  • Got my vote.

  • 2 thumbs up from a guy who is getting his masters degree in industrial engineering - power systems focus.

  • Obama in 2008! Forget what the McCain people say! This man is very smart!

  • Despite McCain's refusal to vote for renewable energy, he's running TV ads during the Olympics, showing a wind farm full of spinning turbines, the exact same energy he WOULD NOT vote in support of EIGHT TIMES over the past year.

    McCain presumes Americans are SO stupid that if he just shows them wind turbines in an Olympics ad they'll actually think he showed up and voted for such renewable power — when he didn't.

  • The U.S ought to hire this man.

  • you have almost 70,000 subscribers. mccain has about 13,000. you're the hope america needs right now and i love what you have to say.

  • John McCain is an ANGRY, WAR-HUNGRY MONSTER, who has no poblems sacrificing human lives in his quest for WAR!

    John McCain has vowed to BOMB IRAN in his 1st year of office! THIS IS SERIOUS!

    Israel will immediately engage, which will force the Saudis to rise up in support of Iran. ALL NUCLEAR NATIONS!

    This will be the start of World War III.

    Little man McCain seems to have alot to prove. He will instigate a war of magnificent proportions immediately!

    JOHN MCCAIN = WORLD WAR III.

  • OBAMA 08

  • The Demorat's & Obama got embarrassed when they brought T.Boone.They thought he was against drilling all together.He is only against drilling in other countries not in the U.S. He hates to see 700 billion dollars a years go to other countries & people that hate us!

  • Drilling is a lot faster than Obamas plan.Plus

    how are the low income people & 9 million living in poverty in the U.S. going to afford the transition & battery cars ?The middle class will have a hard time.We could keep the

    700 billion here that we give countries for oil that hate us.Then with the incredible amount of new tax money we could get very aggressive with wind,solar,nuclear,research & higher standards.That 15 billion Obama want's

    to use is peanut's!

  • It's true Hybrid vehicles consume LESS gas, but they still consume gas. We have the technology to build fast, affordable, fully electric vehicles that can travel more than 100 miles on a single charge AND look just like vehicles on the road today. (Search: "Who Killed the Electric Car") Problem is corrupt politicians, whose power is lavishly funded with oil money, prefer to serve the short-term interests of greedy oil executives than the long-term interests of ordinary people like you.

  • Step away from the pump and look at the bigger picture. Based on current usage levels, by or before 2020 the world's supply of petroleum will fall below the level required to meet international demand. Unless we pursue renewable energy NOW as if it were the Space Race, the United States will reach a point where there is no longer enough oil to sustain civilization in its present form. Clearly, a comprehensive national oil savings strategy is the only real way to ensure America's energy security.

  • Someone said you cant say negative things here? I'd like to find out. I'm an Obama supporter, but if thats true, that would totally piss me off!

  • After listing to this speach, it seems you would be an enormous unresponible person to vote for Mc Cain. I am from the Netherlands so what the hell would I know but I know it is time for change for the American people. Obama has solutions that I haven't heard in Mc Cain speeches

  • Solutions at last!

    KEEP IT UP, OBAMA!

  • i live in lansing but i dont know where this was held but i nvr found out so oh well i guess. but hes right about washington though =p

  • Barack Obama is the only one who is allowed to upload a video that is much longer than 10 minutes^^

  • Go bama Go bama GO!

  • Addiction. I could leave Oil in one day. But, I must get to work, able to drive away when I'm done. I stop before going home to buy stuff to save trips. I keep my tires inflated to the right pressure. Engine tuned and smogged. I'm done with importation of Oil, no Chavez Oil for me. I would use clean tech in a heartbeat. Spent less than $30 on fuel per month last winter. My Energy provider gave me a 20% rebate. I wore sweaters and sweatsuits. Have all CFL's, looking at L.E.D's. I have auto lights

  • Check this youtube video out:

    Anne Korin's Oil Solution 1of7

    I hope Anne Korin ends up being Obama's energy advisor!

    I hope Anne Korin ends up being Obama's energy advisor!

  • Check this video out:

    Anne Korin's Oil Solution 1of7

    watch?v=7MVwL2PcCG8

    Anne Korin needs to be Obama's energy advisor.

  • OBAMA YOU OWNN!!!!!!!!

  • "End the age of oil in our time!"

    Yes, we can!

  • woo! obama

  • AND OIL

  • ELECTRICITY IS MADE WITH COAL!!!!

