Barack Obama in 2006

[whothehellgivesadamn]

WOW LOOK AT ALL THE SUCKERS POSTING BELOW....HOW'S THAT OBAMANOMICS WORKING OUT FOR YOU DUMBASSES.........HHHAHAHAHAHA­..

[jedwhelchel]

Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about.

[damerovigian]

I VOTED FOR BARACK AND HE WON!!!!

[beteck123]

Sen Obama,you and i know thats common sense,but the problem is to your country men/women,common sense is not that common.

[PlanetMother]

Obama= our new president 08

Barack, we're with you all the way!

[Tinils]

This man speaks the truth.

[Obamathebest08]

OBAMA-BIDEN '08 !!!!!!!

[herrfilm]

Obama is good news.He is intelligent and balanced.

[leeleeleeleelee2525]

AMEN. fucking hell, hope he takes those sentiments to the whitehouse. fancy that, a country more interested in its peoples health and education than sticking their dicks in the sands of other peoples land. why are people fighting these kinds of ideas? its for the good of everyone!

[bigpete5964]

@leeleeleeleelee2525 its not good for me i am a white male in america

[slimreb0rn]

REUNITE THE PARTY - VOTE OBAMA

:) barack can do it guys, we need it.

[Wulfgar12]

"gotta happen" 2:50

[Avionicgenius]

How is he still alive after speaking out?

[selemawit14]

what are you tryna say?

86% of this country is white. & obviously voted for him b/c he is our democratic nominee.

okay ppl are ready to move forward to something better & are not willing to let race get in the way of that. besides he's just as much white as he is black. with a mother from kansas & a father from kenya.

[EKSartist]

Consider this: McSame voted with Bush 100% of the time in 2008 and 95% in 2007, that is, when he even bothered to show up and vote. He would appoint extremist judges, and "Mr. Patriotic" has a record of voting AGAINST the troops and veterans (that is, when he decides to show up and vote).

[selemawit14]

i think he really can relate to us. he understands & realizes the problems of Washington & is fighting to change that. the belif that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us.

Obama 08'

[vallejoelgrande]

I hope he uses the tone and message of this speech this summer and fall. Go Obama!

[nebaioth]

Ask John McCain why he HATES WOMEN and why he called his wife Cindy McCain a CUNT in a public venue!

McCain has apologized for calling his wife Cindy "a cunt", but I don't think that is good enough. It speaks to McCain's character!

Calling Women names like that, shows that you are abusive to women. Is Cindy McCain emotionally abused, and why on earth would she allow John McCain her husband to call her such a horrible thing IN PUBLIC?!

What's with this Old Man's Temper? Is he insane?

[shellius]

The politics of hope - blah blah blah blah. Rhetorical junk food.

[Wulfgar12]

he is much more radical than that.. he will take away those rethorical speaches done by the people who are in power .. who are

INDEED right in that it is rethoric.........

AS LONG AS *THEY* are in the government...

thats how he will change it..

[EKSartist]

GOD BLESS THE RICH!

From Hillary's interview with Bill O'Reilly:

O'Reilly told Clinton, "I'm not a middle-class family, I'm a rich guy." Hillary, (who is humble, down-to-earth, and "in touch" with Middle Americans, gun-owners, and people of faith) responded, "You know what? Rich people: God bless us."

God bless us rich people!

[Wulfgar12]

omg? lol..

yea now hillary will definitaly win..

[Wulfgar12]

my reply was answer to another post.

the "bless the rich people" quote from hillary.

[selemawit14]

idk why she said that. but it definetly showed a lot about her character.

Obama 08' All The Way Baby!

[EKSartist]

Obama comments on Hillary "the fighter" Clinton:

"One of the things that I learned in the school yard was: the folks that are talking tough all the time, they're not always that tough. If you're really tough, you're not always looking to try to start a fight. If you're really tough, sometimes you just walk away. If you're really tough, you just save it for when you really need it," Obama said.

