I was surprised when Obama voted for the unhindered wire-tapping, a bill sponsored by the GOP, Bush himself. I was even surprised hearing that Obama is now for a ground condition-based withdrawal from Iraq. I thought it was McCain's idea. Even in health care, some people insist that Obama is for universal health care coverage - but few months ago it was Hillary Clinton's campaign staple and Obama was more like status quo, health insurance for people who can afford it, not a mandated covergae.
i sense something insincere and something artificial with him as if he tries to act cool and sympathetic, though i deeply want him to be the president
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 We still got a lot hills to climb but its Obama time OBAMA Democrats gonna be just fine Cause its Obama time OBAMA
GoBig, you're right on the money. You might also want to note that McCain doesn't make much sense either...McCain sounds like he want's to go to bed with Obama! Good grief, he is tripping all over himself to let everyone know how much he likes, respects, adores, and admires the qualities of Barack. Suggestion: "Mr. McCain, why don't you just bow out of the race and vote for the one you so much admire?"
Yo, its all about the party now, let's get it tight Democrats everywhere -- we must unite The Republicans are sitting, grinning, ready to fight So we gotta get the last laugh on Election night 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
I'd like to see him say this without reading word for word from the prompter. Rush posted a sound byte where he was forced to speak on his feet in a debate and he sound 10x worse than anything Bush has said.
Search for it if you don't know what I'm talking about...
Desde Alemania voy a votar, ojala que el resto de Norteamericanos que pueden votar via Absentee voter lo hagan. Necesitamos apoyar a Obama. Si se puede!!!
i'm from sweden and not singel person here dosint whant obama to win and we ar not unintelligent people. i think that obama whoud get 80% of all the votes if the hole world was voteing! so America listen to the world and vote Obama!
What you're saying, Sen. Obama, is "I believe in public financing, but I'll do anything to win." Change my butt. This makes at least 3 180 degree flips in the last 6 months. The most disgusting thing--the majority of the media are actually defending his decision! I used to laugh at the idea of media conspiracies, but we all know that if this had been McCain, the media would have torn him to pieces while chanting "McBush". *Leaving to burn my Obama bumper-sticker*
Why would you lose faith in him? He's not accepting public funds BECAUSE he said he would not support lobbyists. The whole point of his campaign is to be for the people, not the rich lobbyists in Washington.
I'm voting Obama! BUT... Thanks to your plan to increase funding to the already-unethical "Faith Based Initiative", I've also decided to donate $5000 to American Atheists and $5000 to the Civil Liberties Union. I've applied at several local churches and been turned down onteh basis of not being a member of the church, and, specifically, not being a member of their faiths. When those churches receive funding, I'll be sitting pretty with the money I get from the discrimination lawsuits.
Does anyon care that McCain: 1) in 2006 stopped supporting his own campaign finance legislation when he started his own Presidental campaign, that 2) in 2007 opted back into public financing when his campaign ran out of money and used it as collateral for two loans and 3) in October 2007 when he won the primary and nolonger needed public money, illegally opted back out until 4) June 2008 when Obama raised more money than he did so he opted back in?
Yet again obama continues to demonstrate how he is bringing change and a new politics into this election. I am drawn to his intelligence and honesty. He does not engage in meaningless arguments and does not launch attacks and offences to his opponent. I really belive and hope that this very talented man will lead this country out from the slum we are in and into a prosperous new era. GO OBAMA!!!
uh, these comments areas are not the place for big political discussion. obama is going to our next president. he's an amazing human and his spirit is going to return us to a world where americans aren't disliked all over the world. we voted for bush twice... well the south did... and obama's DC inexperience is his #1 quality. for the record, i used to be a skinhead and people like obama are what made me realize i was off in my thinking. GO OBAMA!
Hope he wins, economy is getting bad and gas prices don't help, we don't want to get worse, not saying maccain is going to do a good job, its just the odds are against him
I believe that this man will help our country return to it's HEART! We, the People of the United States of America (Those who know what it's like to actually work hard to earn their living - not those who have it "handed" to them or do things the wrong way), WILL have OUR country back!!! And Obama is the way! Listen, study, learn and DO!
I think the possibility of a Barack Obama presidency is absolutely TERRIFYING!! This man has no business in the White House. I forsee dark times ahead if he is elected. And by the way, his being bi-racial has NOTHING to do with my feelings about him.
He "changed his mind" not because it is broken. He did it so he could get more money. Why do you people want giant government? Name me one government program that isn,t extremely flawed.
0bama u are God send for America..so inspiring and we can feel the future under your administration so bright Sir..this is a genuine step Mr 0bama..thank you
i cant vote for 2 reasons i'm 2 young and i'm canadian but wait before you put a thumb down on my comment let me say this just because i'm not american that does not mean i dont like america and for the people that can vote, vote for obama
It's funny the Republicans can only attack him with comment rating... since this video has almost 5 stars. They forgot that most of us move on to other newer videos and stop rating, haha... so funny. Republicans can keep grasping for straws!
nice work, obama. didn't you state in writing that you would accept public financing? i don't remember you calling it "broken" then. let's see, this makes how many changes of heart obama has made in the last few weeks? the d.c. gun ban, troop withdrawal from iraq, nafta, wiretapping, and now this.
More lies. Why did you change your mind Obama? I guess integrity isn't apart of your character.
I KNOW this will never be posted... you censor your comments. McCain doesn't screen his comments. He believes in free speech. I guess Obama is afraid of the TRUTH.
Obama or Die? What kind of slogan is that? You should be ashamed.
To my fellow Obama supporters - Senator Obama gallantly stood up against the FISA act ... but now he is supporting it!
It is more important than ever to hold Senator Obama to his promise to stop this attack on our civil liberties.
I will be the first person in line on election day to vote for Barack Obama. However, we can not allow our passion for his candidacy to override our common sense - if Senator Obama continues to tack to the right, our fight will have been for naught. STOP FISA NOW!
He has to win and win big. Perhaps a historical victory that no other US president had ever achieved. I hope the American people will give him a chance to achieve what is best for this country by an overwhelming mandate instead of a narrow victory. May this be a victory of the American people to move forward and for the US to reclaim it's former role as
Both sides get money from individuals or PACS which all have their own interests. If the public system is broken, you are the lawmakers, fix it! If special interest groups are running the country it's because all prior politicians who promised us everything continued to let it happen, they got into office and did nothing. What will you do about it if you are elected? Politics as usual? (This is directed at BOTH candidates!)
