If he really wants to help the American auto maker, he should support more American drilling. China, India and Russia to name a few are doing it now and their economies are booming. Plus are cars NEED oil to run.
Hotsapepper, those who claim Obama doesn't give specifics are those who don't want to here the specifics.
Obama has held numerous, numerous town hall meetings, such as this one, specifically describing what exactly he means when he says he would bring change.
Name the topic, and there is a town hall meeting describing in detail what he would do to improve it.
Some people say they just don't know what Obama would change. That he hasn't given specifics. In this speech I hear specifics. It sounds like he's someone who will go to bat for the working class man to give us a fair shake. To help us get back what the corporations and government have stolen from us, our jobs. This doesn't sound like charity to me. It sounds like justice and in no way a handout. We have a fascist dictator now.
As a Canadian, I urge my American neighbours to make history in 2009 - elect a President that will work to restore the US reputation around the world and make us all safer. I think that President will be Barak Obama.
Obama is one of the big men in history,and I am proud,and happy to be alive in his time;a time when change will come around.
If God is real,he has listened to our prayers and hopes and given us this man in a time and world that needs him,and the people who he will bring to the table of peace and respect and hope.
He's very intelligent, an ideaologist. And he's a breath of fresh air needed to give America it's second win. I am proud to be a Barack Obama supporter
i have always had trouble discerning exactly what barack obama would change, i admit that i have for that reason been skeptical. he believes as he states in this video, that the government should have direct responsibility and involvement in directing the private sector and overall market, and he believes it is the governments responsibility to provide charity as it sees fit. now if that isnt the definition of fascism and socialism, please could someone enlighten me?
Frankie, Govt already has responsibility for regulating the market. Do we have a socialist govt now? GWB has failed to regulate according to law, thus assuring the fat cats get fatter & you & I become cogs in the CEO wealth machine. GWB/Cheney's patriotism propaganda & corporatism policies are in fact closer to fascism than anything the Democrats have done or propose to do. And McCain will perpetuate this war and greed economy. That's why the revolution was fought in the 1st place 200+ yrs ago.
fascism and socialism , two different things...we are in the shit ,deep, and everyone is so divided , i dont know if we can move toward any real solution.. hell you cant even say "liberal" anymore...on healthcare , we are the only "1st world " nation without it.. it works elswhere , why not here ? hell we cant even take care of the vets , not that we ever really did , education is lacking ,we arent even in the top ten , for like 20 yrs so we need to ease up on hating and move the "F" forwards...
After 8 years of a disastrous administration, our reward is Barack Obama. It seems as if there is a GOD after all! And he seems to raise up special people for special times in our nation's history. From Lincoln to FDR there have been challenging moments in our history. These men guided us through them. Barack OBAMA is that type of leader.Sharp-minded, empathetic, logical, resilient, disciplined and principled.
I think the reason that Obama didn't go to West Virginia was because of the intollerance and possible danger of going there. He was probably adviced not to for that reason alone.
How Republicans possibly think McCain will win against Obama? McCain is running on a platform that 75% of the nation is opposed to, and he's riding on the coattails of the president with the lowest approval rating in modern history.
This man understands that its not good enough to say "oh other countries have cheaper labor". America still leads I.T. in the world because its built on BRAINS. Manufacture can be like that; it just requires leadership, and Obama can provide that!!!!! Please move forward, not backward!!
I love Obama I'm so happy he finally came here, check the guy out in the front to the far left he's a hater he looks like he's not feeling Obama so why is he there?
Obama can lead us in a 21st Century Economy.Restore our Trust around the world and how They view us and most importantly bring OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN HOME FROM IRAQ.America We can do this,lets make the right Choice.OBAMA 08 {FUTURE}
I think his stomach was rumbling and he was wishing he would have stopped for a Double Whopper. He clapped so that was a positive sign on some front. I'm betting on the Double Whopper.
he's just listening intently. I know I always look angry to people when i'm concentrating. All of those guys seem pretty stern, and given the economic state of this country, they have reason to be.
Sounds like good plans and a direction we all can live with. Not bad for a guy who's weakness is suppose to be no experience ! This man can unite blacks and whites and set us in a positive direction that will be noticed by the every person on this globe ! I firmly believe this ! !
Anyone heard the plan to begin 'energy farming'? Why is the US goverment paying farmers not to grow crops when these same farmers not growing crops, can create energy thru solar collector arrays and wind power and thermal energy? This is clean energy, it helps to create jobs and busts the stranglehold the oil industry is currently enjoying and wreaking havoc to our energy industry. It also solves the problem of fossil fuel consumption destroying our planet. Thanks and Please Vote OBAMA in '08!!!
Partner in industry! What a President!!! I hope all of our US workers are paying attention! This is our chance for change! This is an opportunity for all citizens to better themselves. We need Obama!
Obama '08 (and '12!!). We need to step past this petty divisiveness that Bush, Rove, and Cheney have feasted upon and McCain and Clinton stand poised to continue. Only together can we move forward to a better tomorrow (progress!!) and the only way we can do that is with THIS man in office!!
Obama '08! The only candidate that will try to unite this country. It is time that we stop having a two tier system in the US! We have the best healthcare, education, legal, tax system, and higher education systems in the world for the very wealthy and another system that is ranked lower than some 3rd world countries for everyone else. By leveling the playing field, everyone has a reason to contribute and help build this nation. With a strong nation, comes prosperity for all.
i hear your confidence as you speak here in Michigan(video),i am glad you did not say john mccain is a good man and a war hero i am tired of hearing about john mccain being a hero when he wants more troops to stay in harms way.Thats means more casket being shipped back to the united states.Barack i am glad you moved on from W. virginia coz some people are afraid of change.If hilary doesnt want to be V.P. there are others democrats who are woman. Barack Obama for President 2008
BARACK 08!!!.. we can win michigan and florida.. we didn't campaign there so.. you know the saying: IF MAMA MEETS OBAMA... SHE WILL VOTE FOR HIM.. UMMM something like that.. lol

If you're a working middleclass family, your life going to be easier with Obama.

In response to bynddrvn5:
That is not true.
The privileged on Wall Street really are privileged.
Short story:
Years ago I was on the subway heading to Wall Street early in the morning during the week.
A boy (age was about 9 or 10 years old).
This boy was standing, leaning on the post reading the Wall Street Journal as he was heading to his privileged school on Wall Street.
So, when Obama speaks of Wall Street, those kids really are privileged.
