of the united states

[habalya]

I am so happy for you,

your friend from Britain

[fiero619]

Obama is the next best thing for this country. Look how Clinton acts she is freak and can be a crazy person. I don't want someone like her in office. I have news for Hilary she is not the only one that can pick up the phone at 3:00am, so can I and many other people like Obama. Grow up Hilary. Viva Obama! He represents the people not people after the peoples money!

[conducta]

THE STATE OF TEXAS...YES YOU CAN!!!!

[mahowel]

Stop stealing from Bob the builder damn you.

[Koffi54]

this dude can bring the back the respect that AMERICA used to have before, everywhere USA is unpopular than the times of VIETNAM war, except in AFRICA, sending troops around the world is not the answer, good talks and diplomacy can do better than wars

[Dunniebrasco]

cedarpose,, that is not just you bro ;)

preamble to the declaration of independence

[mrfida]

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

This is from the preamble and why I am voting Obama '08.

[bemental]

God, How I love his honesty!

[magnethormodsaeter]

Go bama!

[Karlideem]

At this juncture in time and space, the thought that goes out in the universe for me is this: Whether Obama recognizes this or not, he is standing in the center of that point, where, specific epochs begin. For America, the period of experimentation is almost at it's end so here we are at a most crucial time in our history when it appears that everything that America could be is waning at the very center point that Obama is placed upon,maybe, to ignite America to what she should be. Peace

[zkoticha]

obama 08, i cant wait!!

[OBAMAOurLastHope]

Obama deserves a bigger office than US presidency,we should hold world elections and make him president of planet earth.

OBAMA08!!1

[othmanechicago]

If Americans don't vote for Obama. Then I will move to another country. May be a more advance country.

[Gondeath]

"Change happens from the bottom up"

That is why inspiring people have so much purpose in our country.

Lincoln only held office once (2 years as an Illinois representative) before his inauguration to the President of the United States in 1860. He did not have a great amount of "Washington Experience" but his message resonated with the people.

[lulustive]

The past two debates made things clear for me, American needs a president who will bring back a government of the people, by the people, and FOR the people. Who will bring honesty and integrity back to the white house. who unites the country and leads us into the future. Barack Obama is the one!

[Walid1212]

some bad editing at the End. He seems to have that Aviator syndrome. I think its called OCD.

[efeez1986]

Only an idiot wouldn't vote for Barack. I've lost all respect for Hilary Clinton. She's been taking so many cheap shots at Barack it's pathetic. Her behavior has been so childish to the point where she's not even my 2nd choice anymore, Barack is the one and only choice.

[passwordthisass]

Hillary and Obama are the same candidate with different masks . They take the same money and follow the same corporate masters !

[other49]

why doesn't anyone question this guy the way other politicians are questioned. he plays politics as usual games too (working with insurance lobbyists in illinois, seriously watering down a nuclear protection bill in favor of the company exelon who is his 4th largest contributor, giving super delegates 3 times as much money as clinton to vote for him, lying about his position on NAFTA as reported on CTV).

[pizzaspy]

This guy is amazing.

[hansontm]

amen brother. this man gets it.

[TexanMike]

Factually inaccurate, OBAMA.

AL QAIDA WAS IN IRAQ--BEFORE-- WE LIBERATED IRAQ

You're WRONG. Look at COLIN POWELLS Speech at the UN, look at George Tenets Book, look at Jordanian King Abdullah II.....

They all confirmed AL QAIDA IN IRAQ AS EARLY AS 2001

[fpstrainers]

It seems to me, the only people who won't vote for him are the people who don't give him a chance and believe stupid untrue rumors.

[other49]

why doesn't anyone question this guy the way other politicians are questioned. he plays politics as usual games too (working with insurance lobbyists in illinois, seriously watering down a nuclear protection bill in favor of the company exelon who is his 4th largest contributor, giving super delegates 3 times as much money as clinton to vote for him, lying about his position on NAFTA as reported on CTV). why does everyone just accept that he is who he says w/out thinking about it themselves.

[areki38]

could be true

[munghunter]

OBAMA '08!!!!!!!

[thuwein]

Now thats a good rally.

[Hotshortie]

Come on Texas

Please bring Obama across the finish line

We all need to volunteer for obama. Go to his web site and you can help!

Viva Obama!!!

[egtower]

Obama will probably lose Texas because of people like Rush Limbaugh .. the republican base will shift to the center. Hilary doesn't compete as well against McCain as

'The Great Obama'

[manbearpig91]

YES.WE.CAN.