Obama "I don't take money from oil companies or Washington lobbyists, and I won't let them block change anymore"
It's true Obama doesn't take money from oil companies, but then, no presidential candidate does. Corps have been prohibited from contributing to federal candidates since 1907.
Obama has, however, accepted more than $213,000 in contributions from individuals who work for, or whose spouses work for, companies in the oil industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Thanks Obama for not caring to do anything about the high gas prices! You will lose to McCain on this issue along with any Democrat who does nothing for the public on this Issue!
People my Grandfather immigrated from Cuba WITH HIS FAMILY to Virginia (where there are no hispanics) and you know what? he got off his ass and worked hard and ended up providing for his family and ended up living middle class. I have sympathy for poor people trust me i do but sitting around moaning isnt going to make your life any better
I don't think they should sit around moaning either, but that doesn't mean the government shouldn't give them a little help to pull themselves out of poverty.
not all poor people sit around and moan. some actually are looking for jobs, or have a job and still dont have the means to maybe persue the american dream. i think this dude could help those people out a little and everybody else out for the matter.
Hold on now. I'm sure we can all get our hands on a copy of this speech in it's entirety, with a charitable and substantial enough contribution to the Obama campaign. They may even throw in a couple of those bumper stickers and hat pins I'm sick and tired of looking at!
There is something really creepy and phony about Obama. One day he says he's for something and then later says he's against it. That makes him a liar too. If I did that my friends would call me on it.
Who cares if Britain, Italy, or any other country supports Senator Obama. We are the United States and we do not need to conform to the rest of the world and there views. We need to stand strong for what our Nation stands for. We need to stand on our own feet and be a nation of integrity, honesty,and morals.We care more about what the rest of the world thinks about us being in Iraq than how we allow inconvenient babies to be aborted.What a shame. It's time to wake up.
Why did Alexander The Great was saying "I am fighting for the glory of GREEKS" ?
Why did he attack Persia in order to take revenge for Persian invasion in his homeland GREECE as he said? to Dareios?
Why did he say: "For I (Alexander I) myself am by ancient descent a Greek, and I would not willingly see Hellas change her freedom for slavery."[Herodotus IX 45]
YES. This campaign is historic and unprecedented in every way. Let us weed out the special interests that have locked the people out of their own government. The only special interests that should have Washington's ear are THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
i don't know anymore, obama is slipping a bit in my eyes. he was great in the primaries but he's politicising too much now, even when he can win without losing his standpoints - take the death penalty for child rapists and the gun control cases. i guess he was too good to be true. i just hope he's only bullshitting everyone now to win over republicans and independents and he'll do the right thing once he's in office - i'm too young to become a cynic...
What is interesting to me, is not just how much this election matters to Americans, but how much it matters to those overseas. This kind of attention underscores the presence the United States has on the world stage, as well as the effects our recent actions have had on other nations.
I cannot say that I fully support Barack's policies, or fully trust his abilities. I however can state with full honesty that I will note be voting for the 'other' guy.
I very much hope Barack will be the next US President even though I live in Italy and I am italian, but I do believe electing barack would be a great change not only for america but for all the entire world..the first president who really cares about us..all of us black,white, asians, native etc..
A rare moment of weakness for Barack, both in the presentation of the video and in the "spin" of this decision. He's still better than McCain, but he lost esteem here.
I knew you wouldn't post my comment regarding BO's biggest campaign donors. Hypocrites! You are a democrat so you must believe in Free Speech. Say anything, any time, anywhere...........
I'm from the Netherlands and obviously don't have much to do with America's elections this year, but he's stating the exact points in the American system that are considered "weird" when compared to our West-European system. I hope he can make this happen.
Hey Barack...if you want to bail out Hillary's debt, why don't you hit up your millionaire friends (Oprah?) instead of we, your supporters, who can't afford anything anymore? Don't you have any idea how desperate we the people really are?
Got an oil bill that exceeded my mortgage (and we are now in summer temps). Used my economic incentive check to put money down on a wood stove because I cant afford to heat my home any longer with oil. I've taken a 2nd job, and now that isn't keeping up with costs. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THE GOP AGAIN. This war was a crime against humanity too. Where is the link between 911 and Iraq. Impeach NOW. Ashamed american.
Barack Obama reminds me of The Peanuts character Charlie Brown at a glance something in the shape of his face and his personality reminds me of Charlie Brown funny ha a guy that has Charlie Brown quality's cant be all bad :)
I aint a yankee, im half english and half iraqi, but i've looked at some of this man's speeches. And i would love to see him as president, because maybe he can change America from the super bully back to the super powr. Get in there badman.
I think the only think broken with the system is that public money should not have been availible in the first place. But I also think accounting for who donates money should start at $1 not $200. I don't care who donates or how much but it should be public so we know who's buying you.
The amount spent on election campaigns is enough to build several schools, homes for the elderly, fund numerous public events... and the list goes on. *sigh*
get over middle eastern names idiot they are just names, a lot of middle eastern people arent muslim and even if they were it doesnt mean they're all bad plus more people have died in the name of a white christ so should people assume the davids and josephs out there are killers
McCain continuing the war? Lets see here his message about being in war for 100 more years is really implying that we will have bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, And Iran. We've had bases in every country we have ever had a war with.
Obama has made it clear that he no longer cares about the interests of the left. VOTE NADER. The only candidate who wants to remove our entire presence from Iraq and supports national single-payer health insurance. Obama will not care about progressive interests unless the left abandons him.
With this candidate it is possible that the United States could gain back the respect of the free world - so damaged by the Bush administration. Wishing you well Mt. Obama,
Are people really buying what he says. He did accept tax money for the general election (85mil) because he would have to give up the 300mil he has collected so far.
I love Obama. I really hope he win and I will vote for him. People made jokes about him not accepting public funding but I took political science class and I understand why he didn't take it. I wish the people of America look pass the race and look at a great president. Go Obama!

