2 year old recites Gettysburg Address

[pogi3rd]

Congratss!! Parents! And kid!

[Arconeus]

OK...at 2 this kid is either reciting from memory (which he does at some parts when he looks away from the camera) or he reads it and is prompted by his dad. That said, VERY good show sir. Great ability on both accounts. (Reading and memory)

[incomingfire186165]

This kid is awesome!!!! I want all my kids to be able to do this!

[numba1gringo]

Way better than getting your kid to say "sparkling wiggles", parenting win!

[VanessAndGabby]

Omg this is awesome im in middle school and i cant even memorize it! Aaah!

[reddavid214]

My God, Christian, You Are Super Super Super Awesome, Magnificent & Spectacular!!! At only 2 yrs old and you are already more intelligent than 99% of the people on Youtube. You are Absolutely Immensely cute little genius. I wish you and you family the Best of Joy, Peace, Love, Happiness, Health & Success. Your future wil be as bright as a Supernova.!!!

With great love and respect from your friend, Reddavid.

[CheckM8King2]

Future president of the United States!

[jamante10]

How were you able to train your son? I would love to know. He's so good :)

[UglyGamer961]

Oh my god!! That's awesome!!

[TarynLynn63]

If you notice it says recites, not memorized....so even if he WAS reading, he wasnt claiming he was repeating by memory. And a 2 year old reading words that large is a talent in itself if thats the case. You wouldnt criticize if the video was titled "reads the Gettysburg address" get off your high horses, trolling for the negative in everything.

[jesuspreciousejewl]

whaohhh this totally amazed me i am being tested in my honors 10 english class on this tomorow! i hav to memorize ut all an if a 2 year old can do it hopefully i can, God help me (:

[soccer8595]

lol that's amazing. its mad cute when he yells out some parts haha

[BrandeynAndMicheal]

Surprisingly, This helped me study for my Gettysburg address test that is tomorrow.. Weird...

[mrbigtruth34]

Who cares.....this kids rocks! WOW

[ArmyHudson]

This kid knows it. But about 90 somthimg percent of teens and adults dnt know it

[1mic3]

This kid is fantastic!!!!, He'll have Lincoln's job when he is older!!

[minasoliman]

Why isn't this video viral?

[jacobsmomma1000]

How did you teach him that? That is so cool!

[DanielleDaqMusic]

looooooonggggg and NEVER

[laramikaela28]

Going to recite tomorrow this on class... I'm now 18! hahah amazing that a 2yr. old baby can do such thing. HHAAHAHAH!

[laika005]

ok pour la publicite'

[varoujan5]

i cant even do this.. im 13

[jacobmohawk]

@varoujan5 lol same

[S37151]

wow! im impressed! also he likes to talk; my nephew is two years old and he cant say sentences just yet; he doesnt like talking; but its coming soon i think! you are doing a great jb as parents :)

[c1o4d3y]

that is the smartest two year old i have ever seen!! and so cute!

[dancestrong333]

looks like someone's hooked on phonics

[MUFASA12ful]

Amazing little man(: I gotta do this tomorrow and I'm gunna fail!!

[TheJfather1]

I have been studing this for a week for a history test tomarrow and im still not as good as this kid :(

[anburioshy]

Wow I have to say this tomorrow and this kid knows way more than I do.

[JEKND51]

omg , i wish i had his brain ! i have to recite this tommorow and this ( cute ) little kid could do this all pro-like . dayyyuuumm i wish i had your brain !

[pinklefty]

He's so cute!

[pinklefty]

Wow! I had to memorize the Gettysburg Address for school!

[pickles410]

Very Cool

[fishdude3213]

You can see him reading off cards but its still amazing

[mlucas3512]

Einstein WHO??

[DDbRowN67]

Christian is adorable and smart!  :)

[MikkiLuvsDominic]

Dude this kid couldn't have been reading cue cards!!! He is 2 years old!!! Cmon retards think with ur pea sized brain!!!

[2BEcontinue1]

LOL isn't he like 6 now or something?!

[angrywaffle97]

brilliant! 

[pinkybananas1]

Who unliked this baby Abraham Lincoln genius?!

[xVicTheSaintx]

The fact that he can say "consecrated" is amazing. Most people probably wouldn't be able to spell it, let alone read it and pronounce it properly. This child gives me hope that our future is not completely lost.

[superbballfreak77]

He is soooooo cute but I think the cameraman was holding up cue cards. But I have to tell the truth he is sooooooooo smart if he can memorize the Gettysburg Address because I cant even memorize it. GO LIL DUDE!!

