  • Obama wants to complain about the price of food, but the bio-fuel legislation he supported is one of the biggest causes of those high prices.

    If Obama wants to fix the economy, he needs to get rid of the costly entitlement programs of this nation that eat up almost half of the entire US budget.

    I love how he wants to make home foreclosures the problem of the federal government. People were foolish enough to borrow more than they could afford, on a high interest rate.Don't blame Washington

  • "McBush" is over ! They are not worth talking in the same room with Barack !

    ( in politic. meaning ) .

    Barack Obama will be the first President of the US who will lead the Americans into the world ... not the US World ...the entire World ...Open up your eyes ! vote for Barack Obama and let him fullfill his destiny .

  • This guy is great!!! So what is the plan that is up his sleeve? I wish I knew so I could really get behind him!!! OBAMA 92!!!!

  • another Obamarrific speech Obama 08

  • I like how he's going to give tax relief just to the middle and lower class. The wealthy NEEDS to pay more taxes because they can afford it.

  • Soccer, that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. The wealthy worked their asses off to get where they are. While dumb ass bumpkins like yourself sit around and complain. Don't get mad because you failed to plan your future. This is America, we have all had a fair chance. But you country motherfuckers don't seem to have a clue anyway.

  • Very true, some wealthy people did work their asses off to get where they are, but not all. This is what these guys are mad about. You would probably call me a dumb ass bumpkin but I'm not. I belive too many people take advantage of teh help the lower class do get. What I mean is that people who don't even need the help get it and the people who need it do don't. This is not anything to do with rich people. This is the lower class taking advantage and living for as free as possible.

  • the top 10% of the wealthiest people in this country cover 70% of the tax bill. the bottom 50% cover 3% of the tax bill. i doubt that obama even knows that stat. rich people do pay alot of taxes. you people talking about how the rich need to pay more have no idea what you're talking about. they've earned their money and they deserve it. this guy has pulled the wool over your eyes.

  • its not even that the rich need to pay more its that the average needs to pay farless

  • Wow

  • I think that this man is good for America. He definitely has my vote

  • Please Americans, you owe it to yourself and to the world to vote Obama.

  • If there are more than 15% Americans to vote for McCain in November it shows an enormous mental health-care problem in the USA.

  • At first i didn't like him but this speech totally changed my impressions of this man. He is a true leader and he needs to make it into the white house!!!

  • I'm still waiting for McCain's plans and proposals.

  • It looks like you're gonna be waiting a long time. Here, let me help you make up your mind. BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!

  • Sad i cant vote,im Norwegian. You will have a hystorical president Americans. And a god one.

  • HE'S GIVING DETAILS! Look at his other videos! Anyone who says that 'change' is just a word is obviously not doing their research. He gives more detail than McCain does and he makes WAY more sense! What is wrong with you people?! Wake up! Our nation is in trouble! Change is NOT a word, it is an action and if anyone can do it OBAMA CAN!

  • (eè'z

  • fdrg

  • 'mccain said hed love to offer a solution to the housing crisis, but he just didnt have one'. that, my friends, is a perfect example of why politicians should never ever be honest

  • Whats good for American workers is good for America. Real conservatives know this, and they'll be voting for Obama this time. There is no place for real conservatives in the Republican party anymore. Time to change the game.

  • Obama , dont play with Macedonia , and our people's fillings.

    Read some history before suporting greeks

  • First off, green energy replaces coal, not gasoline. Second off, spending more on education, green jobs, tax cuts, rebates, infrastructure, bailouts for homeowners, and healthcare doesn't actually fix the debt problem he started out criticizing.

  • he is soooo RIGHT!

  • Pretty speeches aren't going to solve this problem obama, you need to provide a REAL plan to convince us. This "change" you are implying is just a word right now. I am still waiting for you to actually use it as a verb.

  • Go to his website. There's more detail there than most people can even handle. There's no excuse for not knowing exactly what he means by "change".

  • yea but right now he needs to just turn the rebuplican voters and make them vote for him. thats why he's making these speeches. Its too early in the election cycle for him to define his plan. don't worry, he'll do it eventually, just wait til august and september in the debates. First he has to turn the people and convince them to vote for him.

  • McCains change is backing George Bush's policies. "Another 100 years in Iraq" Yea go for that. McBush will lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I can only imagine what horrible things could happen to America, to the whole world if Obama doesn't win ;( I pray for this man to win! For all of us.

