Love the confession in Christ! About the teleprompter thing, most public speakers use some form of a manuscript. It's called wisdom! He's a great speaker, nothing else can be said about his ability except the fact that he uses a teleprompter, in this case a written manuscript. Laughable!
Oh, and lets not forget all the geniuses who were buying up things they KNEW they couldn't afford. When you fall into debt because you were careless, you start losing money, the banks start losing money, and eventually America starts losing money. Then you have all these people who were all for the war when Bush wanted to get his revenge on Saddam claiming it was for oil, who want to jump ship and be opposed to the war? Really?
Amazing how out of no where, everything is Obama's fault. Out of no where, Obama single-handedly put the worlds most financially secure country into a recession. I swear people will believe anything the media puts on television or the radio. If you spent more time helping us all fix this issue instead of pointing fingers, it could be fixed almost as quickly as you want it to. Instead you wake up in the morning - excuse my language - dick riding Obama trying to pin every problem on him.
@Jimthere31 Even if he is the president and he is against the war, he still doesn't have the authority to pull every single troop out of that country without going through a very long process of approval. People want change but are not willing to be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day and America didn't just fall into a financial crisis in a day. This started happening in the late 90's and no one paid attention to it when it could've been avoided.
@Esquobar Hampton university had a school shooting a couple months ago. Its Some crazy black ran up into the school and shot a guard or something and someone else....and the prez'dint is going to speak here? Its also about 90 percent black. Where is the party after the speech norfolk state? I guess odu was to white and virginia tech doenst mean shit to this baboon.
@Jimthere31 Jim, now I enjoy your honesty on things I really do. But you really don't want to get me started on that subject. Let's not forget the shooting at Virginia Tech, which has a small percentage of black students. Now that kid, shot about 50 students. C. Whitman, decides to aim a rifle and gun down 47 students at the University of Texas, generally no black students there. There have been more predominantly white school shootings than there have been black. Now, that is a fact.
@Jimthere31 You are an idiot if you somehow think Obama is the only President to use a teleprompter. Bush relied on teleprompters and Reagan was so old and dumb he needed both teleprompters and cue cards. Facts. Check it out. You probably wont find this out from Fox News
@Jimthere31 why the fuK would he speak at Virginia Tech? You conveniently mentioned the HU shooting but neglected to mention the Va Tech shooting. I wonder why. Fortunately no one died at HU. Va Tech can't say the same.
I hope the voters are proud to have indebted their children and their childrens childrens children into financial slavery to the tune of how many trillion gazillion? Congressman Ron Paul was the only clear choice in the presidential polls to get the US back to what it's supposed to be. But the media largely ignored him thus majority of voters had no idea he was a strong candidate. Doesn't matter what party is in power anymore.... they are both corrupt and twisted
@absoluteauthority08 yeah ron paul was right but also be aware that bush increased the debt to an never before seen level... and also the first bailout was by the republicans. hopefully rp runs again and GL to ran in november
I support Obama, but I haven't heard him give speeches fighting for African-American issues since America got on his bandwagon. I'm just a little concerned that the passion showen to Black voters EARLY in the race has diminished. Was is done just to obtain voters? We must not forget about these issues amidst others such as the economic crisis. Please believe that 4 or even 8 yrs will pass by quickly and nothing will have changed in the Black community unless work is started now. The Time is NOW!
This was conducted in 2007, before the Nov 4, 2008 election day extravaganza. I still remember that day and I will never forget it. Can you say PRESIDENT Barack Obama?
I love my HiiiiU!!! Proud Alumni...I had a really good time at good ole HU! Cant wait to get back to my home by the sea. I'm sure it was a HONOR to have Obama there.....you go HAMPTON!
I love how Obama's speech changes depending on who his audience is. Then when he speaks at a debate or in a TV interview, he tries to speak more white and annunciate his words more clearly. Another example of his phoniness.
HBCU stands for HISTORICALLY Black College or University. They were established because ethnic minorities like African Americans (and in the case of Hampton U, American Indians) we not allowed to study at other schools.
Now schools like Hampton actually have white enrollment comparable to the black enrollment at many historically white schools. Also, there is a strong group of Asian and international students at the school.
Pumpkin1102 what in the WORLD are you talking about??? I happen to attend this GREAT University. Do us and most importantly yourself a favor and not speak of things you know NOTHING about. That is all. OBAMA '08!!!
