Democratic nominee Barack Obama stops by US Capitol

[LER77]

Leah Ward Sears!

[blueboy11994]

I was on my 8th Grade Washington D.C. trip and we were touring the US Capitol when this was filmed. WE just took a big group picture in front of the Capitol building when people started to scream "Obama!". Then when we went inside the Capitol, we sat in the floor of the HOuse, and Obama walks in! My class was sitting on the second floor of the U.S. House and we were so excited to see OBama!

[lsnfoundation]

To your question: Why Do Democrats Treat Blacks So Bad?

[elecbass100]

pfft these idiot reporters think he's campaigning. He shut them up quick!

[sedeyus]

Amazing video. So crazy to watch him as he moves through the capital with his staff and secret service protection, answers reporter's questions, loses the reporters, gains more reporters, walks through crowds of people taking his picture, answers questions, and then still has to talk to that group walking. This is what his life and John McCain's life is like. They're constantly covered.

[lava200]

You should learn to spell.

[MoEnzyme]

The Republicans said they were impressed with his jump shot . . . hah hah! Whether true or not it was a classy response. He's definitely a cool operator. :)

[1masfarero]

I love the whole scene of this clip. The people taking pics, the press following, his walk, his swagger, my nigga.

Obama '08.

[iloveram]

this was one of my favorite moments from the campaign trail.

[daveyork0]

Good stuff. Everybody wants a piece o' that guy and the amazing thing is he don't even get p'ed off by it. Not so it shows.

[dawgie1234]

He's like the cool kid in high school you always wanted to be. Everyone wants to be close to him. I wish I could meet Obama.

[enferno00]

the messiah is here seig heil

[snakeyesx21]

"tell everyone I said hi"

[1wdc]

Hey, moron, the richest 10% of americans pay 95% percent of the taxes.

By making them pay more we (the middle and lower class) could enjoy better benefits such as cheaper health care, bigger tax refunds, and better schools.

[illflo69]

he must be in the upper class level

[Evrastus]

I hope that at this time in 2009 the mass hysteria for Obama continues!!!!!!!!

[StubbornCanary]

Lol...the silly little woman scampering along to get aquestion.

Love it  Its BRILL

[jakesunrider01]

To All Obamamites, you win, I will have the last laugh, Obama and his friends will rip this country apart. If youtube is still on, I will be back so say, I told u so.

[bjay1121]

Seriously, is it possible to do a worse job than Bush has done in the last eight years?

[OzCowgirl]

He's hot.

[eddietru]

"Black Agenda Report has long held that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are identical, politically. Both are associated with the Democratic Leadership Council, the corporate rightwing of the Democratic Party. Clinton proudly upholds the DLC banner, while Obama claims to not be a member, but behaves exactly as if he were one."

[eddietru]

Obama aggressively opposed initiating impeachment proceedings against the president and he wouldn't even support Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold's effort to censure the Bush administration for illegally wiretapping American citizens in violation of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. . .

[laleeloolelo]

Really?

Then why did Obama voted NO on Bush's FISA bill?

You know, the vote that HILLARY MISSED!

[jobrien2001]

Obamatards say:

He is for "change", yes "change", we will "change", "change" direction.

What is he going to change? Nothing.

[laleeloolelo]

He already change the campaign game by accepting money DIRECTLY from the people through internet.

Now that's a change i can believe in.

Heh heh.

[Bluetrooper]

What's McCain going to change? Besides his old man diapers.

[jobrien2001]

Listen dummy, I dont want either candidate to be the president. I'm not voting at all since both candidates will plunge the country into more debt.

But I will have a good laugh when the country is on worse shape than today once the next presidents term ends. Best thing I did was move to Europe. A little less morons over here.

[DjDialogic]

Wow.

A brilliant campaign move.

I said it before and I'll say it again he has the potential to equal if not excel the great American presidents. I have seen no others that can compare with Obama's potential.

He's already won this election!

Game over!

w-08AMA/Edwards

L-Clinton

L-McCain

[move2montana]

I promise Change for a new direction,and a new dierection for change,yes we can,change the direction,to change,yes we can,a new direction,for a change,the direction I am talking about is differant,it will be a change.

[dustynbones]

AStatePlayer,

Webb is amazing.

He's the closet I've ever seen to a Thomas Jeffersonian qualities.

Obama is like a Jacksonian.

Jacksonian & Jeffersonian incredible!

[jobrien2001]

I want some of whatever you are smoking. Obama is Jefferson? You are a moron.