  • So well spoken! I really admire him for that (me with my speech impediment and all). I can write a good paper but geez I wish I could give a speech like Barack does. I love it!

  • Go Obama, you are awesome

  • I think Obama is going to wear out that shiny brand new flag pin out in no time at all.

  • obama you can do it. Wishing all the best and of course my vote in november

  • Exellent!!! Obama 08

    McCain where is your plan?

  • I get mesmerized...every time I hear you! Your passion pours through your words, and through the stance of a focused artist, on a wreckage that needs reshaping, rebuilding and most importantly redefining! Obama, salute to you sir!

  • The guy is a speech writing prodigy.

  • All superlatives will not do.

    Linguistics should just make Obama an adjective that describes all good things.

  • Good call... here is the first official sentence: "You are so Obama today...I really like your attitude!"

  • I think he is passionate, about what he is speaking about, I believe that he is trying to get a point across with out being attached to the "drama" that surrounds, his campaign and I am not a democrat and I am Colored Girl! (who likes her tofu fried! :) )

  • If people voted via youtube. Obama is already president via millions of more clicks for Obama, on youtube. Is there a way for Mccain to can get more clicks. The new media, you media, rules in world today. President in november, is Obama. Say no to racism worldwide.

  • Obama is either extremely passionate or ticked off, i can't decide.

    Obama 08.

  • If he were both, that wouldn't be a bad thing.

  • Now we start to know who is John Mccain,and what is his policy as Obama is defining him.

  • Could you restate that as a coherent thought?

  • Obama you are amazing

  • I wish my Country Had Someone Like MR.Obama.

    Cus he dares to fight and someone with this kind of Passion will always Win.

    U will be President MR.Obama

  • "Iran's President Ahmadinejad's regime is a threat to all of us. His words contain a chilling echo of some of the world's most tragic history."

    "I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Everything in my power. Everything."

    - Barack Obama

  • its these moments in history where how we react to growing threats to our existences will determine what those after us willhave toface ..We need to be openminded to change as things require change never hesitate to live inconvenience so that others may have a chance to have a life of convenience gobarack08

  • OBAMA U ARE THE BEST

  • bush/cheney invaded iraq because they wanted to disrupt oil production in the region, and drive up the price of oil because they are in the oil business. vote mccain, and gas will rise to $25 a gallon when he attacks iran. when king abdullah of saudi arabia said he would not increase oil production, bush kissed him ON THE LIPS man. mccain said today when we bring the troops home is not important. tell that to those who are on they're 3rd and 4th tours. :(

    vote obama in '08!!!

  • bush is a figurehead... its all the legislature

  • dude bush has been destroying our country for so many years...gone to war, global warming, high gas prices...youre our last hope to save our country!!!

    PLEASE help us!

  • The best speaker since JFK.

  • The best black speaker since MLK

  • ... or best speaker since MLK black or white.

  • Barack Obama is our only hope and he seems like he is going to do an awesome job!

    OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!

    We can't afford another Republican.

  • My comment never gets posted (-(

    From an outsiders point of view. You guys are lucky to have OBAMA, you would be making a serious mistake if you do not elect him.

    Our current government is full of incompentent idiots & yes they have experience too.

    We would love to have a candidate like him.

    If you do not elect him, I sort feel sorry for your country in the long run...

    Any way all the best OBAMA, if you do not win please come to the UK. We would love adopt you.

  • Obama seems pissed.

  • I'm sure he is. aren't you? I'm angry that the people who have ran this country dared do the things they do. I'm bitter! Let's Rock and Rollbama!

  • We should ALL be pissed with the way things have gone. Bush got elected and ruined our nation now we can finally fix it!

  • The ONLY way to save the economy is to reduce federal spending drastically to the point that there is no deficit. Neither of the Republicrat candidates will even try to do that.

  • "This guy was born to be our president!" (candlegravity)

    Oh, couldn't agree more!

    Barack Obama - take it all the way to the White House! You are our LAST BEST HOPE after eight years of incredible mismanagement (as pointed out brilliantly in this speech!)...

    OUT MOMENT IS NOW!

    FOR A BETTER AMERICA FOR ALL!

  • His health care plan doesn't go far enough.

    The real question is why is he for having

    huge insurance companies remain the "middle man" in providing our health care?

  • Because government is inefficient when it comes to business. Insurance companies are a necessary evil.

  • Obama reply smash McCain's speech. Obama has some great ideas. National credit card rating is great.

  • Wonderfully aureate. Go Obama!

