Barack Obama on the difference between McCain and Bush

[Outlookpositive]

Great comment, sanel! It is a little known fact in America, that "liberal" Democrats have had much better luck with the economy - than "conservative" Republicans.

Independent for Obama '08

[StarIessNight]

That Secret Service dude in the back is bored as hell. LOL.

Luv Obama :)

[Drewpac10]

biden would dominate palin in the debates

[TRUTHWiLLPR3VAIL]

Let nader debate.

[didyoulisiten]

How do we get the media to ask Obama specific questions, instead of always making a political speech that has been already written?

[zuuleee]

hugs from AFRICA

we want change in America

VOTE 4 0BAMA

OBAMA 08!!

[hmmyeah]

[Shane29706]

I would prefer a third Party pick anyday

[chutterdude89]

[RockyBalboa211]

God bless George Bush, a great man with principles!!

[TechnicalDifficulti]

[08maggie]

public food send me the information you have thanks alot. I'm trying to do everything I can for obama to be prez.

[alexfrank11]

Please vote for this Obama. Follow McCain's political history and you will see flip-flopping and contradictions than any presidential candidate I can remember prior.

Obama stands for real change and has plans in place to do so from day 1. McCain is simply putting up smoke screens to get into office. Please do not fall for the Palin and change guises he is pushing so hard.

"I know how the world works." Please, you don't even know how to turn on a computer.

[milloselmejor]

what do you know even Bush wants to have a timeline to withdraw the troops.

[dkkght]

Why Barry Obama will lose he did not take Hillary. McCain punked Barry and picked Palin. What an election coup this was. Game over Barry, winner is McCain.

[hardddisk]

McCain is prepared... 1. To retire...very comfortably 2. To get America into more ill-considered wars 3. To further dismantle safeguards for American consumers 3. To continue to eliminate good jobs with decent pay and benefits 4. To give more tax breaks to the rich 5. To give more tax breaks to corporations 6. To move America closer to being a police state 7. To reverse Roe v Wade 8. To further politicize the justice system 9. To erase Habeus Corpus entirely Yeah, he's ready alright

[Oletos7j]

Obama = change

McCain = bush

go ahead and be close-minded and vote for mcCain for the single fact he's white.

PEOPLE gotta look PAST the skin color and into the real politics. GROW UP.

Go Obama/Biden 08

[DEPARTMENTofPEACEusa]

Well Said. I want a well spoken well thought out president.Obama in 08!!!!!!

[bloodrayne121]

[MoneyboylG]

Obama Good Words

[Snarles676]

I am more than excited for these debates. Obama and Biden bother will tear Mccain and Palin to shreds.

[oolong2]

Their putting all their eggs into the debate...

I don't know...

This reminds me of Kerry/Edwards 04 all over again...

[XxCIExX]

I'm interested!!!! (:

[typhonsentra]

Don't count on the media. They play right into their hands.

[rockoownz]

I like the sign language lady shes cool. She should be president too.

[Guthix1noob]

obama is studdering

The drive by media loves obama

[Onegurrrlrev]

this green party member is for Obama.

[aec1533]

Here is the Obama I know! Calm, cool and in control.

[MUBZY777]

Obama's campaign is based on working with the people that elect the president's, while

Mcains campaign is based on looking good on camera (especially foxnews)and not really doing anything different from Bush's term.

[ShadowRaptor360]

Obama WILL win the election! GO OBAMA =D

[Stunatra]

GO OBAMA!!!

[superkhfreak]

OBAMA!!! OBAMA!!!

[herryw]

he HAVE TO win.

[maikai86]

that's my President!

[kenyanintheus]

GO OBAMA!

[fordman34156]

Coming into this debate I have faith in Senator Obama, I agree with the man below me its not arrogance its confidence. We can defeat the old politics in Washington. YES WE CAN!

[UltimatePolitics4you]

Needs to win.

[lovefool]

GO OBAMA GO BIDEN!!!

[AintCominHome]

Keep fighting the good fight Foodie! I love it!

[suncagervideo]

Obama has wasted no time after yesterday swinging away at McCain's plans and policies.

The debates are going to get record ratings.

[glddraco]

Please Obama win you have honor and all I'm seeing from McCain is lies and hatred.

[GrafitiBeach]

OBAMA RULES!

[soyinna1]

go OBAMA you are the president in November08

[CapnDingo]

Please please win Obama. My family's relying on it, we're in a bad way.

[becki1964]

We should boycott the media and start writing to sponsors of the news shows on ABC, NBC etc.

[hassaan22]

man, i love you barack!

[valoesdte]

keep it up obama:) I love his confidence.

[kirktalon]

Good talk Mr. Obama. I agree with you 110%. I plan on voting for you in November. However, I fear that the smears on you will get the attention of certain individuals who will find it easier and less mentally taxing to believe the lies than the explanations my college educated mind loves to hear from you. They may come out in large numbers. I'm just asking you to be tough and if you have to drop the professor role and get street smart than do it. It is only going to get worse.