Bush has been so damaging to America and to it's relationship with the world.
Obama seems dignified, intelligent and forward thinking, which can be only be a good thing.
I'm English so I don't know so much about McCain, but Obama is impressive!
wickywhite 3 years ago 7
McCain served in the military back in Vietnam, and is given credit for it.
But right now in 2008 he's pretty much a war-hawk. He doesn't want to withdraw at all...ever. Hope Obama wins.

There is something really creepy and phony about Obama. One day he says he's for something and then later says he's against it. That makes him a liar too. If I did that my friends would call me on it.

Who cares if Britain, Italy, or any other country supports Senator Obama. We are the United States and we do not need to conform to the rest of the world and there views. We need to stand strong for what our Nation stands for. We need to stand on our own feet and be a nation of integrity, honesty,and morals.We care more about what the rest of the world thinks about us being in Iraq than how we allow inconvenient babies to be aborted.What a shame. It's time to wake up.

Why did Alexander The Great was saying "I am fighting for the glory of GREEKS" ?
Why did he attack Persia in order to take revenge for Persian invasion in his homeland GREECE as he said? to Dareios?
Why did he say: "For I (Alexander I) myself am by ancient descent a Greek, and I would not willingly see Hellas change her freedom for slavery."[Herodotus IX 45]
Why did he speak only Greek?
Why did he write only in Greek?

YES. This campaign is historic and unprecedented in every way. Let us weed out the special interests that have locked the people out of their own government. The only special interests that should have Washington's ear are THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

i don't know anymore, obama is slipping a bit in my eyes. he was great in the primaries but he's politicising too much now, even when he can win without losing his standpoints - take the death penalty for child rapists and the gun control cases. i guess he was too good to be true. i just hope he's only bullshitting everyone now to win over republicans and independents and he'll do the right thing once he's in office - i'm too young to become a cynic...

What is interesting to me, is not just how much this election matters to Americans, but how much it matters to those overseas. This kind of attention underscores the presence the United States has on the world stage, as well as the effects our recent actions have had on other nations.
I cannot say that I fully support Barack's policies, or fully trust his abilities. I however can state with full honesty that I will note be voting for the 'other' guy.
Change CAN be a good thing.

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THE GOP AGAIN. This war was a crime against humanity too. Where is the link between 911 and Iraq. Impeach NOW. Ashamed american.

I think the only think broken with the system is that public money should not have been availible in the first place. But I also think accounting for who donates money should start at $1 not $200. I don't care who donates or how much but it should be public so we know who's buying you.

Obama has made it clear that he no longer cares about the interests of the left. VOTE NADER. The only candidate who wants to remove our entire presence from Iraq and supports national single-payer health insurance. Obama will not care about progressive interests unless the left abandons him.