[dustynbones]

I said that Obama is like a Jacksonian Democrat, and that Webb has Jeffersonian Qualities.

Now, who's the moron? Now come on, do we have to resort to these type of insults for simple statements?

[dustynbones]

Someone like Bush, McSame and Clinton could handle anything like that you just saw.

Totally amazing.

[utubesucks2003]

No, idiot, if you havn't heard any of Obama's rally speeches by now that are complete empty slogans and abstraction, you must've been hiding under your own ignorance.

[laleeloolelo]

Have you even ACTUALLY heard any Obama speeches?

Oh well fortunately Obama supporters aren't low information voters who can be easily swayed by misleding comment.

Nice try but no cigar utubesucks2003.

[utubesucks2003]

Empty slogans and inanities do not constitute official political discourse, at least if to be taken seriously. Do you even know what a hard policy discussion represents, or is this like American Idol to you?

The majority of Obamatards are sheep. He's still a better choice than McCain, but not by a lot.

YES WE CAN.

[laleeloolelo]

Does that mean you're not a McCain supporter?

GODD FOR YOU!

BTW can you show excerpt from his speech that shows his "inanities"? That is if you can find any.

[utubesucks2003]

Willfully ignoring the issues and copping out with blase speeches is an inanitie, see any rally speech on youtube.

I'm done with the obamatards here lol.

[laleeloolelo]

Of course you're done.

You have nothing to say.

[makeinstall]

Lets see I have read his policies, heard his speeches and both lack any detail.

For example, exactly where is he raising the money for his programs.

We'll be paying taxes toward Medicare, Medicaid and social security, etc and then on top of that a new public health plan.

Obama also wants to increase strategic force posture by increasing military funding but where will he get the money? I call pandering on this one.

Any high information voter should ask these simple question.

How can we?

[laleeloolelo]

"For example, exactly where is he raising the money for his programs."

From cutting the tax breaks to the corporations and big business.

"Obama also wants to increase strategic force posture by increasing military funding but where will he get the money?"

Gee how about from the money saved from NOT wasting them on no bid contract or useless military vehicles MRAP which turn out to be as vulnerable to IED as the old humvee.

[makeinstall]

From cutting the tax breaks to the corporations and big business.

Do you know why business's are leaving the US I'll give you a clue "Corporate tax rate and trade restrictions". GE is sitting with billions outside of the US along with other corporations and guess what the US won't see it unless something is done to help these corporations.

MRAP-- useless. OK I see youv'e been watching the Al quada videos again.

And still no real answers only opinion from an Obama star struck groupie.

[laleeloolelo]

Business are leaving the US becuse THE LABOR COST IS CHEAPER ABROAD (i know, i live in Indonesia).

As for MRAP:

New York Times, Jan 22, 2008:

Hopes for Vehicle Questioned After Iraq Blast

"official confirmation of the first fatality inflicted by a roadside bomb on an MRAP, the new Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected armored vehicle that the American military is counting on to reduce casualties from roadside bombs in Iraq."

What say you?

[makeinstall]

Wow, one incident and you want to mothball the project. A bit silly isn't it.

Lets go to 2007 shall we. Marine times headlines No deaths in 300 attacks on MRAPS.

Lets go to 2008. MRAP sees "First" Iraqi death which happens to be your story. And I bet you aren't even aware of the MRAP 2 which will be resistant against EFP which the MRAP 1 was immune to IED.

So, what do I say about your one story and one death. More leftist spinnnn.

Labor cost are part of the reason not the entire picture.

[laleeloolelo]

"Wow, one incident and you want to mothball the project. A bit silly isn't it."

Did the Brit try to resume the Titanic project after the first one sinked?

Besides regardless whether or not you agree with Obama stance on economy it's still a whole lot better than McCain's "magical tax cut fairy income" policy.

[purple102983]

I'm so proud of Obama and how he's handled his campaign. He acts like a true future president is supposed to act.

[utubesucks2003]

blah blah blah blah

talk about the issues

[borddurasoir]

What the hell is this video? It's like the West Wing meets real life.

[adenta]

I always find it interesting how many hillary supporters watch Obama content on youtube. If you don't like why are you always watching content about him? I rarely watch Hillary related content on youtube, because I am not interested in her campaign. I also don't post anti-hillary comments because, again, I am not interested in her campaign. It is time for Hillary supporters to resolve this unhealthy obsession they have with Obama.

