If we disclose the hidden UFOs technologies we solved all our Energy, Environmental and Economic problems for the ENTIRE planet.

Wake-up people all our government are traitors.

We need to charge them for High Treason and Crimes against Humanity before it's too late.

[mommadramane]

Thank you Mr. President, God Bless You.

"Office of the President Elect". Well, guess what? I did not know there was such a thing. Any such office would be defined in the Constitution, and there is no mention of such a thing.

[shmacka]

not sure how "going green" will create 5 million new jobs - where does that number come from?

Bush was well known for speaking to the American people like this - statements full of fluff and no detail... i trust Obama will make the economy issue a priority, but what plans are in place that are not following the same patterns we've seen in the past? I don't know... it feels like he's still on the campaign trail... let's here SOLUTIONS, not broadbased hopes for the future... good luck america

[shmacka]

"dig ourselves out of this recession", dig up?

It'd be nice to hear a political leader outline a specific plan and solution to our problems, not just: "Congress must act now to help the economy", or "healthcare for all", new "green" jobs, help Wall Street so we can help Main Street, yada yada... how will a "down payment" CREATE jobs, it may postpone the loss of jobs, but no bailout will create new jobs

[badchannelz]

Is the plan to give college grants to people who do community service still on the table? That was my favorite idea of his, as it would bring both work experience and education to people who help out their communities. I just hope it won't be opposed by too many of those in Washington who benefit from the cycle of poverty.

[ilovemyamstaff]

You lead and I will follow, Mr. President-Elect.

[icenice44]

I really hope you & your family stay safe Mr.almostPresident

[nebaioth]

Can't wait til January 20, 2009.

Obama - 44th

[rjl2000]

This week will you please address your ties to Gov. Blagojevich Mr. Obama???? Something sure smells rotten and a lot of American people want to know.

[crusaderforever]

comments have to be approved?

Mao knows best!

[crusaderforever]

blah blah blah.

The false messiah knows best!

[ameneses52]

Obama endorsed this guy for Governor and Obama was the "Top Adviser" for Blagojevich campaign!!!One more thing in common with Obama is REZCo...another suporter and fundraiser of Obama and Blagojevich.

What I see is not coincidences but a trend of "CORRUPTION" that includes..well...Obama!

[Silvess]

Amen, president elect Obama! Now make it happen bro.

[scj82802]

Sounds like socialism to me.

[ghuuddaa]

worst video ever.

[USAPatriotX]

Say no to the FOCA Barry.

[paultb1983]

....

[donperry1]

Mr obama, i cant wait to see that chair you sit in changed

[xsleef]

Mr Obama could you Restore the Constitution.

And seriuosly look at the cause of our financial system failure..Maybe audit the Federal reserve.They may need to be shut down,and then we could restore a sound banking system that doesnt just print debt.

[xsleef]

Comments blocked..Yea freedom of speech,Restore the Constitution.

[xsleef]

Restore the Constitution,

[rubenvmmiami]

I would like any of you to step up and do what this human being is trying to do. It is easy to critizice when your sitting at your computer all day and not doing the least amount for your country.

[rubenvmmiami]

It is unbelievable that this Nation is in one of it's worst times, people everywhere are struggling economically. Fellow Americans are loosing their homes, jobs, etc.

This man has stepped up to the challenge of helping all of us from the mess that our past choices have left us in. What is even more he has developed a way to keep us the public informed and keep himself liable for his actions, and the only thing some of you can do is critizice, biker and make stupid jokes.

GROW UP AMERICA!

[az10101010]

A child born to an American mother and alien

father could be said to be a citizen of the United

States by some affirmative act of law but never

entitled to be a natural-born citizen because through

laws of nature the child inherits the condition of their

father. (loyal to two countries) 033

[esm1280]

wow!

[ClaudeParish]

The fix is in.

[ClaudeParish]

Hey, Barry. Look up the word "HUBRIS".

[ClaudeParish]

"Office of the President-Elect"? Is this a Saturday Night Live sketch? Since when does someone who is not a sitting prez address the masses on policy. I know how I'm going to pay my bills. I'm going to work and earn money. Try that Mr. Wizard.

[wisdomknowledgeandsk]

Fireside chats, mmm?

May the Divine bless you and watch over you. I am glad you won.

[paultb1983]

They only say a feat is impossible until someone shatters their beliefs pertaining to such. You are able. I believe in you.