[HotKarl27]

Thanks for sharing this, keep up with the posting of these gems. Love it!

[beachbumde]

Go Barack!!

[TPAUSA]

Amen Brother!

[me213516]

What Obama said about the media is so true. They cover 4 things: polls, scandals, gaffes, and attacks; all of which are largely irrelevant to making an informed choice on who you want to be president.

[BandsImWorkingOn]

wow somebody on Fox News admits that Fox News, and most mainstream news sucks, Bush is starting to not be such an ass, still is, but not to the extreme.

Go Obama, and to any nay sayers, he has offered methods as to how he will do what he says he'll do, so you can't say he isn't, while McCain isn't, which has been the basic formula to every GOP win so far.

Obama 08

[ewigkase1]

I'm anode right now I like Obama but he has no .... you need to start attacking McCain hard. You don't need to lie like he does. Attack him on things how McCain and Palin want to make rape victims pay for the exam for evidence. Make people afraid to vote for him stop being the nice guy that finishes last.I am this close to just voting 3rd party if you don't get your act together dont let McCain win just because you are trying to be the good guy "oh he is nice" please!I dont want another 4years

[sachaput]

While you might be able to 'convert' some of the Paul-ites, I wouldn't count too much on their votes.

I think, on the other hand, that the GOP should really be concerned since those are the voters who feel pushed from the Republican Party by the likes of the Religious Rights & the neo-Cons.

[duecemom2004]

OBAMA/BIDEN ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!

[kyrz0]

Senator Obama, I'm a huge supporter of yours. But as outlined in George Lakoff's article on huffington post, you're helping mccain everytime you use the word Maverick. Even if you're refuting his claim, it plays into his frame and triggers the idea in our minds. We need to adopt some of the branding the republicans do so well, but for good policy. Only refer to McCain as a Bush-yes man.. instead of just calling it a troop withdrawal/timetable, call it bringing the troops home. Just some ideas.

[MellieMel062689]

I feel sorry for McCain during the debates. Barack Obama is a BEAST in debates. Can't nobody hold a candle to Obama in debates. Obama 4 America!

[FOXGotMeBanned]

Obama 08!

[Elaiyel]

Buddy I'm in! How do we start?

[SubmarinerAndroid]

The Obama campaign at this point is like a sleepy old dog that won't even bite its own fleas. You can even walk up and kick it and it won't react.

By all appearances, the old dog's gonna die on Nov. 4.

[americathefat101]

YOU ROCK OBAMA!!!

[deepraine]

I'm worried that at the debates McCain/Palin might do more of this fast talking skirting around the issue. Or do more of the blatant lying about the issues. "When did I ever say I didn't think global warming was man made?", "I didn't mean it as a holy war.", "I was always against the 'bridge to nowhere'", ect ect ect.

[Rolf618]

I like your confidence Barack, not in yourself, but the decency and intelligence of the American people.

Unfortunately, Im not so enlightened, and I AM freaked out. 

Why? Because American watch an average of 4 hours of TV a day, and with 54 days left till Nov 4, thats 216 hours of TV, saturated with the same lying McCain ads, and the same lazy, avoiding the issues news coverage. The debates are only 2 hours long and there are only 3 of them. Which will people use to make up their minds?

[Ryouko97]

Once again, well spoken. Though I think that Obama should address his own policies a tad more (though he probably did in the unrecorded parts of this talk), he pretty much said exactly what was on my mind about how the Republican ticket will not be able to garner a solid foundation on their "change" message.

Well, if Bill Clinton says Obama's gonna do well, I'm just gonna kick back and wait for those awesome debates. Go Obama.

[mattbastard]

i'm with you obama!

[furty786]

oh i love you Obama.

[nimmie54]

Go Obama! England supports Obama!

I have to wonder whether his youtube channel is deleting negative comments though. :s

[maha77]

McCain-Palin represents 95% change for the worse.

[2004JETTA]

debates here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[antifafubel]

Please America, vote Obama!!

[ryknow02]

I know Obama will have great debates but as usual is up the american people whether they want to do more than just listen, but to hear and see the contrast between both candidates.

[turtleblues66]

It will all become clear in the debates!!! OBAMA/BIDEN 08

[azrienoch]

On the issue of debating, I think it would be both healthy for the election and beneficial to Obama's campaign to invite Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, etc. to a debate. What third party voters want is to feel that the two-party system is changing. THAT is change to them. Plus, if it happens to not rally new Obama voters, it will draw voters from McCain to those third-party candidates. Please consider this.

[Sveedle]

I like that he is careful about his responses. It is apparent that he really thinks his answers through without feeling overwhelmed or distraught.

[mike50333]

Copying and pasting isn't enought. We have to find out about their demographics, and see if we can appeal to them in their respective areas. Plead our case, state the facts, and demand the truth! (sorry, CNN on the brain).

[sandidger]

so right..keep your eye on the ball

[VvidEye]

Obama has nothing concrete to talk about.  He's all talk.

[masterkline]

McCain=4 More Years of Bush

[Laughingduck321]

7th comment! Great Video

[lovedalord88]

Keep the Dems calm Barack it's good to see that confidence from you.