[pyrocassi1269]

I go to Texas State University..he did his speech in Sewell Park on our campus. That was one of the best speeches I have ever heard. Really made me decide to vote for him.

[KIG23]

OBAMA needs Texas.

I am in IL, and my parents both voted for him.

[videovitae]

Don't worry arhoo69 I live in New Zealand and wish I could vote for Obama,...yes we can! OBAMA!! 08!!!

[balcerhouse]

When the Sentencing Commission voted in November to lower sentencing guidelines for crack-related crimes, and bring them closer to sentences for powder cocaine, Obama favored applying the new terms retroactively to current prisoners, while Clinton opposed it

[cedarpose]

I don't understand how anyone wouldn't vote for him. but that's just me

[4wehttam]

Please clarify. What is it that you don't understand? Do you think because he talks about hope and inspiration that somehow he's full of BS? I personally don't feel that he is, but whose to say that whether anyone is full of BS or not. All politicians talk the talk, but most don't deliver and NONE have gotten this nation as galvanized as this man have. All I know is though he may not have as much experience as Clinton, he has by far surpassed her in integrity, judgement and leadership skills.

[Lardossan]

He sends chills up my spine and I'm not even american, heh. America will reclaim so much more respect throughout the world with a man like Obama. Bush has sent america to new lows and now Obama is here to lift the people back up. He has my full support, Go Obama Go!

[samait2]

Obama's health care plan would cover 23 million of those currently uninsured, at a taxpayer cost of $102 billion per year. Clinton's health care plan, an otherwise identical plan with mandates would cover 45 million of the uninsured — essentially everyone — at a taxpayer cost of $124 billion. Over all, the Obama plan would cost $4,400 per newly insured person. The Clinton plan is only $2,700 per newly insured person and is paid by the government. Google Clinton, Obama, Insurance by PAUL KRUGMAN

[mariya421]

I was there!!! front row!:))

Go OBAMA!

[Bungee56]

the one and only for PREZ!

[gamejatt]

Man if all the individuals who show up to rallies vote for barack, then there will be no stopping. Straight talking express will be derailed come November once for all. Just like barack says John mccain is good guy but he is on the other side of the isle.

[jessyelane]

I wish I was there. A Great Loss...

[sanicharra]

i whould vote 4 obama but i cant cause i cant vote im 2 young lolz lolz

[dwaynewright84]

Ratafari for Obama.

[PeterTheWarrior]

i first replied, to goodbyeporcelain. With regards to Senator Clinton, I think that she is a capable, intelligent, and very competent person, however, i do not believe she should be president. I think that she can always serve her country in other ways.

[dnyamweya]

Kissing hundreds of babies ..Lol!

[ki6eki]

oh yeah someone is going to contribute $1,000.. wow

[Robe2286]

That was one of the most Awesome experiences ever, I was so in that crowd.He was so moving and I was on the fence, now I'm leaning toward Barack. Obama 'O8!!!

Texas State University, Go CAts!!!

[FL4BarackObama08]

TEXAS BA-ROCK THE VOTE FOR OBAMA!!

[Soulquarium]

Please don't let us down Texas. We desperately need you to come and support Barack on May 4th. We need to get this primary over with so barack can shift his focus to John McCain.

[GoodByePorcelain]

You couldn't pay me enough to vote for anybody but Barack Obama.

[Goddessgol]

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PeterTheWarrior]

I second that comment. I'll say, that if Hillary wins because of so-called superdelegates, i will never EVER vote again.

[gmkool]

OBAMA for President!!! Go Obama Go!!!

[ashlygirl1234]

wooooo! OBAMA '08!

[mikebtko]

OBAMA 08!

[MVPowerGTX]

To me, Barack Obama is a man who come from simple humble background, motivate himself to make himself somebody and pursue to help those people in his home state of Illinois. This person in my view has the makings of a great leader which is rarely seen in this world. He's a person you can believe and bring this country together instead of creating barriers. He's not in this race for his own personal ambition as some candidates, he's in for the American people, for us. OBAMA' 08

[JDDammit]

You cant bring a country together on carisma alone. If Anything his campaign is polarizing. especially with the whole "if youre not with us youre against us. You are Nieve if you think he is selfless. For 1 hes never served in an executive capasity on any level or in any area. 2nd any man/woman who runs for president has an ego. They think they are qualified to be pres. so lets not fool ourselves and think they are selfless.

[JDDammit]

If he can bring this country together then how will he do it. hes certainly not moderate and if you dont have that you have nothing. Besides theres no substance in his fantastic oratorical abilities.

