Barack Obama - 2004 Democratic Convention Keynote (2/2)

[Imgonnametalyou]

He wasn't as good at reading from a teleprompter back then.

[BlackRepublican2010]

"That is the true genius of America, a faith -- a faith in simple dreams, an insistence on small miracles" Way to play up the greatness of the most exceptional nation in the history of the world. Not only do your speeches show how much of a eurocrat elitist you are, but they show how little faith President Obama has in the USA.

[bipinnagarale]

Oxford University Has Published A Book "THE MAKERS OF THE UNIVERSE", In Which They Have Enlisted 100 People Who Gave Remarkable Contribution To The World Over The Period Of 10,000 Years, Which Is Admired By The Entire UNIVERSE.

Namo Buddha! Jai Bhim!!

[customstratguy]

In fact, why don`t all you lame ass socialist / communist democrats living on section 8, get the fuck out of my country, and take this prick with you !!!!!

[customstratguy]

This prick is done!!!!! Fucking socialist , destroying this country... Destroying Capitalism... Wake up people.. .Democrat = Wellfare state Socialist Parasite Communist !!! They all gotta go !!!

[TheMasterFISTER]

The first failure of Obama's campaign support. If any democrat were smart, they would tell Obama no thanks during the election season.

[mrboombastic60]

Amazing video, I remember watching it 6 years ago and thinking I wish somebody like this would run for President, rather than Kerry at the time. This speech has to be considered one of the most pivotal moments in recent history in changing America.

[customstratguy]

Fucking SOCIALIST PARASITE !!!

[Person1036]

@customstratguy I wish Obama was Socialist. You must remember customstratguy, that when you mean Socialist, you mean Communist. I saw a poll a few months before the election say only 50% of Americans actually prefer capitalism over socialism. Do you even KNOW what socialism is? It's like a watered-down version of Communism.

[Sweepersuckscock]

@customstratguy=Bitch

[customstratguy]

ANOTHER POLITICAL PARASITE !!! SOCIALIST GETTO PIG !!! Wake up america...

[stingforever20]

[lamrof]

Go get laid man. You sound like you are sex starved. You put your leg real wide and spread your ass cheeks and I will get you a real donkey size one to enter your pooper. Hahahaha...

[unoder]

he's a demon, yet you're the one threatening to kill people.

lmao

[keyse8484]

shorty go kill your self he is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STAES OF AMERICA . and he will be much better president than the moran who was in the white house last 8 years

[shorty93610]

Obama, knows he is not natural born as he knows where he was born and he knows he was legally adopted/acknowledged in Indonesia; is an attorney, Harvard Law head of the Law Review and graduate who taught Constitutional law; knows the Obama candidacy is the biggest hoax attempted on the citizens of the United States in over 200 years; places our Constitution in a crisis situation; and Obama is in a situation where he can be blackmailed by leaders around the world.

[Brianbays]

you added this before he ran for prez, your one of the original fans

[ajacksb]

Our freedom song for Bush's 8 years of dark slapstick. It's cold on Christmas eve and who knows what our country will be like in the next year, but President Obama has given me a little bit of hope that things may turn out alright.

[gg4465a]

"The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him too."

[PMartin413]

Hope has won over fear. love over hate.

[brando4ever7]

The only proplem is that he's friends with an unrepentent terorist. WHATCH FOX NEWS!

Mcain - Palin!

[dscroggs4]

The so called unrepentent terrorist you refer to is a now a highly regarded College Professor...and has also been named Citizen of the year...i don't condone his actions.... but he was a radical in the 60's against a war that 80% of the population opposed.... don't fall for the smears... don't be afraid to hope and believe in the country... Obama can unite this country and Change this world

OBAMA 08

[hankychinaski]

youre the best!!! lol... watch fox!!!

[ak260]

"WHATCH FOX NEWS!

Mcain - Palin!"

does anything really need to be said in response here?

that quote speaks VOLUMES

[JayPull85]

He is coming out with a new book!!!

The Audacity of "A lying Sack of Shit Socialist"

[foxilocks2007]

He's gotten much better with the teleprompter...he's really grown into an amazing politician.

OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!!

[sox589]

I'd always heard this was an amazing speech but I never had a chance to watch it until now.  I am in awe.

[ilalfisto]

Please don't "thumb down" comments.

YouTube policy hides them after 5, and if we value free speech they should remain, even the offensive ones!

[azndude108]

lets stop argueing k, nobodies gonna change thier mind.

it was, it is a great speech. nobody can deny that.

[possiblyJB]

makes me cry everytime...

[ApeWithBone]

Great speech though. It hit all the issues and it was delivered beautifully.

[ApeWithBone]

In 2004 I had a public speaking teacher who made us watch this speech in class. I remember thinking, "Barack Obama?? That's a silly name."

[glddraco]

an interesting name but one of the most beautiful speakers I've ever heard.

[bluegirlbb]

These are the values of our founders and every American who ever deserved the name. This is what our country is meant to be and do. This is what the GOP elite who profit off the deaths of our soldiers are afraid of- that Americans will "feel the same energy," "urgency", "passion" and "hopefulness" of Barack Obama, resurrect our national values and resume our place as the real leader of freedom in the world. Obama for President!