  • mccain has about 5,000 subscribers and obama has over 54,000 subscribers! WE BELIEVE IN YOU! i cant wait till your in the white house!

  • I hope he will put the lobbyist out of business at the national and state level. The lobbyist have ruined this country. McCain says that "Lobbyist help keep politicians focused on what's important."  OMG

  • this man's thoughts are beautiful. it has made me wish i was there. i also wish that more people were politically interested in what happens to this country. the black community are getting there, but they still lack the pure knowing of what they really need to know to choose who is best for president. dont vote for obama because he is black, vote for him, because i know, he will make a wonderful difference.

  • Obama is truly a caring and considerate person. That's the kind of president we need, not one who cares about only the wealthy and throw the middle and lower class people to the side.

  • Obama truly is caring and considerate of people who are in desperate need of help. We need a president like that, not one who cares only about the wealthy and throw the middle and lower class people to the side

  • clear, concise... AMAZING!!

    a politician who offers real, clear solutions!!!

  • I disagree with Obama on a lot of issues, but i will vote for him and do you know why? Do you know why? The thing that impacts our nation most is war. The war in Iraq, was a mistake. Obama opposed the Iraq war from the start, and he still opposes it. A war that devastated our economy and fueled the skyrocketing oil prices. Obama opposes a possible war with Iran.

    If there is one thing i cannot allow it is making the same mistake twice. I cannot allow another fruitless war.

  • lets choose obama or mckain wow i have made up my mind it wont be bush 3rd term

  • The most disturbing trend in this country are stagnant incomes. In 2004 the bottom 60% of earners made, on average, only 95 cents to every dollars they made in 1979. Median wages for men have not increased since 1973. Median household income is up in all stratas but largely only because we now have 2+ earner households. Women's wages did increase but only until about a decade ago. Since 1999, all median income levels have been stagnant. Yet, we've had faster growth than most developed countries.

  • The sad thing is, that no matter how much Obama does another president like Bush can mess it up in 30 days or less!

  • Every speech I have heard from Sen. Barack Obama I feel his passion and I see how sincere he is for CHANGE in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The country WE love. We must knock on doors, make phone calls, and do whatever we can to help elect a man that will bring all parties together to solve our NATION's problems.

    OHIO FOR CHANGE

  • Go man Go!

  • Wow... you watch this speech. Then you watch McCain say "I will veto every beer..." No comparison. Obama 08'

  • He need to lay more simple plan of action, get more people friendly speeches and he will win

  • ramnept69,

    I agree, how about "let's change somethin' for heavens sake. Take a look at my record, I don't believe government takes near enough care of us. We need to give more money to the Department of Education. Government Bureaucracies can do wonders for us! It's about all of us changing for the better by letting the Government take care of us together!"

  • he needs no such thing, if you listen with an open mind you will realise that this guy is a pples person

  • Can someone please remind me how Bush one the presidency? OBAMA '08

  • Fair and square because Gore sucked.

  • hahaha yeah, mainly because the Republicans were united under him really well for 2000 despite the fact that he def. lost that election, and in 2004 Kerry did nothing but blame Bush for a everything without bothering to make any effort at a plan...but yeah that was a shame...GO OBAMA!

  • Maybe he one the presidency won by won.

  • He may very well be the most clear thinking president in US history. He has "all" the quality is takes. He has loads of experience, and it's the right kind too. And he has the right recipe of intelligence, passion, instinct and creativity to bring about real reform to washington and the US. If he doesn't win racism will, cause he's clearly the best candidate in decades!! Let's make it happen!

  • i want my money to go to help other americans who need it, not for oil wars or bank bailouts!!

    obama 08

  • I just finished The Audacity of Hope whilst listening to this speech. Such a nice way to spend half an hour of my day...

    I will be devastated if America doesn't vote this man, this idea, into the White House.

  • So your job is to censor discussion. Does that make you proud?

  • Iam not american but I have been following the american politic for the last 2 decades,and I think the american people are in need of a total CHANGE!!

  • Simply the best. The world loves OBAMA.

  • It's common for Men to give pretended Reasons instead of one real one. The worst wheel of a cart makes the most noise. Don' forget that...

  • They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Wake up America... don't let this fool take you down... The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.

  • Barack not only has the best policies and is bringing the most change to the white house, which is what we need, but Barack also inspires. His down to earth mentality and plans for practical change make him a canidate we can truly believe in.

    Many times during the video I found myself getting goosebumps and thinking about a nation that I am proud to say I live in.