[paultb1983]

Your not America's Deux ex Machina, but you are a great asset. There will always be Cassandras idling in the peripheral prognosticating-forget about them. Inspire your constituents and maligners alike. Don't take umbrage at the misguided criticisms of these people. But, for some reason, I don't think your one to give in to intimidation and malevolence of the misguided public-and that's exactly the type of person that should be at the head of this country. Do the impossible, you've done it before

[paultb1983]

Any president that has ever done any act worth being remembered for has faced incredible opposition in its execution-and you are no exception. Inspire your constituents and maligners alike. Cassandras will always be idling in the peripheral waiting to prognosticate-you just do your job Sir. But, for some reason, I don't think your one to give in to the intimidation and malevolence of misguided individuals, and that's exactly the type of person who should be governing any group of people.

[TygerCatCLC]

hes a great speaker

[Docthewrench]

The world is now a far better place, make no mistake I expect world peace. Peace between the chistians and Muslems, peace between the Gear heads and the green people. Peace between all races of men. Peace and the return of my land to my people and removal of those who do not belong here. OBAMA I hope you make this so

[benprice31]

That is uncanny, he's so much like Barack.  He's got every mannerism downpat.

[libertyeconomics]

No, we don't need a global, coordinated response.  We need a unilateral response. That unilateral response needs to center around returning to a free market, sound money, such as gold. This is a dollar crisis that we are facing.

[Fenris034]

Its people like ana232 that we need to take out to a field and shoot it in the back of the head. Its people like that bitch that keep america divided because of their ignorance and idiocy. what a waste of a life.... ana232 go kill yourself cuz this world has no need for you... seriously go kill yourself....

[claireifyer]

These videos are informative and inspiring. Keep 'em coming. I'd like to see a million people watching every day!

[C100WA]

I have broadband it also has PhotoshopI want to acces the internethow do I go about setting this up?

[stunningjane]

breakfast time!

[ArcanaIntellego]

I LOVE YOU, OBAMA. From an Italian Ecologist Blogger.

[Zerobody]

lol

VVVVVVVVVV

[huckabelieve]

In korea children are way more educated than in the US and they have ZERO technology! Our kids should be reading Shakespeare not surfing the web.

[AcidTrout]

who's the black guy?!?

[guyver280z]

Go-bama!!! You're the man!!!!

[Devourer09]

1:06 Hear that jet in the background? Lol.

[micfranxon]

Dear Mr.President Elect...what video settings do you use?

[UzumakiItachi675]

OBAMA FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YouAintWatchingMe]

We need to aim for a one world government and economy. We need to stop worring about wars and all that shit. We need to be in peace. Worry about prospierty and Love.

[jp3711nc1]

s he going to do this like he is king obama what an ego bet you can see it from space.

[plkman1]

This has nothing to do with anything but at 1:00 - 1:08 I hear a siren going off when you have your speakers up enough.

[AcidTrout]

Who's the black guy?!?

[thesithsadvocat3]

Its funny how he is going to fix the shit hole the last republican created.. and ppl still dont like him?? If it was McCain it would just be the same thing over again..

Oh and ana232, shut up you have no idea what you are talking about.

[ShipThemHome]

Obongo !

[dJw1ng]

I think that when you spread the wealth around its good for everybody.

[wlo2]

Mr.Savior. What have you been smoking? All of you that voted for him don't have a clue! Obama don't care about no one but himself and taking are rights away,and making a bigger Goverment!! I guess you'll find out when that "UNCLE TOM" has soilders with blue helmets marching are streets....God help us all

[602snakepit]

I can't believe peopel buy into this crap. Of course he wants a "rescue" plan, that means we wreck our dollar more, give goverment more control of private enterprise and give up more freedom. We DON"T RISE AND FALL AS ONE, if you are an idiot and I'm not, I rise, you fall, thats how freedom works. PS You aren't our king, you are our president, and by "our", I mean those folks who accidentally voted for you, You will never by my president.

[MrTGolden]

Support HR 3400 (look it up). The tyranny of oil is not so much a concern than is the tyranny of finance. Indeed, it is on this front, Mr. President-elect, your call for sacrifice causes the citizenry to cringe. That's why the reconstitution of the Bank of the United States (such as HR 3400 affects) is so critical. We do not want Public-Private Partnerships. Instead, we want government that recognizes its sovereign, constitutional power to form a more perfect union.

[hasbren90]

I hope everyone is careful when criticizing Pres. Elect Obama during this transition and his first few months in office. We need to give him a chance to do what he believes needs to be done to turn this country in right direction. I trust Obama's intentions. I believe he wants to do all he can to improve our country. We as Americans need to give him that chance. Regardless of who you voted for, Obama will be our next president. He deserves our respect. We are America. United we stand.

