TPMtv in Chicago: Obama Victory Speech Reaction

[killerbeau95]

You people do not realize that Obama is the same as Bush they are a part of the same group and Obama says one thing and does another but, you people are caught up in the emotions and don't realize it!

Example: Obama said that he will remove the troops from Iraq immediately? What did he do? He changed it too a 4 month plan then to a 12 month plan then to a 22 month plan? Now he wants to send 55,000 more troops to Afghanistan?

Is this the change that he said he would give you? Probably NOT!

[DAZZLERILLUSIO]

What incredibly intelligent blogging

So worth the read!

[JimmyFormerMarine]

"It is Sunday, five days **after** the election and in just about every other post, the persons posting are doing so as if they are still campaigning for their candidate .. many are still pointing fingers .."

Isn't that what Democrats did for eight years?

[theshowpodcastdotcom]

g video the esoteric agenda

[milkgodnl]

It is Sunday, five days **after** the election and in just about every other post, the persons posting are doing so as if they are still campaigning for their candidate .. many are still pointing fingers ..

Get over it!

[Signal337]

This is un-believable. Sarah Palin, The Governor Of Alaska wanting to become the Vice President Of the United States Of America.

"Nothing from nothing leads nothing". Sarah Palin is nothing." Has Governor Palin been drinking cocktails with Monica Lewinsky? The National Republican Party should be the "Fall Guy" for this. The Republican Conservatives are stuck in a "Political Elevator". Sarah Palin has played Political "footsie" with too many G.O.P. Conservative Males.

So much for Mavericks.

[rybpo7]

dude. nice commentary, but do you have a cold or something? it was gross to hear you sniffing like that. it felt like we were in your nose. if you are/were sick, get well soon! yeah obama!!!

[queensarah34]

Reagan was a fool like the rest of them. Its funny how the people that don't own a big buisness or have an island with oil on it, always wanna vote republican and they r 1 paycheck away from a soup line.

[BonbonDoux24]

35g700 IS A LOOSER!!!

Where have you been all these years....?

You're utterly lost and before talkin you should seriously check your story out... The States would have been a much better place without Bush around...

[Gershlack]

wtf, he is comparing Obama's speech to slaying a dragon... lol?

[cbrowncolors]

I totally agree with what he said even though that did not cross my mind in retrospect and in rewatching the speech I totally agree and I think Obama really put it well.

[goodpoor1234]

Another four years will be wasted! He already chosen unqualified black people for his cabinet!!!Damn!!

[moegolden]

I'm glad the speech was so serious. It needed to be to set the tone for someone who will be President to all Americans rather than simply those who voted for him.

[Player5813]

Obama will never survive to January 20th. He'll probably be killed by a drive-by shooting like all other African-Americans.

[BoomSelekta]

I hope your mother is killed by a drive-by shooting.

[oldhacks]

People have been talking about black people like they're children all day today. So What. Of course a black man can become president. He's just another crook. He's using Clinton's economic adviser who repealed the Glass Steagall act and caused the mess on wall street. He's worked for CITIGROUP for 40,000,000 a year for the last 8 years. HE WORKS FOR THE BANKS. and he's gonna fix the Banks? RIIIIGHT. Wake up people.

[broadbent48]

3.40 minutes to say nothing.

you spent more time saying how the speech felt than telling us what was in the speech.

geeezzzz.

[Melissa230984]

Trnidad loves you Obama...

[graylight99]

This wasn't just an African American victory, it was an American victory. And we are all proud!

[thudor1]

@graylight99 Thank you!! With everything that's going on now I felt the need to return to this night, if only for a fleeting moment, a year and a half ago. Next up, I'll watch Beyonce serenade the new First Couple at the Inaugural Neighborhood Ball. How about you? How are YOU coping?

[neekz666]

Canada is with you!

[UnderstandHim]

he would never ...he's too professional.

[goodpoor1234]

To Musicteachjw....You're such an ignorant human being or animal! Why dont you do some research about Birth Certificate of Obama so you will find out the truth about his citizenship!!!

[Lucem2]

They needed to play down expectations.

But cmon at least some firewoks would have been nice.