  • two words.....Fear tactics

  • I hope gas prices go up to $5 per gal. This will help to make people understand how important that we must turn to alternative fules, and get off our addition to Mighty OIL. I saw on CNN that we could make fuel from Ecoli. What's up? Let's do this America, Help elect Obama to lead us to the future.

  • ok u know whatt let me see you pay $5 per gal. right now i think you are the only one in america who wants to pay $5 b/c no one wants 2...obama is 4 lower gas prices so get ur facts satraight

  • I'm from Michigan and I'm telling you, I believe that Michigan will stay blue this November.

  • im sick of american scientists telling people about global warming and telling other countries to cut down on electricity...all i have to say is

    LAS VEGAS

  • Isn't Nevada the #1 state in the nation in solar watts per capita?

  • If Obama was serious about his energy plan, he'd propose a Constitutional Amendment to require all new buildings and homes to have solar panels.

    Might be too gutsy for him.

  • ***ALOHA***

    mr.Barack Obama is here in HAWAII--back to his old stomping grounds as a kid--we as a state are proud to have him here. ~~REPRESENT~~

  • I wish the politicians in my country had a fraction of your vision.

    Vote for this man America! Interesting times are ahead.

  • Either you believe him, or you don't. Either you trust him, or you don't Either you, chose to change the Greatest country in the world, or you didn't... Senator Obama speaks the truth. The truth shall be told... Peace!

  • yay obama!!

  • Go Obama!

  • Im from Australia & I have to say that Obama is truly a fresh breath of air! We love him here in Australia hes a man of vision & a man who is restoring our hope in America again! Its the first time in a long while that we have seen Americas united under one cause.. other than war.

    Everyone can blog on youtube not many can stand up & speak & initiate change like he does. Perhaps we should support initiators of change rather than bad mouth them on youtube? thats just counter productive..isnt it?

  • OBAMA FOR PRESS!!

  • After you watch an idiot for a while (BUSH) sometimes it is hard to listen to common sense...

  • There likely is no place that is hurting more from the poor economy then lansing michigan... I grew up there and recently went home (from DC) and it is a seriously depressed city... Barack gives places like lansing hope

  • im a young man in canada who holds knowledge to green piece , and technology solvents to all the worlds problems. and would like very much so to meet with other world leaders like mr. barack Obama ,

  • This site doesnt allow any comments that go against obama does it? Way to try to stop the discussion into the alternate reality that you are trying to create. You are pathetic.

  • msnbc. msn. com / id / 25613861 /

    "Untapped Oil Reserves Could Fuel the U.S. for 300 Years"

    ipaa. org / issues / comments / NaturalGasCommission . asp

    For decades, the feds have raked in $millions in lease payments from O&G cos.; then, restricted development thru ever-increasing bureaucratic & environmental measures. It's a veritable cash cow for them, & at the same time, they're able to appease the environuts. They're masters at having it both ways, while U.S. citizens pay the price.

  • Yuo saw what I said to you elsewhere...the oil may be there, but we on't have the refinery capacity and the costs are very high, not to mention the devastation drilling and mining shale will cause. I will tell you one thing, the state of Colorado will never allow environmental hazards. So wouln't it make more sense to recreate our power grid with clean energy? Hell, I am not against nuclear energy, if it's issues can be resolved (cost and fuel disposal).

  • wasnt august 4th your bday? i remembered cuz thats my dads

  • there is so much natural energy out there that once we learn how to unlock it we will have unlimited power , yes unlimited so vote for obama and get on the way to achieving it .Lets make this world modern , smart and clean .Stop war trade with all nations and lead by example .

    Best wishes from Australia

  • as a pysicist, an enviormentalist and someone who belives in the wellbeing of the entire planet (european here) i am touched by this speach. I mean while the McCain campaign puts up stupid adds Obama is actually doing some really meeaningfull stuff. If i lived in the US this would be the guy i'd vote for.

  • You are awesome. Great speech. Great policy.

    Thanks for the courage and faith to lead!

  • and i forgot to say (cuz the comment thing was full) we need to put more e85 ethanol in all of our gas station pumps ,more eco friendly, and cheaper

  • actually, we should start using more eco- friendly energy, like wind energy, water wheel, and those kind of energy, and maybe if there is a way to put a Wind turbine in like a car, then cars can be powered that way, we need to make more eco friendly stuff, then our economy will be better! we also need to use solar energy, we need to stop using coal, and nuclear power plants i hope you will do this obama!