[TnshWytt]

Spread da word people!!! Contact all of your friends/loved ones in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island..and ANYWHERE ELSE... and lets spread this Obama fever!!! This is what we've been waiting so long for people.. finally someone who's REAL!!!

OHHHHBOMMMMMBMAAHHHHHH '08! YESSIRR!

[newyorkfish]

I agree.

We are Obama's agents.

We are the agents of change.

It is our civic duty to help the misguided back on the right track.

Every American is our friend.

We must demonstrate change by changing ourselves so that others can believe.

Yes we can !!

[MVPowerGTX]

In my personal opinion, education suppose to be a key to open many doors. It suppose to make man more sensible and more understanding. But in President Bush case who come from a prestigious family and a well educated background proved to me that not all who come from those schools are well mannered but are a bunch of spoiled kids who careless.

[gr3atkhali]

EVERYONE VOTE FOR OBAMA!!

[arh0069]

i live in san marcos tx. but i didnt get a chance to go i wish i would have

[arh0069]

i live in san marcose but i didnt get a chance to go i wish i would have.

Wow!!! That is a lot of people. Maybe 20k there, only Obama can do that.

Obama 08!

[geodesicks]

This is from the preamble and why I am voting Obama 08

[cqsr63]

I live in Killeen Texas near Ft Hood...UI wish he had visited us. But, Military is historically Republican...so I see why he might not have spent as much time here....we are very close to San Marcos....

[cqsr63]

I feel VERY proud today. Proud that the younger generations have grown to judge people by the content of their character....and not the color of their skin......I feel proud to be an American. Thanks Mr. Obama.....The foundation for your success has been paid for by not only lives lost......but by the hope of the young lives of tomorrow!

God Bless you!

[lancerlot71]

GOD BLESS YOU

I've been reading and following Obama and what people have to say about him on YouTube for the longest time. And hands down this is the most beautiful and most accurate. PLEASE make your your voice is heard and your post is read. PLEASE, YOUR POST IS A REVELATION

[cqsr63]

I'm so Proud of America.....Having served in the army for 21 years.....growing up in the South ( Va.) ...after seeing all sorts of division amongst Americans......

[lancerlot71]

Hoorah

Repost my comments for me so others may see

[grlblu73]

The slogan is not "Yes I Can", it's "Yes WE Can" I want a president who inspires me to mobilize. Obama inspires me.

[valentino1000]

Clinton erases all comments on her videos. What about BarackObamadotcom? Do you filter comments? Or do you accept critical comments as well?

Well, here's the test.

[g07h4xf00]

Why would he do that? He actually believes in the rights and liberties of the people. He believes in the democracy on which the U.S. was built.

[seth553]

Listen to the audio from 3:10 on. You hear something like a cough and a sniffle, repeated three times. Now, you video doctors aren't trying to prolong the applause are you?

Let's keep it real folks. This is a minor violation of a major principle. Hillary's campaign is paying the price for its deception. Learn their lesson from afar.

[BarackObamadotcom]

Very astute! Good ears! The applause actually continued for a long long time, I didn't grab a big enough portion of it to cover the graphic when I was putting the clip up in the middle of the night, but your point is well taken. Thanks

[TheRealGervais]

You got to be sharp on things like that!

[blackson1977]

seth stop the madness bro stop the madness

[seth553]

I don't mean to harp on anyone. In fact I regret not having sent a private message instead of a public comment.

I just know, looking at Bill Cunningham the other day, that this will be a muckfest all they way to November. Truth and transparency is our sword and shield, and it must pervade the whole campaign.

[fairiestar]

omg! did you see all of those people? wow! you go obama!!!! you're going to make it. i know you're going to be our next president!

OBAMA 2008

[livefitnow]

Obama is quite correct in that he seeks to unite. Clinton has said, repeatedly, that she is a fighter. I don't want a fighter; that's just like bushy boy. I want someone that will bring us together to find solutions. We need to talk not fight.

Obama has shown me he can be diplomatic and see all sides and still get things done.

That is what I seek in our next president.

Yes. We. Can.

08ama.

[ferelis1144]

Some African American congressmen and women supporting Sen Clinton have said publicly they have received threatening and abusive emails from supporters of Sen. Obama. I would like to know why Sen. Obama has not made a statement repudiating this type of behavior someone gets hurt? Why would he accept the support who are trying to subvert the democratic process? Are you afraid to post this opinion? I have tried before and it has been erased.

[fluffstyle]

Great speech. I think he can win Texas and Ohio. We just cannot afford to take anything for granted at this point.

[bluecafe22]

I would love to hear this entire speech.
