PoliticsTV @ Yearly Kos '07: Barack Obama

[BlumpProductions]

Compare Obama back then to Obama now...TERRIFYING how phony he is

[suleimangazi]

He can speak english better than many Iranian high school students which is an improvement on the current president.

[gcbenazzi]

I disagree with any Democrat funding the war in Iraq. Obama continues to fund the war...Kucinich is the only candidate from the beginning to vote against the war, plus continues to vote against its funding, not to mention has a real universal not for profit health care plan. obama is strong but lacks experience, for me he does not express enough passion for this position. bottom line he, like most candidates, does not shed a trust worthy vibration. KUCINICH 2008

It's obvious you haven't been following Obama's policy...HE VOTED NO TO GO WAR!!! He was the only one on panel that voted NO for war. Get your facts right before you open your mouth!

We will, we will BARACK YOU!!!

[sanctums]

You idiots, he wasn't in office when we went to war.

[cmclvl84]

Reply to sanctums:

If you're talking to one person the word is "idiot", not idiots. You're the IDIOT!!! The invasion of Iraq, which began on March 18 to May 1, 2003, was led by the United States, backed by British forces and smaller contingents from Australia and Poland. Other countries were involved in its aftermath. The invasion launched the Iraq War, which is ongoing.

Think before you post.

[sanctums]

A)I stand by my statement, it is a mute point to say "he voted not to go to war" as Barack Obama wasn't in office when the war began. Obama took office January 3rd 2005. Thta was the same point I was trying to make about gcbenazzi's comment. Therefor Idiot(s) plural.

[gcbenazzi]

vote Kucinich 2008....barack is just another media puppet...wake up people and do your own research, plus, for any1 who is voting for some1 just because they are black or is female..please just dont bother voting, idiots.

[derekarmstrong]

I am not voting for Obama simply because he is black. In terms of Hillary, I wouldn't vote for her if you put a gun to my head. Barack Obama is the most solid candidate running. Kucinich is also very capable and intelligent, but let's face facts - he's as likeable as Hillary. Therefore, I'm backing Obama.

what a puppet of greed...

[jorgitoesbonito]

Its al bla bla bla, will they do what they are saying if they get presidency? UMMM not because no one has before...no one understand politics not even them.

[BlackDudeNiceFeet]

He was fire!!

The FEC has fined one of the biggest liberal political action committees $775,000 for using unregulated soft money to boost John Kerry and other Democratic candidates during the 2004 . America Coming Together (ACT) raised $137 million for its get-out-the-vote effort in 2004, but the FEC found most of that cash came through contributions that violated federal law. The group's big donors included George Soros, Progressive Corp. chairman Peter Lewis and the SEIU

[luckybee15]

I'll give me vote to him too.

[riondotnu]

I'm voting for Barack.

[jeromemdayao]

obama is good but he will definitely not win. Im sorry america is more ready to have a woman president, than to have a black president. I'm nothing being racist, though, it's minority vs. majority. But Obama is really very smart.

[lowvolt24dc]

As a person of color, you learn not to mistake truth about race for racism. So you are right, america is more likely to accept a white woman as their next president over a black man who may be the beter candidate. My only hope is that people decide to not accept more of the same from their politicians. Frankly I wish biden was doing better.

[nate4alpha]

Obama has a full understanding how to shape the America of the old into the productive America of the new. The president should be one to make honest, rational decisions oppose to letting the mass mojority of his staff and/or group members think for him. Bush is is failing mentally and therefore causing the US to fail as a whole. The conspiracy about Bush, his staff, and followers appears to be true because he has been caught in a lie several times. 'HONESTY IS A MUST'

[lordvulcrum]

I fully support Obama.

[kenking11]

I really appreciate and respect Senator Obama's sense of reclaiming an America government for, of and by the people. I believe we need someone who commands respect and projects a strong identity and connection with the people and the ability to rally them to accept and support his proposals. We also need Hillary's passion, experience and political connections on our ticket. What do we do?

[mvaincw4e2e0d]

what about our failed drug poilices stop the out of dabate out of mind hello large issue

[saully1966]

Obama is the right person to be the next president. The media will push Hillary. I love Hillary, however, the right wing media will surely revisit the worst aspects of her husbands presidency to defeat her in the general election. I believe that is why they speak so fondly of her in their commentary and insipid attempt to prop her up as a target. Think about it.

[MX900]

I LOVE THIS GUY

[moon4kat]

Obama is brilliant, articulate and right on most of the key issues. I'd like our next Pres to have his and Richardson's politics with Clinton's experience.

[derekarmstrong]

Clinton's experience amounts to repeated failures and terrible misjudgements. Just my two cents.

I agree with you that Obama is articulate and on key with voters. But here's the deal - I don't think "experience" means anything, especially when he's on par with Abraham Lincoln and JFK in terms of time spent rotting in a Washington office.

[daveharrison84]

Obama was aboslutely right about China and the competition for influence in the world. I'm glad our politicians are finally talking about it.

[toospecial]

I thought given the time frame that Obama had to answer in that he did a fantastic job in responding to every question. How in depth can you get in 30 seconds? We can elect Obama and we need to stop putting obsticales in our way. It is time to stop politics as usual.

[k11cker11]

Even if Obama WAS the best candidate of all, America would never allow him to be president for the simple fact that he's black.

[junkie4vids]

Obama is inexperienced, he wants to bomb Pakistan, he wants to meet with tyrants, he is too superficial on his policies -- those are the reasons why he will not win.

[lowvolt24dc]

Your right, Obama is inexperienced in politics as usual unlike George Bush who is very clear, concise and honest with the american people (not). That is also the unfortunate truth for many of the Democratic candidates but I guess its true the candidate who sounds the most confident usually convinces the idiots, while the most honest candidate convinces no-one.

[junkie4vids]

The difference between Bush and Obama is that Bush never proposed bombing nuclear-Pakistan and meeting with Chavez, the Iranian holocaust-denier, and other tyrants. In plain language, Obama isn't even able to get out of the starting gate with a sound policy foundation. There are plenty of Dem and Repub candidates who offer a better starting point than what Obama has proposed.

[mikeyrbenny]

u have been brain washed by shaun shamity and brush lintballl man!!

[Basketball80]

Wow! junki4vids I don't know where you get your info but you couldn't be more wrong.

[plumridge123]

Also, go obama.

[plumridge123]

fixhist, your presentation is not suitable for youtube, much less a bar. I'm offering a pretty low standard given that youtube commenters usually post chain letters or links to dating sites, so just clean up the incoherent sentences and then maybe people will be able to comprehend what you said.

[Fixhist]

Osama'a presentation might be good for bar/ coffee house talk,not suitable for a statesman- pass this time.

[Fixhist]

Obama dosn't have in depth vision, he touches superficially on a current issue,which people like to hear followed by another worst plan on the same or yet another front. He is vocal to stop war in Iraq, Million Iraqis killed.Afghanistan and Iraq devastated, big applause! He goes to hunt one more time Alqaeda in Pakistan? He says universal healthcare and insurance pay a Billion $'s in lobbying,Why can't he get Anthrax & 911 went in benefit to the same lobbies?
