Barack Obama in Titusville, Florida

[astrorider]

Extending at least ONE more flight after 2010...

First flight of Ares is 2015, can we do it faster now? It's time to give NASA the capital and support it needs!

[alljackedup408]

i live in titusville... lot of people showed up for that

[yeti60]

wow this is a good speech... I personally agree with him, I think we should spend more on the space program and less on the military (even though they are closely linked)

[ludawifey4lifey]

i was there but i was outside and it was hot, saw him wen he came out side

[jupiterstarmoonchild]

American People Wake Up, A Cable News Show Did A Polling And Obama Was Up By More Than 58% But CNN Shows a 8% Obama Lead So Where are Mccains Votes Coming From A Fox News Poll Showed 72% of Americans Thought George Bush Was The Worst President In Us History 63% Said There Was No Difference Between McCain and Bush. So Where Are His Votes Coming From Mccain gives a Speech he is lucky to get a few Hundred people, Obama gives a Speech There Are Tens of Thousands. Don't forget about Florida

[kelleybells]

the difference is many republicans are generally older, not taking online polls, and actually plan on voting in the elections. not to say obama isn't ahead, but dont count your chickens just yet. Grannies vote!

[YoshiSeven]

WOW!!! i'm speechless

[cute101pony]

yay Barack Obama!!!!!!!!

[Masterfilm15]

right on !!!!!!

[newpapyrus9]

Great speech! NASA needs a new vision that encourages space colonization and a more reusable space transportation system which should greatly enhance space commercialization and industrialization. I'm very excited about the National Aeronautics and Space Council and what innovative concepts they'll bring the table.

Go Obama!

[az4567891]

I used to live there ParkVillas i also lived in fair way woods.

[darwinx0101]

mccain doesn't know how to use a computer.

i know, i know...

[Sovieto]

exactly how does throwing more money into nasa.. which really doesnt return money... make our economy better?

[MrshmlloLuvLilli]

Barack Obama for president 2008!

GO OBAMA!!!

[tealrainne]

This sounds fantastic! I am a staunch supporter of NASA. However, didn't he say he was cutting funding from NASA to pay for science education? And that by doing this the Constellation program would be delayed by another 4 years at least?

Did he switch his position? I hope so.

[justcallmesoso]

i think he will finance Nasa programs through private solutions and working together with other countrys (a.k.a other funders). Smart solutions.

[selemawit14]

this is the man right here. someone to look up to. he makes you want to get involved.

not by discouraging us, but encouraging us.

yes we can!@

Barack-The Vote

we love you!

[allthismovie]

Obama talks about the same things all the time.

He can talk very good.

[IronyxEntertainment]

Happy Birthday Obama ! Keep your energy and dreams high :-) Love you R*

[charles45555]

obama 08

[TheArneDude]

Happy Birthday =)

[wiggitywordup]

I hope he wins. Its good to see there is progressive, forward thinking rhetoric again in U.S. politics. Bush pretty much derailed this country for a full 7 years, and I'd like to get back on track now.

[Hoshitori]

So, here I am, milling about the speeches on the internet like I sometimes do. I look away and hear, "our Space Program"

I said aloud, "Oh, PLEASE Mr. Obama!"

I'll vote for him becuase of this more than anything. Let's expand out into space!

Obama '08!

[kitthomas1997]

God bless OBAMA.We hope God will answer our prayers

[GroovyVideo2]

Thanks

[JasterW]

This was the big issue I was wary about in regards to supporting Obama. I had previously heard he was going to cut funding for the space program to help with Education.  I agree that Education is great, but the Space Program is not the thing that needs to suffer.

After this speech, he 100% has my vote.

[MLveirs]

Please help us get to space!

[sagafoundation]

Is there any word about disarmament??? How about reducing weapons, so that other nations do not have incentives to acquire them???

Senator Obama states that "As long as states retain nuclear weapons, the U.S. will maintain a nuclear deterrent that is strong, safe, secure and reliable." There is no change from what there is already in DC. I don't see any change.