The Democratic Convention was more jubilant.

The important thing is that the better candidate won.

I can honestly say the US have, once again reinvented itself. !!

[betterversionn]

you should try to defame people without any facts. he didn't seem like he'd done coke at all, and i can pick'm out as well.

[limenana]

Why continue to pay attention to ignorant people such as goodport. People in the United States are so over the hate...and we should it last night....Now let's show the world we are still that great super power....LET BRING OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE DEAD TOGETHER!!!!!

[surferelf]

Yes, David Kurtz.

The good feelings of winning.

Also, the acknowledgement of historic challenges ahead.

He is a good coach. We need that.

[goodpoor1234]

I agreed with Obama's speech, everything is possible in United States....he's right..why?

see he became a president of United States even he's not a citizen of this country!

[Jessica2486]

yes he is....RULE..can't be a president without being a citizen of this country! Mean..being born in the USA!

[alextheromanian]

you must be a complete IDIOT.

[dkozi077]

Ok there trailer trash, calm down, go burn a cross. Actually, i'm surprised you can type on a computer, don't you hicks stop school at grade 3 or so?

[Raghra]

Wrong. Obama was born in the United States of America and he is a citizen.

[musicteachjw]

Goodpoor - Here is a civics lesson: (1) Hawaii was a state when he was born there. Even if Hawaii was a territory (as it was for a while) he would be a citizen, just as Puerto Ricans are citizens. (2) His mother was a U.S. Citizen. If your parent(s) are U.S. citizens, you are too. (3) BTW - McCain was born in Panama. Are you going to try to say that he is not a U.S. Citizen.

[goodpoor1234]

To Musicteachjw....You're such an ignorant human being or animal! Why dont you do some research about Birth Certificate of Obama so you will find out the truth about his citizenship!!!

[jdkbj]

A show of respect for the problems we are facing in not going too over the top is in my opionion the right way to celebrate the victory. Obama doesn't act like a party guy. He is a very serious political mind. He is probably anxious to get work on the problems we face. He isn't a SNL comic but a deep individual that understands the importance of the job at hand... President....leader.....respon­sibility.

[NosBlaster]

ahh poor reporter guy so sick...get well soon bro. oh btw. OBAMA ROX!!

[armilecj]

ummmm... i thought that conservatives thought it was unpatriotic to be criticizing the president(elect) in a time of crisis...i cant wait to hear their justification...

[Deepstarr7020]

Good Point.

[zombiesoiree]

I love how right wingers are frothing at the mouth with these facile warnings of doom and gloom. Meanwhile, the US stock market is skyrocketing due to increased global confidence in our future leadership.

[mikebat07943]

long live obama

[zeozionistic]

lmao stupid redneck

[klote2314]

lmfao they already tried to but they got arrested before even buying the gun to kill him with

sorry to dissapoint you change is going to be a great thing

[clarenceg20]

I wish people like you ceased to exist. But your the reason his victory is so sweet, so i thank you.

[jimbobob1983]

deadly32:( You had your chance to be patriotic when Bush was in power and it near bankrupted the nation!! Unfortunately, you didn't make the right choice at that time. The American people have spoken and want change. NO MORE BUSH AND NO MORE DUMB BUSH POLICIES. NO MORE WARS!! NO MORE RACE OR OIL WARS!! Americans have moved on and finally America has a real leader!! One who can unite the states and free the people from the burdens of the past! GO OBAMA!! YES, WE CAN!!

[mennella2000]

Obama won, get over it or kill yourselves?

[Winkapot]

I'd just like to mention that President Obama didn't win because he was a charming black man, he won because Americans needed the change he plans to bring into our lives. Thank you America, you did us all a great favor by voting this great man into the White House. Long live the President of the United States!

[Winkapot]

Dude, in 1992 there were no threats of imminent economic downfall, no 700 billion dollar bailout and at least very minimal government debt. Obama's speech was the bomb, it was the best speech I've ever watched. It sent shivers down my spine.

[WV24985]

We're screwed...See ya on the cheese line.

[2004JETTA]

yea boy President Obama I like the sound of that

[MooseOfReason]

David looks exhausted.