  • we need a president like u obama! i live in michigan!

  • obama for president! good man

  • I hope I can one day stand and give a speech the way you do. You are above average.

  • This is the point-the guy cares about others and is one of the smartest people on the planet. Vote for him and make the world a better and safer place. Rock On! TKD

  • How so?

  • Why would it be a better and safer place? I'm just curious because I don't know who I'm going to vote for

  • It seems to me that the world be better and safer if we had good jobs and top-flighht scientific innovation coming to the heartland, didn't have to send the money for 25 percent of our oil to the Middle East and Venezuela, and reduced electricity consumption, costs & green house gasses? That's the prgram he wants to pursue.

  • I agree with you! However, you number is sadly low... we depend on foreign oil for almost three times that amount. Disgusting, right?

  • Do you mean as far as energy independence or something else?

  • Barack should hammer this fact that McCain has been absent most of the time he's served in the senate.

  • or sleeping in his seat..

  • That's not a fact.  LOL.

    It's factual if you said "this year."

    Don't forget as well, Obama is the third least present, and HE HASN'T even finished his first term in the Senate. That's WHY he isn't hammering McCain on this.

  • it because he is talking to the people,and these are issues if you read time magazines,economist and other magazines,thats whats up in the world!

  • Thanks

  • Obama back on form!

  • Don't vote for a party, vote for the man..a good man,,Barack Obama! Alternative energy, for sure. Solar is good..no man has ever shed another's blood over sunlight :)

  • You vote for the candidate you get the party. sorry

  • reduce electricity production and usage, yet make millions of electric cars. Kind of a contradiction????

  • Not if you know how an electric car actually works.

  • There is a difference between attacking policies and personal attacks. I think the Obama camp should hit McCain hard on a new gaping weakness - that he has decided to run a Karl Rove style campaign. Nothing ties him to being another George W. Bush more than that. The Obama camp must repeatedly point out just how the McCain camp has decided to campaign. Distill it like this - McCain's subconscious message is "Because doubt is safer than hope." and seeks to undermine Obama's conscious hope message

  • "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things. Not because because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that challenge is one we are willing to accept".

    I don't think it's coincidence that Barack's message sounds so similar. What he is proposing is just a daunting. But we took that challenge and we accomplished it. Even if Obama's goals are too ambitious, at least he wants to get us going in the right direction.

  • happy late b-day obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What a great speech. You know he pissed off all oil companies when he said give checks to people to pay for gas from the outrageous profits they been making, Cant wait till he's president.

  • I bought a new tire gauge today!

  • Keep Up The Good Job! Change Is Going To Come!

  • Increasing the number of battery-dependent cars on the road while simultaneously cutting electricity usage?

    Something doesn't add up.

  • GO OBAMA GO!!!

  • Obama has done a total flip flop on energy!

    WHAT is wrong with this guy?

  • Ok, nm... it looks official :(

  • I am a supporter of Barack Obama. Not with money, with trust... Obama for President!

  • I am a supporter for Barack Obama. Not with money, with trust... Obama for President!

  • Just say no to John Mcsame and his merry band of Loyal Bushies!

    Obama in 2008!!

  • Fantastic speech that had specifics, some of the upbeat optimisim and hope that we look for and an ambitious goal for not only Obama's administration, but for the american people to better themselves.

  • What people need to do is buying so much crap from China

  • Barack Obama is the winner. John McCain is reduced to making fun of him. John McCain is reduced to responding to Paris Hilton. LOL. Goodbye John McCain. You and your people have been in complete control since 1995. You blew it.

  • well they let you post this....

    so you look like an idiot now

  • Seriously now, I honestly don't see how anyone could think that voting for Johnny-boy over Obama is a good idea. Barack Obama is the most presidential human being to run for the office since JFK.

    I really hope we get some presidential debates soon. Obama would eat McCain alive.

  • are you an idiot? You must be to come here on a 33 min video that explains the plan in depth and mention that. The tire inflation comment is 100% true and will reduce gas consumption by 3.3%. Also, that was framed incorrectly and was an answer to a question a supporter asked about how SHE could help by doing little things. That was one of the answer which is 100% FACT and is mentioned on many sites about conservation.

  • oh i understand he deletes everyones comments so it makes him seem good..

  • Your comment seems to be here. I doubt he is doing as you claim.

