Barack Obama: Real Leadership on Technology

[MalcomAP]

I'm sorry I can't vote 4 Obama period I don't give a damn what someone tell me I'm black and all but I don't support him he doesn't move me he doesn't speak on issues 2 me all he do is smile 4 the camera and you telling me I need 2 go for him cause he's black cause he's the same color as me KISS MY ASS

[drorharush]

Not your issues? So you don't care about the economy? Health care? Maybe you don't even care about Net Neutrality, the vary thing that allows you to write this comment down...

But I think you should care about him being "...black and all...", because as far as I can see, in your mind, that says more about him then any policy.

[rodolfoquiroz]

"But what struck me wasn't d light on that globe. It was d darkness, most of Africa, chunks of Asia, even parts of d US's. d disconnected corners of ur interconnected world. Where d promised of a 21st century is being eclipse by parel. U N I must not settle 4 anything less than an America that replaces darknes with a new light" This is why I admire him, bec he is so humane.

[nomandolin]

Is this man really an American?

[AnunC8]

I really hope he wins; I'm so tired of Bush. I don't care for Hillary at all either... she jumps on every political bandwagon she sees, and I don't think it's honest.

[Germanarchie]

Old Europe hopes that Obama will take Government in 2008...

[scifiaust]

he should win, he's got better ideas, smart ideas that would be needed in the reform of america's current problems.

[ahaaja]

amazing man. the truly honest and intelligent president that america has NEVER had before.

[darksean99]

We have had them before. We have had some of the greatest men that have ever walked the face of the earth as president of this great country.

Just not lately. But Obama gives me hope, that one day....perhaps even one day soon, we can return to the tradition of greatness that the president should embody.

[zimshan]

But mark my words, look up the Senate archives yourself. That's the truth. The whole truth.

Please America, don't be fooled by the spin everyone tries to throw at you. The internet gives you freedom now. Look it up yourself and make your own judgments. This election is too important to let these spin doctors threatened our democracy now.

Honestly, I don't care who you vote for. Just PAY ATTENTION to this race!

[zimshan]

Paul84674,

Did you KNOW that on the original Resolution vote day OBAMA WAS THERE? When Harry Reid told the whole Senate that it would be tabled for an undetermined length of time and could not see it's vote taking place in the near future? The next morning Reid gave Obama an hour notice on the vote when Obama was already in NH. Did you also know that Harry Reid's son is a huge Clinton supporter?

Obama is just too classy of a guy to say it.

[Paul84674]

Did you know that Obama did not even bother to show up and vote against the resoltion that lays the groundwork for a war against Iran. If you want a nuclear winter then Obama is your man.

[nytquil1]

Take that Fear politics to George Bush! OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

[JHarley1045]

There you go again! Don't you know that Americans are tired of the "fear" tactics used, by people like you, to get them to do something.

[sylvanb]

No. According to U.S. law, a civilian like Obama is supposed to stand up when the anthem is played, take off his hat, face the flag, and put his right hand over his heart

[JHarley1045]

How many American have you seen do that the last time you went to a football, basketball, or baseball game. That last time I went to a football game and very few people put their hands to their heart. Most of the men wearing hats, kept them on, and few faced the flag.

Get real!!!

[rezerella]

It would be great if his plan includes Universal Services reform to allow broadband providers the same access to these funds as the phone companies get.

[sylvanb]

Note to Obama, you can't be the president when you hate your own country !!!!!

[misterfisherman]

maybe he had cramp in his arms.theys why he couldnt do the national anthem properly hmmmm thats it

[YadaYadaguy]

it has nothing to do with that picture and everything to do with his "church" and memeber ship in CFR...its hallarious how most of america thinks Clinton and Bush where deffrent..that Rudy,Hillary,Barrak,edwards,th­ompson are Deffrent..

[YadaYadaguy]

they are all part of the CFR/AIPAC lobbyist group they will continue to war keep our nation giveing its wealth to other countrys...thus you will work for less as the american people are treated as the germans where..as Britians was done..so over taxed and undercut only a select few will be masters and the rest will labor in poverty.and only those that read history will ever know life use to be better then this.

[misterfisherman]

it has relations to it.hmmm yes hehehe

[digx]

Seeing flaw in a person's own country and wanting to fix the flaws is the reason that the United States exists, otherwise, the ability to pass constitutional amendments would not exist.

[YTVoIP]

I hear Hilary is siding with Microsoft. Keep your head up Obama, we are here for you :)

[stratvic]

Did he say that he is going to nationalize the internet and give away access for free?

Does he not believe in property rights? Without property rights we are all screwed. Where does his disregard of private property end?

[tsycear]

That means that the price will go up for most people. Right now internet providers have an interest in making their service affordable for as many people as possible. If the governmnet starts paying internet bills there will be less incentive to lower prices.

[JiveDadson]

He also espouses internet price controls, aka, "Net Neutrality." That would be a disaster. If Robert Kahn, the father of the internet is against it, I am against it. Google for "Robert Kahn net neutrality".

[eldiablo10028]

Also, I like his plan to open up govt documents and allow citizens to discuss policy with their govt via the internet. THis truly revolutionizes citizen involvement and promotes an even more just and efficient form of democracy.

