John McCain Speech Potomac Primary Night

[reniam]

Not sure who to vote for yet but, McCain does have a point. Obama has to stop talking in platitudes. His overuse of "hope" and "change" are starting to sound overly cliché and naive. The young are most easily swayed by platitudes because they seem fresh and original to them.

[TheRedFear]

Obama supporters are scared of John McCain cuz they know Obama's independant support is gonna get tired of his vague, empty promises and switch back to McCain by election time.

Independants always decide who the president will be.

[pbilger]

Sorry but Indpendants isn't going to vote for McCain. He has nothing but talk the double talk. Flip flop on every issue but the backing of the illegal war in Iraq.

[TheRedFear]

Keep telling yourself that right up until Inauguration night.

If you say it enough maybe you'll finally stop beleiving your lying eyes

[pbilger]

I guess you are a Rep's that turning out in for Obama. Rep's are split or don't you know that.  On the God-O-Meter Obama is the right choice.

[densor05390]

Seriously, if i hear him say "my friends" again, I am going freak out.

[frenchdel]

I think John McCain stole not only this speech, but the tone of the speech from the movie My Fellow Americans...almost WORD FOR WORD!

[johnkerry7]

Are Obama supporters so affraid of McCain that they have to spam a video thats about McCain??? LoL silly "yes we can" people

[BlooBeluga]

he speaks like he doesn't believe a word he's saying

[DANTHETUBEMAN]

The collapse of the economy is the feds fault for printing the money out of thin air, the congresses fault for spending the money the executive branch for going to unnecessary war that we cant afford, and the legislative branch for not enforcing the law of the land THE CONSTITUTION! You though you all new better than our founding fathers DIDENT YOU?  The root of the problem is imbalance in our government. RON PAUL

[Sims2789]

Good speechwriter, bad speaker.

[veej309]

its too bad mccain wasn't the republican nominee in 2000; we may have caught bin laden if we had a "troop surge" from the get go

[z8it]

Obama , Clinton, and McCain are CFR members and the ALL subsCribe to the agenda of the NORTH AMERICAN UNION; open borders , a global currency, and disolving National soveriegty.

The last hope for this Nation (as we've known it) is Dr. Paul.

We're toast.

So just sit back; and watch the PUPPET show.

[dollaresque]

Well, other than Paul, I think Obama would be worse for the "global agenda" than Hillary or Mccain, and so he may even be attacked or killed for that by the men behind the curtain. They need wars to take make money & take civil liberties away, destroy our constitution, set global agenda, etc. Obama's def against war(s) and has been a civil lib lawyer & constitutional law scholar/prof. CFR membership sucks, but I'm assuming most those in gov & foreign policy have such default membership anyway.

[Sims2789]

I usually don't have trouble guessing, but do you support Lyndon LaRouche or Ron Paul?

[perfumouni]

Mike is the only one that can beat Obama. Mac can't go up against a guy who is in his 40's, great speaker and is outside of Washington. Waht is the GOP doing-commiting suicide?

[spliffsperlunk]

Before the elections are over people will be begging for Ron Paul.

not the idiots who support mcCain though

[bojan78]

I am not your "friend" because you are a traitor.

[move2montana]

RomneY anounces he is supporting Cane.If you did not really know what side of the fence he was on,you do now.Not that its makes a differance now,but this slimebag might come up in the future,So,Remember where he stands.

[StepUPNJ]

"My hope for our country" is that this war mongering madman is not elected President.

[kamajiboy]

Obama movement is like the one in the 60's - drunks, druggies, and hippies coming together for no purpose but to sing kumbya

[AlyoshaKaramazov]

he's reading from a teleprompter.

God help us all.

[Snicker75]

I think I could have farted through a microphone with bad feedback and delivered a better speech.

[pobasted]

Blah, blah, blah, vote for me because I was tortured in an illegal war.

[glory789]

Obama's speech was 100,000 times better. I cant wait until Barack Obama debates this neo-con in the fall.

[johnkerry7]

Very great speech. And im a Democrat :)

America does not need empty words from Obama!!!!!

[dollaresque]

Empty words from Obama? Dude, we don't need empty Dems like you. Obama is a movement, not a person anymore. Open your eyes, look around the world. Europe is swept in an Obama-mania, and both the left & the right in Europe are hoping for Obama as it will - according to European polls & newspapers - instantly change Europe's attitude towards the US for the better! So let's not attack Obama for simply being the change we need now. And as a Dem, u should't put down our front-runner on McCain's vid!