  • Obama for president of U.S. passion is key

  • lets vote for a non politician like Reagan..say..Paris Hilton? T boone pickens for VP

  • Cassandrea007- Barack Obama's energy plan is comprehensive. His statement about inflating tires was in response to a question. FACT- The Department of Energy estimates that keeping tires inflated can help improve gas mileage by about 3.3%. It's one step the agency recommends, along with removing items from the trunk, replacing clogged air filters and getting regular tuneups. Only 3% of world oil is here in the US. The long-term solution is to curb our dependence. Did you watch the video?

  • obama for president 08

  • you forgot to mention that mccain along with offshore drilling has also mentioned the use of nuclear power.

  • Im a canadian supporter of obama, however.. Nuclear power would make a huge difference in the US's contribution to pollution. Did you know, most nucular reactors produce 7-9 barrels of waste a year? Providing more energy then multiple coal factories. Coal is the cheapest but most pollutant source of energy. The key is a combination of wind and nucular energy... and eventually when solar gets cheaper, solar. We MUST get rid of coal use...

  • Most nuclear station is for plutonium for atomic bomb.. for energy :)

    and they are very dangerous.. do you remember Chernobyl?

    Solar, wind and tidal power stations will be much better, a specially in USA whith a lot of sun and wind :)

  • Lansing, Michigan. :) I'm happy to have him in my state. Can't wait to vote for him!

  • Clean energy industry in America? Sounds good to me, will create new jobs. Works in other countries.

    Repubs had 8 years to make something work better for America and they just chose to fatten their own pockets.

    Obama 08

  • Obama for the president of the U.S!

    Greetings from Europe!

  • Obama es mi amigo

  • SAN DIEGO <3's OBAMA!!!!

  • Oh look, all these comments need approval, hooray for free speech!

  • McSame policy is KEEP DIGGING BABY. The mc cain campain wine about the amount of people and press Obama gets, if his policy was like Obamas he two may be popular. Then he gives media tire pens,AS A JOKE,then he makes fun of bible comparison,AS A JOKE.Then makes fun of young women Hilton and Britny one that may be suffering a mental illness so he makes fun of a handicap person,AS A JOKE, Do you feel gas prices and mother earth is a joke, if so vote for the joker. hagd

  • i love this man oil is outdated time to move forward america

  • i couldn't agree with you more

  • im not American but i can sey theat the Obama is much beter presedent of Bush

  • I do agree for alternative energy Yes in a nuc power plants like in Europe and wind and solar and others. But oil will be on demand for a long time. Plus in and off the coasts Ameria there is oil supply that surpasses the Arab states. Yet congress does nothing for decades. Car companies do nothing for high mpg cars for mid size cars. Electric cars will need power plants that produce energy for these cars. We can not just run out for high price hybred Small cars

    Oil companies make

  • McCain's attempt to jokingly pass off a tire gauge as Obama's "Energy Plan" just bit him on his own arse. It turns out, Obama's SUGGESTION to someone who asked what they could do to help actually CONSERVES MORE that McCain's REAL energy plan could produce!!

    AAAAHAHAHAHA

    Not to mention you wouldn't have to wait 8 years for it to make a difference!

  • Obama 08!

  • Fantastic! Cheap clean energy will make capitalism great for all. There will be a new standard of what it means to be poor or to be a labor hand. Go, Obama; Bring it home.The Oil

    industry do not represent our economy.

    Alberto

  • watched it on CSpan, good info

  • Obama address the nation and the world as a whole in accordence with Time and Space...

  • The next president of the United States of America.

  • Great speech. makes me proud my son is an US citizen.

    COOL NEW PRESIDENT 08

  • great video~

  • Another great speech. But I wish our 100 kids could post their video responses on this site. McCain's site is open and Obama's should be too. We have a lot of kids who love Obama.

  • I too wish he would be more straight forward, especially about our collective and individual responsibility to this challenge. I know he doesn't want another "bitter-gate" and elienate all those "pick-up' owners but someone needs to say it, we are an over-consuming, gluttonous nation in some ways, he could call out hummer drivers who can afford to buy fuel efficient cars, single people with gas guzzlers and cities without mass transit.

  • Obama in 08'!!!

  • IF WE Got the SUV off are usa market we can have form 4 dollars a gallon to 2.87 a gallon i hope you all agree suv are only like a family long travel vehicle now a go everywhere one haha =)

  • Change... I can believe in... Obama for President 2008!!!, & please don't forget Texas. Greetz!!