What was the temperature there?

[thehoaxbuster]

I would have voted McCain but I'm sure Obama will do fine.

[laesperanzapaz]

bitter tears from angry mccain twats

tears of joy from reporter

lawl yeah baby!!!

[HryMuscle]

Looks more like allergies to me.

[kyu012]

Did you cry your eyes out before you reported this?

[commercial09]

lol to late for that were have you been the last 8 years

[legalass17]

Somber, yes. Warm fuzzy feeling. A ray of hope for our future. I had tears in my eyes.

[rfijgtijgrtjgiojtijg]

oh...shut the fuck up..

go fuck urself or a family member

[hellshade2]

maybe there really is a god because he listened when i told him to send palin back to alaska today :P

[shafiqueps]

lol! yeah! you are darned right!

[nevous8]

I thought it was the redneck republicans who fuck their cousins? Like the ones who can't read or write. Like you.

[tuor1984]

hahahah

[rfijgtijgrtjgiojtijg]

yah..well..u need to fuck off..

dumbass....

go...idk..go fuck urself..then..tell me how it goes!

[PersonalJesus348]

My heart goes out to the black community. You did it! You guys did it! And we're not done

[35g700]

Well America is done, obama is going to be the worst president in history.

[flang]

Cuz Bush is just so easy to beat in that category

[PersonalJesus348]

if we don't take advantage of this opportunity he will.

We'll have to campaign ourselves to get him to change this nation. But he will with the right persuasion.

Men like Bush and McCain will not.

[Airsoftcleaner]

That was bush Dickweed!!!!

[watchjazz]

OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAA

-this is such an wonderful moment in history

God Bless Obama!!!

[eggnoggerino]

I wanna see if you look as good as her ... and who did you like - Pickles Bush? Cindy "Alien" McCain??? Get outta here ...

[Alikchi]

You look SPENT, Mr Kurtz. Time to sleep for about 16 hours.

[jaim12005]

PRESIDENT -Barak 'Hussein' Obama

We have all witnessed history. I am so prud to be an American now more then ever!

We the people have a voice and it was heard.

The GOP needs to recognize change and stfu about the fear and faith tactics...

Change is here!

OBAMA won..WE WON!

[loveforeignaccents]

CONGRATULATIONS, BARACK & JOE!!!!!!

You've earned it!!

I am looking forward to the next four -- and hopefully eight -- years with you leading our country in the right direction!!

[35g700]

hopefully he will get impeached sooner rather then later.

[tuor1984]

Hahaha your kind is a thing of the past. Either get with the times and let go of your prejudices, or simply get left behind like all those like you.

[man95000]

You think I didn't vote for Obama because of race? if you weren't an idiot you would know the only reason he won WAS because he was black, that and his charisma and that's it.

[blastmbs]

lol ok...what about him bringing ideas that people has been waiting for?!:P I'm not from US, but I know that everybody I know would have voted for him, and it's only because of his vision of change...changes we've been waiting to see forever in the US. And if u listen to speech from people that voted for him, they pretty much all have the same reasons than that.

[Ansonidak]

"if you weren't an idiot you would know the only reason he won WAS because he was black, that and his charisma and that's it." That's ridiculous. If the democratic nominee had been a white man with the same policies and talking points as Obama the election would have been the biggest landslide ever.

[35g700]

Well hopefully he will not be in office for very long at least, we need a decent president not a joke one like Obama.

[BoomSelekta]

Barack Obama is your president, eat a dick.

You want a joke, look at McCain the flip flopper and Palin the stupid beauty pageant bimbo.

[35g700]

Yes, it is a sad thing that Obama is president, but hopefully he will not be in for long.

Barack Obama is a socialist, which is a bad thing, also he has the middle name Hussein, there was a dictator with the last name of Hussein which probably means that his family supported Saddam Hussein. And he also his his preacher there that hates America that said "God does not bless America, God damns America" And Obama has been listing to that? Sounds like a great president to me.... Not.

[grand1337]

will you please destroy your TV and internet access as it does not do you any good?