[FBI2330]

I'm ready for a President that is as intelligent as Obama to run the free world and can give fantastic speeches, speak properly, and represent the United States as it should be to the rest of the world. I don't want another President like Bush who has his own segment on the late night show with David Letterman because he makes so many frequent rediculous mistakes while he is talking. People can say, "you can't trust what he's saying," and what not, you can say that for every politician.

[shaakmaster]

NOT THIS TIME

[vincentvendetta1]

Same thing happened when US didn't vote for Gore, same thing might happen again. History always repeats itself.

[rluongo19]

I feel like if Obama doesnt win, the U.S. will be making a vital mistake in their american history.

[ravinglunatick]

All I hear is "I want to raise your taxes, lower the quality of your health care, and further dilute secondary education!"

- Oh that and the whole "I'd like to spit on everything our military has accomplished by undoing everything they've done" bit at the end is priceless.

[poetry4lyf]

oh you must be listening to someone other than barack.

Desert Storm, Operation Restore Hope and once a Marine always a Marine 4 Barack Obama!

[ravinglunatick]

1) Look at Canada's "health care" after it was socialized. They come to the US for serious treatments as theirs is a joke and so swamped it's not funny and it'll be even worse with their recent surge of Mexican illegals.

Also - it's ironic and sad you'd vote for someone who stated in the Pennsylvanian primaries that he does not care what military leadership says he knows better because he's a politician and will throw away all we've worked for (whoops I mean withdraw...) regardless.

[libertadparamipatria]

Obama with his "change" campaign and the way he tries to differentiate from the "others" offering the "new way" is evading all the questions the Media and the concerned voters ask.. He tries to denigrate by downplaying comments, reporters, and critics he doesn't like, we now hear about the "gotcha" or "is stupid to ask that kind of question" or "let's move on" .. but we have never had the pleasure of hearing a real answer from senator Obama.

[beteck123]

So what sre you priorities.

knowing who Obama's neighbour is,what he did when Obama was 8 years old.Knowing who gets hired by Chicago University as Obamas colleague.

Or do you wanna know how u gonna pay ur next month bills,how u gonna raise money to educate ur kids,what quality of education ur kids gonna get,whether ur gonna have any pension when u r retired? Pick out ur priorities.ABC was focusing on the first half as Americas priority.

[Cueil]

Please... what we don't need is another fucking president that wont work with the other side... all talk, but in the end he's just one part of the triad of power that checks and ballances the nation's ruling bodies. He can't do shit without the Republicans and as long as your an ass about reaching out to them you'll have problems like Bush has... what we need is a moderate who can see both sides of the debate and do what is right even if it's not what is part of his agenda

[808crs808]

im going to vote for obama since he knows how the typical white person thinks .. because im just like his granny .. cause im white i feel the same as she does

[Clueless713]

What? You vote for a president because of their values, goals, and ideas, not just for one little thing...

[mtwillis5253]

you're basing this on a few clips fox spliced together over many years and months, its NOT based on what you know of him as a man. you and all your gullible oboma hating kind need to learn who he really is

[morganbilal]

Lebanon Supports OBAMA

BILAL MERJAN supports OBAMA

[SomewhatSilentSage]

It's amazing how he doesn't really address a single issue with a solution in that entire 5 minutes. Very vague. He almost always qualifies his statement to note that he won't take money from federal lobbyists, a distinction that allows him to accept money from well-connected state lobbyists. A good liar cloaks his half truths and hidden agendas well. Educate yourselves. Don't vote for the New World Order. Vote for FREEDOM!

VOTE RON PAUL 2008

Issues are important & they should be addressed.

[Priscarlo]

i LIKE RON PAUL TOO BUT... Ron Paul isn't alot different from most other politicians who before going into office say what they are going to do. They usually address the issues, say what they will do etc. and never do it. He is trying to show us that he is human. I mean it is very difficult to undo the damage Bush has done but also very very difficult to perform as badly as he has. He is not complete but can find a mate who completes him. You seem smart enough to see the logic I am showing you.