[ItsMeTheSteph]

Even if the kid was reading cue cards, he's still damn smart! By the time he gets to 7th or 8th grade when they cover that portion of history, he'll know about the speech far longer than his class mates! Good kid and great parenting! =)

[sillylucinda13]

wow! he is a really smart 2 year old to be able to read all of that. GO LITTLE DUDE! :) and memorize about almost all of it.

[MsSabrinaMae]

WOW! i can barely remember the last part of the Gettysburg Address!!!!!! and i had to do that just last friday and im 13!!!!

[KELLYLYNNPOTTER]

he probably is reading cue cards if you look close you can see your baby can read materials on the table "know" but even if he is that makes him smart cause he can read.

[KODIAKandSAPPORO]

The ten people that dislike this are just jealous that a two year old possesses more intelligence than they ever will. Absolutely remarkable for someone that young.

[foreverandever8283]

Ever consider the cue cards were for the person filming?

[Abra123Cadaba]

i dont fuckin care what ppl say that shit was cute and the best haha even if he read the cards big deal i bet no one else did that when they were two...no didnt think so i see a next Harvard or Yale or Princeston graduate

[TwoHardCore]

That's cool, now if we could get children 2 be like this, there might be hope for this fucked nation yet.

[brookewoodbengals]

thats sooooo cute!!!! hes better than i am!!!! good job christian!!!!!!

[Yetineko]

Dang, that kids better than my class and we're in 8th grade -_-; He's such a cute and smart nephew XD

[motorhommie]

My God, maybe there IS hope for our nation. My prayer is that ALL young parents teach this to their children.

[dadepoot]

This is one smart kid. Amazing!!!

[Zuckerveilchen]

now i feel like a loser because it takes so long for me to learn it.

[DeLarger]

What's debotion?

[XiaoWei666]

Sweet!

[SpiderDude420]

i like how the Mom walks in and nods at the Dad like "oh he's doing it again?"

[55gamerGuy]

Awaome your son is better than I am

[paul8kangas]

Great work Dad.

Youtube: paul8kangas

[heenimbel]

amazing child!

[TheBlackaddar]

he can memorize this and i cant, -_-, i really gotta get a grip on this thing, XD

[FathomLordKarathr]

wow but dose he know what it even means anyone can memorize things even a two year old

[PiperPilot140]

Wow. Very Impressive. I think only logical explination is that this child is Abe reincate. He'll make a hell of a history teacher one day.

[akira556]

wow :) I think he's reading... but even if he read.. :) he's a gifted child.. that's what I can say

[notlumpy]

what are you feeding this kid?? lol

[bugsbunny2022]

People are calling him fake cos they heard cue cards? That would still be amazing as he is reading cue cards at two. I think he recited this from memory as most two year old's can't read. Guess what? That makes him a lot more intelligent because he's remembering a set of words that make up the Gettysburg address. I'll bet his IQ is in the 180's? At least.

[kellbros2]

@bugsbunny2022 i no, notice how he looks away, he knows what he sayin.

[beccao7]

That's amazing. He is super smart just to be able to remember all that. Not to mention really cute... I have a question though, what does the infant being carried around in the background do?

[copper613]

lie you fuckin slt

[TheDancerChic]

This is crazy!!! What a smart little guy!!

[hannahmichellebrown]

OH MY GOD. That was adorable and amazing! (:

[TheWerewolfKnight]

Amazing..... if this kid runs for president, I'm voting for him.

[ldavis8]

And my godson could only sing "Ba ba Black Sheep" when he was two years old....but he may have understood what he was singing.

[thaprincess313]

even if he had cue cards aren't you just impressed that this kid can read those big words?? GOOD JOB!

[Lilly85292]

haha i have to recite this tomorrow!!! and i only know a little bit like until we are met on a great battlefield of that war!! haha still tht is veryyyyyy awesome!! smart kid!!! :)

[XRabbitXLoveX]

Who cares if they had cue cards im in *th grade and i can barley even read the words!! Thats is very impressive. :)

[Lilly85292]

@XRabbitXLoveX omg heyy!! i didnt even know u looked this up!! lol i got bored and i was studying it and then i just looked up gettysburg address and then i saw this and im like NO WAY!!! lol the kid is smarter than me!! :D

[JonahBradwell]

Ya I heard the cue cards in the back ground to. It was so obvious because he was looking there the entire time while he - read - the Gettysburg address.

[TheKiddGalaxy]

@JonahBradwell Its a two year old reading words that we barely can. Still Amazing.

[beckyboosaysmoo]

@JonahBradwell most two year olds cant read though, so.

[FathomLordKarathr]

@beckyboosaysmoo NO THEY CANT DID YOU WHEN YOU WERE TWO?

