Barack Obama at Yad Vashem, Israel

[realmench]

The more I watch this video I am convinced Obama will do the right thing.

[realmench]

Obama is a smart man. He knows who is buttering his bread. I like him. I would be very disapointed to find out that he is pandering to Israel for the American Jewish vote. I think that he will do the smart thing as president.

[RockyBalboa211]

God bless him, darn why do both these presidents have really great values, I cant pick!

[oo446611]

usa supports the palastinian holocaust , even gives weapons for children to be murderd , if you trully respect liberty you would drop your relation with israel and stop supporting the zionist terrorist, distroy there nucular facilites and and put in place embargos against them , also bring war criminals to justice , but lady liberty has lost her shame sold it to the zionist thanks usa

[habizabiusa]

My friend, USA do not want peace between Israel and palastanian. Hitler used Gas chamber to tourcher Jews. Israel want to do the Same to muslim. Why?

Hitlan was a Christian. USA want to sell weapon that's why they do want any peace between Israel and palastain.

Israel should wake up and make step for peace.

[hagolan]

usually foreign representative visitors get a black kipah at yad vashem. obama got a white one. how come? to make sure everybody sees that he's wearing it?

[tubezillauk]

Just came back from Yad Vashem very moving. No one is saying Israel doesn't have problems, however, if you understood their history I believe as a humanitarian they deserve a homeland, which Turkey and Britain ambigiously provided.

[habeef311]

Being a president you take the responsibility of millions and for China a couple billion. Now majority of us have problems being responsible of ourselves and families, why we put trust on one person to do something we try on a consistent basis to be , as in responsible, is embarrasing. Im keeping it real, I'm real tired of politics and all the clandestine crap they doing behind our noble backs. They are responsible to make this world a better place and who really thinks they could? im all peace

[yankees7866]

i would support obama, but im not so sure about him...

for now im with mccain

a) what is obamas stance on iran? will he rightfully sanction them until they stop their nuclear program?

b) what are his ideas on health care?

c) how will he provide a more secure america than mccain?

[iteslabot]

Dud don't you get it? The media makes you feel that the only real vote is republican or democrat. Why? 1. the media is controlled by corporations. 2. they both do the same thing. Look at history. Bush Sr. started, Clinton continued, Bush added, and it's like the grab to be nominated and take the job. Obama is bad. Mccain is worse. What's obama's stance? I sincerely don't know. Look at his speeches. They're very vague. even after the primaries he changed positions about iraq, phone tapping...

[younesbaww]

he said on tv that he wants to pull all the troops out of iraq and attack iran instead, due to their nuclear program.

[robnum1]

a) he will sanction iran if he has too, but will actually talk with leadership of that country in order to see if diplomatic solutions are available. (what a head of state is supposed to do by law in the constitution). The Bush administration talked to N. Korea and that worked out, why does Bush refuse to talk to the Iranians?

b) Government sanctioned healthcare insurance. We are the only developed nation in the world without it. I am sick of having 3rd world gov. healthcare

[robnum1]

c) He will secure the nation, but you should be more concerned about our economic and political well-being. Our founding fathers hated giving up certain rights for security. We should be looking to fix our economy and communities as a top priority.

Just to let you know I am a Jewish American and a full supporter of Obama.

[CHICKONBONE]

I guess you have to have oositive post to get in

[starlost1957]

2008 World Ready for The Black John F.Kennedy? History repeats itself like 1960's!!!!!

[lisameyer]

beautifully stated, thaulopi.

[kischtrine]

Any time I see Obama talking or taking a speech I am impressed and I can't help it, but he is like a god talking about all the good stuff that could happen to the world, when he gets president. So America, please vote for this man. Even if he can't make everything come true just the half of it could help us all.

Sorry for my bad english, but I am not a native speaker ;)

[ejmac11]

HE IS LIKE A GOD!!!!!!???? Shame on you fool

[iteslabot]

People are so gullible. Blind walking.I agree with you dude.

[iteslabot]

Tell me 1 thing that he said that had meaning? Concrete meaning? Don't be fooled.

[ANTIGYAN2323]

Barack Obama you will be the president of America and the world comes November as the world has been waiting for peace not repeatition of war by John Mccain and the Republican.The continuation of George Bush.Well trip and vision by Obama. Job well done. God guidiance for Obama.