[blondelove123]

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!! BOO MCCAIN!

[mcv47]

He's not quite as eloquent without his teleprompter. Global climate change? Doesn't he read the news?

[dziffybaby]

i wish i was american

obama 08 from all japanese

[darkstone243]

Finally we can start to look to the future again. This comfortable complacency is no longer comfortable lets break the mold and lead the world once more.

[AAL]

Yes Science!

[dpfrk]

I love Barack Obama. I hope he wins in 2008. America needs him. The world needs him.

[COBMIMDDS30STMJHEAA]

id like to see him talk about the education in one of his speeches. anybody know any links?

[tyepsu]

I agree with Obama on many issues but pouring billions of dollars into NASA is a total waste of money. We cannot even feed people in our own country yet we want to waste money to explore outerspace which has no real impact on the future. NASA has and always will be about pride and arrogance not about doing something that betters human kind.

[Bartfly]

Without NASA and a space program on the space coast, thousands more families would be in dire straits...Space exploration isn't just a pie in the sky thingamajig..it's a jobs issue....Tens of thousands of people depend on jobs revolving around space, science and technology...

[submissions72]

AMen to that.. lets go to Mars :) forget the robots..humans to Mars

[canycme]

Keep it up Obama. Stay focused on the issues and leave the frivolous distractions to your opponent.

Remain positive and professional.

[corona4362]

"i we can go to the moon, we can do anything" this is just exactlly the attitude we need

[bred2k6]

What's wrong with Russian spacecraft?

[omarhea1]

great job obama.. please Aamerica don't let this election go to waste!!!!

obama 08

[sllywbt]

Promises the Moon and the Stars..Can he deliver...No he Can't

[aboxer4life]

I'm voting for Barack Obama and i'm going to encourage everybody i come into contact do the same

[zmbidawn6]

Cobra Commander for president

[musickidd]

this was live in my home town!!! he was awesome!!! Get ready for our next president!! Barack Obama 08'!!

[morewater14]

With Obama, there is no doubt he will be remembered as a great American president, he will stand proudly with Washington and Lincon as a defining leader. If he can believe in himself enough to consider himself for the role and risk his own name and the democratic parties name by promising so much, how could you not support him. OBAMA '08.

[morewater14]

I believe in Obama because first of all, he's brave enough to run, who would really take on this job at such a time, a falling economy, a failing war and the global issue of climate change. Sure, McCain could come to power and shuffle by as another generic republican, when it comes down to it, he won't get the blame, he would just be an extension of the Bush administration one.

[willisdyer]

Hey O. I've given to $400 to your campaign. Can you put that money to CALLING OUT JOHN MCCAIN.

I'm tired of you giving that guy a pass. We should be respectable true, but we can't expect the MSM to do their job and call him on his hateful.

Obama 08!

[jayraskin]

Nice. That is a man who is ready to lead the country.

[pazzman1974]

I don't mean to say anything of dissrespect twards Mr.Mcain when I say he's too old to lead this country.

10 yrs. ago I respected his word. He was a mavrick of his time.

Now, I don't know of any stance he truely follows.

I make 50k/y. Go through some tough times but pay my taxes and do my job. I just want a Pres. that does the same for me.

My mama told me her mama told her the strongest part of your country should be the willingness to make your weakest stronger. I love you middle America.

[OBxSMITHxOB]

can't really be focusing on NASA now we have to much shit going on in earth all tho I would love to live on moon. BTW we have new spaceships coming on the way.

[Mduduzi22]

Obama For President!

[admmak]

i'm subscribing to this channel... he gives me hope

[Ge0rgeWBush]

there

[crackfiji42]

Holy Crap, a presidential candidate that wants to support the Space program. What alternate dimension did I step in to? Thanks Barack, now I'm in love with you, before I was just content to support you. But now I'm in love

[DigitalAquarius]

THIS is what I want to hear!

[marcozune]

I WAS THERE!!!! Go Titusville.

[blueguise23]

FLORIDA is GOING FOR OBAMA!