[BenRichards87]

in 1824, a mental man was shipped all around to different asylums. a year later, he was in the showers and skinned a man (elbert simon)and slipred his flesh dry. they had to put him to sleep. they asked if he had one last request and he said yes. he went to the bathroom and carved 666 on his forehead. they gave him the shock treatment.since yu read this, he is going to come to your house in 6 hours and 66 seconds to skin you dry. you can make him go away by posting this 3 times

[cheesecowapplejuice]

Guess the White House kitchen staff will have to learn how to properly prepare fried chicken, watermelon, and Kool-Aid.

[Nathaniel120]

Fighting to build bridges in Washington, picking his cabinet members from countless qualified individuals, preparing his administration's new policies and he STILL has time to make sure we know what's going on. Truly a great man.

[C100WA]

BUSH FAILED AT OPERATING AN OUTHOUSE

[perlaperez20]

u go barak obama im ur number one fan i luv u ur the best prinedent

[HillbillyDan99]

I thought January 20th was still over a month away.

[MADMAX3444]

The word of an honorable man is enough for me Wise or not Honor is earned not given and that's exactly what he's done he's earned it. This country has been lacking in the honor department for as long as i can remember it's about time we had a strong leader with morals and a sense of justice. The honorable take care of the meek those of you without honor remember that.

[deadlyshott]

listen obama, you are a great speaker and all but you kinda need to stop flaunting it around. its kinda overdoing it, i recognize that using youtube is a good way to 'keep in touch with the people' but lets maybe 'tone it down' a bit with the cockyness.

i voted for mccain but i respect you. i just want what is best for the country and so do you. all i am saying is that maybe you should at least try to sound a little less arogant. thanks

[burninbushmen]

check back a year from now and tell me how great he is......no hope or no change coming. he will be worse than Bush. Bush set the groundwork and Barack will use the new laws to subdue the public once we riot over the coming economic collapse.

he will bring in much more government, no REAL jobs, attack Pakistan and continue the US imperialism....but Russia and China are done playing the game.

[jesusworelipstick]

Obama the puppet...who's pulling the strings? "CHANGE CAN HAPPEN!" In the meantime, the Secretary of Defense is the same one as before and Hillary Clinton (where have I heard that name before?) will be Secretary of State.

lol

[kingrexrex666]

death to the neo cons in the usa and canada!!!!!

[slax32]

USA susks!

[Waranoa]

Those are very progressive statements mr. Obama. I hope your plans will get the support they need. I would advise to stimulate industrial innovation to remain competitive in an economical/ecological minded worl. Even American car-manufactures should seriously consider putting out sensible, modern, economically-sized cars to compete in the growing international market for those cars.

[diebitchnow]

"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it." Abrah...

this guy is a marxist,and the change he brought to the USA is communism,you no longer a free country,because you don't deserve it

[tdfoolery]

this man is not even a citizen of the United States of America by birth as the Constitution Of The United States dictates a man must be in order to procure the opportunity to be even a president elect. Follow the Constitution citizens of these United States.

[guyaneesebrotha]

i love you mr.president.i am happy to see giving us hope..

[Kalivara]

Congratulations for this execise of transparency and new-way of doing things in politics.

There are millions of people around the world completely tired of old ways of doing politics, with the same empty words and shallow actions.

Hope you make a difference. If I can give you a hand from Spain, just let me know :p.

[CrashtUnBurned]

This is awesome

[mobspeak]

..hmmm

[mobspeak]

As long as masonic presidents have a hidden agenda, we remain unsafe and the only change we will see is that of a new world order, where three quarters of the worlds population will be wiped out in a mass genocide in such a manner that is almost impossible for the unconscious followers of this so called freedom to even fathom .. Thank You .. Now take me to Guantanamo I'm such a terrorist for speaking my mind oooooh..

[kamkam127]

Mr.President :)

[Muleskinner1776]

Wow,he solved all our problems in under 5min. He's got an answer for everything,Bullshit. I don't care what color his ass is,we've been lied to by the goverment for to damn long! Before he gets any respect from me I wanna see him actuly keep his promises!

[jwthomp]

Where do I sign up for one of these green jobs?

[JonThm]

Plants take in CO2: So more emissions just means more life on Earth, not more CO2 in the air: Which has been cooling from 2005. GW was just fiction from nuclear power; are you their stooge?

