Barack Obama: Town Hall in St. Petersburg, FL

[kltiswhoib]

Obama is a great communicator, and has very realistic goals. I particularly like his education plan, to make college affordable for everyone as long as they're willing to give back to America. I still have this bad feeling that, he will be royally screwed in the end, because this country hasn't really changed it's ways and opinions as far as race, and the press, and the people who really pull all the strings behind the scenes. I will not believe in the possibility, until I see he has the victory

[SunnyKid975]

There have been hundreds of Obama meetings in western florida in the last few weeks. The momentum and organization is growing. YES WE CAN ! YES WE CAN !

OBAMA 08

[froobcakes]

obama and mcain suck they are about even almost any person could walk in of the street and do better than them two. if your taking sides with either side then you must be like them. they bicker and fight there petty name calling arguments instead of trying to find a way to solve our problems. if either of them would stop a moment and stop the name calling then mabye we can get somthing acomplished.

[dontrell4635]

stop hating on obama... racism is so play'd out.

[GOREFISHERFREEDOM]

[bms4lifem3]

Obama is 10 times better than McBUSH.

[shizueleven]

[RockawayRiotSquad]

Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!...no more neo-con scum in office!

[DonTonyS]

We are being censored.

[rumormater]

This is my fourth comment to BarackObamadotcom video. I hope it passes censorship. Otherweise, I will not see it.

[MrshmlloLuvLilli]

Barack Obama for president!

GO OBAMA!!!

[mchin7cm]

Now Every body has a problem in america. White, Black, Latino, asian, and native american. People have a hard time about job, home morgage crisis and health crisis.

People we need a leadership otherwise everything will be bad.

let me tell you the truth

Obama is the man of right and who bring people together on common issue.

[didyoulisiten]

Obama did a great job handling the interruption. He told them to be quiet and courteous and he would answer their questions during the Q & A after the prepared remarks, which he did. Had that been a McCain event, those guys would have been dragged out kicking and screaming, Tased, and thrown in jail. That is how you handle a tough situation, Obama obviously has the poise and grace under pressure to lead this country.

[snowbunnyqueen]

i think he should be presidant this year

[BeachR5]

He is a smooth brother...I love it

[Scientific1]

Keep focusing on the issues, Senator! Never mind the bollocks...

[lemotoftheweek]

That's our guy

[fojeba]

The best strategy for Republicans to win this election is to devide the Black vote.They are trying very hard to do that.Will they succeed?

[obamaok]

OBAMAOK Nª1 DE AMERICA

[driveaPRIUS15]

Obama '08!!!

[tnichols321]

hmm 14000 views and 71 comments...

[shellsandbells]

Obama needs to be focusing on the situation like he's doing already,don't let mcbush and distract you.

[babri62]

In human history, very few times and very few people rise up from no where to represent and make difference to the well being of common man.

In a world hungry for a CHANGE, Obama defies all odds, discrediting the corrupt career professional politicians & the profiteers of the military industrial complex, while proving to the ordinary man that there's a better alternatives to fear, war, death and destruction.

Any wonder the man is being received as a new Messiah, every where in the world.

[jlsmith3103]

Oh and if it universal healthcare doesn't work anywhere else, why would it work here. The way to a better economy is to lower taxes on businesses to keep them in our country. If you raise taxes on business they will just move to somewhere they can afford to operate. Look at Ireland. Right now Ireland has the fastest growing economy in the world, and its because they lowered the taxes on businesses drastically to bring more business in.

[follyfilms]

Everyone knows the plights happening in the u.s. right now. Let's hear specifics on how to remedy them. Both candidates are guilty of these broad campaign speeches.

[gctny]

my my what a good guy

[lyonb12]

We all want 2 know what Obama is going to do, but it is wrong 2 disrupt a meeting 2 ask a question, Obama hv addressed race issues many times. No one feels comfortable talking abt race, but Obama had given one of the best speech abt race in America. If he can address foreclosure,hurricane Katrina, taxes, gas,unemployment,security, then we r all covered, he don't hv 2 say what he would do 2 all races, but he has said many times what he will do 4 all Americans.

[mick2cu]

OK..negative comments are not allowed or thrown out..how democratic......

[akvalues]

LOVELY DAYS AHEAD!!

[havanna7club7cuba7]

Barrack is the most important presidential candidate of U.S History, and over at the UK we are praying the Americans do the right thing and vote for this man.

Someday, I want to be able to tell my grandchildren... YES WE DID.

GO BAMA!! 08

[supermike2164]

The woman that heckled John Mccain was thrown out and arrest by secrect service.

So I was kind of reassured by the way Barrack handled the hecklers. I didn't like that some of the secret service snatched their sign but he was able to address their disagreement and give them further options of action to get their agenda furthered.

Stuff like that shouldn't be hidden.

[FancyPantsElitist]

Love this guy! GOBAMA!!!!

[desiracing3]

OBAMA!!!

Obama for President his good

[Francodjf]

Obama 2008!! hell yeaaaa!! vote for better days.

[meropale]

I'm surprised there aren't more comments. If it's because the comments are being censored that is a bad sign. It seems like a throwback to the Bush II era when people who criticized Bush were kicked out of his rallies. I would have expected more from Obama's page.

[Mel1334]

It goes through a period to make sure it isn't just blatant hatred. There are a lot of fools on youtube. But, look, your comment is posted.

[rusticyuppie]

there's a difference between censorship & moderation. believe me, without moderation a civil conversation like this would not be possible on such a high-profile page like this.

[xXBreakitDown]

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!

[bigcthomas]

Those idiots could have been a plant by the mccain campaign.