OBAMA '08!

[BeachSaint]

"We can do anything when we put our mind to it." Yes, we can.

[everyonelovesobama]

obviously Obama is going to be elected as president of the United States.:) Hillary Clinton was a tough one to beat but he did :) and as for McCain well I think we all know he really doesn't stand a chance.

[nufuture]

Celebrity? Maybe.  The ability to lead? For sure. And its nice to see people around the world waving the American flag and not burning it!

[widaveg]

Excellent ideas- please comment on the Pickens energy plan as a part of your energy solutions. also cplease comment on biodiesel fuel , the need for biodiesel vehicles, and other clean American power sources!

Every time McPain goes negative I donate to you!

[cleo1994]

This weekend one of the National Norwegian Newspapers had a 9 pages article about poverty in the US. The article stated a poverty explosion under Bush watch. It's a disgrace! It seems that McCain doesn't want to discuss poverty. You should use it to attack the Republicans.

[ruaddd]

Finally!! I've been waiting for Obama to talk about how he'll deal with NASA once he's president. That was my only concern up till now; if Obama would cut funds for NASA like president's before him. But now, with this small speech I am sure Americans will actually explore Mars and finally return to the moon soon.

[gtg827x]

One of the best ways of addressing the issues of Dependence upon Foreign Oil, Global Warming, High Prices of Gas, and Smog in our Nation's Cities, and Outsourcing of American Jobs : Strong Support for Electric Vehicles.

With organizations like NASA, we have the engineering/research talent to make it happen!

[PeggyChicago]

I'm so happy to hear Mr. Obama speak of commitments to NASA and our vision for the future. I hadn't heard him speak specifically about this before and I was getting a little worried. We need another great vision for America - one that will inspire our young people the way my generation was inspired years ago.

[AwesomeDuhh08]

I was so there!! My first election and he has my vote! =]

[Darknight127]

It is disappointing that this campaign is going to give into the republicans on off shore drilling.....

[mrsnet]

Barack Obama, our next POTUS!! WOOOOOOHOOOOO!

He's so brilliant.

[Xone7]

I want America to be the YES WE CAN nation again, a true shining light. Weve lost that years ago and its time we reclaimed it!!!

OBAMA '08!

[1jammot]

Xone: If you want America to roll up its sleeves, like FDR demanded, and call for American technological superiority, like JFK, get everybody to vote for Barack Obama. Sure, he'll never be FDR or JFK, but just as Barack Obama he will do great things for your country.

[DeadlySlob]

He wins. No Doubt about it. Compare this guy to John McCain. You cant because Obama is one of a kind.

[Jrok2008]

Americas first black president

[TequilaFlavor]

Yay a space programm. As long as there are people who suffer from hunger or illness I dont want a goddamn space program. Of course it is a great symbol. Of course there are advantages if you have a working space program.

But is it worth it? Look up the costs of ONE shuttle. How many schools could you run with that money?

[GrownupPhan]

Honestly, the space program is way down my priority list vs. alternative energy. But I guess this is maybe a bigger issue in Florida. At least he didn't specifically push a manned mission to Mars.

[PrattBaybee08]

I MOST DEFINITELY SAW HIM TODAY!!! IM DEF. VOTiNG FOR HiM

OBAMA[08] ((( IN IT TO WIN IT! )))

:]

[Gayront79]

Give me one reason you are gonna vote for Obama?

[falling4j]

Why? I am asking why because I can't understand what it is that people like about him. I am not being a smartass, I am seriously asking why?

[cscbill]

We need you Obama! We need your leadership! Show us the way... our current administration is lost..help us find our way back to goodness

Obama 08!

[BlindSkater519]

barack is a very smart man! Obama 08!

[mrxking20]

great britain for obama..americans dont, let another bush,its clear mccian thinks bush economic plan is great,,no doubt he w`ll continues,,,whach out people,,

[wcurtis19]

without a teleprompter and applause he is awful, worse that George W

[Cali4Obama]

That's a great speech and I love the crowd! They seemed really fired up! We are going to accomplish so much with an Obama administration!

