Barack Obama Town Hall in Albuquerque, New Mexico

[tworag]

Obama is the best thing to happen to our country in eight years.

I cant believe youtube is screening our comments for obama here. is youtube anti-obama?

[ChubbRockforobama]

Economic empowerment + New Direction = Obama

[diverseintelligence]

First Point: I am an Obama supporter.

Second Point: McCain clearly was joking when he made that statement, and shortly after he said that, quickly followed up by saying something to the likes of, "that'll probably be distorted." I find it unfortunate that Barack Obama would misrepresent the rhetoric in which we know was not intended to be considered a serious answer.

Again, I support Barack Obama and believe the country should also. VOTE OBAMA!

[Trastlol]

He said "I probably will have to eat that up."

[cupocity303]

If you support him then why say that?

The man is trying to win a campaign. Mud is being slinged his way and it's working so he is fighting back unstead of sitting back playing the good guy.

Campaign tactics......nothing else to it.

I disagree. John Mccain has said a lot of things that are just being completely ignored by the media, and Obama's campaign. All I can say that if Mccain wins, he will try to do everything that he said he would do. Dont look back and say oh I thought he was joking. This election is not a game.

[Profficer1979]

You know, I see your point. But here is how I see it: The first time Sen. Obama mentioned the 5 million dollar answer he acknowledged it was a joke. I think his overarching point is that even though John Mccain was joking his policies are actually consistent with the joke/answer because he wants to give tax breaks to the wealthiest americans.

[BOOMBAP2]

McCain=WAR

[dziffybaby]

why just 40 sec. we want the whole speech Goddammnit. God am so scared. this rep r just doing the same old dirty politcs. obama america and the whole world is praying for u.

[aros1985]

Yep, we want the full town hall.

We don't want a teaser trailer, we want to see the whole smackdown!

[macman851]

Before everyone starts with the "McCain wasn't serious when he said $5 Million..." comments, you have to answer, "Why would he joke about that?" Why can't we have the answer? Obama gave a clear concise range, between $150,000 and $250,000 and you're living pretty comfortably, based on your region.

That's the answer he gave. That's what we have to go on. If he doesn't like it, give us the real number he thinks constitutes as 'rich' and stop joking around. People are seriously hurting.

bad mic

[tygerbrite]

Yes, people want to see whole speeches, since none of the networks, not even C-Span, are covering them. People send these around to their undecided friends and relatives.

[TheGlassPriest]

No politician is a true Christian but Obama's definitely closer to the principles of Christ. Jesus NEVER justified war (Iraq). Jesus taught us to ditch earthly BS and help those in need (high tax for social benefits). Jesus said we "canNOT serve God and wealth" (tax-cuts for rich). Jesus said "love those that hate you" (then why are killing people for oil and "our rights") It's sad that those who claim to be the "Christian authority" (Conservative.Rep.) have other motives than serving Christ.

[Himechansexytightass]

You know, I think youtube is overburdened with the comments. I keep on seeing my comments under someone else's name and listed as only having one comment when there is at least five.

[poopsmudge]

...

hopefully for Obama's sake he is smart enough not to get baited in the presedential debates. Specifically his ego every scholar carries. If he gets ahead of himself we could be seeing Dingle Norwood 2.

[Rockkkstarr]

McCain is politics from the past, lets look toward the future!

VOTE OBAMA 08!

[politicalfarce]

Obama volunteer who's job it is to approve these comments: Could you please tell your boss that we would like to see FULL CLIPS of Obama's stump speeches and not just 40 sec soundbites?

Thank you.

[tigerakabj]

40 sec? I wanna hear more of Barack tearing McCain a new one. Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012!!

[SNXX2]

agree! we want more.

Obama '08

[Himechansexytightass]

First off, that was pretty damn short.

And who the hell is Sebelius?

[politicalfarce]

hime chan, Sebelius is the governor of Kansas, and a possible VP. Although unlikely in my opinion.