  • Obama Rocks!!!

  • He sounds presidential...He acts presidential..not like the guy with the white hair who still do not understand that US does not want him! GO Obama! Our Energizer!

  • Go Obama! Go veg! Be green! Save our planet!!

  • jeez man what the heck do they do with all that money..they can't even get rid of all that dough if they wanted to? life is sad.

  • The Candidates Messages to American

    Obama: Yes we can!

    McCain: No, you can't.

  • Obama's my buddy!

  • I am for Obama

    but promises of more offshore drilling and in land reserves in Alaska ???

  • Obama!

  • I wish I could comment

  • can i post anything without the comment tpending approval?

  • Yeah,

    Happy belated Birthday Senator!

  • The brother's gonna work it out in 08

    Obama

  • Obama for the future!

  • what a great man

  • OBAMA 08!!

  • OBAMA 08

  • why is this so long i'm not going to watch the whole thing

  • Guess my rights to speak out got outweighed by your rights to censor. Well that was another notch down in my faith of the party :(

  • HIS BEST SPEECH EVER yesterday. Outstanding and deep

  • Obama truly is more commanding than McCain.

    Republicans are irresponsible, like children who nag about the same, simple-minded thing over and over and over.

  • going to be so nice to have a president that talks eloquently and not like slow a 6th grader from texas

  • Dude!! Just the first second the video plays you can actually feel Obama as a Leader..his speeches sound right out of his guts..

  • I'd vote for him if I could (I live in Europe...). This dude rocks.

  • VOTE OBAMA 08!

    McCain = 4 more years of failed Bush policies!

  • i also should mention 'IF i am president' does often sound better than 'WHEN i am president'.

    many people prefer humility to overconfidence and histrionics.

    obama 08 - the man with the plan.

  • Americans be smart this time! Vote for the intelligent and right choice! Obama '08

  • Makes sense to me.... McCain does not seem to have a clue.

  • Proud that my son is an US citizen

    BARACK OBAMA for president

    no doubt about it!!!

  • Nice speech. Thanks for being such a strong advocate for working class.

  • The security-terrorist stuff is nonsense, but the energy stuff is excellent. He is at least coherent, liberal and intelligent which is more than one can say for McBush.

  • happy birth day obama carry on we r with u

  • There is no question he can change .I trust him

  • Happy belated Birthday!!

  • wooohooo obama! change america!

  • Obama '08!!!

  • obamas the man

  • Obama!! Obama!!

  • You are an idiot! Please read up on how inflating tires impacts the environment and don't be such a pea brained partisan.

  • This makes much more sense than McSame's pandering. McCain's plan is drilling more oil even though it won't change a thing. I wish everyone would educate themselves and not be distracted by non-issues. WAKE UP AMERICA !!! Lets vote For Barack !!!!!

  • This guy is good. I'm in the military and don't want McCain to wn. I'm tired of deploying all the damn time.

    Plus McCain couldn't beat Bush.

  • I love Obama's speeches, but his cue reading is getting a little awk.

  • Can't you all see this man must be president? I mean what more can anyone ask for? Who in their right mind would vote for McCain? I try, but I just cant wrap my brain around the concept of voting for an old man, a horse and buggy man, someone applying the same old techniques and expect different results.

  • me and my cousin have the same b-day august 4th same as Obama's so when its my b-day it well be the presidents b-day too

  • What is that shit McCain is talking about something about "Tire Pressure"?

  • Bush=McCain and More of the Same

  • I love you Obama. I'm a lot smarter than that statement in real life --- I promise! Obama 08!!!

  • You are so cool Obama

  • my bad, I meant to give you a thumbs up.

    sorry!

  • Obama for the future!

  • Happy belated Birthday!!

    =D

  • Obama announces a new Manhattan Project, this time not to build a bomb that destroys cities, but to develop renewable energy technology that will save our planet for future generations and solve the crises in energy, employment, environment and economy.

    Or you could wait for the magic wand that McBush promises to wave in order to lower gas prices and cut taxes at the same time. You know, the same magic wand that Bush used to recue New Orleans and win the war in Iraq.

  • I like barack but you can't ever unsubscribe from his web stuff. I don't like that. He's a great orator. I like Michelle but I'm just not political this season. oh well.

  • please vote. it's too important for apathy.

  • man, i don't mean to frame it like this, but my kids need your participation in our democratic process.