[ana232]

!Wow! words of wisdom mr. savior! LOL yeah! right, you are not President yet, dude. So eager for power can't wait to get in the white house to do your "wisdom speeches".

[luvmsiahatethegov]

Are you suggesting he wait until he's in power before doing all this?

That's called procrastination.

The faster he works, the faster we work with him, the easier it is for America to go through these rough times.

Even if John McCain were in power, I would fully support him to give "wisdom speeches" before his inauguration, precisely because he'd need all the advice and support before his inauguration, so that the moment he hits the ground he can start work.

[AmericaIrish]

You're a foolish person, this is why we can't get anywhere in this country - attitude!

[Dan4157]

how do you possibly live with yourself?

[deltavee2]

You are 44 days away from a Presidential handover. You better hope he's got plans to replace Bush's bumbling screwups the second he gets in the White House door. If you can find news at your intellectual level, you might find out he is putting teams together to run your nation, as every incoming President should. Why the hell should he not talk about them and let the American (and international community) find out too!! you're living in a box you can't see or think outside of. God help you,

[angiendoug]

ana...goodness...we need to hear from who is going to be President...we need hope now...we need leadership now. I Bush providing it, no. Bush is deciding where he is going to live next.

[TaffyAlpha]

EuthanizeReligion, I agree. I want him to make a good president, but how can he if he doesn't accept criticism or new ideas?

[claireifyer]

Are you kidding? I think you are confusing Prez-elect Obama with the incumbent president who has never accepted criticism or new ideas, never apologizes and admitted long ago that he doesn't even read the newspapers. Better do some more research. President Obama will be firm, but just look at the team he's assembled so far. He is surrounding himself with smart people with opposing views and he is wide open to new ideas. What do you think this site is all about?

[esgranny]

He listens and studies - if you disagree with him go to his website and tell him what you disagree with and why. THat is what it is there for. He wants to hear all sides.

[talk2yinka2]

good preparation, so far so good , keep on doing good job

[danihope713]

You lead and I will follow, Mr. President-Elect.

[6ubwa]

YOUR GONNA FOLLOW HIM TO HELL MORON.

[fergus247]

say just and i say how high

[jpace4revolution]

What a sheep! How far into socialism will you follow him?

[dreadelite]

Spoken like a true sheep.

[cyalaterthan]

dissention is the greatist form of partitism so stop blindly following like the nazi's followed hitler retard

[oxyhemoglobin]

I appreciate that you've opened these videos for comments, and I hope that you read them. I am going to speak directly to you, President Obama. Please, for the love of liberty and our republic, abolish the Federal Reserve. You know why. I won't trust you until you've re-established the gold standard. Our dollar is worthless. Your job is to fix it.

[mxrss]

Going back to the gold standard wont save the economy that would require the world to go bacck to the bullion system (unlikely) The dollar is not worthless when you have major then thats a problem, you will always have corrections wiht reguards to currency we are not at zambabi levels (2 million for a loaf of bread) What really needs to happen is that people with bad credit should be extended credit. And laws should be put into place so that people pay every cent they owe including corporations.

[cotes42]

OUR job is to fix it together. together.

[mallenor]

lol @ the gold standard

[feifeishuangyu]

against all kinds of bloody killing

wake up people

[tostrye]

i agree with lopd, i think disco music and a mirrored ball would be nifty.

[frthought]

Weren't independence and freedom two of the fundamental motivating factors for establishing this nation? Those principles carry with them the possibility of failure and require personal responsibility and perseverance to succeed. How does government bailing out private industry and providing jobs support those principles? We do NOT economically rise and fall together...each makes choices and each reaps the rewards or pays the consequences of those choices...or at least they should.

[mxrss]

So agree,

If you want capitalism then you have to follow all the rules, those that fail--fail. Besides we should be pumping this money into burgeoning small bussinesses because they will become te next big guys. It seems to me that the american public does not want to accecpt responsiblity, yet they still want the benefits. You cant have your cake and eat it to. The people who will not fare well will be the ones who do no know what is to go without.

[sojournee]

Dear Obama team - I hope you are imagining that out here in rural Missouri, your campaign volunteer leaders are continuing to meet, to look for how we can continue to work together for change. I am sure it's true elsewhere. We're behind you and ready to help however we can.

[WizardessAlyssa]

Of course comments are moderated. Look at any unmoderated video of Barack Obama and you will see racial slur after racial slur, immature comments galore, and uninformed, uneducated people saying things that contribute nothing positive. If you have something negative to say about how you think the President-Elect will handle the issues he addresses, feel free to comment. There can be opposing views so long as the opposing views aren't ignorant, racist nonsense.