[bluecamaro98]

Marxist political coalition

Endorsed Barack Obama for Illinois state senate seat in 1996

New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials -- most often Democrats..

Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and ACORN. The party's Chicago chapter included ,the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members obama his start

[RadioRahiem03]

I remeber the speech, I was there. The energy in the hall was thick with passion, now in 08 this is the moment, now is the time to remember how great America was, and can be again. Feel the passion of a greater hope. Now is the time to move forward...Now we have a chance.

[Herse182]

This speech is absolutely AMAZING and INSPIRING!

The only sad thing is, many of the issues he spoke of are the same issues we are facing today thanks to Dumbya.

Obama 2008

[moviejay18]

I decided that night that if he ever ran for president, I would support Barack Obama. He said more truth and showed more common sense in this speech than most politicians do in a lifetime.

[ljham8]

BRPIPING... how do you get that stuff you just spewed out of watching this video??? Are you that far behind the information curve? What's scary is that people can live in fear and ignorance even when there is cover after cover of magazines and articles with everything this man believes and has a passion for. He is charasmatic but he isn't deceptive (you say slick). He operates from a place of passion for things to be better for everyone, including you, not from a place of power and greed.

[smartcookie76]

Amazing. Simply amazing.

God bless you Barack.

Obama '08

[johnnyTav]

Tell your Mccain/undecided friends to watch!

[DerekTheComic]

Best political speech in over forty years. Hands down.

[hieudo1]

He's pretty darn solid to his words. He keeps his core beliefs with him over the years. Like the Iraq war.

[semios]

This must be my third time watching this speech, and it's just incredible. It brings tingles to my spine and it nearly brings me to tears.

[Myfivebucks]

i'm proud of you barack

[sealthedj]

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

[70tee]

we need this man to be our president.

[bezerkfurp]

I just got in some of the biggest debates with people i know about barack over mccain. we need to keep campaigning for barack! lets get to work. its all about ur values.

[armand83]

Fucking Amazing!

[maybeee]

"we are one people. all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripe"

this guy is great. im not an american, but i can feel the love and pride he holds for his country. obama is the only hope we have for america. for the world

[michaelcox11]

Thank God he made this speech so people across the country could see his potential. OBABMA 08!!!

[Dres9711]

agreed.... this guy is amazing

[Auragirl86]

God, this speech was INCREDIBLE! It would be a shame if he was not elected to be the next President.

[Inverba]

Amazing! Barack, is a true inspiration.

"Looking back at Kennedy, his success, his most important quality was judgment. Obama has judgment," Sorensen said. "More than any other president since Kennedy, Obama's lived abroad and knows how other countries see the United States." - Mr. Sorenson top speechwriter for President Kennedy.

Obama '08! Yes We Can!

[wellwhatevr22]

They asked him at Google just as a joke 'what would be the best way to sort a huge array'...

And as Obama took a second, the audience started laughing, and the questioner said 'haha..sorry...just a joke' or something like that..

Barack said 'No...No...Bubble sort wouldn't be the way to go'.

I WAS AMAZED. The Bubble Sort is a terrible algorithm for sorting large datasets. Obama knew that. That blew me away!

[wunderbeast]

In a recent town hall meeting in Indiana, a young man said that he was from South Korea. Before he proceeded to ask his question, Obama said "Anyungasaeyo(spelling/pronunc­iation? I'm Chinese-American)" He really does seem like a very international man who can make references at comp. sci. algorithms as well as appreciating other cultures.

[ns0710]

I saw this! He greeted the man in Korean, and the young man responded affirmatively. Truly an intelligent and ethnically diverse and understanding President

[jackbychoice]

I remember seeing this speech back in '04 and thinking, "Why isn't this guy our nominee?"

[notarypublic]

thank you

dammm this man is so gifted

Go obama 2008

[beteck123]

This speech till today is still very powerfull.

[AddisuLij]

America's best kept secret Obama, an amazing human talent and pure genious!

[TehRahk]

AMAZING SPEECH!

Did anyone notice all the people in the crowd in tears.

[sweeney2419]

same as elkimmett. I saw him and said that he should be our next president.

[soaringquail2]

anyone remember that part from ferris bueller where sloane says "he's gonna marry me!"...

Obama's gonna be our president!

[AmericanRuffian]

Hillary was on the sidelines going, "that should be me, I should be giving the keynote address!". ha! ha! LOL! Get used to it Hillary. PRESIDENT Obama! Hillary for Ambassador to Uzbekestan!

[celach]

LOL!!

[samsutube09]

lol. That was so funny... Uzbekestan.

[dreamdewil]

Man, this guy realy has the talent for making speaches.

[elkimmett]

I remember watching this when it originally aired in 04, and I thought to myself that if this country had its first black president it should be this man. Obama, Obama, Obama.

[samsutube09]

America is a great nation... people can see his qualities. But some will not want to vote for him. Why? Because he's Black? Poor judgement.

[TheMasterFISTER]

@elkimmett Happy Now? What until 2012 when America send him back to the Chicago ghettos.