    Barack is the answer to a question that should have never been brought about.

    Barack Obama '08!!!

  • This is the ONE we need!!!!!!

    He is the ONE we need now!!!!

    Lets make the change Elect BARACK OBAMA!!!!!

  • Does Mccain realize that we the American people are suffering,does he understand what paycheck to paycheck means.2 billion dollars every two weeks for a war that has taken over 4,O92 American men and women lives.Are we to believe that 4 years of the same is going to make a better America.we must elect CHANGE. Tony G

  • beautiful speeech, go obama!

  • OH MY GOD, FINALLY!!!

    ANSWERS!!!!

    No more with the powerful eat the poor and disenfranchised.

    BARACK IS BIRLLIANT!!!

    THIS PARADIGM OF AN IDIOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS ABOUT TO END!!!

  • Wow, I don't want to hear any more pendents say they only hear messages of hope from this guy. He just laid out the most detailed plan I've heard from any of the candidates to date. Man, Barack Obama nailed it in this speech. Nothin' but net!

    Let's wake up America. This guy was born to be our president.

    Obama 08'

  • It's obvious GOP has staff members who just sit on here and rate the video's.

  • LOL....I wanted to say the same thing

  • Obama for President!

  • I LOVE YOU OBAMA!

  • when i hear obama speak.. i always wonder how the heck did we elect a president who's most popular speech line was "you fool me once.....you fool me, you cant get fooled again"

    im scared that i could get used to president who are competent..

    obamacans 08

  • This guy is fantastic! Go Obama!

  • This is my therapy when I need hope and inspiration I turn to Obama. In these times of strugles Barack you inspire me and give me the strenghs to carry on.OBAMA 08

  • He's got my vote. Go Obama!!!!

  • I'm getting choked up. He makes me feel proud to be an American. I know what he's saying can be done.

  • yup, u got my vote

  • Very great speech, you can hear the power in his voice and the facts he brings each time just adds to it.  Its time for a change indeed.

  • KY LOVES OBAMA

  • I hope Obama makes it happen. We need change.

  • I LOVE YOU OBAMA!!!!!! Thanks to you I will be able to go back to college and finish! You are the greatest hope for our nation!

  • For once I have real hope for and belief in a better future for our country!

  • I'm an Obama supporter from NY and voted for him in the primary. I'm confident he will win the general election, if we all do our part to help him win. I do think, however, Obama may want to think about delivering these speeches without a teleprompter so it comes across more from the heart. I have no doubt it comes from his heart and he believes every word of it. I just think reading from the prompter makes it seem really mechanic at a time when we need to win over the new supporters and cynics.

  • Yet another great speech. Obama '08!

  • Go Obama! I hope you win every state!

  • If we don't elect this man, then we TRULY don't deserve his caliber of leadership...

  • Great speech Mr. President.

    Just a correction for drwalepen15: the EV1 happened '96-'99. Not that I'm defending Bush, but we do need to be fair and honest.

  • Can a republican tell me why they would actually consider voting for McCain over Obama after seeing that Obamas policies are much much better than McCains?

  • sweden voted 80-20 till Obama

  • president Obama BRITAIN LOVES YOU!

  • That's how it's done...

  • I'm all for going to a new fuel source, but right now I'm a 22 year old college student who has to fill up my tank to go to class, and go to work. Anymore I am working for gas to go to school where about two years ago I had plenty of money for other things. I think we need relief from gas prices, because people like me can't afford to switch yet.

  • Europe for Obama!

  • God Bless you Mr.Obama.

  • With Kevin Rudd's victory in Australia, and Obama poised to win America, the Western world is going to change the rest and itself. And not a moment too soon! The world is begging for a leader who will halt climate change through colossal effort, end the addiction to oil, and focus the UN on nuclear disarmament.

  • I hope Obama keeps his promises.

  • I'm an American, usually a Republican voter. If this man doesn't become our president, I will be extremely disappointed. He is exactly what we need now. Right person at the right time. Obama 08!

  • While this does not really matter, I like to state that I am a Christian from Beirut/Lebanon.

    wow - men like this appear rarely in history...

    I wish we have someone like him down here where I am ...

    God Bless Obama/USA

    Good Luck Obama

    and hope you change the World...

  • hier kann man nicht ein mal negative comments abgeben. die werden sofort aussortiert...

    jetzt schreibe ich noch um diese ami trottel zu täuschen:

    GO OBAMA YOU GOT MY VOTE!

  • Please, someone, time warp me to December. I can't wait until Barack takes office.

