[flowerwoman100]

[ElitePeasant]

i have to study this speech for English. Rather annoying.

[Flygplan35]

So i need my dad to become President to get a Dog?

[Kamjared]

3 people are redneck republicans

[Osborne337]

truely motivational wheen Obama speaks. I hope he gets re-elected.

[chrisjman]

so much potential just fading away week by week. I remember being so excited and proud watching that speech..to see it almost entirely forgotten is quite sad. The whole party just caved in to a GOP minority. Gotta hand it to them, they aren't in line with much of anything I believe in, but they hold steady on their policies.

[drake8835]

Im glad he won

[eye1em]

"If there is any one out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible... tonight is your answer."

[308728492308728492]

[delportero]

Why have only 23,471 people watched this?????

[dahoss2x]

@delportero probably because this idiot is on television everyday. People grow tired of listening to lies.

[incrediblehulkmovies]

I hear crickets croaking admist that "change" that suppose to be coming. I wonder when it'll get hear.

[PrettyEyes13579]

I Love Obama <3

[dahoss2x]

@PrettyEyes13579 You and every other know-knothing idiot waiting for the eagle to shit on them for sustenance.

[elquebecomagico]

[RashadT]

[TamaMan15]

obama is no president. he wants to put everyone on the same level. you cant do that. we're not on the same level. theres the people who get out and work hard for the things they have. they work hard so they can plant a seed so their children will grow up and do the same. then theres the low life lazy bums who wont get off their couch and get out and work. they just expect the government to give them everything. so see. you cant put us on the same level

[dhcrazy333]

you know nothing about what hes trying to do...

[xmentosx]

God look at all the camera's flashing.

[frijolero791]

A majority of whites who were conservative and of the religious right voted for McCain while Obamas 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

[NYerintransit]

I love this country. And I always will.

Even though it elected the wrong man in this election.

[chaser1522]

@NYerintransit You can't look someone in the face and tell them John McCain was a better choice without laughing can you?

[xmentosx]

Let the man have his opinions without ridiculing him -_-

[mieswurz]

its sad that a lot of people don't see his greatness and abilities, I'm glad he is our president. Give him time, he needs to clean up the mess of 8 years.....

[janisinamerica]

@mieswurz I totally agree with you! Although i'm not an American citizen i'm learning a lot about America because i'm a foreign exchange student. In my opinion people don't give him the benefit of the doubt. He has to clean up the mess of 8 years Bush administration. The national debt has not started during the Obama presidency, no during the Bush presidency. To everybody else, give him a chance and judge in 2012!

[9SolidSnake9]

"Bonapartess' I doubt you bought the change and hope during the election because you're are being cynical as of now. In this speech The Pres. said: "It's the answer, that led those who' d been told for so long, by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day." Seems you haven't seen a HCR bill yet and say it's gonna raise a war on the poor. Gimme a Break!

[Bonapartess]

Yes, change and hope. I bought it. And now he's waged war on the poor with insane healthcare reform, and is under the delusion that the best way to cover people who can't afford insurance is to make it mandatory, and when they can't produce money from thin-air, PENALIZE THEM. Yes, that makes alot of sense. It's easier to believe the poor are poor by choice and continue to grease a system designed to cater to the monpolies. Corporatism at it's finest. But boy I bought the hope and change bit.

[DougMcHead]

So your saying the health care system was fine the way it was? not covering the peoplel with pre existing conditions and only covering those willing to pay 500$ deductibles? I understand how it is supposed to work. Yea if your dirt poor and can't afford to pay for it then you can't afford to pay the fine either. But the rest of us that are just barely getting by that need it now can afford it. You can' please everyone all the time I suppose

[albokiller23]

cant wait until 2012 when newt gingrich has his victory speech.and send obama back to kenya where he belongs and also for sarah palin's 2020 victory speech

[toulousse1]

HAHAHAHA i love how dumb you hicks are.