Further I recommend to read a good encyclopedia (the wikipedia might be enough) to look up what "socialism" is, because you seem to have no idea. In addition - Hussein is an arabic name, meaning "good" or "handsome" or "beautiful". It was Saddam's surname, it's Obama's middle Name. There's no further relation. Do you know how many mass-murderers, satanists and actual socialists are named "george"? Quite a few.

[35g700]

No I will not destroy my TV and internet access because it does do me good. Obama is a socialist almost communist with his "Spreading the wealth" statement. Wealth does not need to be spread, if people don't have enough money it is entirely there fault because they are lazy and don't work.

Did you know some of our best presidents are named George? And one of them is in office right now.

[grand1337]

well then, bad news for you, it's ignorance for you.

you can't even define "socialism" properly, so why do you keep on using it? Statistically you have problems affording your (bad) healthcare and have a low income. Yet you didn't vote for obama. I don't get it. The people voting for bush (and now mccain) have suffered the most. But I guess fake christian belief is more worth your vote than somebody doing you good (BTW obama IS a CHRIST. BORN AGAIN, while McCain managed to lie about his church!)

[grand1337]

christian, not christ, typo. not enough chars left :>

[35g700]

I didn't vote for Obama because he does not know what he is doing, he has been a senator for what like 4 years. Healthcare is not an issue nor is income. Income is based entirly on how hard people work. If people don't work hard enough they should not be given extra health care/income because they are lazy.

[grand1337]

Now I've lost all my faith in you. Sorry to say.

Many american citizens have two or three jobs just to pay the bills. Don't you dare to say income is based on how hard someone works. Don't you dare to say they are lazy. YOU have NO idea about hard work.

Obama went to chicago and worked for those who suffer. You should consider doing that - it might open your eyes.

[35g700]

Well not really, if they had gone and gotten a decent education (tried in school) they would be fine, that's why I said they were lazy.

[csohali]

I hope you are a young teenager and that you will mature later on in life. You obviously don't have an understanding of the system or how it works. What makes me sad is that voters like you who cast a vote with out even knowing the facts. A vote from an uneducated citizen is worse than not even getting that vote. I'm glad not too many folks like you voted and that the right candidate swiped the states.

[35g700]

You are obviously wrong, the right candidate did not win, the wrong candidate won because McCain lost... The reason why people like Obama is because he tells people what they want to hear but people will find out he is wrong four years from now when he is done being president.

[BudnCandi]

OK...... we'll see. Can't be any worse than Bush. Matter of fact, Obama was a better choice than all but one Republican. (Ron Paul)

So spare me the BS, "The wrong guy won.". He won. Get over it. And at least give the guy a chance before you start playing the role of Nostradamus. It will save us all a headache.

[35g700]

Well, the right person was either McCain or Mitt Ramny (if that's how you spell it). Bush is the best president we have had since Regan, better then Clinton or Bush Senior.

Obama is going to get in there and realize he can't do shit.

[BudnCandi]

Bush is the best President since Reagan ?? I really hate to break to you..... but history isn't on your side. So, Bush is "great". The man that turned America into a country that tortures. The man that lead this country into a False War. The man that left New Orleans to drown. The man that STILL hasn't "smoked" Bin Laden from his cave. The man that wired taped America citizens without a warrant. The man that lead America into the worst financial mess in 78 yrs. Wow greatness has really changed.

[35g700]

How did bush lead us into a false war? America voted on it... Dumbass. He did not leave New Orleans to drown, any other president would have done the same thing, you can't control nature and blame it on the president. The reason why the economy is in such bad shape is because of Clinton giving us more trade with China which is lowering the value of a dollar. People blame shit on Bush because they don't know the facts like you.

Bush is a good president, he is just president at a bad time.

[BudnCandi]

Who's the dumb-ass ? America voted on the war ? You need to get off the pipe. I don't remember going to the ballot box and voting on a war. Anybody else ? Did I say he made a hurricane hit New Orleans ? No, I said he left them to drown. You know, "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie.". See, your BS doesn't work here moron. You are speaking to someone with an I.Q., not some stupid hay seed. Now as for facts, read a book stupid. The FACTS are on my side. Clinton had a surplus that Bush gave away

[BonbonDoux24]

Dude..You must have fucked bush in the ass..cuz you so much in love with him...He's a moron and so are you...