  • Yaaayy!! WIN WIN WIN

  • If mccain wins, our country will as a whole wholly admit how lost and disillusioned we've sadly become and we will also show the world how we've gladly compromised our freedom and the truth.

  • This guy is a genius, he understands balance and knows how to balance things about. the few rich cooperations are dictating our lives with all the high prices; We need a government that is for the people

    He is finally showing his real punches against John McCain.

    Amazing..

  • I think the reason many people will vote for McCain is due to security. The type of people that vote for him typically make a fair amount of money, so things are going well for them and they want to continue.

    Personally I make a good living, but I am bored. I think Obama will be the most interesting and fun to watch president, so he had my vote.

  • Great Man, leader

  • Excellent speech. It shows that Obama is in touch with our current situation and that McCain is just more of the same!

  • Obama needs to get more examples.. i heard some of them in some of his previous speeches

  • Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!

    Go Obama go!!!

  • man i missed him in vegas last time. i really want him to come back so i can see him!

  • presiden obama.

    what a great guy.hope in my country guy like this will come soon.

    we need one.

  • I suspect that McCain is going to get SMEARED.

  • November needs to hurry up.

  • I usually don't advocate beating senior citizens, but i'm gonna have to make an exception this time.

    Obama '08

  • Great speach :)

  • Did you see him speaking to his HQ staff and volunteers in Chicago? It was great. He has a tremendously clever, innovative team of outstanding people - and they're going to need more support than ever in the coming months. I'm going to volunteer and be part of the federal election campaign. I want to be part of this historic moment.

  • I doubt America wants John McSame.

  • that speech right there, is why he wil be your next President. How can some old loon who gets taugh lessons about the economy by his advisors 20 mins before making a speech, compete with that?! lol

  • obama 4ever!!!

  • Obama is the first politician I've ever heard walk the walk on the free market. When Republicans say "free markets," they mean government-sanctioned monopoly, no bid contracts, corporate welfare, and rolling back consumer protection. Obama is defending and promoting true capitalism, real competition, the kind that benefits consumers. Go Obama!

  • God bless and protect that man!

  • BARACK IS BRINGING THE HEAT!!!!

  • I do not like it when people say it was a great speech. It implies they are just words, nothing more. When I listen to Obama discuss our potential future by voting for him or against him, I see a change, something viable, not just words. He eloquently spoke about two futures, a bright future with him as president and a dull future with McCain.

  • Another great speech by our next President. I can't wait until he is inaugurated!

  • AWSOME. Right Wing Culture stops where American education security and healthcare security progress begins.

  • mccain has about 5,000 subscribers and obama has over 54,000 subscribers! WE BELIEVE IN YOU! i cant wait till your in the white house!

  • Hot damn, I love this guy.

  • What an amazing man! He will be one of the best presidents we have ever had!

    Obama 2008!

  • Obama is amazing. McCain doesn't standa chance in hell.

  • This man will change the WORLD!

  • As a veteran, I know Obama will win if we ALL get behind him and support him. We must NOT let these repugnikkkans tear him down and we must stand up to racism and repugnikkkan crooks who hide behind religion to rage their illegal wars and their hate. It is our duty to make this country PROGRESSIVE and gain back the respect that bushchimpy flushed down the toilet. NEVER AGAIN, will we see crooks like the bush/cheney crime families in our White House. Geauxbama (Louisiana slogan)!

  • OBAMA IS THE BEST..!

  • President Barack Obama. MAKE US PROUD

  • obama has a very good chance at winning because as of now america is fed up with bush(republicans in general)and obama is cammpaigning towards this and mccain wont because hes loyal to his party..their differences on iraq is where mccain eats his dust..i believe america wants us out of there asap..ive gotta do more research on mccain but obama sounds better after hearing this

  • we need new schools.

  • I really, really, really Hope that Barack Obama becomes President.

  • This was a very good speech, and presented nicely. If he stays on this path he will be at the helm come Jan. Don't deviate from the course.

  • We all need to come together to ensure Barack wins. Give a thumbs up if you are volunteering in his campaign this year.

    GO OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I cant wait for his debates with McCain.

  • Near PERFECT speech yet again!! Damn Obama your on FIRE!!

  • Change that Works for You haveing a democrat in the wyte house Go Obama

  • Obama have valid points on economy... Republicans will destroy our beloved nation if they win in November... :-(

  • This guy has my vote

  • I will say it again and again. Obama is the truth!!!!!