[iteslabot]

"peace", Book of Isaia

When they said Peace Peace, sudden distruction came upon them like a woman upon a trevail.

Just wait for it.

[babri62]

In human history, very few times and very few people rise up from no where to represent and make difference to the well being of common man.

In a world hungry for a CHANGE, Obama defies all odds, discrediting the corrupt career professional politicians & the profiteers of the military industrial complex, while proving to the ordinary man that there's a better alternatives to fear, war, death and destruction.

Any wonder the man is being received as a new Messiah, every where in the world.

[Loqqester]

I will be attacked moments after posting a comment here.

[vintagemotelguest]

As educated Americans who actually read about events around the globe, we are more than a little dismayed that Mr. Obama has pandered - extensively - to Zionist Israel when SO MANY Palestinians are being victimized daily by their fascist regime.

Israel consistently breaks international law, mocks U.N. sanctions, has 100 illegal nuclear warheads, and laughs about its own control over U.S. politicians --- so now, exactly WHY does Mr. Obama still see that nasty little country as the "victim"???

[desirejoseph26]

Three words characterise Barack Obama:Humility,Compassionate and visionary.

[PersonalFoul42]

I fell asleep for 3 hours...will someone fill me in on Obamas positions today

[PlanetMother]

He earns a lot of RESPECT.

OBAMA 08

[henryvane]

at 1:55- his daughter's are looking forward to it? "Daddy! We're bored with the Holocaust Museum in D.C.! We want to go to the real Holocaust Museum in Israel!! Please!! Please can we go!!

[szaki]

Did he visit the 150+ Israeli Nuclear war heads, pointing at it's neighbors?

[xMadNetx]

I think he can bring peace in the Middle-East.

That would be really awesome, maybe Israel will change their name to like Palesraeli. Hahahaha

But honestly, if Israel and Palestine unite as one nation, I can assure you their wouldn't be no problems anymore.

[klupto]

wait what? the holocaust was real???

[yavashbia2]

Admiral Thomas Moorer, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff under Ronald Reagan said this:

"I've never seen a President -- I don't care who he is -- stand up to them [the Israelis]. It just boggles the mind. They always get what they want. The Israelis know what is going on all the time. If the American people understood what a grip those people have got on our government, they would rise up in arms. Our citizens certainly don't have any idea what goes on."

[alilpersianpapi7]

Charles Lindbergh said this:

"Their greatest danger to this country lies in the Jewish ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government."

While a guest on ABC's Face the Nation, William Fulbright - US Senator and Chairman of the US Foreign Relations committee - said this before a national television audience:

"Israel controls the United States Senate. We should be more concerned about the United States' interests."

[SaladinCanada]

First, I would like to say that I am a big supporter of Obama. I noticed that all candidates MUST show full loyalty to a foriegn country (Israel) because the powerful pro Israel lobby controls American media, etc. I suggest then to have the American presidency campaign carried out in Israel and whoever is selected by the Israelis become the president. Billions of dollars can be saved in this way because Israel is much smaller in area than the US!. Does anyone support this practical suggestion?.

[liljmoneymaker]

ur the best obama

[Thaulopi]

As a german I feel the need to say something about this man, particularly when he speaks at a place like this. This fine man exemplifies everything that I want from someone who prusuits politics as his profession. Albeit, he is still a politician and wants to be elected. He might be a good president, but he is no left wing messiah for sure. Still, I would give my heart to him gladly as he is my only choice and maybe my only hope for a better future.

[Buck295]

Go Obama! But don't forget people, McCain is not beaten yet and he can fight as well

[Davmoran1]

Amazing how when Obama was in Israel, he when into the area where homes were attacked by Gaza. McCain avoided that area entirely.

[lovejangie1]

Sen. Obama look and sounds very presidential.

[clearvision12]

4 out of 5 Brits want this man in office. Don't let us down!!!

Go Barack!

[mfridholm]

Please America!! Make the right choice this time! OBAMA fan in Sweden.

[subfusc8]

Well, I think wearing the kippah pretty much puts the Muslim rumors too bed. I know about 1.5 billion Muslims who wouldn't be caught dead wearing one.