[IG2HI]

I think it was obvious by those kids in the stands at the very top.

[codyr783]

Obama 08'!

[dragenzX]

Obama is a realist, unlike McCain. We can not afford to continue invading two different foreign country's, Afghanistan and Iraq. Let alone a 3rd Iran.Our country is not invincible and sooner or later the burden will be to much.Obama can end the war in Iraq and will focus on Afghanistan. Saving money for rebuilding our Health Care and Education Systems and many other programs that could save our country from private interest groups like the Oil and pharmaceutical companies.

[Rori001]

Well said.

[dragenzX]

Standing before a room of oil company executives in June, John McCain flip-flopped and declared support for coastal oil drilling. Now the Washington Post is reporting that, within days, oil and gas execs ponied up nearly $1 million to elect McCain.1 It's another piece of evidence that in a McCain White House, oil companies will call the shots—just as they have with President Bush.

[GeneralArrow]

He just sounds so much better than Mccain. GO OBAMA!

[biowest]

I like Obama and like what he stands for. If i was there i will vote for Obama but i guess i am not lucky. The American people are lucky to have such a leader who has the ability, intellect and judgment to lead.

Don't loose him , if u do , its gonna be another Bush term with minute microscopic change.

[qkslvrrx8]

thats my High school he was in! go GIBBS

727 GO RAYS

[MarkG45]

Please put up the entire speech, not just a small clip. It's much more interesting to watch a full address while eating lunch than seeing a small snippet of our next president.

[blazerblast]

from canada.obama will win by a landslide.Obama 08

[bELo1301]

i m from germany and i wan t to live in a better world so please don t do any silly things, in our country there will be no question who will be the next president and i hope you will make the right decision!!

[bELo1301]

[Dangerwinn]

[smartyPa]

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 08

[Taigacan]

[rickybojangles]

so much better than mcwhatshisname

[BLueCoLLarDEM]

The Republicans have stepped up the same old tired attacks on Obama that help elect the worst President in modern day history, George W. Bush. Basically the reason this country is in turmoil. America can't be so stupid 3 times in a row. If grumpy old man John McSame is the best you Republicans can come up with... Lol. You guys are so screwed in November. They know this so instead of sticking to the issues, which they have no vision or plan, they start with the fear mongering. Wise up people.

[mrxking20]

yeah wat a man,,this guy inspared the whole world,,americans dont,lose hope elect obama,i am not american but sedenly i would for him if am america,,in shorte dont let 4more year grip your ears,,

[trdan]

[durtyspursfan4eva]

Only good comments then? OK ok Obama ia a decent Senator.

[randyonwuakor]

yes we can america.

[Bochaberi]

Your talk is clear and to the point. We need you to lead change in the US and globally.

mamboyote

[IamJustinM]

Obama addresses the issues while McCain's campaign acts like school children. Interesting.

[jdaveuk]

This is man is so different from a few past American presidents. How can a person with common sense vote McCain? You judge

[josihanna]

okay, why didn't i know about this? this is TODAY and i live in st. pete, and i wanted to see one of his speeches so bad.

[kamikazekid12]

Barack can talk the talk. Can he walk the walk?

[cwalker120]

The reason i support barrack is because he has a thorough understanding of the 21st century world. He understands the effects of globalization and how to work WITH countries to root out terrorism, because the threts are extremism not contries. John McCain wants to fight terrorism like another cold war. He thinks withdrawl from a failed policy is defeat. America is not the leader of the world anymore. Individual people are, as empowered by the internet. Barak is the only one who faces this truth.

[benitogarciaweblog]

Four years of George W. Bush was too much yet. If Democratic Party wasn't according to stop Bush junior very bad, friends.

[Neonbob]

Alot of Floridians are with you.

[Truedantalion]

My truly felt and sincere compliments to you, Mr Obama. I was very impressed by your Berlin speech; sadly, I couldn't be there, living in Germany, but far away from Berlin, though.

I am convinced that you are to become the next President of the United States, and I look forward to the changes you'll induce, changes to the better. Everyone can contribute to that; everyone should. It's time!

I sent you a video response, in favor of a very special supporter of yours, and hope you will approve it.

[packrfan67]

[mickeleh]

Finally, Sen. Obama gets around to asking the question that Reagan used to beat Pres. Jimmy Carter: "Are you better off?" That's a sound bite that should earn him some good media coverage and commentary. Smart move.

[Filmchica]

He sounds so tired. Campaigning is hard. Everyday he's working at it. Go Obama

[truebri87]

go obama save us

[pokeinsider]

suscribe to dnc demacritic party rnc republican party has more susribers.susribe to demacratice party

[blueorangelettuce]

The American dream is effectively over. The next few years may be the last opportunity we have to turn this country around... or, it might already be too late. What is certain is that a McCain presidency would most assuredly precipitate events in a most awful way...

[jimmyheartcore]

So proud of this man.

[MATTPARS0NS]

OBAMA 4 PRESIDENT

[ben10023]

Obama is the coolest man.

[goose1212343]

GOBAMA!

[hummer0328]

Obama 08!

[glasstrain69]

More cut and paste propaganda from the campaigns.

I would much rather see a candidates reactions to questions during such an event, rather than just that candidate rambling on for 2 minutes and 26 seconds

But, I guess that's what it's all about.

ra ra ra ra sis boom ba

[negoblle2]

yay Obama!

[lipslide101]

[mastshke]

[wiskawind]

This is one smart human being! (smile) He has my vote and the vote from every member of my family; I have grandchildren that are voting for Obama also!

Go Obama 2008!

[triFeral]

I would vote for Obama, if I could vote.

I'm only in Middle School.