[johnkerry7]

If Obama is this big "movement" how come he only gets about 47% in most polls against republicans??? if the was this "movement" then wouldnt he be getting like 60%+????? No my friend, he is not as big a "movement" as you might think. And its because im a Dem that isnt going to support Obama i have every right to tell the truth about him on Mcains vid (the man i will support if Obama is nominated)

[dollaresque]

Polls change everyday, but in national polls from CNN & other major networks I saw Hillary beating McCain 50% to 47% while Obama beating McCain 57% to 42%. So stuff changes all the time & I think Obama's momentum & supporter inspiration is more indicative of a movement than day-to-day polls. Still, I don't understand how old Republican who loves war & now trying to get conservatives to support him (thus changing his views for worse)-how would such guy be better than smart new inspiring Democrat?

[ktcat1]

Great speech. Go McCain!

[yawehorthehighway]

Rhetoric is all that comes out of this guys mouth. Every other sentence has "fight", "war".."they will give their lives". Puppet of the military industrial complex. Is it me or have his eyes gone more black in recent years.He's different in alot of ways, I'm not talking about him "flip-flopping. Maybe he drank too much of "the kool-aid".

[duba3988]

This is the worst candidate I have ever fucking seen... What the fuck is with the republican voters.

[atlg8or6137]

Obama will destroy this clown in November.

[oldbaldy129]

McCain gives the worst speech. This is the best Republicans can come up with!? How sad.

[patitotigre]

Obama = Uncertainty

This is not a time for uncertainty.

[Boosted427]

hmmm vote for the right and we will certinaly get more of the same 3 unfortunate reason I simply cannot vote republican ann coulter rush limbauh bill orielly these 3 people are in human

[patitotigre]

Coulter, Limbaugh and O'reilly?

First of all, I am not voting for them. If you haven't heard, they are not running for office.

Secondly, what's wrong with solid family values, open markets and a strong and proud military? These so called "right" principles have kept our nation on top for generations.

Lastly, go back and get your GED. You'll be amazed at what an education can do for people.

[Boosted427]

your so called "right" good values are smoke and mirrors they might say that but they them selves dont follow there own good values look at the foot tapper in the mens room the list of examples is long Coulter, Limbaugh and O'reilly are the public face of the right party like it or not they are lastly open your eyes youve been lied to

[glory789]

How is he uncertainty? You Clinton supporters will say anything.

[johnkerry7]

im a Democrat, and i will NOT vote for Obama. Good speeches are one thing, but they are empty words when backed up with NOTHING!!!

[Boosted427]

hmmmm what did ya think of bush?

[turbotrauma]

McCain is a total moron, I can't believe he's made it so far. I swear man, Ron Paul or Huckabee would be 100x better than this old bleached sock puppet. What a loser, he doesn't even understand basic economics.

McCain is a fool... a FOOL.

[jiveturrky55]

Any of you guys serve 5 years as POW in Vietnam under the worst circumstances imaginable? Did you forfeit your free ride home? You should not elect him on that but you can at least have some respect.

You are right about the economic comment!

Fox and CNN will determine who gets elected this time around!

[turbotrauma]

jiveturrky55 - God bless McCain for his service, but God FORBID him from running our nation. I understand your point, but unfortunately McCain is a pro-war freakshow that we don't need.

My dad is a Vietnam hero and I wouldn't elect him either :)

[iueue]

McCain says that if Congress eliminates the Death Tax Americans will be more in favor of his War in Iraq because Widows of dead soldiers will be able to buy country estates and yachts from the untaxed stock portfolios they inherit from their husbands.

[3456ws]

Rightly so, mattyankees, The media gave us the worst 2 democrats of the bunch. If McCain gets close enough for the neocons to steal another one, we will be very pissed. I don't know what will happen. Waiting for the media to say something is a long wait, though.

[mattyankees12]

just think of how bitter all the youtube generation is going to be when Obama doesn't win.

[georgio316]

I would love to see that. I think Obama is more hype then substance.

[glory789]

Obama has substance. More than McCain has. John McCain has to read a book by Alan Greenspan to understand the economy and he wants to be President?

[georgio316]

I dont support McCain. I just think that our options for president arent very good.

[WadeBlazingame34]

Mattyankees12: Bitter?  You mean like when the Yankees choked in 2004?

OBAMA 2008!

[livefreeordie1970]

The second you talk about the fed and money you are instantly censored by the media.

[vigilance77]

It don't matter what you believe McCain; the last Republican administration didn't do shit for the American people, but spread fear, war and high prices on everything! If another Republican like you gets in , I'll move to Canada!! Plus, you can't make speeches; you sound lame as hell, and you're too old!!

[Raul48819]

He is a war hero but he is not smart enough to be  President.

When he was asked a question regarding Federal Reseverv policy on interest rates, he replied,

"Well, I don't really understand interest rates. I wish interest rates were 0%".