[bixxl]

if only the republicans were capble of such intelligence, the world would be a much better place, but in the meantime, go democrats!

[sefrzan]

Problem with Democrats is that they're often too calm and only show emotions when they lose!

Remaining calm is not going win you guys the election. The race is too close for calmness.

Stir things up and win the election big!

[tomm2thumbs]

My feeling is that McCain has learned that saying whatever works is doing the trick for him - so I would project that he is going to come up with a completely new agenda to throw Obama off his game. He's going to propose dramatically similar plans to Obamas and then say 'see, we aren't that different - so may as well vote for me/Palin'. He's devious. I hope Obama realizes to prepare for anything.

[JBeatty17]

STUDENTS FOR OBAMA

Spread the word. Get involved.

[blademan2092]

The unfiltered idea should be able to determine the winners.

[Chestmuscles]

Yes, totally. :) Now is the time to seize the moment and work with other Americans more equally and fairly for a common cause that is to bring success in what we do.

[LiberalViewer]

5 stars and added to favorites!

I liked Sen. Obama's main point giving the policy details behind his characterization of McCain/Palin as "more of the same." But, really, I'm favoriting this video because it amuses me to see Sen. Obama quoting Roger Ailes. Is Obama required to quote Ailes as part of the deal the Obama campaign negotiated with Fox News for the O'Reilly interview? ;-)

Thx 4 uploading this video :-)

[lovedalord88]

He quoted Roger Ailes becuase Fox news is a joke and they play to Republicans who are supporting McCain. So it's easy to see why there is some ignorance with hacks like Hannity on the air for hours every day.

[pidbull]

hahaha probably the deal was: I make it sound like you are a credible news organization (even tho you are not) and you stop lying about me...do we got a deal?

[ToothyMcshark]

It's nice to see Obama quoting a representative of Fox News. It shows that he does not simply dismiss the activity of an opposing party, but that he can potentially agree with them!

[hehsus]

Obama 08! =]]

[ibexr88]

I can't believe how John McCain, Sarah Palin and their campaign have the gall to try to pull the wool over the independent voters' eyes and make them think they represent change or reform in any context whatsoever. John Mccain and Sarah Palin have been staunch supporters of the Bush Administration.

Their angle is to say, "We'll change Washington! We'll end earmarks and pork barrel spending!" (Which are lies), but they offer nothing when it comes to tackling a singe issue that affects us.

[bluewolverine40]

Yes independents don't fall for the glasses and the pretty face there's a barracuda under there God help those who are down trodden if shes president.

[joewspencer]

Senile McCancient and Sarah Flailin' are going to get exposed at the debates. Can't wait.

McCain=Bush

[bubbah]

McFail and Failin ;)

[ShaHov1206]

YEAH!!! OBAMA!

[killerbandit]

I can not wait for the VP debate. We will get to see how hollow of a candidate Palin is.

[johnny7219]

if thier is a hollow candidate in this race its obama if im wrong tell me specific things he is going to do to make our country better

[bittersandblueruin]

I'm for Obama and I agree Palin was a very cynical pick on McCain's part, but we cannot underestimate Palin in her ability to play to the far-right evangelical base. Unfortunately, facts, reason, intellect and nuance don't matter to a lot of people and that's the sad truth. I really like Joe Biden and I always have, but he really can be gaffe-prone and I really hope he approaches the VP debate carefully.

[damieandark]

Exactly. i wont bash Palin, she does seem a smart confident women but she is a pure desperation pick from Mccain which brings into question his judgement.

[neeness]

biden will rip her to shreds.

[Terr0c1ty]

right on brother.

[politicalfarce]

It all depends on the debates.

If Obama does anything less than shine, and McCain does anything more than drone, we're in trouble.

[ihfek]

As Paul Krugman said today, if recent McCain/Palin ads are any indication, we are looking at a "much, much worse" administration than Bush/Cheney. That--the betrayal of the American voter with lies and divisive rhetoric by the GOP--would be my line of attack.

[UbserdMusic]

how can you hate on obama? how can you disagree with him? how can anyone support mcain? this man is amazing

[AbsolutionDouble0]

YES for intelligent response!

1. Well made statement about the media.

2. Well done on pointing out that MacCain/ Palin are running on a change platform yet offer limited, if any, change.

If the Republican party had wanted a change candidate they would've put in Ron Paul. But instead they went for McCain, who has changed from the Maverick he was to the follower of the party line he is now. I'm sorry for McCain, it must be painful to crumble as he has.

Begin the change. Vote for Obama.

[anubis82292]

good speech and very true

[americathefat101]

GO OBAMA. im voting for you. even though im canadian ahaha

[hottangel]

I can't wait for the debates...

In other news, Obama08!!!

[ty4210]

[bbttejed]

I don't think it should count when you have been 26 years on a job and when an opportunity for a promotions presents itself, you start says that you're going to change. McCain's slogan offends me!!!

[Yomay]

Barack Obama for President

[DereckLamar]