[msmcgee1]

All of you haters need to just STOP

[msmcgee1]

actually its over 250K, so ur safe, lol

[nytquil1]

You earn 100K and u think u need a break? Give me a break! My mom earns 70k and Im a sophomore in college and im already 32K in debt and i have another 2yrs to go, not to mention graduate school... So trust me youre not hurting besides Im sure u got a porsche in your garage , take it back! LOL im kiddin

Obama'08

[willaroke]

if this is what a president goes thru then I dont want to be one lol

[milkgodnl]

it must be stressful .. to be surrounded by voices urging you to make a mistake.

[infinityofnever]

that was quite glorious though.

[zoostergirl]

That is one patient man! Poor guy couldn't even walk for all the microphones in his face.

Obama08

[sanjosethornton]

Did anyone hear how his rock star status is evident on capitol hill. Even republicans wanted to see him up close. One gop member even had an groupd of school kids who were so excited to see this man. Face it, some people are jeoulous that barack obama can make crowds faint more than elvis presly.

[nytquil1]

This guy has my Vote!

[rhina007]

yea mr future president

[DUGLESSM]

We are getting played yet again DEMOCRATS,check this fact out for yourself on youtube or goggle. In these recent elections these are some of the numbers of republicans that voted for hillary Clinton.(we all know republicans HATE the Clintons)

100,000 in ohio

119,00 in texas

38,000 in Mississippi

so a lot of hillarys votes are not going to roll over in nov.(but we don't have to worry about that lol its over 4her)

Republicans fear obama

[kkvh4026]

I'm a Hillray supporter but I don't want Hillary to be VP, as 4 Hiullary supporters it will look like a return to her position as 1st lady. I don't want them comparing her to Cheney, as I'm sick of people trashing her all the time unfairly and I know that would happen. Edwards should be VP, and he shares the same base as Hillary.They all stood 4 everyone though, but I want Hillary to be given the task of fulfilling universal healthcare. A lot of us want her 2 have that role.

[milkgodnl]

.. but just think, kkvh4026, if Hillary gets compared with Cheney, then Barack would get compared to Bush, and that ain't pretty!

[kkvh4026]

I don't want a joint ticket. It wouldn't make any sense as Obama's been calling her a typical old Washington style Bush Republican, and says he says that that's not change. So he's tainted her image should she be VP anyway. And pundits are already saying that she would be like Cheney, which is not an image Hillary supporters like either. Just like Gore will get global warming, Edwards poverty, Richardson diplomacy, Hillary should fulfil her legacy of universal healhcare where she's strongest.

[luvnhugs]

This independent - Clinton supporter - is feeling more and more republican as the media declares and appoints Obama the nominee....I'll take the experienced patriot over the Chicago style corrupted newbie any day!

Besides - Obama campaign spokespeople have made it very clear that they do NOT need my middle class white vote - their "strong" coalition for November consists of blacks, youths, and the ellite --- so they don't need me to win....the "New" democratic party doesn't need or want my vote

[Flababo]

You're an idiotic troglodyte.  Good riddance to you.

[knockdoor101]

to luvnhugs

So you decided to waste you time and come to obama's site?

*sigh*

[TheCaptainofSauce]

luvnhugs,

You're right in that Obama doesn't need you. The optimistic, rugged individualism inherent in the American Spirit won't be sullied by your narrow-minded, simpleton views. Anyone who'd support an outright liar for President should stay home in November anyway.

[lifeandfaith]

I've got three shit jobs and I voted for him. (Of course, I'm from chicago and I know first hand his long record helping workers, so I don't count! We actually are his base here.)

But, anyway, best of luck trying to pass Hillary's policies under a McCain administration. I believe that she'll fair better with Dems like me who still like her and want out from under neo-con control.

[luvnhugs]

I don't plan on staying home...I ALWAYS vote - I just plan on voting AGAINST Obama - I'm a middle of the road dem - a Reagan democrat. I'm not swayed and convinced with Obama - I'll be voting for the patriot - I believe the extreme liberal with the wife that hates America would be bad for this country. All of the Obama followers who have insulted me have just solidified my vote AGAINST Obama. Really, I don't understand why you don't try helping your candidate instead of hurting him further.

[Vamply]

You do realize that in voting AGAINST Obama, you're voting against your own best interest. Please don't take what I'm saying as disrespectful or trying to "change your vote". You're entitled to feel whatever way you like BUT you're using your vote like a bribe. As i've said, no disrespect intended.