[MnDrive]

what are you talking about...newt gingrich will probably be dead by 2012

[Dallasboy678]

my family has lived in texas for 8 generations, and have been democrats the whole time, but i am seeing the things democrats are saying about the state i love, and that is causing me to wonder if it's worth being a democrat in a place that my political party hates....i am tired of defending texas when i see hate comments about it.....i just don't think it's worth it. now the democratic party is one less.

[Deedrav721]

this is effing epic, so many people

[ihaveabigtv]

Obama for mankind!

[TamaMan15]

actually its "obama. born from monkeys. raised by monkeys. married a gorilla."

[ihaveabigtv]

um no...stop talking about yourself

[thelonelydandelion]

lol. he was raised by his mom. and his mom was a white woman. so do u mean being white is monkey too? and monkey is same species with gorilla. lol!

[DrClaw77]

@TamaMan15 born from a digestive tract, raised from a toilet.... a living piece of crap. STFU.

[DrClaw77]

@TamaMan15 born from a digestive tract, raised from a toilet.... a living piece of crap. STFU.

[MarzBeatz]

Two words.....HELLO CHICAGO

[wailywailywaily]

As historic a victory as this was and as many people as there were on the day who realised how profound an event it was I truly believe that we will be a ways down the road before the real impact is felt in historic terms. I believe that in years to come when this event is put into proper historical context it will genuinely be seen as a mark of the ever evolving greatness of a relatively new nation still defining itself at home and abroad and still willing to do that. Progress over stagnation

[Doggeerawr]

That smile at 0:29 was priceless. I tell you, here we have a revolutionary leader, ready to change and pull America through one of its most difficult economic times.

God bless President Obama.

[TamaMan15]

i give u 10 thumbs down. i cant wait until obama dies. then the world's muslim population will be one less

[dhcrazy333]

you ignorant asshole troll

[donottake]

Of all the pitfalls Obama might face in the presidency, here is one not many people predicted: He is struggling as a public communicator.

The sluggish and unsteady response to the uproar over AIG bonuses highlights a larger problem of his White House: Obamas surprisingly uneven campaign to educate people about the economic crisis and convince Washington and the broader public that he is in command of circumstances.

Big

Ass

Mistake

America

[charlzcox]

seeing their family is just as inspiring as his words ... while fashion is totally unimportant, it is so precious to see that his baby girl is not only holding his hand, but covered in the same fabric ... such hope ... god speed

[59418]

lol...let's wait and see.  Go Obama!

[LoveUconnie]

he is probably capable president.

[michele245]

remember this night.... just about everyone around me was standing with tears in their eyes... most with their hands clasped. great stuff

[Berlitz777]

God bless the world. Thank you for President Obama!

[fabien13140]

congratulations from france

[Berlitz777]

Thank you Fabien from America. My good friends name is Fabien.

[coccinelle80]

God Bless you President Obama!

[BlowsRaspberry]

God forbid YOU should ever share a name with an unsavory character.

I'm sure he's plenty thankful to God, but he doesn't feel the need to announce it. Did you miss the end where he says "God Bless America"?

[kkkkkkatherine]

BlowsRaspberry to what 'unsavory character' are you referring?

I sense you feel offended--need to defend Mr O.

tell me about that...

[BlowsRaspberry]

It's unimportant, there are plenty, but Katherine Knight is an example of a Katherine with a bad reputation.

I sense that you feel horny..need to express your sexual frustration.

Tell me about that..

Kidding, but that was about as random. Obama doesn't need defending, his character speaks for itself.

[Beamshipcaptain]

Obama believes in Separation of Church and State, as any responsible leader does. Besides, not everyone believes in God (lack of evidence), and we are a pluralistic society, and must respect the rights and beliefs of everyone, because thats what they are, BELIEFS, not TRUTH. BELIEFS have NO place in Government.

[sararandom]

We just witnessed history in the making.

[Jet03]

such a powerful message with such simple words...damn.O_o

[ericdeshaies]

obama talks like a great leader ! go barrack !

[dryzenga]

this will go down as one of the best speeches of all time. right up there with MLK and JFK.

FIRST!

Also this man will finally make us proud to be Americans again.