[capitalistinside]

If Ron Paul says that he will do something, be assured that he will do it. Look at his record, it speaks volumes of what he will and will not do. He HAS done more for the people of America than you fail to research.

[Priscarlo]

still u must admit...many have come before with good records...being in the white house is different. There will be many more ron pauls. But a candidate like barack is once in a lifetime. Are u big enough to admit that? If u dont agree i will drop it.

peace

[peregrine75]

Well, this was an exerpt from a longer talk, not the speech as a whole. He's obviously summarizing a general philosophy, not talking about specific policies. But he DOES talk often about specific policies if you'd bother to dig a little deeper.

Barack Obama:

THE NEXT GREAT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

[rxprider]

Baronmorris, I too am a 30-something white male in the state of Florida who thinks this man is one of those American greats.... our generation's Abraham Lincoln or such. Please just listen to this guy speak just once even if you don't support him. Give the guy 30 minutes and I know at the very least, you'll gain something from the experience.

[BPB9973952]

nonsense - has no solid stance on any issue

[owlies]

this speech is HOT

[SomewhatSilentSage]

in this speech he almost said something. I find it to be full of pathos, which is basically, in case you find a dictionary difficult to use, the appeal to your emotions. So instead of actually saying something with substance he just panders to your emotions and gets you sucked into the idea that he "cares" so much, and that he is so much "different" and he provides a sense of hope for the ill informed to rally around. We need a president who will address issues and not just try to be your friend

[Earthmoover]

I would rather have a canidate who appeals to the emotion of hope, education, and tolerence then the republican idea that the preisdent is someone who will drink a beer with you... or will capitalize on hate and fear like that republican platforms for the past 40 years. Every republician president has declared a war, on drugs, hippies, terror... what is Obama doing? he is appealing to our better natures. I would hope that someone would be able to give us hope. Its better then the alternatives.

[kthhrrsn]

I think the real racist piece of shit has just raised his or her hand.

[Cueil]

Without Reagan this country's military would be a bag of shit... stop looking at things in your one demensional view and relise that a good president isn't remembered by his party, but by the actions that he took... Lincon, Ezenhower,Reagan... they all did things that helped this country... yeah they had their screw ups but in the end people remember them as good presidents

[vivezion]

obama 4 life

[vivezion]

obama 4 life

[lpeabody]

If Hillary gets elected, she'll just be fighting with Republicans to get things done, and she won't because Republicans hate her. Republicans don't hate Barack, and thus are more willing to cooperate with him.

When you have two parties who basically have a split down the middle in terms of power in Congress, you need them to cooperate and not fight, otherwise nothing will get done, its just that simple.

Barack has already shown that he can work with Republicans.

[zahmac01]

totally agree

[tnguyen603]

u r being negative about Obama... But I do agree what u say to some extent... Obama is a very nice and cool guy... But I do agree Hillary is the best to clean up these stupid shit Bush give us in 09

[sugarcane4000]

okay linjin ..ur directing this to me ..Clinton has so much big money and corporate business backing her up that she would not release her taxes.she knows it would show that she is supported by crooks and proffit making scum businesses..she knows why shes hiding her tax returns.she is as secretive as the republicans ways ..the truth will come out ..soon

[sugarcane4000]

Why will ppl vote for someone like clinton and mccain still.Americans are confused why wont they all just give their vote to Mr Obama..and cut this old folks out of politics.Its true they have all being in capital hill for too long ..Mccain is an old leather face and clinton is shit capitalist

[linjin]

Everything Obama says here is the exact same as Hillary's campaign. The only thing that differs is the specifics of how they implement the plan. The idea that someone becomes less effective at there job after doing it longer is ridiculous.

[zahmac01]

If you work with an old person, you'd find they do redundant things. For example, in engineering, an experienced - old - person might draw a sketch on paper while some robust young engineer can whip out the 3D drawing on a computer in a tenth of the time and much more effectively.