[TECHKLEC]

Unfortunatly, I would have to agree with you...then, what choices do we have? We might be in big trouble!

[vigilance77]

Raul, it's questionable how much a hero McCain was. Ask Viet Nam Vets against McCain.

[vigilance77]

Raul, I think one thing Ron Paul should've done was keep a little more quiet about the Fed and the money thing...most people do not understand that stuff; it's beyond them. He could've waited to reform the money system until he made it to office. But for sure the major media didn't help to promote him much.

[ambroulard]

He's a lousy candidate- clueless regarding economics and possibly suffering from alzheimers (sp?)-- I'm a democrat but if Ron Paul would have come to the fore I could see myself voting for him. As it stands now Obama is the man I hope-- I can't stand Hillary.

[georgio316]

Obama doesnt know economics.

[WadeBlazingame34]

Despite this speech by Maverick, it's OK to feel good again. (The picture of Mac's sweaty, armpit hug of George W. Bush says it all...)

BARACK OBAMA 2008! ALL ABOARD!! (There's room for EVERYONE on this train...)

[vigilance77]

I'm with ya, Wade!!

[j0hnwi11iams]

"Might makes Right" - McCain.

[okorewq]

Oh wow, Change is coming even to the Republicans. McCain is also FIRED UP AND READY TO GO. He's also going to BARACK THE VOTE.

[TormentedByDemons]

Too tough to die.

[LastExyle]

Used car salesman.

[PolishedLake]

Ron Paul is a greater speechmaker than this guy.. Paul has won every single republican debate, also.

however, Obama is better still!

[TormentedByDemons]

Right. Ron Paul could lecture Kim Jong Il about North Korea's lack of fiscal responsibility and disregard for the Constitution.

[spzoey]

True Obama is a much superior motivational speaker than Ron Paul is but I fear his voice alone may not be loud enough to wake up Washington from it's slumber.

[spzoey]

Supporters of Ron Paul, and not just the ones that show up at rallies(as with all other candidates)conveniently located within their towns but also those willing to go the distance and march on to Washington and make their presence known and prove that we're not just statistics behind our tvs, our internets, as the dark shadow of corporate media giants who falsely represent us and mislead us every second lost in vain. Let them be Entertained, they say, AND THEY SHALL LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

[cookieman591]

haha wow McCain buddy your a joke

have fun trying to debate with obama. GOOD LUCK.

your a good guy in all.

but you would never help the country as president

[graspingbeauty]

Stop saying "my friends". I'm not your friend.

The debates between this guy and Obama are going to be hilarious. Talk about a stark contrast.

I can't wait.

[nbwulf]

Do you think he surrounds himself with older folks on that stage to make himself seem not so Jurassic?

[cousinNACHO]

Great speech Mr McCain... for me to poop on!

[schizerbone]

hahaha

[riseingstuff]

I like his approach but I dont think we as Americans will fall for it. (My friends) The rhythm of his voice is caring attractive and points to relate to one people. We're better than that vote Obama

[ZININATOR]

rofl at "fired up and ready to go"

biter.

[Riauw]

Every time I see this guy speak I'm happy because Ron Paul is going out the door.

[WadeBlazingame34]

How exciting! What a rousing speech! You tell 'em, slugger! My friends, "it's not a promise of hope, it's a platitude..." (2:53). What a killer applause line. It's the platitudes, stupid!

Wow. Anyone up for some shuffleboard, or for practicing your golf-clap? I know I'm fired up and ready to go!

[sjsc76]

How long has this guy been in Washington?

[TormentedByDemons]

He's been in politics for 25 years. Mostly Arizona. Doesn't like Washington. Turned down VP slot for George H.W. Bush and John Kerry. Wanted by both sides. Likes red meat.

[sjsc76]

Thanks

[summerseve]

Weak. I'm surprised he's playing defense against Obama already - not a good sign for him.

[Sinistertino]

if government doesn't have the answers just outsource it ... you know like blackwater,

[jclayton59466]

At least he is not as bad a speaker as Bush.

Wish we could have gotten Ron Paul into office. Oh well. If you want this job you gotta know how to pay lipservice. Well honest men don't do that. Thus we will never have another honest president.

[RoyalKrush]

No thanks McCrazy.... Obama!!!

[grasshopper3830]

obama!!!

[CynicalSavior]

Wait, wait..... we send you to "Warshington" to do our business?

Then how about you face the fact that 75% of "the People" you serve want us to get the fuck out of Iraq.

[CynicalSavior]

sorry, that was not supposed to be a reply to you.

[CynicalSavior]

Wait, wait..... we send you to "Warshington" to do our business?

Then how about you face the fact that 75% of "the People" you serve want us to get the fuck out of Iraq.

[08551]

obama!!!