[tsycear]

Most people can email their representatives directly right now, so it's not really an innovation.

[MoniqueTHEIntern]

yeah,but how many representatives respond by to their email? Or how many times do they answer the question in the email? Or bring the email to the floor of the Congress?

[eldiablo10028]

Excellent job President Obama! He really understands technological innovation. He understands that no one person/company can claim a monopoly on technology/ideas. We need net neutrality and the protection from special interest byout as they would both encourage competition, innovation, and creativity. He's technological innitiatives will make americans become more tech savvy, thus improving our country's efficiency, security, and productivity.

[paigia]

Obviously this guy owns. Freakingly owns.

1. B.A. Degree (Political science with a specialization in international relations), Columbia University

2. Community Organizer, Chicago

3. President of the Harvard Law Review

4. J.D. degree magna cum laude, Harvard Law School

5. Lecturer (Constitutional Law), University of Chicago Law School

His training is in Law but he knows his computer science!! He could answer the bubble sort is a bad sort!!

[snarkwaupaca]

His point at 6:30 is key. The current system of comment on government actions after decision making is done is a real problem and needs to be more open.

[btehrani2]

Speacking of technology, We need help from all Technology experts!

Obama is certainly the best, but we are doing very poor supporting him on the internet. Ron Paul, has dominated the majority of internet blogs, internet polls, news, etc.

WE CAN MAKE OBAMA THE #1 ON THE INTERNET. OR AT LEAST THE SAME LEVEL AS RON PAUL. OBAMA #1 Democrat , RON PAUL #1 REPUBLICAN.

[rustEshakelford]

I swear this guy has no ideas of his own.

[snarkwaupaca]

If you want to be whiny about it Einstein had no ideas of his own he built on the thoughts of others.

[paigia]

I second that. Lots of nobel prize winners built new knowledge on the previous research others did. Obama is real and honest - he say he did not have the monopoly of good ideas, but he has the judgement to know the iraq war was a bad idea. What is special about him is his ability to bring people TOGETHER to GET THINGS DONE.

[macflyfilm]

Wow, an inspiring man!

[btehrani2]

Question: Do you think Americans deserve Obama?

Sometimes I listen to AM conservative radio talks and get really angry and upset at how stupid some people can be. I see a large group of people who still say they would vote for Bush if his name was on the ballot.

Do we deserve Obama?

[paigia]

Of course we deserve Obama. But that is contingent on you making the first step to believe. Believe not just in him to bring about change but in yourself that you can make a little effort in inspiring many others who are misinformed and disillusioned.

[aginamuk]

Obama is the man! More careful with your tie. OK?

[paigia]

Yes! Lets not just support him with our words but also support him with our efforts. Donate to his campaign or spread this video and his message around to all our friends!

[bklynsam]

As always, he leads.

I'm telling you all, this is a once in a generation candidate! He is truly remarkable.

[thuneau]

Why is everyone so excited? We hear this type of talk every four years only to vote for "change" during the next election cycle.

What makes you believe Obama, Hillary or any other candidate in the race is going to deliver on promises you heard them make during the campaign? I said "you heard" because polititians are always good with words.

[thuneau]

cont: Don't they always promise to improve education (like Obama just did) and every year it gets worse? If you're going to get excited about someone make sure you can verify they really mean what they say and have a record of doing what they promised.

[CallMeNiel]

because, for better or worse (probably not better) it's all we have to go on at this point in the election.

[btehrani2]

It is not the promise, it is the reasoning and explanation that shows commitment and understanding.

Just look back at Bush campaign. He promissed the same things, but when someone who knows the topic and issues around it listened, they immediately say "this guy is such an idiot", "He doesn't even understand what he is talking about"

Hillary also promises a lot, but does she understand the issues. Not as good as Obama.

[snarkwaupaca]

if he was another politician that had payed his dues at some high priced law firm I might agree but as a community organizer that is harder to say. I trust him and I don't trust many politician on either side of the isle.

[PrincessStarlett]

Wow...I am truly amazed.

[hotanddark69]

Un-FUCKING-real, this is absolutely, positively brilliant. Obama is light years ahead of the competition.

[Xone7]

Barack Obama gets it!!

[rowflowers]

Incredible!!! Where does he get this stuff? "It is remarkable for its darkness, not only its light." This sent chills through me. OBAMA 08

[i3allplaya]

he is truly inspirational

[dimorphios]

100mbit fiber to the home ftw. oh yeah obama ftw too. lol.

[lili4trees]

Wow. This is great. Obama for 08!!

woot!

Don't forget to be awesome!

[owen0334]

This is just another reason why I support him!

[poseidon129266]

All I have to say is: holy fucking shit!

[DesertRatDan]

This really is a brilliant plan on innovation and technology. Broadband access for all and internet neutrality are extremely important to our very democracy. Bravo, Barack!

[tbone2001]

Bravo!

[eircom618]

finally faster internet! if we can match the speeds in japan that would be AMAZING.

[1acrimosa]

This is excruciatingly important. Thanks Barak!

[moneymac101]

Wow.Obama is on a roll!

[orangehasrhymes]