[illflo69]

so you want to see another 4 years of bush he like bush clone and his wife dont hate america she was saying how happen all the different people all ages, race, are out voting she never seen that before no one has so that way she said the was her fisrt time being proud for the voting process. and i agree i lov the u.s but i keep seeing better thing that make u more proud

[caledesi]

President Obama!

[Vamply]

WOW! That was amazing!

[donnie486]

The coolest future president ever this guy is a rock star

[jakesunrider01]

OBAMA DESTROYS MEDICARE, DENIES OLDER CITIZENS THE BENEFITS THEY WORKED FOR AND PAID INTO.

This will be the headline this time next year. Obama is going to give 50 million people free medical care to INCLUDE 10 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Come to america, get free medical care, obama takes it from the working people, mostly white and gives it away to illegals and non working people.

Obama's plans tells u his is going to rip this country apart, just listen please.

Jake Sunrider

[elonepb]

Obama destroys the system that ISN'T working.

Get real.

[paceengineer]

His plan to subsidize insurance actually does not include illegals, he has been very clear on that. It's funded by a repeal on the GWB tax cut of people earning more than $150,000 a year. The tax cuts remain in place for everyone else. His plan mostly reduces the cost of insurance, most people will still be buying it for themselves.

[jakesunrider01]

pace, this is not true, u r making stuff up. You are the most stupid obamamites in the history of stupid. He said on MSNBC with Chris Matthews the cuts would be for the middle class, $60K to $100K specifically. The rest of america gets taxed. Typical democrat who taxes the working poor and gives it to his non-working buddies in exchange for thier vote. Obama will be a bitter disappointment for you in the next couple of years. Enjoy this lying racist baby killer while u can!

Jake Sunrider

[paceengineer]

No Jake, my statements are based on his actual policy statements and papers. Quote:

"Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans."

This is in addition to the middle class tax cut you refer to.

[AxmxZ]

That sounds so utterly ridiculous. Are you seriously suggesting his platform is to explicitly TAX THE POOR? He went into his plan in some detail with Wolf Blitzer: the plan is to repeal the tax cuts for people earning ABOVE $200,000. Everyone who is not well-to-do keep the tax and possibly gets another one.

[milkgodnl]

Mr. Sunrider,

Perhaps you could grace us with a link to a YouTube video regarding said interview with Chris Matthews.

[milkgodnl]

Xenophobes should not welcome in the Democratic Party. I believe you and your kind will be better served voting Republican, lest some spineless Democratic politician has to pander to you and your beliefs to get your vote.

[blueboy11994]

i was at the Capitol Building with my 8th grade class that day and I saw Obama!! wE were on our DC Trip and it was so cool. We got to go inside the House during a vote and he was shaking hands with everyone.

[bringiton2]

OBAMA 08

[phoenixrising823]

Obama was invited to the house floor by a member, Hillary was not.

[BigD95]

**If Hillary would have did something like that, she would have been nailed to the cross!**

She did but nobody cared when she showed up

[JohannaPalacio001]

This cocky SOB thinks his the nominee already but he is so wrong.

[moyamb]

yes he is,, and the whole world wants change..and he's the image of that. billary and mcclame are more of the same. love from sweden. the world is with you mrs obama. god bless you. stop the hating americans..why americans are so fucking dumb.

[freff]

He's winning, so apparently it's not everyone. There are plenty of good and smart American people. Just try to remember that next time you want to generalize the entire country, ok?

[kkvh4026]

Calling others names and swearing is the typical Washigton politics. I thought you wanted change, and that's why people see it as hypocritcal when mant Obama supporters do that.

[henlow3000]

what are you afraid of? COCKY SOB?

Dude?

[raaf123]

Obviously you are delusional.

But please keep donating to Hillary's campaign, she'll need the money to pay off her debts.

[milkgodnl]

Johanna,

I know it is difficult when one's favorite candidate is not the first-runner. I volunteered in Iowa in 2004 just as John Kerry was surging against Governor Dean .. This was a week or two before the infamous Dean Scream. Anyhow, Senator Clinton is a fine candidate and hopefully she will not make any really big mistakes .. It's gonna' be close!

[KarmicSpirit]

The People Love Obama!

[ge0vanny01]

don't cry muffin. just smile and nod...smile and nod...8 years will be over in a jiff...

obama 08

[muffin1559]

Is that what they call pandering? LOL! What a joke!

[muffin1559]

If Hillary would have did something like that, she would have been nailed to the cross!