By this, It would be a mistake to assume the old are more effective than the young.

So don't forget this, it may effect you down the road when someone young tries to take your job - job security does the trick.

[zahmac01]

Sorry, the previous post was a response to linjin.

[tnguyen603]

zahmac, u r stupid for using that analogy.. If you have a heart complication... and needs a heart replacement... do you want a newbie surgeon to operate on your heart? do you want him to twitch, turn, and try new ways to surgically take your heart out in a faster way (at risk of your life)?? This applies to our Nation... It is critical and life-threatening to some people!! I don't want to rely on chances and vote for Obama in hoping that HE can SOLVE all these problems with great results..

[zahmac01]

Watch and listen to this youtube video: "McCain laughs, Sings Bomb Iran"

That is McCain cutting off the circulation of the United States.

[SomewhatSilentSage]

I don't care if you are lost in the idea of two political parties fighting with each other over issues that are trivial at best compared to the overall picture of life on Earth. You need to get over party affiliation and follow your heart and mind. Educate Yourself!! Don't let the media tell you how things should be.

Ron Paul is not a Neo Conservative. He is the only candidate that knows what he is talking about, and he is the only one who really addresses the issues. RON PAUL! Don't be sheep.

[bryanamburgey]

I respect Ron Paul very much. I disagree he is the only candidate that knows what he is talking about.

What about Obama/Paul '08?!?! Hottest ticket in town.

[baronmorris]

there have been recent, extensive, and credible studies that show that experienced doctors and nurses make as many mistakes as "newbies". Obama is the kind of leader who is consistently open to the best available information, ideas, and expert opinions. He is confidently humble, not full of hubris like Clinton and McCain.

Barack Obama has the steadfast support of this 30something white male in Florida.

Obama 08 and I can't wait!

[tnguyen603]

if those statistics about doctors are true... then I'm pretty sure that's fucking fake!! if you were to analyze Obama's plan and Hillary's plan, you will begin to see that 99% of it are the same... except for some minor twitches... but what is amazing is that... all you Obama's fan talk so much shit about Hillary's plan.... Obama has nice characteristics (nice, humble, etc) but that does NOT mean that he is a GREAT president... We are hiring people for a position, not making a new Friend!!

[jaw408]

Yes, that's Elizabeth Roberts in the background. She is backing Clinton. Patrick Lynch, Patrick Kennedy and Charlie Fogarty were there, too. They are all backing Obama. Look for Lynch and Fogarty to become the next Gov and Lt. Gov. in RI in 2012.

[jaw408]

Obama made this speech in November of 2006 when he was campaigning for Sheldon Whitehouse for Senate. I was there and it was an inspiring speech. Notice he is saying the same thing then that he is saying now? He is genuine, courageous and a person of conviction. Intestingly, Whitehouse defeated Lincoln Chafee in that election. Whitehouse is now backing Clinton and Chafee is backing Obama. Rhode Islanders truly respect and admire Chafee for his integrity. Could be an upset in RI on Tues?

[bryanamburgey]

Let's hope so.

[TwentiesFlapper]

is that elizabeth roberts in the background?

[gfacuso]

I notice where now Obama is stressing trust

in his speeches to Rhode Islanders. This is simply because, after Hillary and

the republican candidates have attacked him

on his lack of knowledge of foreign policy,

trust from the people (if there is much of it)

is all he's got left.

[lumulixx]

what a great common sense speaker!

[wrldgornd]

The choice couldn't be more clear. One nominee - winning theme, organized, brilliant, stable, positive.  Other nominee - always changing theme, disorganization, emotionally unstable, frequently negative.

Texas, Rhode Island, Ohio - you're smart Americans and will make the smart choice.

[77Tom77Tom77]

That's the enormous opportunity we have.

Obama 08!

[franco1014]

very inspiring...