[EAR388DUST876]

you are so dead wrong subfusc8, i am a muslim and i do not see anything wrong with the kippah...get a life, for you do not speak for muslims...and your hatred shows

[aliG313]

you're an idiot.

and by the way.. i'm a muslim who happens to have jewish friends.. and yes, on occasions i've worn the kippah. so suck it..

[daderone]

going some place to pay respects does not become a photo op just because the press shows up to take pictures. The Israeli government was obviously fine with allowing this to be photographed and I think its important for the world to hear and see what just took place. Its very moving and in fact educational.

[MarkG45]

Sup World, this is America. Yea, we are going to elect Obama, but we need your help, if you have family in America PLEASE contact them and explain to them how important this is. Obama will get elected, but the intensity behind is movement, and the progressive movement is what will determine the next 4 years. The Democratic party will meet Barack halfway on most of his ideas, but we need new and better Democrats elected this fall if we are going to make the changes that are needed.

[omarhea1]

wow obama keep doing the right thing. be safe and come home soon. The rep are going nutsattack after attack...

[theHellwithPolitics]

A true leader

[beserker45]

I know your going win Obama!

[lovejangie1]

Go Obama!!! He will be an awesome leader!!!

[berlicho09]

that's our man the man of AMERICA, the man of the WORLD, let's vote for Obama and you will be safe and comfortable in our country that we love VOTE CHANGE VOTE OBAMA THANK YOU.

[DarkCrawler90]

Another Finnish supporter here. America can't miss this chance.

[MannyCAE]

God BLESS OBAMA!!.. ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE!!...

[cesarebt83]

Go USA !!! Go OBAMA !!!

FROM ITALY, WITH THE HOPE IN THE HEART !!!!!

[bikersrule07]

WOW thanks cesarbt83, in a time when the whole world hates the usa, its very nice to see a nice comment like that.

[iamcivilizeddotcom]

They dared him to go, he went! now they're biting their nails and whining. ah it's fun to watch.

[random5252]

Supporting Barack Obama from Finland ! Please America, make the right choice.

[charmgirl1367]

From the U.S.A: Obama 08! If McCain wins I'm moving to Canada! Although right now I'm glad to say that it seems that he will be the next president. :)

[david1137444]

Dont come to Canada. We don't want you losers up here!

[iteslabot]

That's what they want you to think. Both accomplish the same thing. Look in history. It's like a fake sense of security that we're made to feel. And again, a fake sense of ability to decide. Do you honestly believe that our votes aren't rigged? WAKE UP!

[naujitii]

1st african american to be president of the USA, a great step on the civil rights movement and a great step for America to improve itself. The Bush hurricane has razed and ruined our economy, let Obama be the calm after the storm.

[LifeinaRaindrop]

Love Obama, but I can't say I agree with his support of a religious state that supports a caste system by race/religion.

[clearvision12]

lifeinaraindrop

You silly prat, over 1 1/2 million Arabs live in Israel & have more rights there than their brothers living in the lands surrounding them.

Israel is a democracy, not a theocracy or an oligharchy.

Young man, try to sort out the simple facts before you post in future, if only to save yourself from embarrassment.

[BenJB07]

LifeinaRaindrop, are you on drugs? I am a Jewish-Israeli citizen. walk up to any Arab-Israeli and they will tell you they enjoy exactly the same rights as us. As a matter of fact, our embassador to Finland is a practicing Muslim and some of our highest raninking leaders are non-Jews. To say we have a caste systems requires and abysmal ignorance or deliberate bigotry. Jews and Arabs in Israel share exactly the same rights.

[SaladinCanada]

BenJB07: Israeli Arabs are not allowed to build homes on land they own because you do not give them building permits. Very little money is allocated to Arab municipalities in Israel as compared to Jewish ones. Peaceful demonstrations of Arab Israelis are met with live bullets (The case where you killed 13 Israeli Arabs in a peaceful demonstration is well known). Please take off your thick Israeli eyeglasses and see the racist nature of your country!.

[gangsterwigwam]

do you have to wear a yamaka inside or something becuase i dont think he should be wearing just as a sign of respect my understanding was that it was a symbol of your committment to Jewish ways (anyone actually know)?

[Darcphayce]

You definetly have to wear a yarmulka when entering a synagogue...