[ghuuddaa]

i'm sorry you feel that way, but the fact remains, this guy sucks. you're just another ignorant left-wing suck up who got sucked into the media.

[tigerarmy1200]

Just like the Bush administration used fear of terrorism to reduce our civil rights and liberties, this next administration is going to capitalize of our fear of a failing economy in order to continue insolvent economic policies. Be aware that when Obama talks about "boosting" the economy, he is talking about sinking trillions of YOUR tax dollars into failing credit institutions and auto corporations. If America learns one thing from the Bush debacle, its not to fall victim to propaganda. THINK.

[lodp]

I don't know... these videos could use a bit more oomph. Maybe throw a pie? Or how about some Mentos + Diet Coke action?

[SamSeoShow]

I support you 110%

[mwe1967]

Take off the moderated comments

[DCPowerStilts]

EuthanizeReligion, I disagree with your supposition. I come here to see what the next president has to say so I can decide how it will personally affect me or my business.

The interactive features on Youtube get abused too much when the subject is political. Turning those features off isn't censorship. There's plenty of other places online for people to chatter.

To the Obama team: keep up the great work! Government needs your innovative approaches to bring hope and change to America.

[oldindian]

Mr President....thank you for your service to this country...My hope and prayer is that you continue to involve each and everyone of us in the process of bringing this country back to a honorable state in the world and here at home. You got my vote with your words of " Yes we can".....may we one day sat " Yes We Did"

[phoamer]

Yes We Will.

[Cerosik]

I don't believe that it's being done to censor the opposition, but more as a precaution against those that are too immature to post a worthwhile comment. The anonymity of the internet brings out some uglier traits in people and trolls will come by with a less than respectful approach to criticism.

[tostrye]

I think that the prez-elect wants his message to be the main focus of the page. I advise you look at what FDR did. The nation was in troubling times, he did the fireside chats to let the nation know what was up. This is the fireside YouTube chat, Obama is trying to let people know what is going on.

[thoreaubred]

Obviously comments are diabled on the Climate Change video because they don't want a bunch of outraged comments about business as usual in the guise of change. 1990 levels by 2020, and an additional 80% by 2050? Not good enough. Making sure nuclear energy is safe? Not possible. Climate change only matters because it affects the economy and national security? Same old rhetoric as always. Obviously Obama has the same concern for this impending crisis as any other administration (none).

[Wolviejones89]

Well, evidently we can comment now.

Good catch though EuthanizeReligion, I think you're right to challenge this. I also support Obama, but censorship is wrong and I know it.

[prettynicki25]

i think this weekly address is a wonderful idea. i hope this continues through his presidency.

[EuthanizeReligion]

Mr President Elect Obama if you can read this i was wondering why do you censor some of your videos by Disabling Comments and Ratings?

Now i voted for and supported you and still support you but it is cowardly to make statements and censor the opposition.

[MichaelAW17]

Why does he have to let you rate his video?

I would be much more worried about other things than President-elect Obama not letting you rate his video.

[rusticyuppie]

The unfortunate reality is that youtube is not the ideal forum for the kind of discourse that you speak of.

President-elect Obama's videos are famous and extremely popular here on youtube, but if there is no moderation of the comments submitted, then rest-assured you'll be seeing profanity laced spam messages and all manner of epithets showing up on the comments section where young children could easily see.

[donaldsoffer]

i couldn't agree more

[mumra2k]

There are plenty of other youtube vids websites and forums online for comments and discussion. This isn't quite the place.

More importantly, someone in his position wouldnt want to give the impression of ignoring any constructive criticisms or suggestions that may be placed here. Or to be seen as looking favourably on some comments & not others in his office's responses (if any).

Hope this helps.

[ihatebuzzwords]

Judging by what I've seen in the comments sections for other videos dealing with political issues, things can get quite ugly very quickly, thanks to the uninformed trolls who love to descend on political videos and spout total nonsense or engage in wild mud-slinging.

I think these videos are probably better off without all that.

[ChristCenteredCinema]

I agree!

[faething]

EuthanizeReligion, well put! I supported and voted for him too, and I would like to be able to read people's reactions to what he has to say.

[Reaver3123]

It seems he has now opened it to comments. Well done Barack.

[musability]

Are text comments disabled?

[sammy15213]

i hope he continues to do this every week. i dont know why, but i kinda like listening to him speak.