[35g700]

Bush was not a great president but he is not nearly as bad as Barack Obama is.

[EvanCHIcago]

Learn to spell you fool. I couldn't understand why anyone would take your comment seriously after suggesting Romney is a good contender, and still failing to spell his name wrong. Ignorant sees as ignorant does.

[1matth3w1]

u are stupid please get spamed

[35g700]

Please go suck a cock then.

Thank you.

[BoomSelekta]

You seem like a very intelligent person to me...NOT.

[Airsoftcleaner]

Oh Like Bush wasn't a total cluster fuck where have you been the last 8 years?

[tobgid2007]

cluster fuck...good choice of words, u must be a dane cook fan..nice

[CliveSinclairZX]

Beautiful speech, it was somber, and it needed to be, these next couple years will be a huge undertaking for Obama and the people of the USA. I am very happy right now for the entire world!

=)

[AnnaSmee]

This victory is more of a step up to me. This country, hopefully, will get better.

[nadreev]

troll away

[eggnoggerino]

up your's buddy. you just got fucked - and will be fucked for the next 4 years ... open wide LOSER!!

[officialusa]

Great coverage guys... cool election map at talkingpointsmemo(.)com, and spot on blogging by Josh.

Thanks!!

Good video, i like this channel, keep it up.

[HomoGeneyes]

WELCOME TO OBAMANTION

MY NAME is HARVEY MILK & IM here to RECRUIT you.

[xGirlPlay]

It was rather emotional.

[wkh19890101]

Too bad I couldn't vote because I'm not a citizen

it's okay though, I covered my friend's shift so he can go vote for Obama.

President Barack Hussein Obama :]

Yes we can!

[man95000]

fuck off socialist

[wkh19890101]

Sir, you need to calm down.

Today is a great day for America. Your comment just shows how ignorant you are and it won't bother me one bit.

Get over it, Obama is YOUR president =]

[man95000]

My nation is heading for socialism I WILL NOT STAY CALM! your comment shows how fucking stupid you are if you think obama is good for the country.

[Raghra]

If you think it's been heading there now you should be surprised to know it's been heading there for a long time. This is nothing new.

What IS new, however, is the TRULY disturbing amount of aggression of the anti-obama citizens.

You do realize what happens when one side of the country feels their existence is threatened by the other side, right?

I think you really need to calm down and accept reality.

[man95000]

I will NEVER support the socialist obama.

if things keep going how they are we are going to have an armed revolution.

[Raghra]

"we are going to have an armed revolution."

Then you are as dangerous and as radical as any Muslim extremist. Maybe not as insane or cruel, but you're still declaring yourself an enemy of the state.

[wandaslice]

How exactly do you think the nation is headin towards socialism?? what exactly is scaring you about obamas presidency ?? America could never be a socialist country its far to big Socialism only works in small countrys. i feel there is nothing wrong with social ideas and programs why not help out the fellow man ?

[man95000]

He wants wealth redistribution, he was for the bail out, he wants higher taxes, he wants to take away our guns and right to defend ourselves etc.

McCain is just as bad but that doesn't mean I'm going to be happy with Obama.

[urbangonzo]

He wants to roll back the bush tax cuts, I guess that makes him a socialist.. Unlike Brian Moore, who actually was the Socialist candidate for president.

[JehanneDeLys]

This is an inspiring, historically significant turning point for America - the symbolism is profound. However, inspiring words and idealism are useless without substance and sound, practical ideas. Fortunately, moderate Dems are still in the majority and will effectively modify anything too radically socialist (they don't want to lose their seats in 2 years after all).

[ililjjililljiliilij]

If you wan't to defend yourself buy a baseball bat! Isn't it enough to be able to knock someone unconcious? Why does defending yourself automatically mean you have to be able to KILL the other guy!?

Please quit regurgitating this "cold dead hands" facist bullshit. It is based on an amendment which was written at a time where black people were still slaves! So you can see how literally they took their "every man is created equal" ... you rednecks love quoting the bits that suit you best!

Dry up