[TrueNorth2009]

Well there you go another little American in the making - time well spent on a two year old.

Let's revisit him in 11 or 12 years and see how neurotic he is.

I'm sure his parents are very pleased with him.

[touchogrey]

@TrueNorth2009 truenorth...you sir...are a completely ignorant fool.

[SilentTrama]

words that all people of all ages should know and remember for the rest of their lives.

[dnklcs15]

Please tell me someone else heard the cue cards in the backround.

[TaylortheTuckerGirl]

@dnklcs15 and then we have a reading 2-year-old, still amazing :)

[pleased9]

@dnklcs15 ~ So what? He's only 2!

[ComputerGal12]

Omg

[Crazyrabbidfrog]

im 16 and trying to memorize this for tomorrow, and this is amazing

[Zechlarr]

Wow, i'm 13 and i don't even know it. Wait until he's older and he'll know it from heart! ..or maybe he'll forget it? haha.

Anyways, i love how just EMPHASIZES random words when he gets really quiet. :P

[Cema23]

Perfecto :-)

[Cema23]

Ferfecto :-)

[thecopykidofthestarz]

This is either a future president or the future emperor of the world. LOL

[stryker2719]

hes better than me nice

[Baby8684]

This is truly inspirational. Where many grown adults cannot recite the Gettysburg Address here is a 2 year old. Very cool indeed!

[karlicanton]

This is so awesome

[whitejackt]

Congratulations to the parents of this future great American child. Raised with the values of liberty he is destined for greatness, BRAVO

[lancecowboy]

That is amazing! What a smart kid!

[Yodasstuff]

That's a pretty smart kid!

[ashleygibson07]

wow that is amazing! He is smart 2 year old!:)

[GANGSTAELPASO]

@ashleygibson07 nothing smart, its actually easier for a small child to memorize things than an older person. Nothing impressive here

[BeantownJim]

A prodige'

[TheFrozenMovie]

how in the world is this even possible??? I dont even remember this after the test!

[dragon1201fly]

naku, talo pa nya si christopher... hehe

[jenriquez0912]

wow she bright i wonder if hes going to fail a gettysburg address test when he grows up

[westeagle83]

How can any1 give this video a thumb down? I mean ppl, seriously?

[carrboynumber3]

im pretty sure i can here the pages turning in the backround of your video so technically your 2 year can read not recite the gettysburg adress

[merlock101]

@carrboynumber3 Okay... does "your 2 year old can read" not strike you as a bit extraordinary anyway?

[morandymo]

omg what? so outstanding....he's reading this (hear the pages turning?) and yet he still gives the inflections and emphasis to the words and puts meaning into the way it was written. So incredible. High Five!!

[oldfacefull]

@morandymo he's two.... athough some (not many) two yr olds can read... this material is a little advanced for a two yr old to read. even if he did read it, that would be pretty awesome in it's self.

[columba597]

I have just witnessed some that is absolutely incredible.

[krazyredc]

o... my ... gosh. IM 13 and trying to memorize this for 7th grade!!! lol!!!!! u have a smart baby!!!

[JackiePhantom13]

WOW! This kid is AMAZING! I could really tell you that! I bet you're a very proud uncle mstars0 :D

he BEAT ME! I'm suppose to remember this by tomorrow to recite it to my teacher, but I have no blood of American, but I am very happy on the land I am standing right now! so I needed a bit help to memorize in the last 12 hours (by 7 am) and this little American boy helped me to remember at least 1/4 of it! Thank you Christian! ♥ thank you VERY MUCH!

[leungwillis]

i like how he accented some of the words or squeak it :D , nice job baby :)

[ewokel14]

wow, great job.

[victoriacastagna2010]

very true and not that knew of but still that is very impressive that a 2 year old could read that

[SavyMae]

this is great (:

[sherbella1]

A child shall lead us can anyone say they remember the Lincoln's Gettysburg Address? I do but then I dont remember it all anymore am dedicated to learning it again. I really hate change but with the past comes change to allow the future to take hold! We fight for freedom from color, race, religion or creed to allow all people to exist peacefully! Can I hear an amen!

[phillip549]

@sherbella1 Amen

[sherbella1]

@phillip549 Thanks Phillip and love your comments too!

[victoriacastagna2010]

i herd the dad turn a piece of paper so hahahahah he is reading off a piece a paper it was at 0:56 so hahahahaha but he has a cute vioce when he said it so good job

[phillip549]

@victoriacastagna2010 still he 2 could you read when you were 2

[irvingm58]

everybody should know this, EVERYBODY... WOW!!