[behindthecloud]

Its not a sign of jewish faith necessarily, and all (male) visitors to Yad Vashem must wear a yarmulke/kippa.

[menalek]

no commitment to jewish way...

[daderone]

You should wear a yarmulke when entering any Jewish place of worship it is certainly appropriate and a sign of respect. I for example only wear a yarmulke when in service and if I brought a friend who was not Jewish he could choose but it would be shown as a personal sign of respect and humbleness for someone of another faith 2 put on a yarmulke. Its certainly a choice and I feel he made the right one if thats what you're asking. If I were with him to me it would show part of his character.

[manormyth77]

my friend's always were respectful enough to don a kippah with me when entering a synogogue, but they didn't have a choice :).. I would've told them  to wait outside if they didn't.. I do believe that gentiles should respect Judaism based on the FACT that w/out Judaism, thier religious belief is null and void..

[Fitplayer66]

The yamaka is symbolic and says that God above us. Ironically most Jews in Israel are secular people and do not wear the yamaka at all.

[HeadNtheClouds]

its not a yamaha, or a yamaka, it is a yamulke I believe or is that Yiddish, maybe you can spell it both ways. I am proud that Obama is in Israel experiencing the culture of the people. All the people, he will see that the jews & muslims, arabs, live side by side in Israel in harmony, like any multi-diversified population. I am happy he got to see how it really is. I feel better about voting for him now.

[Valadius]

It's a requirement when you walk in there. All of his Secret Service agents were wearing them as well.

[heathledgerobsessed]

he looks very presidential - and like he is dying in that suit.

[blayzebright]

McCain may be ready on Day 1 to be President, but Obama is ready right now! He's already acting like a President should act.

[herryw]

Ooo... that must be bloody hot!!!! especially he was not residenting there

[Megatron4prez]

OBAMA 08 BABY!!!!

[Jagotje]

Gotta be hot in that suit, yikes.

[turtleblues66]

wow! he"s looking very presidential. FINALLY an intelligent president, we"ve waited way too long for this. Obama 08

[pepsipops2508]

Obama 08 YES WE CAN

[saucyaussie]

Notice how all of Obama's videos are rated 4.5-5 stars while most of McCain's are only rated 3.

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

I couldn't hear a word he said!!

[simon313313]

i went to yad vashem 2 weeks ago ..

Good barack thanx

[MaryWr]

I am glad he went there. I visited some camps in Poland and going there is a totally different experience. Personally, I could feel some of the heart ache as I walked there. No one should forget this terrible time in the world's history. What everyone should know is that the holocaust extends well beyond Jews and includes all of humanity. I was very surprised by this when I visited the camps and saw the monuments and the international flags etc. Bravo Barack.

[ilope012]

Nice to see Obama expressing sentimentality for the nightmare of the holocaust, now lets hear him say clearly we will never allow another holocaust again via a vis Iran. Its time for regime change those Ayatollahs are not conforming and the nuclear clock is ticking to midnight-get ready for the fireworks.

[mvalinsky]

Barack has really performed well on the world stage in the clips I've seen. Looks like he'll be working with all these people in 6 months.

[1windsofchange]

We Love you Obama.

[daderone]

G-d Bless Barack Obama

AM CHAI YISRAEL

YES WE CAN!

[malaaq50]

koweyn u are right and good point

[RUlegaleagle]

Overdone?

[daderone]

no, not in my opinion

[jaygatsbylive]

Obomanation!

[billionaireby16]

Obama is smart, competent, he listens, he learns and he works with understanding before ideology... He is Our Next President of the United States.... He is My Leader... Ladies and Gentlemen... The Next President of the United States... Barack Obama!!!

O-BA-MA!!! O-BA-MA!!!

[hazardouslee]

word up obama 08!!!!!

[burnabyboy1977]

Holy Depressing Speech. Looks like someone isn't getting enough sleep :S

[daderone]

its called being heartfelt and its about the opposite time in Israel from the EST, thats some serious jetlag.

Thank You Obama for You Understanding and Strong Support.

We Love You.

More More More!

[Himechansexytightass]

Nah. He must be suffering from sever heat stroke in that suit.

[1thierry4henry]

Obama!@!

[cosmlayla]

Wonderful video. Thank you.

I would like to visit this place someday.