[SortingSpirit]

I am a frenchman who does not know much

about US politics, but I can tell you this

man will be the next President of the United

States of America.

[Horason]

I hope we can put a man on Mars by 2020.

[1jammot]

Horason: Can't it be done within the next few weeks? You don't mention bringing that man back, so send John McCain!

[theDHC]

most experts seem to think it will be by 2030, and by experts i mean wikipedia

[nilbud]

Mars is a waste of time, the moon is the place to go.

[NASCARfan22k]

America will put a man on another planet over my dead body.

[bboris92]

Horason, How can we go to Mars, if we never even went to the moon?

[trommelbiel]

I am appealing to Obama to refrain from responding to the Mccain ads. Mccain has taking the low road and is simply looking for Obama to misspeak. The Odds are in favor of an Obama presidency thanks partly to George Bush. Obama please avoid controversy. Allow your surrogates to take care of Mccain.

[marcozune]

NO, a campaign strategy involves swift response from every attack. Within 1 day. Google "low road express"

[cjzydeco]

I was thrilled and priveledged to hear Obama's endorsement of NASA's planned future missions to the Moon and to Mars in person today. The famous "If we can go to the moon, we can do anything!" attitude is exactly what America needs right now. What better way to spring-board a whole new generation of young scientists into careers as engineers, physicists, planetary geologists, and astrobiologists!

[falling4j]

That is exactly what this country needs right now. A President that is working on improving NASA, not one that is wasting time on the economy, energy crisis and oh yeah, the war.

[hadleystirrup]

I'm a Brit who adores Obama and finds him deeply inspiring,but I do wonder where all the money is going to come from for all this stuff. I do hope he isn't promising more than he can deliver given the current state of the world economy and America's massive debt.

[nekorainbow]

I just don't understand where were going to find all this money that were going to use for these changes. Of course I know where it will come from, but still :/

[chriskristenkylie]

awesome! also loved the little baby that was there in the stars outfit! Gorgeous!! :)

[chriskristenkylie]

We were there! It was awesome and inspiring! Love the question asked to him about when the last time he "had a home cooked meal" :)

[2a7e2l91x]

Obama08

[Filmchica]

Allow Obama to revise some of his positions... if its for the better than it is... but lets not jump all over for making new decisions. Trust me that's sometimes a good thing. It doesn't take years for him to change his mind.

[tedhu]

i concur. and he didn't change positions. opposing wholesale drilling everywhere including our most natural preserves is not the same as selective drilling based on economics and science plus the existing 68 million acres of land that oil companies aren't even tapping.

it's nuanced (know we've not had that for 8 years but one can always restart) and a well thought one.

[DuncanWells]

I agree 100%. There is no person in this world who utters a plan and then is forced into re-visiting that plan. Nothing is written in stone except death and taxes.

[camipco]

It may be a revision of his position on drilling, but it's consistent with his position on bipartisanship and healing. We're so used to politicians claiming to be moderates who are prepared to compromise, it's exciting to find one who actually means it.

Obama '08

[falling4j]

I am so happy that he changed his position. He needed too. Problem is that he didn't do it till McCain starting catching up to him in the polls. Obama is a pollwatcher just like every other politician out there, McCain included.

[Mychaels]

These are thoughts and plans. Its nice to hear for a change. Can he accomplish all these things? I do not know. But I know that Mr. Obama is going to pave the way for a new America!

[gottaluvgw]

you mean allow him to flip flop time and time agian-and its ok, what a beauty you are

[californiansteven]

Lalalala I was about to go to this, it was only a short bike ride from home....even though I dont like him it was still awesome to know he was there.

[brightnessQQ]

lol America sucks.

[saxomous]

Yes America has stumbled at times... but who do you look to when you need help? sure as hell ain't china

[anarchyandviolence]

i hear u there

MIT Lincoln Laboratory - which is the group which has built some of the

Star wars project, which no doubt involves some of your objects. They

don't talk about the military satellites,

[dyollmailliw]

Wish I could've gone to this earlier today.