[MsPurplelover123]

great job!! :)

[colovalgreen]

PERFECT CUTE AWSEAME!!!

[fightingscottish86]

he's not reading off of a peice of paper .... he looks away at his mom and still recites... kids r like sponges man its crazy

[WannaTalkMoney]

Very Impressive!

[demeandr121]

The kid is probably reading off a papaer he's holding up or something. No 2 year old could do this!

[chantyll2]

@demeandr121 dude even if he is reading it off of paper. its still awesome that a 2 year old could read that shit.

[demeandr121]

@chantyll2 Dude!!!! U think the Gettysburg adress is "shit?!?"

[mephisto008]

@demeandr121 even more amazing if he's reading this... remember that he's just 2 years old!!

[demeandr121]

@mephisto008 You have a point. What if they used "Your Baby can read"? They might have used that then made him do that, making it look like he remembers it.

[Mrcharliebobo]

@demeandr121 -Maybe the moon is made of marshmallows and Obamageddon is a good POTUS! Get a clue!! genius!!!

[demeandr121]

@Mrcharliebobo Really?!? The moon is made of marahmallows?!? Thanks for letting me know asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mrcharliebobo]

@demeandr121 - Don't mention it!! assclown!!

[demeandr121]

@Mrcharliebobo Metion what shitface?!?

[gscalftw]

NEVER 1:38

[xSobhan]

That's awesome

[XxNiCkLooMisxX]

hes reading it but still awesome

[ShonnnT]

WOW

[thunderhorse555666]

wow this kid is awesome

[leatherneck2044]

Good Dad!!

[booboorocky]

I was so deeply moved. I don't think I have ever listened as closely as I did this time. How very precious the words and this boy.

[MrXander124]

I'm sending to every1 I know!! If you guys are reading this, send this to all ur friends let's make this popular! We can beat charile!!! Come on send it

[MrUnclepeanuts]

jesus all I have to say 0.o

[PoseidonJ1]

Even if he IS reading it, that would still be really impressive. Not many 2 yr olds would be able to recognize words like concecratre or dedicate.

[bwilson9180]

Christian is extremely intelligent

[spin462002]

absolutely awesome! we should all have such "debotion" ; )

[ITalkBest]

he has skill

[12TheLegion]

the kid is reading it, he is always looking at the same direction throughout the entire video lol :)

[leatherneck2044]

@12TheLegion So? It is still amazing and probably more than you can do. That is why small people like you have to pick.

[JoBromanced]

Wow.Great job! I'm learning to memorize this to recite at school!

[AudioBlowout]

that was impressive for such a young person

[IsOkReallyOK]

Im 20 times his age and dont remember this address. Well done!

[bredsox93]

A 2 year old can't read "consecrate". I'll bet he memorized it.

[Clarkchannel]

You have a smart cookie!!!

[Clarkchannel]

I couldent even remembered some of the Gettysburg adress and I am 11 and in 5th grade

[glace142]

im in 5th grade and i only know the first part!

im impressed with this kid!

O _ O

[Davydoodeman]

Don't try to lie, he didnt memorize that. He is reading it from cards, I can hear you flipping paper. Grantedhe did learn how to read. But dont try to pass your kid off as a genius...

[DonaldMele]

Congratulations parents... you are doing great. I'm very happy to see this... that kid is beautiful and articulate.. make sure later he understands every word!!!

[vikes51349]

Awesome that another generation will remember what our forefathers have done for us great job and great kid you should be proud.

[koopmanjl]

Wow. That is pretty impressive. Is this kid really 2?

[orthanus]

Very patriotic for a 2 year old, all you need now is to give him a gun and send him to Iraq to shoot British soldiers...I mean terrorist.

But yeah, even as a Brit I can appreciate how good this speech is, amongst the best in history easily, good work and good choice little guy.

[BDReflet]

Very well done! That is excellent reciting for such a young fellow. Such a cute little guy...reminds me of myself about 20 years ago.

[lacyamadeusmom]

keep it up little dude. By now you should be able to memorize and recite anything edgar allen poe wrote and the jabberwocky from alice in wonderland..my girls did.

Great job!!

[familyforce5fan96]

aww he's soooo cute!!! i have ishues with memorizing this...(well the very end i still cant learn lol) but... AWW!!

[jenluvbro]

cool!. hahaha.

[biukucanoe]

[L1L3ric]

[JGAnimationStudios]

damn...I'm in 8th grade and they just now decided it fitting and proper for us to learn it right now and i have to present it tomorrow and memorization is only 5 out of 30 points of my grade..im soooo screwed.

[jackwasjmansk8r]