This is the real Obama: voted for FISA after he promised he wouldn't voted to fund the war (many times) wants to INCREASE military spending wants more troops in Afghanistan voted to keep the patriot act supported Israel's 2006 invasion of Lebanon voted for sanctions on Iran and supports more supports the National ID Act against decriminalization of marijuana a member by proxy of the CFR a part of the New World Order wants more government spending and taxes knowbeforeyouvote. com
First of all there are a lot of white schools, have you ever heard of HWC? Like I said do your research ignorant fool....be proud of your race, but don't try to down mine or my school...thats all
Apparantly I'm not as ignorant as you are. In your first comment you put that Hampton University is a black school and that you are proud of the progress of your race. If you are as educated as you say you are, which I really find hard to believe, you wouldn't be racist.
You would realize that the only way to get beyond something that happened many years ago and something that todays society had nothing to do with is to let it go. And the only way to let something go is to get over it. But I realize that you're not smart enough to understand that. How does it feel to think another race is inferior?
I'm pretty sure you are the ignorant one if you think that "today's society" has "nothing to do with" racism. Im not sure what world you're living in but racism is still very much alive, and you are a prime example. No, slavery does not exist, but to "let it go" is to say that all of those thoughts and ideas have been eliminated and they have not. And how is it racist to say the Hampton University is a black school? It is by definition an HBCU.
First of all that comment on child molesters coming from HU is completely ridiculous and ignorant, i attend HU and it is one of the most prestigious black schools in the U.S you cannot possibly speak on an establishment that you obviously have no experience with. Im proud of my HU, im proud of Obama and i am most proud of the progress of my black race...so do your research ignorant fools before you past judgement
im hoping your joking because if not then that is the stupidest comment ive ever heard in my life. you must be kidding because with the exception of a few HBCU's the entire country is full of "white schools". But of course when we as black people try to do something theres always someone narrowminded and ignorant making a comment like this that makes no sense. So, therefore you must be joking.
Black white who cares. We are all American and we are in this together. If Obama can rally that love that both black and white have then he is the best candidate for us. We are a new generation and we werent raised like our parents and grandparents and shouldnt let them push their bias or racial views on us. I havent instead I choose to show lite on them and let them feel how stupid they look. Any university is better than none. and he right there shouldnt be more back men in jail then college.
wat are u talking about... i take great offense in that statement bcuz my cousin graduated from that university last year..and i dought u hav any idea of wat kind of school hampton is...so please even though u might think chil molesters come from that school, i can asure you that more good people come out of that school than one of your "White" universities where people shoot and kill everyone in the school
I'm so tired of watching the populace of our nation play along with a game that is intended rape our country of its assests and bring its people to their knees. Preservation of personal liberty and national sovereignty is more important than promises of socialized healthcare. Therefore, my vote is for RON PAUL.
At last a hope of more hope in a candidate that speaks of hope in an eloquently manner, lapsing into an Afro-centric speach pattern he never knew but can emulate, rendering a vision of hope for all Americans.
I have noticed as well after watching many Obama videos spanning the past 1.5 yrs. I his speech and Selma, AL and here in Hampton, VA he uses the story telling style and voice inflections common to many black preachers. I'm not impressed nor am I deceived by shallow statements like "It's time for a change" followed by applause and screaming. What I see when I look at Obama is a politician with good social skills. Nothing more.
there is a man in scripture named Apostle Paul he wrote 70% of the new testament.widely beleived to be the greatest of all the apostles He said to the weak i become the weak, i have become all things to all men that i might save a few.Now obama is no apostal but you can not fault him by striving to relate best to a culture,finding the best avenue to get his message across.I dont think he was trying to impress you but get his message across in the best way to be received by his target audience.
yeah right another robot prey on the black vote for office but like most theses dorks have to pay back the people that gave money to their campain thay wont do nothing all in bushes pocket cmon ron paul a real person not propaganda to come
I just wish this could get real airplay by the MSM - it won't but it should. This is the type of speech that unifies a country...it speaks to our collective soul; it exhibits our bestiality but also our divinity (as in we are made in the image of God). We have the capacity of great wrong but the capability of doing great right.
I just wish a wider audience would get the chance to see this.
Spoken with the grace of Martin Luther King and the humble tone of Kennedy.....Obama has always impressed me. This touched me! It's hard to believe that politician could express the troubles the inner cities of America face daily. I do not believe God, but I will pray that Senator Obama is elected
Yeah because I'm sure Obama is all for aborting babies that are nearly full-term and can be delivered by c-section. Stop being intellectually dishonest.
That's a great speech man. Unfortunately this guy is going to be assassinated long before the nominations. The 'chosen ones' are not going to let go the legacy of their founding fathers, and is to keep us down and out. Keep hoping but don't expect anything to change until this push come to shove. God bless you all my people.