Anyone know where I could see the entire speech?

[Saberwolf116]

Are you better off now than you were 8 years ago?

[Zoza15]

WOW!!!!, Colonizing mars would be revolutionairy...

[volunteerghana]

no changing in positions please. ! let hold our guns straight!

[Organjic]

Its the last right we have :(

[shaggyjam]

Good God make this man president already!

[element4433]

I was there it was a great speech

[canada1030]

I was there too!!! What a great feeling it was to be there!

[New8wid]

He has wonderful points in that scientific study has been limited in fund, except a new version of the shuttle is going to be launched in 2010. Russia doesn't even have a shuttle.

[cjzydeco]

The shuttle program is scheduled to sunset w/o any low-Earth-orbit passenger vehicle ready to replace it. Sure, NASA is working on the Ares rocket for the Constellation program, but that won't "replace" the shuttle, and it won't be ready for years. The Russians DO have a passenger vehicle -- Soyuz. In 2011, the nation that beat the Soviet Union in the space race will not only be grounded, but will have to pay for seats aboard Soyuz if it wants to visit the space station it bankrolled and built.

[nilbud]

You're wrong, why doesn't it even bother you to lie?

[IronyxEntertainment]

OBAMA 2016 President of the united states of earth.

[bigbrotheronsky]

Mister Zbigniew Brzezinski like consultant in foreign affairs...?!

[topspuikko]

Great!

[Jomomusik]

Hey...the Obama campaign...you are changing positions too quick...offshore drilling, Iraq surge....etc...you will be perceived as weak...you are too much on the defense...change the strategy please. We love you and support you and we don't want you to lose....may be try to get this guy.."the young turks" as part of your behind the scenes advisory team....you really could use his help.

[afg231]

Mccain was against offshore drilling before he was against it.

[falling4j]

Kind of like Obama was against offshore drilling before his poll numbers dropped?

[thoughtcontrol65]

lol poll #'s ..... Media lies wake up

[eternallybeatdown2]

sometimes they have to play the game.

i think the funding that goes into NASA should be to expand everything that has to do with technology and science jobs going overseas...also in expanding telecommunications not just for all the corporations and industries.

[theavatard]

Well quite a bit of space technologies are in our daily life actually.

[5xmama]

the offshore drilling will help the oil shareholders long before it helps you...can you wait patiently 10 years or so for the oil output to affect your pocket...the rich can wait for their shares!Its not about you at all......

[widgetbrain]

Hes still not in favor of drilling, but would consider using it to bargain for the domestic alternatives we need. Just handing over the drilling rights now would be a HUGE mistake. Beyond the fact that they are unnecessary when the industry has untouched leases RIGHT NOW.

[quixoto]

Actually, his stance now has not really changed, just been clarified. He's always said that surge will reduce violence but it mostly amounted to putting a band-aid on it, and ignored the ultimate mission to find and defeat Osama Bin-Laden.

About offshore drilling, all he's saying is that he's willing to compromise and will not completely oppose the idea as long as it's environmentally safe and part of a larger energy plan. This may be a nuanced position but it's definitely not a flip-flop.

[itnupe10]

Thanks Mr. Obama for not letting us forget the possibilities of what America operating correctly can do.

God bless you.

peace

C>

[sprtsman604]

As always great speech, and great ideas!

[ladyrosa817]

stay on message Senator Obama. That's what I'm going to do. I have made a pledge to myself after watching the "Moses" ad that McShame has put out. I will no longer give him or his campaign any more of my time or energy. I will make more phone calls and register more new voters and I will give more money and do all I can do to support you and your message. Stay on target, stay on point.

We have your back..........let us press for the high calling.....Obama 2008!

[marshallsmith19]

awesome speech!

[jarheadjoee]

Please vote!!! Vote for a man who is going to make a difference in the world.Vote Obama!

[boots920]

How is he going to make a difference when he doesn't even see how destructive (to the USA) all the free trade deals are.
